Appl Microbiol Biotechnol 2024; 108:48. [PMID: 38183481 DOI: 10.1007/s00253-023-12931-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/06/2023] [Revised: 10/17/2023] [Accepted: 10/27/2023] [Indexed: 01/08/2024]
Abstract
Oxygen is crucial for converting glucose to gluconic acid catalyzed by glucose oxidase (Gox). However, industrial gluconic acid production faces oxygen supply limitations. To enhance Gox efficiency, Vitreoscilla hemoglobin (VHb) has been considered as an efficient oxygen transfer carrier. This study identified GoxA, a specific isoform of Gox in the industrial gluconic acid-producing strain of Aspergillus niger. Various forms of VHb expression in A. niger were tested to improve GoxA's catalytic efficiency. Surprisingly, the expression of free VHb, both intracellularly and extracellularly, did not promote gluconic acid production during shake flask fermentation. Then, five fusion proteins were constructed by linking Gox and VHb using various methods. Among these, VHb-GS1-GoxA, where VHb's C-terminus connected to GoxA's N-terminus via the flexible linker GS1, demonstrated a significantly higher Kcat/Km value (96% higher) than GoxA. Unfortunately, the expression of VHb-GS1-GoxA in A. niger was limited, resulting in a low gluconic acid production of 3.0 g/L. To overcome the low expression problem, single- and dual-strain systems were designed with tools of SpyCatcher/SpyTag and SnoopCatcher/SnoopTag. In these systems, Gox and VHb were separately expressed and then self-assembled into complex proteins. Impressively, the single-strain system outperformed the GoxA overexpression strain S1971, resulting in 23% and 9% higher gluconic acid production under 0.6 vvm and 1.2 vvm aeration conditions in the bioreactor fermentation, respectively. The successful construction of Gox and VHb fusion or complex proteins, as proposed in this study, presents promising approaches to enhance Gox catalytic efficiency and lower aerodynamic costs in gluconic acid production. KEY POINTS: • Overexpressing free VHb in A. niger did not improve the catalytic efficiency of Gox • The VHb-GS1-GoxA showed an increased Kcat/Km value by 96% than GoxA • The single-strain system worked better in the gluconic acid bioreactor fermentation.

Appl Microbiol Biotechnol 2023:10.1007/s00253-023-12560-x. [PMID: 37178309 DOI: 10.1007/s00253-023-12560-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/14/2022] [Revised: 04/24/2023] [Accepted: 04/27/2023] [Indexed: 05/15/2023]
Abstract
Acetoin, an important and high-value added bio-based platform chemical, has been widely applied in fields of foods, cosmetics, chemical synthesis, and agriculture. Lactate is a significant intermediate short-chain carboxylate in the anaerobic breakdown of carbohydrates that comprise ~ 18% and ~ 70% in municipal wastewaters and some food processing wastewaters, respectively. In this work, a series of engineered Escherichia coli strains were constructed for efficient production of acetoin from cheaper and abundant lactate through heterogenous co-expression of fusion protein (α-acetolactate synthetase and α-acetolactate decarboxylase), lactate dehydrogenase and NADH oxidase, and blocking acetate synthesis pathways. After optimization of whole-cell bioconversion conditions, the engineered strain BL-11 produced 251.97 mM (22.20 g/L) acetoin with a yield of 0.434 mol/mol in shake flasks. Moreover, a titer of 648.97mM (57.18 g/L) acetoin was obtained in 30 h with a yield of 0.484 mol/mol lactic acid in a 1-L bioreactor. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report on the production of acetoin from renewable lactate through whole-cell bioconversion with both high titer and yield, which demonstrates the economy and efficiency of acetoin production from lactate. Key Points • The lactate dehydrogenases from different organisms were expressed, purified, and assayed. • It is the first time that acetoin was produced from lactate by whole-cell biocatalysis. • The highest titer of 57.18 g/L acetoin was obtained with high theoretical yield in a 1-L bioreactor.

