Abstract
The Gram-positive bacterium Paenibacillus sp. JDR-2 (PbJDR2) has been shown to have novel properties in the utilization of the abundant but chemically complex hemicellulosic sugar glucuronoxylan. Xylanase A1 of PbJDR2 (PbXynA1) has been implicated in an efficient process in which extracellular depolymerization of this polysaccharide is coupled to assimilation and intracellular metabolism. PbXynA1is a 154kDa cell wall anchored multimodular glycosyl hydrolase family 10 (GH10) xylanase. In this work, the 38kDa catalytic module of PbXynA1 has been structurally characterized revealing several new features not previously observed in structures of GH10 xylanases. These features are thought to facilitate hydrolysis of highly substituted, chemically complex xylans that may be the form found in close proximity to the cell wall of PbJDR2, an organism shown to have a preference for growth on polymeric glucuronoxylan.

Abstract
Background The degradation of plant materials by enzymes is an industry of increasing importance. For sustainable production of second generation biofuels and other products of industrial biotechnology, efficient degradation of non-edible plant polysaccharides such as hemicellulose is required. For each type of hemicellulose, a complex mixture of enzymes is required for complete conversion to fermentable monosaccharides. In plant-biomass degrading fungi, these enzymes are regulated and released by complex regulatory structures. In this study, we present a methodology for evaluating the potential of a given fungus for polysaccharide degradation. Results Through the compilation of information from 203 articles, we have systematized knowledge on the structure and degradation of 16 major types of plant polysaccharides to form a graphical overview. As a case example, we have combined this with a list of 188 genes coding for carbohydrate-active enzymes from Aspergillus niger, thus forming an analysis framework, which can be queried. Combination of this information network with gene expression analysis on mono- and polysaccharide substrates has allowed elucidation of concerted gene expression from this organism. One such example is the identification of a full set of extracellular polysaccharide-acting genes for the degradation of oat spelt xylan. Conclusions The mapping of plant polysaccharide structures along with the corresponding enzymatic activities is a powerful framework for expression analysis of carbohydrate-active enzymes. Applying this network-based approach, we provide the first genome-scale characterization of all genes coding for carbohydrate-active enzymes identified in A. niger.

Abstract
Mode of action of endo-beta-1,4-xylanases (EXs) of glycoside hydrolase families 10 (GH-10) and 11 (GH-11) was examined on various acidic xylooligosaccharides. As expected, none of the enzymes of GH-10 cleaved aldotetraouronic acid (MeGlcA3Xyl3), which is the shortest acidic product of the action of these EXs on glucuronoxylan. Surprisingly, aldopentaouronic acid (MeGlcA3Xyl4) was also not attacked. Only aldohexaouronic acid (MeGlcA3Xyl5) served as a substrate and was cleaved to xylobiose and aldotetraouronic acid. These results suggested that binding of xylopyranosyl residue in the -2 subsite is prerequisite for cleavage of the linkage adjacent to the xylopyranosyl unit carrying MeGlcA. EXs of family GH-11 cleaved neither aldotetraouronic acid, nor aldopentaouronic acid, which is in agreement with their action on glucuronoxylan. Aldohexaouronic acid was cleaved to aldopentaouronic acid and xylobiose without any production of xylose, suggesting that a xylosyl transfer reaction is involved in the degradation of the substrate by EXs of GH-11.

Abstract
The carbohydrate binding site of Bacillus licheniformis 1,3-1,4-beta-D-glucan 4-glucanohydrolase was probed with a series of synthetic 4-methylumbelliferyl beta-D-glucan oligosaccharides (1a-e). The title enzyme is a retaining endo-glycosidase that has an extended carbohydrate binding site composed of four glucopyranosyl binding subunits on the non-reducing end from the scissile glycosidic bond, plus two or three subsites on the reducing end. Subsites -II to -IV have a stabilizing effect on the enzyme-substrate transition state complex in the rate-determining step leading to a glycosyl-enzyme intermediate, with subsite -III having a larger effect (-3.5 kcal mol-1). Since KM values decrease from the mono- to the tetrasaccharide, part of the effect is due to ground stabilization of the Michaelis complex. On the other hand, the chromophoric trisaccharide 1c and the homologous nonchromogenic tetrasaccharide 2b, which locates a glucopyranosyl unit in subsite +I, have almost identical KM values, the difference in reactivity being a consequence of an 18-fold increase of kcat for 2b. Therefore, interactions between subsite +I and the substrate appear to be mainly used to lower the energy of the transition state in the glycosylation step, rather than in the stabilization of the Michaelis complex. Finally, the pH dependence of the kinetic parameters for the hydrolysis of 1c, and the pH-dependent enzyme inactivation by a water-soluble carbodiimide (EAC) suggest two essential groups with pKa values of 5.5 and 7.0 in the free enzyme. The latter value is shifted up to 1.5 pH units upon binding of substrate in the non-covalent enzyme-substrate complex.

