Definitions

  • the present invention relates to methods for sizing paper.
  • the present invention relates to the use of a protein capable of binding to paper or a constituent of paper to size paper.
  • the paper manufacturing process conventionally comprises the following steps: (1) forming an aqueous suspension of cellulosic fibers, commonly known as pulp; (2) adding various processing and paper enhancing materials, such as strengthening and/or sizing materials; (3) sheeting and drying the fibers to form a desired cellulosic web; and (4) post-treating the web to provide various desired characteristics to the resulting paper, including surface application of sizing materials, and the like.
  • Sizing materials are typically in the form of aqueous solutions, dispersions, emulsions or suspensions which render the paper treated with the sizing agent, namely sized paper, resistant to penetration or wetting by an aqueous liquid, including other treatment additives, printing inks, and the like.
  • a sizing agent may be applied to the surface of paper as a "surface” size or may be incorporated within the paper as an “internal” size.
  • Many chemical sizing agents are known including rosin-based and ketene dimer-based sizing compositions.
  • US-A-3,222,245 discloses the sizing of paper using animal glues. There remains, however, a need for improved sizing compositions and methods of sizing.
  • the principal constituent of paper is cellulose.
  • Cellulose may be in the form of wood fibre or annual crop fibre (for example, hemp, straw, rice, flax, jute or cotton).
  • Other constituents of paper may include other polymeric materials, including naturally occurring polymers such as starch, pectin, guar, chitin, lignin, agar, alginate as well as other polysaccharides including hemi-celluloses such as xylanose, mannose and arabinose.
  • Xylanose is the principal component of xylan, otherwise known as hemicellulose which occurs in grasses, cereal, straw, grain husks and wood.
  • Starch occurs in seeds, fruits, leaves, bulbs etc.
  • Enzymes which are capable of modifying an enzyme substrate typically rely on a non-covalent binding interaction with the enzyme substrate in order to function.
  • One such class of enzymes comprise enzymes which degrade polymers, for example proteinases, keratinases, chitinases, ligninases, agarases, alginases, xylanases, mannases, amylases, cellulases and hemi-cellulases.
  • cellulases and hemi-cellulases cleave saccharide or polysaccharide molecules from cellulose and hemi-cellulose, respectively, and amylases cleave glucose from starch.
  • US-A-4,980,023 describes addition of cellulase enzyme to paper during manufacture to cause the paper to decompose when exposed to moisture.
  • binding domains of such proteins can be separated from the active-site domains by proteolysis.
  • the isolated binding domains have been shown to retain binding capabilities (Van Tilbeurgh, et al. , FEBS Letters, 204(2) , 223-227, August 1986).
  • Use of cellulose binding domains of cellulases has been proposed as a means of roughening the texture of the surface of cellulosic support, while use of cellulase active-site domains has been proposed as a means of smoothing the texture of such surfaces (International patent application WO-A-93/05226).
  • binding domains have also been characterised at the genetic level (Ohmiya et al. ,Microbial Utilisation of Renewal Resources, 8 , 162-181, 1993) and have been subcloned to produce new fusion proteins (Kilburn et al. , Published International Patent Application WO-A-90/00609; Ong et al ., Enzyme Microb. Technol, 13 , 59-65, January 1991; Shoseyov et al. , Published International Patent Application WO-A-94/24158). Some of these fusion proteins have then been used as anchor proteins for specific applications.
  • Such proteins have been used as an aid to protein purification through adhesion of the fusion proteins to cellulosic support materials used in protein purification strategies (Kilburn et al. , -US-A-5,137,819; Greenwood et al. , Biotechnology and Bioengineering, 44 , 1295-1305, 1994).
  • the ability to immobilize fusion proteins onto cellulosic supports has also been suggested as a means of immobilization for enzyme bioreactors (Ong et al. , Bio/Technology, 7 , 604-607, June 1989; Le et al . Enzyme Microb. Technol., 16 , 496-500, June 1994), and as a means of attaching a chemical "tag" to a cellulosic material (International Patent Application WO-A-93/21331).

  • the mixture was then stirred at room temperature for 15 min and a paper sheet was made from the contents of each flask using the standard paper making method.
  • the paper was dried at 80°C for 250 s using the drum drier. Sizing was measured the following day using the standard IDT method.
  • thermocellum growth medium was added to the water-leaf pulp instead of the Cl. thermocellum culture fluid.
  • the Cl . thermocellum culture fluid did not impart sizing to the paper it is believed because of the very low levels of cellulosomes free in the culture fluid. Paper sheets made from the pulp debris showed sizing (Table 4) and a significant lowering in the degree of sizing was noted when distilled water was used compared to the Cl . thermocellum growth medium. It is believed that the use of distilled water causes a lowering of the salt/ionic strength of the distilled water as compared to use of the growth medium, resulting in elution of cellulosomes from the pulp surface thereby reducing the degree of sizing. The results confirm that the presence of the Cl . thermocellum cellulosome preparation imparts sizing to the paper sheet.