Abstract
Oxidases are a group of oxidoreductases and need molecular oxygen in the catalytic process. Vitreoscilla hemoglobin (VHb) can improve the growth and productivity of host cells under hypoxic conditions, rendering it attractive for industrial application. In this work, we demonstrated the addition of immobilized VHb increased the catalytic activity of immobilized D-amino acid oxidase of Trigonopsis variabilis by two-fold when catalyzing cephalosporin C under oxygen-limited conditions. A similar increase of activities was observed in glucose oxidase, alcohol oxidase, and p-hydroxymandelate synthase by adding free VHb or immobilized VHb under hypoxic conditions. When L-glutamate oxidase was used to catalyze L-glutamate to produce α-ketoglutarate, the yield increased from 80.6 to 96.9% by fusing VHb with L-glutamate oxidase. Results demonstrated that the addition of free VHb, immobilized VHb, or fused VHb could increase the catalytic efficiency of oxidases, which was considered by increasing the concentration of the microenvironmental oxygen. Thus, VHb may become a potential additive agent to promote the efficiency of oxidases on industrial scale . KEY POINTS: • First time confirmation of facilitation of VHb on several industrial oxidases in vitro • VHb functions under hypoxic conditions rather than oxygen-enriched conditions • VHb functions in vitro in the form of free, immobilized protein and fusion enzyme.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate whether the surface layer (S-layer) protein of Lactobacillus brevis serves as a self-aggregating protein tag for cost-effective separation of human and yeast D-amino acid oxidases (hDAAO and yDAAO) expressed in E. coli. RESULTS In aqueous two-phase (PEG-phosphate) system, the S-layer:DAAO fusion proteins (shDAAO and syDAAO) were separated at the interface with a recovery of 82 ± 10.6% for shDAAO and 95 ± 1.9% for syDAAO. Some shDAAO proteins were separated as precipitates with a recovery of 41 ± 0.5% in phosphate (9%, w/w) using PEG 3000 and PEG 4000 (16%, w/w), while some syDAAO proteins were also isolated as precipitates with a recovery of 75 ± 17.5% in phosphate (9%, w/w) using PEG 4000 and PEG 8000 (16%, w/w). CONCLUSIONS The S-layer of L. brevis was applied to a self-assembled protein tag to enable cost-effective separation of human and yeast D-amino acid oxidases expressed in E. coli cells. Because of the self-assembling properties of S-layer proteins, human and yeast D-amino acid oxidases fused with S-layer proteins could be easily separated by aggregates at the interface and/or in a few conditions by precipitates to the bottom of the PEG-phosphate aqueous system.

Abstract
Enzyme immobilization is widely used for large-scale industrial applications. However, the weak absorption through physical methods limits the recovery ability. Here, affinity-binding immobilization of enzymes was explored using a silica-specific affinity peptide (SAP) as a fusion tag to intensify the binding force between the enzyme and mesoporous silica (MPS) carrier. D-amino acid oxidase (DAAO) of Rhodosporidium toruloides was used as a model enzyme. The optimal screened SAP (LPHWHPHSHLQP) was selected from a M13 phage display peptide library and fused to the C-terminal of DAAO to obtain fused DAAOs with one, two and three SAP tags, respectively. The activity of DAAO-SAP-MPS was superior comparing with DAAO-2SAP-MPS and DAAO-3SAP-MPS; meanwhile DAAO-SAP-MPS shows 36% higher activity than that of DAAO-MPS. Fusion with one SAP improved the thermal stability with a 10% activity increase for immobilized DAAO-SAP-MPS compared to that of DAAO-MPS at 50 °C for 3 h. Moreover, the activity recovery of immobilized DAAO-SAP-MPS was 25% higher in operation stability assessment after six-batch conversions of cephalosporin to glutaryl-7-amino cephalosporanic acid than that of DAAO-MPS.

