The molecular weight of the purified enzyme was 14.2 kDa by MALDI-TOF analysis and is in agreement with SDS-PAGE and gel filtration chromatography. The purified enzyme exhibited both endocarboxymethyl cellulase and endoxylanase activities. A kinetic method was employed to study the active site of the enzyme that hydrolyzes both carboxymethyl cellulose and xylan. The experimental data coincide well with the theoretical values calculated for the case of a single active site. Conformation and microenvironment at the active site was probed with fluorescent chemo-affinity labeling using o-phthalaidehyde as the chemical initiator. Formation of isoindole derivative resulted in complete inactivation of the enzyme to hydrolyze both xylan and CMC as judged by fluorescence studies corroborating a single active site for the hydrolysis of xylan and CMC.

Denaturation studies using GdnCl indicated that TSC folds through a partially folded state that resembles molten globule at 1.8 M GdnCl. The chaperone activity of alpha- crystallin was employed to study refolding of TSC. Here we studied the refolding of GdnCl denatured TSC from its molten globule state (TSC-m complex) in the presence and absence of alpha-crystallin to elucidate the molecular mechanism of chaperone-mediated in vitro folding. Our results, based on intrinsic tryptophan fluorescence and ANS binding studies, suggest that alpha-crystallin formed a complex with a putative intermediate molten globule - like intermediate in the refolding pathway of TSC. Reconstitution of the active TSC was observed on cooling the alpha-crystallin aEuro cent TSC -m complex to 4A degrees C. Addition of alpha-crystallin to the molten globule - like intermediate of TSC (TSC-m complex) complex initiated the refolding of TSC with 69 % recovery of the biological activity of the enzyme.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">6</style></issue><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Foreign</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1.966</style></custom4></record></records></xml>
