Xylosidases hydrolyze xylopolymers at the nonreducing end to free xylose units. The β-xylosidase (XylC) from Thermoanaerobacterium saccharolyticum JW/SL-YS485 was expressed in Escherichia coli and the recombinant protein was purified and crystallized. A BLASTP search with the XylC protein sequence showed that no similar structure had previously been solved. XylC was classified as a member of the new glycoside hydrolase family GH120 according to the CAZy website (http://www.cazy.org/). Crystals b ...[more]
