Abstract
Carbohydrate-active enzymes are accountable for the synthesis and degradation of glycosidic bonds among diverse carbohydrates. Fructosyl-transferases represent a subclass of these enzymes, employing sucrose as a substrate to generate fructooligosaccharides (FOS) and fructan polymers. This category primarily includes levansucrase (LS, EC 2.4.1.10), inulosucrase (IS, EC 2.4.1.9), and β-fructofuranosidase (Ffase, EC 3.2.1.26). These three enzymes possess a similar five-bladed β-propeller fold and employ an anomer-retaining reaction mechanism mediated by nucleophiles, transition state stabilizers, and general acids/bases. However, they exhibit distinct product profiles, characterized by variations in linkage specificity and molecular mass distribution. Consequently, this article comprehensively explores recent advancements in the catalytic characteristics, structural features, reaction mechanisms, and product specificity of levansucrase, inulosucrase, and β-fructofuranosidase (abbreviated as LS, IS, and Ffase, respectively). Furthermore, it discusses the potential for modifying catalytic properties and product specificity through structure-based design, which enables the rational production of custom fructan and FOS.

Abstract
The trisaccharide 1-kestose, a major constituent of fructooligosaccharide, has strong prebiotic effects. We used high-performance liquid chromatography and 1H nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy to show that BiBftA, a β-fructosyltransferase belonging to glycoside hydrolase family 68, from Beijerinckia indica subsp. indica catalyzes transfructosylation of sucrose to produce mostly 1-kestose and levan polysaccharides. We substituted His395 and Phe473 in BiBftA with Arg and Tyr, respectively, and analyzed the reactions of the mutant enzymes with 180 g/L sucrose. The ratio of the molar concentrations of glucose and 1-kestose in the reaction mixture with wild-type BiBftA was 100:8.1, whereas that in the reaction mixture with the variant H395R/F473Y was 100:45.5, indicating that H395R/F473Y predominantly accumulated 1-kestose from sucrose. The X-ray crystal structure of H395R/F473Y suggests that its catalytic pocket is unfavorable for binding of sucrose while favorable for transfructosylation.

Abstract
The hydrolyzation of raffinose into melibiose by using invertases under mild conditions improves the nutritional value of soybean products. However, this strategy has received little attention because a suitable invertase remains lacking. In this study, a novel invertase named InvDz13 was screened and purified from Microbacterium trichothecenolyticum and characterized. InvDz13 was one of the invertases with the highest specific activity toward raffinose. Specifically, it had a specific activity of 229 U/mg toward raffinose at pH 6.5 and 35°C. InvDz13 retained more than 80% of its maximum activity at pH 5.5–7.5 and 25–40°C and was resistant to or stimulated by most cations that presented in soymilk. In soymilk treated with InvDz13 under mild conditions, melibiose concentration increased from 3.1 ± 0.2 to 6.1 ± 0.1 mM due to raffinose hydrolyzation by InvDz13. Furthermore, the prebiotic property of InvDz13-treated soymilk was investigated via in vitro fermentation by human gut microbiota. Results showed that InvDz13 treatment increased the proportion of the beneficial bacteria Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus by 1.6- and 3.7-fold, respectively. By contrast, the populations of Escherichia and Collinsella decreased by 1.8- and 11.7-fold, respectively. Thus, our results proved that the enzymatic hydrolysis of raffinose in soymilk with InvDz13 was practicable and might be an alternative approach to improving the nutritional value of soymilk.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To achieve continuous production of fructooligosaccharides (FOS) by recycling of the mycelial cells containing the thermal-stable β-fructofuranosidase in Aspergillus niger without immobilization. RESULTS The thermal-stable β-fructofuranosidase FopA-V1 was successfully expressed in A. niger ATCC 20611 under the control of the constitutive promoter PgpdA. The engineered A. niger strain FV1-11 produced the β-fructofuranosidase with improved thermostability, which remained 91.2% of initial activity at 50 °C for 30 h. Then its mycelial β-fructofuranosidase was recycled for the synthesis of FOS. It was found that the enzyme still had 79.3% of initial activity after being reused for six consecutive cycles, whereas only 62.3% β-fructofuranosidase activity was detected in the parental strain ATCC 20611. Meanwhile, the FOS yield of FV1-11 after six consecutive cycles reached 57.1% (w/w), but only 51.0% FOS yield was detected in ATCC 20611. CONCLUSIONS The thermal-stable β-fructofuranosidase produced by A. niger can be recycled to achieve continuous synthesis of FOS with high efficiency, providing a powerful and economical strategy for the industrial production of FOS.

