ThexylAgene from a marine bacterium,Vibriosp. strain XY-214, encodingd-xylose isomerase (XylA) was cloned and expressed inEscherichia coli. ThexylAgene consisted of 1,320-bp nucleotides encoding a protein of 439 amino acids with a predicted molecular weight of 49,264. XylA was classified into group II xylose isomerases. The native XylA was estimated to be a homotetramer with a molecular mass of 190 kDa. The purified recombinant XylA exhibited maximal activity at 60°C and pH 7.5. Its apparentKmvalues ford-xylose andd-glucose were 7.93 and 187 mM, respectively. Furthermore, we carried outd-xylulose production from β-1,3-xylan, a major cell wall polysaccharide component of the killer algaCaulerpa taxifolia. The synergistic action of β-1,3-xylanase (TxyA) and β-1,3-xylosidase (XloA) fromVibriosp. strain XY-214 enabled efficient saccharification of β-1,3-xylan tod-xylose.d-Xylose was then converted tod-xylulose by using XylA from the strain XY-214. The conversion rate ofd-xylose tod-xylulose by XylA was found to be approximately 40% in the presence of 4 mM sodium tetraborate after 2 h of incubation. These results demonstrated that TxyA, XloA, and XylA fromVibriosp. strain XY-214 are useful tools ford-xylulose production from β-1,3-xylan. Becaused-xylulose can be used as a source for ethanol fermentation by yeastSaccharomyces cerevisiae, the present study will provide a basis for ethanol production from β-1,3-xylan.
