Xylanase-GCW61

Xylanases are enzymes that degrade xylan, a major component of plant cell walls, into simpler sugars. As feed additives, they play a crucial role in breaking down complex polysaccharides in animal diets, particularly for non-ruminants like poultry and swine. This enzymatic action enhances nutrient availability and digestion, leading to improved feed efficiency, growth performance, and overall health of the animals2. Moreover, the supplementation of xylanase in animal feed can significantly reduce feed costs and environmental impact by increasing nutrient absorption and decreasing nutrient excretion.

GCW61, one of the glycosylphosphatidylinositol-modified cell wall proteins (GPI-CWPs) in Pichia pastoris, plays a crucial role in maintaining normal morphology in yeast cells. This anchoring enable enzyme anchoring on the cell surface and performing functionality throughout feed processing, ensuring consistent performance in agricultural applications.

The sequence of DNA elements for xylanase was from Streptomyces thermovulgaris and GCW61 anchor protein was from Pichia pastoris. This composite part was constructed by the basic parts of BBa_K5049003 and BBa_K5049001
