| Summary: | Xylan polymer backbone can be metabolized by xylanase enzyme. Xylanase has been
widely studied for its biological function in food industry and paper pulp bleaching.
Metabolising xylan using xylanase is the preferred approach as it is the easiest and
cheapest method available. Xylanase has been cloned and overproduced in both Gram
negative Escherichia coli and Gram positive Bacillus subtilis. Although B. subtilis and
E. coli are known cell factories for expression of heterologous proteins, the production
of xylanase in these hosts eventually reduces the quality of the products with the presence
of impurities such as proteases and endotoxins. Therefore, the production of xylanase
using Lactococcus lactis is a safer strategy to produce xylanase due to its food-grade
status. This study was aimed to develop a genetically modified Lactococcus lactis
NZ9000 strain harbouring a plasmid that secretes Bacillus coagulans ST-6 endoxylanase
into the exterior environment. Recombinant clones developed in this study was found to
successfully secrete the xylanase using its native signal peptide, L. lactis NZ9000
secreted endogenous protein, USP45 signal peptide and Pediococcus pentosaceus K1
signal peptide; SPK1. Secreted xylanase from transformant colonies was detected by the
clear zone formations on remazol-brilliant-blue-xylan (RBB-xylan)-containing agar
plate assay after 24 h incubation. The expression of this enzyme in the transformants was
further confirmed by Sodium Dodecyl Sulphate Polyacrylamide Gel Electrophoresis
(SDS-PAGE) and western immunoblotting analysis. A band size of ~20 kDa
corresponding to B. coagulans ST-6 xylanase was identified in the samples of His�Tagged purified protein derived from affinity chromatography of the culture media of
induced recombinant clones. The use of different signal peptides showed differences in
the secretion of xylanase. Signal peptide SPK1 used for L. lactis NZ9000 has higher
secretion efficiency of 25.3% compared to the other two signal peptides; USP45 (19.9%)
and NSP (18.2%). However, the recombinant strain using signal peptide USP45
produced and secreted the highest amount of xylanase (16.9 µg/mL) among all three
strains |
