Seven N-terminal residues of a thermophilic xylanase are sufficient to confer hyperthermostability on its mesophilic counterpart.
Xylanases, and especially thermostable xylanases, are increasingly of interest for the deconstruction of lignocellulosic biomass. In this paper, the termini of a pair of xylanases, mesophilic SoxB and thermophilic TfxA, were studied. Two regions in the N-terminus of TfxA were discovered to be potent...