Abstract
Native d-amino acid oxidase (DAAO) that is expressed mostly as inclusion body and its toxicity for E. coli hamper efficient heterologous expression. In this study, the soluble expression of DAAO from Rhodosporidium toruloides (RtDAAO) was improved in E. coli through N-terminal modification, but the cell biomass was decreased. Then a trade-off between DAAO expression and biomass was achieved to obtain the highest volumetric activity of DAAO through regulated the number of N-terminus histidine residues. When variant 2H3G was fused with three N-terminus histidine residues, the volumetric activity was increased by 3.1 times and the biomass was not significant change compared with the wild type. Finally, the N-terminus disordered region of RtDAAO (HSQK) was replaced with HHHG and the variant enzyme activity reached 80.7U/mL (with a 40 percent of inactive DAAO reduced) in a 7.5L fermenter in 24h.

Abstract
An elastin-like polypeptide (ELP) was fused to D-amino acid oxidases (DAAO). ELP-DAAO exhibited a better solubility in aqueous solutions than DAAO, and its enzymatic activity is about 1.6 times that of DAAO. The stability of the proteins was investigated by interacting with urea at various concentrations. The circular dichroism and fluorescence spectra were measured. The results demonstrated that that ELP-DAAO exhibited a much better stability than DAAO, and ELP-DAAO has retained the α-helix content with a high percentage even at a high urea concentration. The results of this work have demonstrated that the ELP tag can be utilized to purify DAAO, in the meantime the solubility and stability of the enzyme are improved.

Abstract
Since its first use in 1990 to enhance production of α-amylase in E. coli, engineering of heterologous hosts to express the hemoglobin from the bacterium Vitreoscilla (VHb) has become a widely used strategy to enhance production of a variety of bioproducts, stimulate bioremediation, and increase growth and survival of engineered organisms. The hosts have included a variety of bacteria, yeast, fungi, higher plants, and even animals. The beneficial effects of VHb expression are presumably the result of one or more of its activities. The available evidence indicates that these include oxygen binding and delivery to the respiratory chain and oxygenases, protection against reactive oxygen species, and control of gene expression. In the past 4 to 5 years, the use of this "VHb technology" has continued in a variety of biotechnological applications in a wide range of organisms. These include enhancement of production of an ever wider array of bioproducts, new applications in bioremediation, a possible role in enhancing aerobic waste water treatment, and the potential to enhance growth and survival of both plants and animals of economic importance.

Abstract
D-Amino acid oxidase (DAAO) is a well-known flavoenzyme that catalyzes the oxygen-dependent oxidative deamination of amino acid D-isomers with absolute stereospecificity, which results in α-keto acids, ammonia and hydrogen peroxide. Recently, the extraordinary functional plasticity of DAAO has become evident; in turn, boosting research on this flavoprotein. Protein engineering has allowed for a redesign of DAAO substrate specificity, oxygen affinity, cofactor binding, stability, and oligomeric state. We review recent developments in utilizing DAAO, including as a biocatalyst for resolving racemic amino acid mixtures, as a tool for biosensing, and as a new mechanism of herbicide resistance. Perspectives for future biotechnological applications of this oxidative biocatalyst are also outlined.

Abstract
Double D: -amino acid oxidases (dRtDAO and dTvDAO) were previously genetically constructed by linking the C-terminus of one subunit of their corresponding native DAOs from Rhodosporidium toruloides and Trigonopsis variabilis (RtDAO and TvDAO) to the N-terminus of the other identical subunit. We have now immobilized these double DAOs and their native counterparts onto streptavidin-coated magnetic beads through the interaction between biotin and streptavidin. The catalytic efficiencies (k(cat)/K(M)) of immobilized DAOs toward D: -alanine and cepharosporin C remained similar to those of their soluble forms, except the catalytic efficiency of immobilized TvDAO toward D: -alanine was decreased by 56%. After immobilization, the T(m) value for RtDAO was shifted 15 degrees C higher to 60 degrees C, while those for dRtDAO, TvDAO and dTvDAO were increased by 5-8 degrees C to 56, 60 and 60 degrees C, respectively. In the presence of 10 mM H(2)O(2), immobilized RtDAO, dRtDAO, TvDAO and dTvDAO exhibited half-lives of about 8, 10, 3 and 5 h, respectively, giving 16-, 10-, 6- and 7-fold greater stability than their soluble forms, respectively. Therefore, immobilization through biotin-streptavidin affinity binding enhances the thermal and oxidative stability of native and double DAOs studied, especially RtDAO. The additive stabilizing effect of subunit fusion and immobilization was more pronounced in the case of RtDAO than TvDAO.

