Contribution of a C-Terminal Extension to the Substrate Affinity and Oligomeric Stability of Aldehyde Dehydrogenase from Thermus thermophilus HB27. Biochemistry 2024; 63:1075-1088. [PMID: 38602394 PMCID: PMC11080044 DOI: 10.1021/acs.biochem.3c00698] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/14/2023] [Revised: 03/22/2024] [Accepted: 03/25/2024] [Indexed: 04/12/2024]
Abstract
Aldehyde dehydrogenase enzymes (ALDHs) are widely studied for their roles in disease propagation and cell metabolism. Their use in biocatalysis applications, for the conversion of aldehydes to carboxylic acids, has also been recognized. Understanding the structural features and functions of both prokaryotic and eukaryotic ALDHs is key to uncovering novel applications of the enzyme and probing its role in disease propagation. The thermostable enzyme ALDHTt originating fromThermus thermophilus, strain HB27, possesses a unique extension of its C-terminus, which has been evolutionarily excluded from mesophilic counterparts and other thermophilic enzymes in the same genus. In this work, the thermophilic adaptation is studied by the expression and optimized purification of mutant ALDHTt-508, with a 22-amino acid truncation of the C-terminus. The mutant shows increased activity throughout production compared to native ALDHTt, indicating an opening of the active site upon C-terminus truncation and giving rationale into the evolutionary exclusion of the C-terminal extension from similar thermophilic and mesophilic ALDH proteins. Additionally, the C-terminus is shown to play a role in controlling substrate specificity of native ALDH, particularly in excluding catalysis of certain large and certain aromatic ortho-substituted aldehydes, as well as modulating the protein's pH tolerance by increasing surface charge. Dynamic light scattering and size-exclusion HPLC methods are used to show the role of the C-terminus in ALDHTt oligomeric stability at the cost of catalytic efficiency. Studying the aggregation rate of ALDHTt with and without a C-terminal extension leads to the conclusion that ALDHTt follows a monomolecular reaction aggregation mechanism.

Understanding the Xylooligosaccharides Utilization Mechanism of Lactobacillus brevis and Bifidobacterium adolescentis: Proteins Involved and Their Conformational Stabilities for Effectual Binding.

Abstract
Xylooligosaccharides having various degrees of polymerization such as xylobiose, xylotriose, and xylotetraose positively affect human health by interacting with gut proteins. The present study aimed to identify proteins present in gut microflora, such as xylosidase, xylulokinase, etc., with the help of retrieved whole-genome annotations and find out the mechanistic interactions of those with the above substrates. The 3D structures of proteins, namely Endo-1,4-beta-xylanase B (XynB) from Lactobacillus brevis and beta-D-xylosidase (Xyl3) from Bifidobacterium adolescentis, were computationally predicted and validated with the help of various bioinformatics tools. Molecular docking studies identified the effectual binding of these proteins to the xylooligosaccharides, and the stabilities of the best-docked complexes were analyzed by molecular dynamic simulation. The present study demonstrated that XynB and Xyl3 showed better effectual binding toward Xylobiose with the binding energies of - 5.96 kcal/mol and - 4.2 kcal/mol, respectively. The interactions were stabilized by several hydrogen bonding having desolvation energy (- 6.59 and - 7.91). The conformational stabilities of the docked complexes were observed in the four selected complexes of XynB-xylotriose, XynB-xylotetraose, Xyl3-xylobiose, and Xyn3-xylotriose by MD simulations. This study showed that the interactions of these four complexes are stable, which means they have complex metabolic activities among each other. Extending these studies of understanding, the interaction between specific probiotics enzymes and their ligands can explore the detailed design of synbiotics in the future.

