Abstract
The gene (xyn1) encoding a Rhodothermus marinus xylanase has been clon ed and expressed in Escherichia coli. The gene comprises 5 different d omains in an unusual combination. The cellulose binding domains (CBDs) encoded by xyn1 are repeated in tandem at the N-terminus and show sim ilarity with the CBD family IV. The xyn1-gene is the first example enc oding a CBD family IV in combination with a xylan hydrolyzing catalyti c domain of the glycosyl hydrolase family 10. (C) 1997 Elsevier Scienc e B.V.
