Abstract
The use of non-potable water (such as seawater) is an attractive alternative for water intensive processes such as biomass pretreatment and saccharification steps in the production of biochemicals and biofuels. Identification and application of halotolerant enzymes compatible with high-salt conditions may reduce the energy needed for non-potable water treatment and decrease waste treatment costs. Here we present the biochemical properties of a halotolerant endo-1,4-β-xylanase produced by Aspergillus clavatus in submerged fermentation, using paper sludge (XPS) and sugarcane bagasse (XSCB), and its potential application in the hydrolysis of agroindustrial residues. The peptide mass fingerprint and amino acid sequencing of the XPS and XSCB enzymes showed primary structure similarities with an endo-1,4-β-xylanase from Aspergillus clavatus (XYNA_ASPCL). Both enzyme preparations presented good thermal stability at 50 °C and were stable over a wide range of pH and Vmax up to 2450 U/mg for XPS. XPS and XSCB were almost fully stable even after 24 h of incubation in the presence of up to 3 M NaCl, and their activity were not affected by 500 mM NaCl. Both enzyme preparations were capable of hydrolyzing paper sludge and sugarcane bagasse to release reducing sugars. These characteristics make this xylanase attractive to be used in the hydrolysis of biomass, particularly with brackish water or seawater.

Ergün BG, Çalık P. Lignocellulose degrading extremozymes produced by Pichia pastoris: current status and future prospects. Bioprocess Biosyst Eng 2016; 39:1-36. [PMID: 26497303 DOI: 10.1007/s00449-015-1476-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 33] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/29/2015] [Accepted: 09/21/2015] [Indexed: 02/06/2023]
Abstract
In this review article, extremophilic lignocellulosic enzymes with special interest on xylanases, β-mannanases, laccases and finally cellulases, namely, endoglucanases, exoglucanases and β-glucosidases produced by Pichia pastoris are reviewed for the first time. Recombinant lignocellulosic extremozymes are discussed from the perspectives of their potential application areas; characteristics of recombinant and native enzymes; the effects of P. pastoris expression system on recombinant extremozymes; and their expression levels and applied strategies to increase the enzyme expression yield. Further, effects of enzyme domains on activity and stability, protein engineering via molecular dynamics simulation and computational prediction, and site-directed mutagenesis and amino acid modifications done are also focused. Superior enzyme characteristics and improved stability due to the proper post-translational modifications and better protein folding performed by P. pastoris make this host favourable for extremozyme production. Especially, glycosylation contributes to the structure, function and stability of enzymes, as generally glycosylated enzymes produced by P. pastoris exhibit better thermostability than non-glycosylated enzymes. However, there has been limited study on enzyme engineering to improve catalytic efficiency and stability of lignocellulosic enzymes. Thus, in the future, studies should focus on protein engineering to improve stability and catalytic efficiency via computational modelling, mutations, domain replacements and fusion enzyme technology. Also metagenomic data need to be used more extensively to produce novel enzymes with extreme characteristics and stability.

Improved Production of Aspergillus usamii endo-β-1,4-Xylanase in Pichia pastoris via Combined Strategies. BIOMED RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2016; 2016:3265895. [PMID: 27066499 PMCID: PMC4811622 DOI: 10.1155/2016/3265895] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/11/2015] [Accepted: 01/24/2016] [Indexed: 11/24/2022]
Abstract
A series of strategies were applied to improve expression level of recombinant endo-β-1,4-xylanase from Aspergillus usamii (A. usamii) in Pichia pastoris (P. pastoris). Firstly, the endo-β-1,4-xylanase (xynB) gene from A. usamii was optimized for P. pastoris and expressed in P. pastoris. The maximum xylanase activity of optimized (xynB-opt) gene was 33500 U/mL after methanol induction for 144 h in 50 L bioreactor, which was 59% higher than that by wild-type (xynB) gene. To further increase the expression of xynB-opt, the Vitreoscilla hemoglobin (VHb) gene was transformed to the recombinant strain containing xynB-opt. The results showed that recombinant strain harboring the xynB-opt and VHb (named X33/xynB-opt-VHb) displayed higher biomass, cell viability, and xylanase activity. The maximum xylanase activity of X33/xynB-opt-VHb in 50 L bioreactor was 45225 U/mL, which was 35% and 115% higher than that by optimized (xynB-opt) gene and wild-type (xynB) gene. Finally, the induction temperature of X33/xynB-opt-VHb was optimized in 50 L bioreactor. The maximum xylanase activity of X33/xynB-opt-VHb reached 58792 U/mL when the induction temperature was 22°C. The results presented here will greatly contribute to improving the production of recombinant proteins in P. pastoris.

JOURNAL OF THE SCIENCE OF FOOD AND AGRICULTURE 2015; 95:1408-1413.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Inulin fructotransferase (IFTase) catalyzes inulin conversion to difructose anhydride (DFA III), which is a natural low-calorie sweetener. Although heterologous expression of IFTase was achieved in Escherichia coli, the extracellular enzyme activity was very low, which limited the commercialization of IFTase. RESULTS Active IFTase of about 43 kDa molecular mass of subunit was extracellularly expressed by Pichia pastoris and was greatly regulated by the IFTase gene copy number integrated into the P. pastoris genome and by the methanol concentration in the induction phase. Under optimized culture conditions, multicopy P. pastoris exhibited a maximum extracellular IFTase activity of 105.4 U mL(-1) in a 5 L fermenter, which was 8.9-fold the activity in shake flasks and 5.3-fold that obtained from wild-type strain. CONCLUSION IFTase was expressed in a eukaryotic P. pastoris system for the first time and achieved high-level extracellular expression using a high-cell-density fed-batch cultivation strategy. This demonstrated that P. pastoris was a good candidate for potential DFA III production as a novel IFTase expression system.