Molecular characterization of hypothetical scaffolding-like protein S1 in multienzyme complex produced by Paenibacillus curdlanolyticus B-6. AMB Express 2019; 9:171. [PMID: 31673804 PMCID: PMC6823336 DOI: 10.1186/s13568-019-0896-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/08/2019] [Accepted: 10/15/2019] [Indexed: 11/24/2022] Open
Abstract
Paenibacillus curdlanolyticus B-6 produces an extracellular multienzyme complex containing a hypothetical scaffolding-like protein and several xylanases and cellulases. The largest (280-kDa) component protein, called S1, has cellulose-binding ability and xylanase activity, thus was considered to function like the scaffolding proteins found in cellulosomes. S1 consists of 863 amino acid residues with predicted molecular mass 91,029 Da and includes two N-terminal surface layer homology (SLH) domains, but most of its sequence shows no homology with proteins of known function. Native S1 (nS1) was highly glycosylated. Purified nS1 and recombinant Xyn11A (rXyn11A) as a major xylanase subunit could assemble in a complex, but recombinant S1 (rS1) could not interact with rXyn11A, indicating that S1 glycosylation is necessary for assembly of the multienzyme complex. nS1 and rS1 showed weak, typical endo-xylanase activity, even though they have no homology with known glycosyl hydrolase family enzymes. S1 and its SLH domains bound tightly to the peptide-glycan layer of P. curdlanolyticus B-6, microcrystalline cellulose, and insoluble xylan, indicating that the SLHs of S1 bind to carbohydrate polymers and the cell surface. When nS1 and rXyn11A were co-incubated with birchwood xylan, the degradation ability was synergistically increased compared with that for each protein; however synergy was not observed for rS1 and rXynA. These results indicate that S1 may have a scaffolding protein-like function by interaction with enzyme subunits and polysaccharides through its glycosylated sites and SLH domains.

Chemical Pretreatment-Independent Saccharifications of Xylan and Cellulose of Rice Straw by Bacterial Weak Lignin-Binding Xylanolytic and Cellulolytic Enzymes. Appl Environ Microbiol 2017; 83:AEM.01522-17. [PMID: 28864653 DOI: 10.1128/aem.01522-17] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/11/2017] [Accepted: 08/27/2017] [Indexed: 12/14/2022] Open
Abstract
Complete utilization of carbohydrate fractions is one of the prerequisites for obtaining economically favorable lignocellulosic biomass conversion. This study shows that xylan in untreated rice straw was saccharified to xylose in one step without chemical pretreatment, yielding 58.2% of the theoretically maximum value by Paenibacillus curdlanolyticus B-6 PcAxy43A, a weak lignin-binding trifunctional xylanolytic enzyme, endoxylanase/β-xylosidase/arabinoxylan arabinofuranohydrolase. Moreover, xylose yield from untreated rice straw was enhanced to 78.9% by adding endoxylanases PcXyn10C and PcXyn11A from the same bacterium, resulting in improvement of cellulose accessibility to cellulolytic enzyme. After autoclaving the xylanolytic enzyme-treated rice straw, it was subjected to subsequent saccharification by a combination of the Clostridium thermocellum endoglucanase CtCel9R and Thermoanaerobacter brockii β-glucosidase TbCglT, yielding 88.5% of the maximum glucose yield, which was higher than the glucose yield obtained from ammonia-treated rice straw saccharification (59.6%). Moreover, this work presents a new environment-friendly xylanolytic enzyme pretreatment for beneficial hydrolysis of xylan in various agricultural residues, such as rice straw and corn hull. It not only could improve cellulose saccharification but also produced xylose, leading to an improvement of the overall fermentable sugar yields without chemical pretreatment.IMPORTANCE Ongoing research is focused on improving "green" pretreatment technologies in order to reduce energy demands and environmental impact and to develop an economically feasible biorefinery. The present study showed that PcAxy43A, a weak lignin-binding trifunctional xylanolytic enzyme, endoxylanase/β-xylosidase/arabinoxylan arabinofuranohydrolase from P. curdlanolyticus B-6, was capable of conversion of xylan in lignocellulosic biomass such as untreated rice straw to xylose in one step without chemical pretreatment. It demonstrates efficient synergism with endoxylanases PcXyn10C and PcXyn11A to depolymerize xylan in untreated rice straw and enhanced the xylose production and improved cellulose hydrolysis. Therefore, it can be considered an enzymatic pretreatment. Furthermore, the studies here show that glucose yield released from steam- and xylanolytic enzyme-treated rice straw by the combination of CtCel9R and TbCglT was higher than the glucose yield obtained from ammonia-treated rice straw saccharification. This work presents a novel environment-friendly xylanolytic enzyme pretreatment not only as a green pretreatment but also as an economically feasible biorefinery method.