Abstract
Microbial endo-beta-1,4-xylanases (EXs, EC 3.2.1.8) belonging to glycanase families 10 (formerly F) and 11 (formerly G) differ in their action on 4-O-methyl-D-glucurono-D-xylan and rhodymenan, a beta-1,3-beta-1,4-xylan. Two high molecular mass EXs (family 10), the Cryptococcus albidus EX and XlnA of Streptomyces lividans, liberate from glucuronoxylan aldotetrauronic acid as the shortest acidic fragment, and from rhodymenan an isomeric xylotriose of the structure Xyl beta 1-3Xyl beta 1-4Xyl as the shortest fragment containing a beta-1,3-linkage. Low molecular mass EXs (family 11), such as the Trichoderma reesei enzymes and XlnB and XlnC of S. lividans, liberate from glucuronoxylan an aldopentauronic acid as the shortest fragment, and from rhodymenan an isomeric xylotetraose as the shortest fragment containing a beta-1,3-linkage. The structure of the oligosaccharides was established by: NMR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry of per-O-methylated compounds and enzymic hydrolysis by beta-xylosidase and EX, followed by analysis of products by chromatography. The structures of the fragments define in the polysaccharides the linkages attacked and non-attacked by the enzymes. EXs of family 10 require a lower number of unsubstituted consecutive beta-1,4-xylopyranosyl units in the main chain and a lower number of consecutive beta-1,4-xylopyranosyl linkages in rhodymenan than EXs of family 11. These results, together with a greater catalytic versatility of EXs of family 10, suggest that EXs of family 10 have substrate binding sites smaller than those of EXs of family 11. This suggestion is in agreement with the finding that EXs of family 10 show higher affinity for shorter linear beta-1,4-xylooligosaccharides than EXs of family 11. The results are discussed with relevant literature data to understand better the structure-function relationship in this group of glycanases.

Abstract
The substrate binding sites of endo-(1-->5)-alpha-L-arabinanases (EC 3.2.1.99) from Aspergillus niger and Aspergillus aculeatus were investigated using reduced and regular (1-->5)-alpha-L-arabino-oligosaccharides and high performance anion exchange chromatographic analysis. Calculation of bond cleavage frequencies and kcat/K(m) parameters for these substrates enabled the determination of the number of arabinofuranosyl binding subsites and the estimation of the binding affinities of each subsite. The A. aculeatus endo-arabinanase has six subsites arranged symmetrically around the catalytic site, while the A. niger endo-arabinanase has five subsites; two from the catalytic site towards the non-reducing end of the bound substrate and three toward the reducing end. The two subsites directly adjacent to the catalytic sites in both the A. niger and A. aculeatus endo-arabinanase have near-zero net free energy of binding. These results are unlike most glycopyranosyl endo-hydrolases studied which have net negative (unfavourable) energies of interaction at these two subsites, and may be related to the greater conformational flexibility of arabinofuranosyl residues than glycopyranosyl residues. The complete subsite maps are also rationalized with regard to the observed action patterns of these enzymes on linear (1-->5)-alpha-L-arabinan.

Abstract
Oligo-1,3-beta-glucosides with degrees of polymerization of 2-9 were labeled at their reducing terminal residues by catalytic tritiation. These substrates were used in detailed kinetic and thermodynamic analyses to examine substrate binding in 1,3-beta-D-glucan glucanohydrolase (EC 3.2.1.39) isoenzymes GI, GII, and GIII from young seedlings of barley (Hordeum vulgare). Bond-cleavage frequencies, together with the kinetic parameter kcat/Km, have been calculated as a function of substrate chain length to define the number of subsites that accommodate individual beta-glucosyl residues and to estimate binding energies at each subsite. Each isoenzyme has eight beta-glucosyl-binding subsites. The catalytic amino acids are located between the third and fourth subsite from the nonreducing terminus of the substrate. Negative binding energies in subsites adjacent to the hydrolyzed glycosidic linkage suggest that some substrate distortion may occur in this region during binding and that the resultant strain induced in the substrate might facilitate hydrolytic cleavage. If the 1,3-beta-glucanases exert their function as pathogenesis-related proteins by hydrolyzing the branched or substituted 1,3;1,6-beta-glucans of fungal walls, it is clear that relatively extended regions of the cell wall polysaccharide must fit into the substrate-binding cleft of the enzyme.

