实验参考方法

Kinase experiment:

Arabinoglucuronoxylan (AGX) is extracted and purified from Norway spruce (Picea abies) secondary cell walls using two complementary processes: (i) alkali extraction after delignification (AGX-A) and (ii) subcritical water extraction and enzymatic purification (AGX-H). The monosaccharide composition of the Xylan is analyzed after acid methanolysis (1 M TFA, 3h, 100°C) and high-pH anion-exchange chromatography with pulsed amperometric detection[1].

产品描述

Xylan represents the main hemicellulose component in the secondary plant cell walls of flowering plants. Xylan is a polysaccharide made from units of xylose and contains predominantly β-D-xylose units linked as in cellulose.

Two different Xylan fractions are extracted from spruce wood using an alkaline process (AGX-A) and a hydrothermal process by subcritical water (AGX-H). AGX-A shows lower relative glucuronation and higher arabinosylation compare with AGX-H. These differences in substitution may arise from the different extractability of distinct Xylan populations in softwoods or be induced by the extraction process. mGlcA substitutions do not affect significantly the conformational space of the Xylan backbone, neither in their protonated nor deprotonated state[1].

Xylan biosynthesis

Curr Opin Biotechnol 2014 Apr;26:100-7.24679265 10.1016/j.copbio.2013.11.013

Plant cells are surrounded by a rigid wall made up of cellulose microfibrils, pectins, hemicelluloses, and lignin. This cell wall provides structure and protection for plant cells. In grasses and in dicot secondary cell walls, the major hemicellulose is a polymer of β-(1,4)-linked xylose units called Xylan. Unlike cellulose--which is synthesized by large complexes at the plasma membrane--xylan is synthesized by enzymes in the Golgi apparatus. Xylan synthesis thus requires the coordinated action and regulation of these synthetic enzymes as well as others that synthesize and transport substrates into the Golgi. Recent research has identified several genes involved in Xylan synthesis, some of which have already been used in engineering efforts to create plants that are better suited for biofuel production.

Outstanding questions on Xylan biosynthesis

Plant Sci 2022 Dec;325:111476.36174800 10.1016/j.plantsci.2022.111476

Xylan is the second most abundant polysaccharide in plant biomass. It is a crucial component of cell wall structure as well as a significant factor contributing to biomass recalcitrance. Xylan consists of a linear chain of β-1,4-linked xylosyl residues that are often substituted with glycosyl side chains, such as glucuronosyl/methylglucuronosyl and arabinofuranosyl residues, and acetylated at O-2 and/or O-3. Xylan from gymnosperms and dicots contains a unique reducing end tetrasaccharide sequence that is not detected in Xylan from grasses, bryophytes and seedless vascular plants. Grass Xylan is heavily decorated at O-3 with arabinofuranosyl residues that are frequently esterified with hydroxycinnamates. Genetic and biochemical studies have uncovered a number of genes involved in Xylan backbone elongation and acetylation, Xylan glycosyl substitutions and their modifications, and the synthesis of the unique Xylan reducing end tetrasaccharide sequence, but some outstanding issues on the biosynthesis of Xylan still remain unanswered. Here, we provide a brief overview of Xylan structure and focus on discussion of the current understanding and open questions on Xylan biosynthesis. Further elucidation of the biochemical mechanisms underlying Xylan biosynthesis will not only shed new insights into cell wall biology but also provide molecular tools for genetic modification of biomass composition tailored for diverse end uses.

Xylan in drug delivery: A review of its engineered structures and biomedical applications

Eur J Pharm Biopharm 2020 Jun;151:199-208.32339636 10.1016/j.ejpb.2020.04.016

Xylan, an abundant biopolymer mainly extracted from plants and algae, is commonly studied for textile, food and biomedical applications. In this review, different approaches to obtain xylan-based products for drug delivery purposes were described. Investigations about xylan-based films, micro- and nanostructure, with the ability or not to swell (hydrogels), developed for biomedical applications, were summarized. Furthermore, a section on colon drug delivery and the methods that have been developed for the evaluation of these systems were presented.

Balanced Xylan Acetylation is the Key Regulator of Plant Growth and Development, and Cell Wall Structure and for Industrial Utilization

Int J Mol Sci 2020 Oct 23;21(21):7875.33114198 PMC7660596

Xylan is the most abundant hemicellulose, constitutes about 25-35% of the dry biomass of woody and lignified tissues, and occurs up to 50% in some cereal grains. The accurate degree and position of Xylan acetylation is necessary for Xylan function and for plant growth and development. The post synthetic acetylation of cell wall Xylan, mainly regulated by Reduced Wall Acetylation (RWA), Trichome Birefringence-Like (TBL), and Altered Xyloglucan 9 (AXY9) genes, is essential for effective bonding of Xylan with cellulose. Recent studies have proven that not only Xylan acetylation but also its deacetylation is vital for various plant functions. Thus, the present review focuses on the latest advances in understanding Xylan acetylation and deacetylation and explores their effects on plant growth and development. Baseline knowledge about precise regulation of Xylan acetylation and deacetylation is pivotal to developing plant biomass better suited for second-generation liquid biofuel production.

Gut microbial utilization of Xylan and its implication in gut homeostasis and metabolic response

Carbohydr Polym 2022 Jun 15;286:119271.35337525 10.1016/j.carbpol.2022.119271

Xylan as the second most abundant indigestible carbohydrate found in nature attracts great interests of researchers, nutritionist and consumers due to its various health benefits. However, accumulated studies indicate the interactions with gut microbiota greatly affect these benefits, and significant progress has been made over the past few years to understand how microbes utilize Xylan at gene level. In this review, we focused on gut xylanolytic microbes and Xylan's physico-chemical features, summarized the xylanases needed for complete Xylan decomposition, their substrate specificity and the presence in gut microbes, as well as microbial degradation of Xylan in single strain mode and cooperation mode. Xylan utilization system were discussed with different phyla. Furthermore, the implications on intestinal homeostasis and metabolic response were reviewed with clinical effects emphasized, and highlight is placed on specific gut microbes and the complexity of Xylan structure to provide a clue for the inconsistent results in human studies.