Abstract
Abstract
An enzyme belonging to glycoside hydrolase family 68 (GH68) from Beijerinckia indica subsp. indica NBRC 3744 was expressed in Escherichia coli. Biochemical characterization showed that the enzyme was identified to be a β-fructosyltransferase (BiBftA). Crystallization of a full-length BiBftA was initially attempted, but no crystals were obtained. We constructed a variant in which 5 residues (Pro199-Gly203) and 13 residues (Leu522-Gln534) in potentially flexible regions were deleted, and we successfully crystallized this variant BiBftA. BiBftA is composed of a five-bladed β-propeller fold as in other GH68 enzymes. The structure of BiBftA in complex with fructose unexpectedly indicated that one β-fructofuranose (β-Fruf) molecule and one β-fructopyranose molecule bind to the catalytic pocket. The orientation of β-Fruf at subsite −1 is tilted from the orientation observed in most GH68 enzymes, presenting a second structure of a GH68 enzyme in complex with the tilted binding mode of β-Fruf.

Abstract
Abstract
β-Fructofuranosidases belonging to glycoside hydrolase family (GH) 32 are enzymes that hydrolyze sucrose. Some GH32 enzymes also catalyze transfructosylation to produce fructooligosaccharides. We found that Aspergillus kawachii IFO 4308 β-fructofuranosidase (AkFFase) produces fructooligosaccharides, mainly 1-kestose, from sucrose. We determined the crystal structure of AkFFase. AkFFase is composed of an N-terminal small component, a β-propeller catalytic domain, an α-helical linker, and a C-terminal β-sandwich, similar to other GH32 enzymes. AkFFase forms a dimer, and the dimerization pattern is different from those of other oligomeric GH32 enzymes. The complex structure of AkFFase with fructose unexpectedly showed that fructose binds both subsites −1 and +1, despite the fact that the catalytic residues were not mutated. Fructose at subsite +1 interacts with Ile146 and Glu296 of AkFFase via direct hydrogen bonds.

Distinctive molecular and biochemical characteristics of a glycoside hydrolase family 20 β-N-acetylglucosaminidase and salt tolerance. BMC Biotechnol 2017; 17:37. [PMID: 28399848 PMCID: PMC5387316 DOI: 10.1186/s12896-017-0358-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/20/2016] [Accepted: 04/04/2017] [Indexed: 12/05/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Enzymatic degradation of chitin has attracted substantial attention because chitin is an abundant renewable natural resource, second only to lignocellulose, and because of the promising applications of N-acetylglucosamine in the bioethanol, food and pharmaceutical industries. However, the low activity and poor tolerance to salts and N-acetylglucosamine of most reported β-N-acetylglucosaminidases limit their applications. Mining for novel enzymes from new microorganisms is one way to address this problem. Results A glycoside hydrolase family 20 (GH 20) β-N-acetylglucosaminidase (GlcNAcase) was identified from Microbacterium sp. HJ5 harboured in the saline soil of an abandoned salt mine and was expressed in Escherichia coli. The purified recombinant enzyme showed specific activities of 1773.1 ± 1.1 and 481.4 ± 2.3 μmol min−1 mg−1 towards p-nitrophenyl β-N-acetylglucosaminide and N,N'-diacetyl chitobiose, respectively, a Vmax of 3097 ± 124 μmol min−1 mg−1 towards p-nitrophenyl β-N-acetylglucosaminide and a Ki of 14.59 mM for N-acetylglucosamine inhibition. Most metal ions and chemical reagents at final concentrations of 1.0 and 10.0 mM or 0.5 and 1.0% (v/v) had little or no effect (retaining 84.5 − 131.5% activity) on the enzyme activity. The enzyme can retain more than 53.6% activity and good stability in 3.0–20.0% (w/v) NaCl. Compared with most GlcNAcases, the activity of the enzyme is considerably higher and the tolerance to salts and N-acetylglucosamine is much better. Furthermore, the enzyme had higher proportions of aspartic acid, glutamic acid, alanine, glycine, random coils and negatively charged surfaces but lower proportions of cysteine, lysine, α-helices and positively charged surfaces than its homologs. These molecular characteristics were hypothesised as potential factors in the adaptation for salt tolerance and high activity of the GH 20 GlcNAcase. Conclusions Biochemical characterization revealed that the GlcNAcase had novel salt–GlcNAc tolerance and high activity. These characteristics suggest that the enzyme has versatile potential in biotechnological applications, such as bioconversion of chitin waste and the processing of marine materials and saline foods. Molecular characterization provided an understanding of the molecular–function relationships for the salt tolerance and high activity of the GH 20 GlcNAcase.

