Modified xylanases exhibiting improved expression

A modified Family (11) xylanase enzyme comprising a sequence that introduces a functional consensus glycosylation site is provided. Non-limiting examples o f introduced glycosylation sites include mutation of the amino acid at positio n (34, 131, 180, 182), or a combination thereof, to an asparagine...

Zusammenfassung:A modified Family (11) xylanase enzyme comprising a sequence that introduces a functional consensus glycosylation site is provided. Non-limiting examples o f introduced glycosylation sites include mutation of the amino acid at positio n (34, 131, 180, 182), or a combination thereof, to an asparagine. The indicat ed amino acid position in the Family (11) xylanase is determined from sequence alignment of the xylanase of interest with that of a Trichoderma reesei xylanase II amino acid sequence. The introduced consensus glycosylation site facilitates increased expression efficiency of the modified xylanase when compared to the expression efficiency of a corresponding xylanase from which the modified xylanase was derived, using similar host strains and growth conditions.
