FDA published the GRAS final rule on August 17, 2016 (81 FR 54960), with an effective date of October 17, 2016. As GRN 000675 was pending on the effective date of the GRAS final rule, we requested some additional information consistent with the format and requirements of the final rule. We received an amendment responding to this request on October 24, 2016. The subject of the notice is xylanase enzyme preparation produced by Trichoderma reesei carrying a xylanase gene from Talaromyces leycettanus (xylanase enzyme preparation). The notice informs us of the view of Novozymes North America, Inc. (Novozymes) that xylanase enzyme preparation is GRAS, through scientific procedures, for use as an enzyme at levels up to 48.33 mg Total Organic Solids (TOS) per kg raw material in brewing, cereal beverage processing, baking, and processing of cereal grains such as corn, wheat, barley, and oats. Commercial enzyme preparations that are used in food processing typically contain an enzyme component that catalyzes the chemical reaction as well as substances used as stabilizers, preservatives, or diluents.

Mutants of ArthβDG: D207A and E517Q were designed to determine the significance of specific residues and to enable formation of complexes with lactulose and sucrose and to shed light onto the structural basis of the transglycosylation reaction. The catalytic assays proved loss of function mutation E517 into glutamine and a significant drop of activity for mutation of D207 into alanine. Solving crystal structures of two new mutants, and new complex structures of previously presented mutant E441Q enables description of introduced changes within active site of enzyme and determining the importance of mutated residues for active site size and character.

Glycans are involved in a variety of physiological functions and are found in all domains of life and viruses. Due to their wide range of functions, GBPs have been developed with diagnostic, therapeutic, and biotechnological applications. The development of GBPs has traditionally been hindered by a lack of available glycan targets and sensitive and selective protein scaffolds; however, recent advances in glycobiology have largely overcome these challenges. Here we provide information on how to approach the design of novel “designer” GBPs, starting from the protein scaffold to the mutagenesis methods, selection, and characterization of the GBPs.