Abstract
Pedobacter heparinus heparin lyase II (PhHepII) is composed of N-terminal, central, and C-terminal domains. A long surface loop, designated loop-A, is in the N-terminal domain and is composed of amino acids 84-89. In this study, we deleted two, three, or four residues in loop-A to create Δ86-87, Δ85-87, and Δ84-87 PhHepII deletion mutants. We hypothesized that the deletions would increase PhHepII thermostability. After heating purified PhHepII enzymes at 45 °C for 5 min, 6.1 % of the enzyme activity remained in wild-type PhHepII, whereas 10.6 % of the enzyme activity remained in Δ86-87 PhHepII. The results indicated that the deletion caused a significant decrease in the activity, although Δ86-87 PhHepII is slightly more thermostable than wild-type PhHepII. In addtion, Δ85-87 and Δ84-87 PhHepII had weak or no enzyme activity, even when unheated. Circular dichroism spectra showed that Δ85-87 PhHepII was properly folded. These results suggest that the flexibility of loop-A is important for PhHepII enzyme activity.

Abstract
Lactosucrose, a rare trisaccharide formed from sucrose and lactose by enzymatic transglycosylation, is a type of indigestible carbohydrate with a good prebiotic effect. In this study, lactosucrose biosynthesis was efficiently carried out by a purified levansucrase from Leuconostoc mesenteroides B-512. The target gene was cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli, and the recombinant enzyme was purified to homogeneity by nickel affinity and gel filtration chromatography. The effects of pH, temperature, substrate concentration, substrate ratio, and enzyme amount on lactosucrose biosynthesis were studied in detail, and the optimized conditions were determined to be pH 6.5, 50 °C, 27% (W/V) sucrose, 27% (W/V) lactose, and 5 U mL(-1) of the purified recombinant enzyme. Under the optimized reaction conditions, the maximal lactosucrose yield reached 224 g L(-1) after reaction for 1 h. Therefore, L. mesenteroides levansucrase could be considered a potential candidate for future industrial production of lactosucrose.

Abstract
Abstract
A deep-sea bacterium, Microbulbifer thermotolerans JAMB-A94, has a β-agarase (MtAgaA) belonging to the glycoside hydrolase family (GH) 16. The optimal temperature of this bacterium for growth is 43–49 °C, and MtAgaA is stable at 60 °C, which is one of the most thermostable enzymes among GH16 β-agarases. Here, we determined the catalytic domain structure of MtAgaA. MtAgaA consists of a β-jelly roll fold, as observed in other GH16 enzymes. The structure of MtAgaA was most similar to two β-agarases from Zobellia galactanivorans, ZgAgaA, and ZgAgaB. Although the catalytic cleft structure of MtAgaA was similar to ZgAgaA and ZgAgaB, residues at subsite −4 of MtAgaA were not conserved between them. Also, an α-helix, designated as α4′, was uniquely located near the catalytic cleft of MtAgaA. A comparison of the structures of the three enzymes suggested that multiple factors, including increased numbers of arginine and proline residues, could contribute to the thermostability of MtAgaA.
