The acetyl xylan esterase cloned homologously from Streptomyces lividans [Shareck, Biely, Morosoli and Kluepfel (1995) Gene 153, 105-109] was purified from culture filtrate of the overproducing strain S. lividans IAF43. The secreted enzyme had a molecular mass of 34 kDa and a pI of 9.0. Under the assay conditions with chemically acetylated birchwood xylan the kinetic constants of the enzyme were: specific activity, 715 units/mg, K-m 7.94 mg/ml and V-max 1977 units/mg. Optimal enzyme activity was obtained at 70 degrees C and pH 7.5. Hydrolysis assays with different acetylated substrates showed that the enzyme is specific for deacetylating the O-acetyl group of polysaccharides and is devoid of N-deacetylation activity. Sequential hydrolysis shows that its action is essential for the complete degradation of acetylated xylan by the xylanases of S. lividans.
