The gene encoding endoxylanase (xynA) from Thermoanaerobacterium saccharolyticum B6A-RI was cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli. A putative 33-amino-acid signal peptide, which corresponded to the N-terminal amino acids, was encoded by xynA. An open reading frame of 3,471 bp, corresponding to 1,157 amino acid residues, was found, giving the xynA gene product a molecular mass of 130 kDa. xynA from T. saccharolyticum B6A-RI had strong similarity to genes from family F beta-glycanases. The temperature and pH optimum for the activity of the cloned endoxylanase were 70 degrees C and 5.5, respectively. The cloned endoxylanase A was stable at 75 degrees C for 60 min and displayed a specific activity of 227.4 U/mg of protein on oat spelt xylan. The cloned xylanase was an endo-acting enzyme.
