Abstract
Oxidative damage caused by the accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) is one of the main obstacles to the improvement of microbial cell growth and fermentation characteristics under adverse environments. And the antioxidant capacity of cells will increase with the cell growth. Here, we found that a transition state transcription factor AbrB related to changes in cell growth status could regulate the accumulation of ROS and antioxidant capacity in Bacillus licheniformis. The results showed that the accumulation of intracellular ROS was reduced by 23.91 % and the cell survival rates were increased by 1.77-fold under 0.5 mM H2O2 when AbrB was knocked out. We further mapped regulatory target genes of AbrB related to ROS generation or clearance based on our previously analyzed transcriptome sequencing. It proved that AbrB could promote ROS generation via upregulating the synthesis of oxidase and siderophores, and negatively regulating the synthesis of iron chelators (pulcherriminic acid, and H2S). Additionally, AbrB could inhibit ROS clearance by negatively regulating the synthesis of antioxidase (superoxide dismutase, catalase, peroxidase, thioredoxin, thioredoxin reductase) and cysteine. Those results illustrated that the inactivation of AbrB during the stationary phase, along with its control over ROS generation and clearance, might represent a vital self-protection mechanism during cell evolution. Overall, the systematic investigation of the multi-pathway regulation network of ROS generation and clearance highlights the important function of AbrB in maintaining intracellular redox balance.

Abstract
The d-amino acid oxidase (DAAO) from Rhodotorula taiwanensis has proven to have great potential for applications due to its excellent catalytic kinetic parameters. However, its poor thermal stability has limited its performance in biocatalysis. Herein, starting from the variant SHVG of RtwDAAO, this study employed a comprehensive computational design approach for protein stability engineering, resulting in positive substitutions at specific sites (A43S, T45M, C234L, E195Y). The generated variant combination, SHVG/SMLY, exhibited a significant synergistic effect, leading to an extension of the half-life and Tmapp. The ancestral sequence reconstruction revealed the conservation of the variant sites. The association of the variant sites with the highly stable ancestral enzyme was further explored. After determining the contribution of the variant sites to thermal stability, it was applied to other homologous sequences and validated. Molecular dynamics simulations indicated that the increased hydrophobicity of the variant SHVG/SMLY was a key factor for the increased stability, with strengthened intersubunit interactions playing an important role. In addition, the physical properties of the amino acids themselves were identified as crucial factors for thermal stability generality in homologous enzymes, which is important for the rapid acquisition of a series of stable enzymes.

Enhancement in the catalytic efficiency of D-amino acid oxidase from Glutamicibacter protophormiae by multiple amino acid substitutions. Enzyme Microb Technol 2023; 166:110224. [PMID: 36889103 DOI: 10.1016/j.enzmictec.2023.110224] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/21/2022] [Revised: 01/16/2023] [Accepted: 02/27/2023] [Indexed: 03/06/2023]
Abstract
D-Amino acid oxidase (DAAO) is an imperative oxidoreductase that oxidizes D-amino acids to corresponding keto acids, producing ammonia and hydrogen peroxide. Previously, based on the sequence alignment of DAAO from Glutamicibacter protophormiae (GpDAAO-1) and (GpDAAO-2), 4 residues (E115, N119, T256, T286) at the surface regions of GpDAAO-2, were subjected to site-directed mutagenesis and achieved 4 single-point mutants with enhanced catalytic efficiency (kcat/Km) compared to parental GpDAAO-2. In the present study, to further enhance the catalytic efficiency of GpDAAO-2, a total of 11 (6 double, 4 triple, and 1 quadruple-point) mutants were prepared by the different combinations of 4 single-point mutants. All mutants and wild types were overexpressed, purified and enzymatically characterized. A triple-point mutant E115A/N119D/T286A exhibited the most significant improvement in catalytic efficiency as compared to wild-type GpDAAO-1 and GpDAAO-2. Structural modeling analysis elucidated that residue Y213 in loop region C209-Y219 might act as the active-site lid for controlling substrate access, the residue K256 substituted by threonine (K256T) might change the hydrogen bonding interaction between residue Y213 and the surrounding residues, and switch the conformation of the active-site lid from the closed state to the open state, resulting in the enhancement in substrate accessibility and catalytic efficiency.

A systematic review of metabolism of methionine sources in animals: One parameter does not convey a comprehensive story. ANIMAL NUTRITION 2023; 13:31-49. [PMID: 37009071 PMCID: PMC10060178 DOI: 10.1016/j.aninu.2023.01.009] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/20/2021] [Revised: 09/16/2022] [Accepted: 01/19/2023] [Indexed: 01/25/2023]
Abstract
The goal of this review article, based on a systematic literature search, is to critically assess the state of knowledge and experimental methodologies used to delineate the conversion and metabolism of the 2 methionine (Met) sources DL-methionine (DL-Met) and DL-2-hydroxy-4-(methylthio) butanoic acid (HMTBa). The difference in the chemical structures of HMTBa and DL-Met indicates that these molecules are absorbed and metabolized differently in animals. This review explores the methodologies used to describe the 2-step enzymatic conversion of the 3 enantiomers (D-HMTBa, L-HMTBa and D-Met) to L-Met, as well as the site of conversion at the organ and tissue levels. Extensive work was published documenting the conversion of HMTBa and D-Met into L-Met and, consequently, the incorporation into protein using a variety of in vitro techniques, such as tissue homogenates, cell lines, primary cell lines, and everted gut sacs of individual tissues. These studies illustrated the role of the liver, kidney, and intestine in the conversion of Met precursors into L-Met. A combination of in vivo studies using stable isotopes and infusions provided evidence of the wide conversion of HMTBa to L-Met by all tissues and how some tissues are net users of HMTBa, whereas others are net secreters of L-Met derived from HMTBa. Conversion of D-Met to L-Met in organs other than the liver and kidney is poorly documented. The methodology cited in the literature to determine conversion efficiency ranged from measurements of urinary, fecal, and respiratory excretion to plasma concentration and tissue incorporation of isotopes after intraperitoneal and oral infusions. Differences observed between these methodologies reflect differences in the metabolism of Met sources rather than differences in conversion efficiency. The factors affecting conversion efficiency are explored in this paper and are mostly associated with extreme dietary conditions, such as noncommercial crystalline diets that are very deficient in total sulfur amino acids with respect to requirements. Implications in the diversion of the 2 Met sources toward transsulfuration over transmethylation pathways are discussed. The strengths and weaknesses of some methodologies used are discussed in this review. From this review, it can be concluded that due to the inherent differences in conversion and metabolism of the 2 Met sources, the experimental methodologies (e.g., selecting different organs at different time points or using diets severely deficient in Met and cysteine) can impact the conclusions of the study and may explain the apparent divergences of conclusion found in the literature. It is recommended when conducting studies or reviewing the literature to properly select the experimental models that allow for differences in how the 2 Met precursors are converted to L-Met and metabolized by the animal to enable a proper comparison of their bioefficacy.

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.
