| dc.description.abstract | Pectin is an important component of plant cell wall and is composed of Rhamnogalacturonan I (RG I), Rhamogalacturonan II and Homogalacturonan. Pectin degrading enzymes such as rhamnogalacturonan lyase are industrially important. Full-length rhamnogalacturonan lyase (CtRGLf) from Clostridium thermocellum and its truncated derivatives CtRGL (catalytic module), Rgl-CBM35 (carbohydrate binding module) were cloned, expressed, functionally and structurally characterized. CtRGLf and CtRGLwere found to be alkaline, thermophilic, calcium dependent enzymes with maximum activity against soybean rhamnogalacturonan I. The time dependent TLC analysis showed that CtRGLf and CtRGL are endo acting enzymes. Modelling and docking studies showed that CtRGL possesses a β-propeller fold and its active is able to accommodate oligosaccharides of up to five residues (DP5). Rgl-CBM35 was observed to bind a wide range of ligands including RG I, arabinan, galactan, glucuronic acid and unsaturated pectic oligosaccharides. Small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) analysis showed that Rgl-CBM35 exits in a dimeric form in presence of Ca2+ ions. Site-directed mutagenesis and SAXS analysis established that Rgl-CBM35 possesses two ligand-binding sites. CtRGLf was explored for application in textile industry. CtRGLf was used for bioscouring of cotton fabric and degumming of jute fibers. Treatment of cotton fabric with crude CtRGLf enhanced its water absorption capacity, which is highly desirable in textile industry. FESEM images revealed that CtRGLf treatment of jute fibres was able to make the fibre surface smooth. Smooth surface of jute fibres facilitates their conversion into yarn. Enzymatic bioscouring and degumming are environment friendly alternatives to chemicals being utilised by textile industry. | en_US |
