| Résumé | The β-1,4-endoglucanase (EC 3.2.1.4) from the hyperthermophilic archaeon Pyrococcus horikoshii (EGPh) has strong hydrolyzing activity toward crystalline cellulose. When EGPh is used in combination with β-glucosidase (EC 3.2.1.21), cellulose is completely hydrolyzed to glucose at high temperature, suggesting great potential for EGPh in bioethanol industrial applications. The crystal structure of EGPh shows a triosephosphate isomerase (TIM) (β/α)8-barrel fold with an N-terminal antiparallel β-sheet at the opposite side of the active site and a very short C-terminal sequence outside of the barrel structure. We describe here the function of the peripheral sequences outside of the TIM barrel core structure. Sequential deletions were performed from both N and C termini. The activity, thermostability, and pH stability of the expressed mutants were assessed and compared to the wildtype EGPh enzyme. Our results demonstrate that the TIM barrel core is essential for enzyme activity and that the N-terminal β-sheet is critical for enzyme thermostability. Bioinformatics analyses identified potential key residues which may contribute to enzyme hyperthermostability. © 2012, American Society for Microbiology. |
