| Abstract | The gene encoding an α-l-arabinofuranosidase from Geobacillus caldoxylolyticus TK4, AbfATK4, was isolated, cloned, and sequenced. The deduced protein had a molecular mass of about 58 kDa, and analysis of its amino acid sequence revealed significant homology and conservation of different catalytic residues with α-l-arabinofuranosidases belonging to family 51 of the glycoside hydrolases. A histidine tag was introduced at the N-terminal end of AbfATK4, and the recombinant protein was expressed in Escherichia coli BL21, under control of isopropyl-β-D-thiogalactopyranoside-inducible T7 promoter. The enzyme was purified by nickel affinity chromatography. The molecular mass of the native protein, as determined by gel filtration, was about 236 kDa, suggesting a homotetrameric structure. AbfATK4 was active at a broad pH range (pH 5.0–10.0) and at a broad temperature range (40–85°C), and it had an optimum pH of 6.0 and an optimum temperature of 75–80°C. The enzyme was more thermostable than previously described arabinofuranosidases and did not lose any activity after 48 h incubation at 70°C. The protein exhibited a high level of activity with p-nitrophenyl-α-l-arabinofuranoside, with apparent K m and V max values of 0.17 mM and 588.2 U/mg, respectively. AbfATK4 also exhibited a low level of activity with p-nitrophenyl-β-d-xylopyranoside, with apparent K m and V max values of 1.57 mM and 151.5 U/mg, respectively. AbfATK4 released l-arabinose only from arabinan and arabinooligosaccharides. No endoarabinanase activity was detected. These findings suggest that AbfATK4 is an exo-acting enzyme. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