Abstract
Alkali-extractable cereal arabinoxylan and oligosaccharides of known structure derived from it by enzymic hydrolysis were treated with endo-(1-->4)-beta-D-xylanases I and III from Aspergillus awamori CMI 142717 and the digests subjected to analysis by high performance anion-exchange chromatography. Clear differences in the mode of action of the two endo-(1-->4)-beta-D-xylanases were observed. When counting from the reducing end, at least one unsubstituted xylopyranosyl residue adjacent to singly substituted xylopyranosyl residues or two unsubstituted xylopyranosyl residues adjacent to doubly substituted xylopyranosyl residues cannot be removed by endo-(1-->4)-beta-D-xylanase I. At least two unsubstituted xylopyranosyl residues adjacent to singly or doubly substituted xylopyranosyl residues cannot be removed by endo-(1-->4)-beta-D-xylanase III. beta-D-Xylosidase from the same xylanolytic system was able to remove terminal xylopyranosyl residues from the nonreducing end of branched oligosaccharides only when two contiguous unsubstituted xylopyranosyl residues were present adjacent to singly or doubly substituted xylopyranosyl residues.

Abstract
The endo-1,4-beta-xylanase of the basidiomycete Schizophyllum commune, designated xylanase A, was studied to determine its action pattern, rates of reaction and bond-cleavage frequencies on xylo-oligomer and xylo-alditol substrates ranging in degree of polymerization (Dp) from xylotriose (X3) to xyloheptaose (X7). An HPLC method using a Dionex HPLC and Carbopac PA1 ion-exchange column with pulsed amperometric detection was developed to quantify both substrate loss and increase of products. Xylanase A had no detectable activity on xylobiose (X2) and low activity on xylotriose and xylotetraose (X4) but cleaved X5-X7 rapidly with X2 and X3 as major products. Initial rate data from hydrolyses of individual oligomers at 25 degrees C and pH 5.81 indicated that the Michaelis constant (Km) decreased with increasing chain length (n) of oligomer. Turnover number (kcat) increased with chain length up to n = 7 suggesting that the specificity region of xylanase A spans about seven xylose units. Bond-cleavage frequencies obtained from xylanase A hydrolysis of xylo-alditols indicated a strong preference for internal linkages of the xylose chain. The action pattern of xylanase A on reduced substrates suggests that the catalytic site is located assymetrically within the binding cleft of the enzyme.

Abstract
The substrate specificity of an endo-(1----4)-beta-D-xylanase of the yeast Cryptococcus albidus was investigated using a series of methyl beta-D-xylotriosides. In addition to (1----4) linkages, the enzyme could cleave (1----3) and (1----2) linkages adjacent to a (1----4) linkage and further from the non-reducing end of the substrate. The enzyme could hydrolyse a (1----3) linkage that attached a terminal xylopyranosyl group to a (1----4)-linked xylobiosyl moiety. The enzyme did not attack alpha-D-xylosidic linkages. The rate of cleavage of (1----4) linkages was much higher than those of other linkages at 0.5mM substrate, but the rates were comparable at 20mM substrate when transglycosylation reactions also occurred that facilitated degradation of the substrates.

Abstract
A previously described endo-(1----4)-beta-D-xylanase produced by Aspergillus niger was allowed to react with linear unlabeled and labeled D-xylo-oligosaccharides ranging from D-xylotriose to D-xylo-octaose. No evidence of multiple attack or of condensation and trans-D-xylosylation reactions was found. Maximum rates and Michaelis constants were measured at 40 degrees and pH 4.85. The former increased with increasing chain-length from D-xylotriose through D-xylohexaose to approximately 70% of that on soluble larchwood D-xylan, and then decreased slightly for D-xyloheptaose and D-xylo-octaose. Michaelis constants decreased monotonically with increasing chain-length. Bond-cleavage frequencies were highest near the reducing end of short substrates, with the locus of highest frequencies moving towards the middle of larger substrates. These data indicated that the endo-D-xylanase has five main subsites, with the catalytic site located between the third and fourth subsites, counting from the nonreducing end of the bound substrate. The subsite to the nonreducing side of the catalytic site strongly repels its corresponding D-xylosyl residue, while the two subsites farther towards the nonreducing end of the substrate strongly attract their corresponding residues. The subsite to the reducing side of the catalytic site moderately attracts D-xylosyl residues, while the next one towards the reducing end has a high affinity for them. The residual error of the numerical estimation was allocated largely to the Michaelis constants of the different D-xylo-oligosaccharides, whose calculated values were appreciably smaller than measured values, especially for shorter substrates. This suggests that the subsite model cannot fully account for the experimental data. Estimated and measured values of maximum rates, bond-cleavage frequencies, and dissociation constant when the active site is fully occupied by substrate agreed more closely with each other.