Abstract
Rapid recovery, immobilization, and silica encapsulation of a dual-fusion enzyme was achieved by using iminodiacetic acid (IDA) modified magnetic nanoparticle as a carrier. D-amino acid oxidase (DAAO) of Rhodosporidium toruloides was used as a model enzyme in which a silica-precipitating peptide R5 and a metal ion complexing peptide (His)(6) were fused to its N- and C-terminal, respectively. After charging the magnetic particle with Cu(2+), the dual-fusion DAAO of 0.43 g could be directly recovered from the recombinant E. coli crude extract and immobilized on 1 g of the magnetic particle. Once in contact with hydrolyzed tetramethoxysilane (TMOS), the homogeneously dispersed immobilized dual-fusion DAAO was biosilicificated to form aggregates with size about 50 microm. The silica-encapsulated immobilized DAAO demonstrated a pyruvic acid production rate comparable with that of the naked immobilized DAAO in five repeated batch reactions when D-alanine was used as substrate. Furthermore, 85% of its activity remained after incubation at 60 degrees C for 1 h while the naked immobilized DAAO lost all its activity. This process provides the advantages that recombinant fusion enzyme can be directly recovered from crude extract, silica encapsulation protects the enzyme from leakage and denaturation, and the enzyme activity can be easily retrieved by applying a magnetic field.

Abstract
D-amino acid oxidases from Rhodosporidium toruloides and Trigonopsis variabilis (RtDAO and TvDAO) are both yeast homodimeric flavoenzymes. Two of their cDNA genes were connected by a hexanucleotide linker and heterologously expressed in E. coli to produce the corresponding double DAOs (dRtDAO and dTvDAO) with two subunits fused into a single polypeptide. The specific activities of double DAOs remained similar to those of native dimeric DAOs, although the catalytic efficiencies (k(cat)/K(M)) were decreased due to higher K(M) values. The T(m) value for dRtDAO was shifted 5 degrees C higher while that for dTvDAO was increased only by 2 degrees C, in comparison with the corresponding native counterparts. In the presence of 10 mM H(2)O(2), dRtDAO and dTvDAO exhibited half-lives of about 60 and 40 min, respectively, which were 2- and 1.5-fold, respectively, longer than their native DAOs. These yeast DAOs can therefore be thermally and oxidatively stabilized by linking their subunits together.

Abstract
The use of DAO (D-amino acid oxidase) for the conversion of cephalosporin C has provided a significant case for the successful implementation of an O2-dependent biocatalyst on an industrial scale. Improvement of the operational stability of the immobilized oxidase is, however, an important goal of ongoing process optimization. We have examined DAO from the yeast Trigonopsis variabilis with the aim of developing a rational basis for the stabilization of the enzyme activity at elevated temperature and under conditions of substrate turnover. Loss of activity in the resting enzyme can occur via different paths of denaturation. Partial thermal unfolding and release of the FAD cofactor, kinetically coupled with aggregation, contribute to the overall inactivation rate of the oxidase at 50°C. Oxidation of Cys108 into a stable cysteine sulfinic acid causes both decreased activity and stability of the enzyme. Strategies to counteract each of the denaturation steps in DAO are discussed. Fusion to a pull-down domain is a novel approach to produce DAO as protein-based insoluble particles that display high enzymatic activity per unit mass of catalyst.

