RBS + Xylanase

Xylanases are enzymes that degrad Xylan, a major component of wood. This is a modified version of BBa_K1175005 that is from B. subtilis (XylA). To ensure that it is kept intracellular we removed a signaling peptide from the N-terminus. Xylanases are interesting enzymes for industry as they have a huge variety of applications.


Activity after Heatshock assay for 30 minutes of linear Xylanase

Usage and Biology

To characterize our part in respect to its thermal stability we conducted a Heatshock Assay. Firstly the Xylanases were incubated at 37 °C, 50 °C, 56 °C, 60 °C and 66 °C. After 30 minutes substrate (EnzChek® Ultra Xylanase Assay Kit) was added and the fluorescence was measured for 150 minutes in a platereader at 37 °C. The results indicate a reduction of activity at temperatures higher than 50 °C and complete loss of function for temperatures higher than 60 °C.
