Abstract excerpt
The termini of a pair of xylanases, one of mesophilic and one of thermophilic origin, was studied by molecular dissection and systematic mutagenesis. The thermostability of the mesophilic xylanase SoxB from Streptomyces olivaceovirdis was significantly improved by substituting its 33 N-terminal amino acid residues with the corresponding residues of the thermophilic xylanase TfxA from Thermomonospora fusca. Five...
