The amino acid sequence of xylanase isolated from the culture medium of Thermoascus aurantiacus was determined. It had 269 amino acid residues with an alpha-N-acetyl group at the amino terminus. The structure of blocked N-terminal 11 amino acid tryptic peptide except for acetylalanine was determined by sequence analysis of peptides derived from partial acid hydrolysis and from
thermolysin
digestion. The blocked N-terminal amino acid was determined as
N-acetylalanine
by electron ionization mass spectrometry. The sequence comparison of xylanase from T. aurantiacus with the xylanases of alkalophilic Bacillus sp C-125 and Cryptococcus albidus showed 40% similarity. Xylanase from T. aurantiacus had up to 15% similarity with the other two xylanases known. All the five xylanases showed a higher degree of similarity at the level of secondary structure.