Abstract
The synthetic peptide Vitr-p-13 (YPIVGQELLGAIK-NH(2)), derived from the bacterial dimeric Vitreoscilla haemoglobin (VHb) in the position 95-107, is characterized by a pre-eminent "statistical coil" conformation in water as demonstrated by CD experiments and long time-scale MD simulations. In particular, Vitr-p-13 does not spontaneously adopt an alpha-helix folding in water, but it is rather preferentially found in beta-hairpin-like conformations. Long time-scale MD simulations have also shown that Vitr-p-13 displays a "topological-trigger" which initiates alpha-helix folding within residues 7-10, exactly like seen in the temporins, a group of linear, membrane-active antimicrobial peptides of similar length. At variance with temporins, in Vitr-p-13 such a process is energetically very demanding (+10 kJ/mol) in water at 300 K, and the peptide was found to be unable to bind model membranes in vitro and was devoid of antimicrobial activity. The present results, compared with previous studies on similar systems, strengthen the hypothesis of the requirement of a partial folding when still in aqueous environment to allow a peptide to interact with cell-membranes and eventually exert membrane perturbation-related antibiotic effects on target microbial cells.

Abstract
One of the primary sources of enzyme instability is protein oxidative modification triggering activity loss or denaturation. We show here that the side chain of Cys108 is the main site undergoing stress-induced oxidation in Trigonopsis variabilis d-amino acid oxidase, a flavoenzyme employed industrially for the conversion of cephalosporin C. High-resolution anion-exchange chromatography was used to separate the reduced and oxidized protein forms, which constitute, in a molar ratio of about 3:1, the active biocatalyst isolated from the yeast. Comparative analysis of their tryptic peptides by electrospray tandem mass spectrometry allowed unequivocal assignment of the modification as the oxidation of Cys108 into cysteine sulfinic acid. Cys108 is likely located on a surface-exposed protein region within the flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) binding domain, but remote from the active center. Its oxidized side chain was remarkably stable in solution, thus enabling the relative biochemical characterization of native and modified enzyme forms. The oxidation of Cys108 causes a global conformational response that affects the protein environment of the FAD cofactor. In comparison with the native enzyme, it results in a fourfold-decreased specific activity, reflecting a catalytic efficiency for reduction of dioxygen lowered by about the same factor, and a markedly decreased propensity to aggregate under conditions of thermal denaturation. These results open up unprecedented routes for stabilization of the oxidase and underscore the possible significance of protein chemical heterogeneity for biocatalyst function and stability.

Abstract
Trigonopsis variabilis D-amino acid oxidase (TvDAO) is a long-known flavoenzyme whose most important biocatalytic application is currently the industrial production of 7-amino-cephalosporanic acid (7-ACA) from cephalosporin C. Lacking mechanistic foundation, rational stabilization of TvDAO for improved process performance remains a problem. We report on results of thermal denaturation studies at 50 degrees C in which two purified TvDAO forms were compared: the native enzyme, and a site-specifically oxidized protein variant that had the side chain of cysteine108 converted into a sulfinic acid and lost 75% of original specific activity. Although inactivation time courses for both enzymes are fairly well described by simple single-exponential decays, the underlying denaturation mechanisms are shown by experiments and modeling to be complex. One main path leading to inactivation is FAD release, a process whose net rate is determined by the reverse association rate constant (k), which is 25-fold lower in the oxidized form of TvDAO. Cofactor dissociation is kinetically coupled to aggregation and can be blocked completely by the addition of free FAD. Aggregation is markedly attenuated in the less stable Cys108-SO(2)H-containing enzyme, suggesting that it is a step accompanying but not causing the inactivation. A second parallel path, characterized by a k-value of 0.26/h that is not dependent on protein concentration and identical for both enzymes, likely reflects thermal unfolding reactions. A third, however, slow process is the conversion of the native enzyme into the oxidized form (k < 0.03/h). The results fully explain the different stabilities of native and oxidized TvDAO and provide an inactivation mechanism-based tool for the stabilization of the soluble oxidase.
