Abstract
The growing preference for incorporating microbial aspartic proteases in industries is due to their high catalytic function and high degree of substrate selectivity. These properties, however, are attributable to molecular alterations in their structure and a variety of other characteristics. Molecular tools, functional genomics, and genome editing technologies coupled with other biotechnological approaches have aided in improving the potential of industrially important microbial proteases by addressing some of their major limitations, such as: low catalytic efficiency, low conversion rates, low thermostability, and less enzyme yield. However, the native folding within their full domain is dependent on a surrounding structure which challenges their functionality in substrate conversion, mainly due to their mutual interactions in the context of complex systems. Hence, manipulating their structure and controlling their expression systems could potentially produce enzymes with high selectivity and catalytic functions. The proteins produced by microbial aspartic proteases are industrially capable and far-reaching in regulating certain harmful distinctive industrial processes and the benefits of being eco-friendly. This review provides: an update on current trends and gaps in microbial protease biotechnology, exploring the relevant recombinant strategies and molecular technologies widely used in expression platforms for engineering microbial aspartic proteases, as well as their potential industrial and biotechnological applications.

Abstract
Nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) has garnered substantial interest as a functional food product. Industrial NMN production relies on chemical methods, facing challenges in separation, purification, and regulatory complexities, leading to elevated prices. In contrast, NMN biosynthesis through fermentation or enzyme catalysis offers notable benefits like eco-friendliness, recyclability, and efficiency, positioning it as a primary avenue for future NMN synthesis. Enzymatic NMN synthesis encompasses the nicotinamide-initial route and nicotinamide ribose-initial routes. Key among these is nicotinamide riboside kinase (NRK), pivotal in the latter route. The NRK-mediated biosynthesis is emerging as a prominent trend due to its streamlined route, simplicity, and precise specificity. The essential aspect is to obtain an engineered NRK that exhibits elevated activity and robust stability. This review comprehensively assesses diverse NMN synthesis methods, offering valuable insights into efficient, sustainable, and economical production routes. It spotlights the emerging NRK-mediated biosynthesis pathway and its significance. The establishment of an adenosine triphosphate (ATP) regeneration system plays a pivotal role in enhancing NMN synthesis efficiency through NRK-catalyzed routes. The review aims to be a reference for researchers developing green and sustainable NMN synthesis, as well as those optimizing NMN production.

Abstract
L-Asparagine, a crucial amino acid widely used in both food and medicine, presents pollution-related and side reaction challenges when prepared using chemical synthesis method. Although biotransformation methods offer significant advantages such as high efficiency and mild reaction conditions, they also entail increased costs due to the need for ATP supplementation. This study aimed to address the challenges associated with biopreparation of L-asparagine. Firstly, the functionality and characteristics of recombinant L-asparagine synthetase enzymes derived from Escherichia coli and Lactobacillus salivarius were evaluated to determine their practical applicability. Subsequently, recombinant expression of polyphosphate kinase from Erysipelotrichaceae bacterium was conducted. A reaction system for L-asparagine synthesis was established using a dual enzyme-coupled conversion approach. Under the optimal reaction conditions, a maximum yield of 11.67 g/L of L-asparagine was achieved, with an 88.43% conversion rate, representing a 5.03-fold increase compared to the initial conversion conditions. Notably, the initial addition of ATP was reduced to only 5.66% of the theoretical demand, indicating the effectiveness of our ATP regeneration system. These findings highlight the potential of our approach in enhancing the efficiency of L-asparagine preparation, offering promising prospects for the food and medical industries.

Abstract
IMPORTANCE The adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP) regeneration system can significantly reduce the cost of many biocatalytic processes. Numerous studies have endeavored to utilize the ATP regeneration system based on Cytophaga hutchinsonii PPK (ChPPK). However, the wild-type ChPPK enzyme possesses limitations such as low enzymatic activity, poor stability, and limited substrate tolerance, impeding its application in catalytic reactions. To enhance the performance of ChPPK, we employed a semi-rational design approach to obtain the variant ChPPK/A79G/S106C/I108F/L285P. The enzymatic kinetic parameters and the catalytic performance in the synthesis of nicotinamide mononucleotide demonstrated that the variant ChPPK/A79G/S106C/I108F/L285P exhibited superior enzymatic properties than the wild-type enzyme. All data indicated that our engineered ATP regeneration system holds inherent potential for implementation in biocatalytic processes.

Abstract
The multi-enzyme coupling reaction system has become a promising biomanufacturing platform for biochemical production. Tyr is an essential amino acid, but the limited solubility restricts its use. Tyrosyl dipeptide has been paid more attention due to its higher solubility. In this study, an efficient enzymatic cascade of Ala-Tyr synthesis was developed by a L-amino acid ligase together with polyphosphate kinase (PPK). Two L-amino acid ligases from Bacillus subtilis and Bacillus pumilus were selected and applied for Ala-Tyr synthesis. The L-amino acid ligase from B. subtilis (Bs) was selected and coupled with the PPK from Sulfurovum lithotrophicum (PPKSL) for regenerating ATP to produce Ala-Tyr in one pot. In the optimization system, 40.1 mM Ala-Tyr was produced within 3 h due to efficient ATP regeneration with hexametaphosphate (PolyP(6)) as the phosphate donor. The molar yield was 0.89 mol/mol based on the substrates added, while the productivity of Ala-Tyr achieved 13.4 mM/h, which were the highest yield and productivity ever reported about Ala-Tyr synthesis with L-amino acid ligase.

Abstract
Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) acts as a crucial energy currency in vivo, and it is a widely used energy and/or phosphate donor for enzyme-catalyzed reactions in vitro. In this study, we established an in vitro multi-enzyme cascade system for ATP production. Using adenosine and inorganic polyphosphate (polyP) as key substrates, we combined adenosine kinase and two functionally distinct polyphosphate kinases (PPKs) in a one-pot reaction to achieve chain-like ATP regeneration and production. Several sources of PPK were screened and characterized, and two suitable PPKs were selected to achieve high rates of ATP production. Among these, Sulfurovum lithotrophicum PPK (SlPPK) exhibited excellent activity over a wide pH range (pH 4.0-9.0) and synthesized ATP from ADP using short-chain polyP. Furthermore, it had a half-life > 155.6 h at 45 °C. After optimizing the reaction conditions, we finally carried out the coupling-catalyzed reaction with different initial adenosine concentrations of 10, 20, and 30 mM. The highest yields of ATP were 76.0, 70.5, and 61.3%, respectively.

Abstract
Adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the universal energy currency of life, has a central role in numerous biochemical reactions with potential for the synthesis of numerous high-value products. ATP can be regenerated by three types of mechanisms: substrate level phosphorylation, oxidative phosphorylation, and photophosphorylation. Current ATP regeneration methods are mainly based on substrate level phosphorylation catalyzed by one enzyme, several cascade enzymes, or in vitro synthetic enzymatic pathways. Among them, polyphosphate kinases and acetate kinase, along with their respective phosphate donors, are the most popular approaches for in vitro ATP regeneration. For in vitro artificial pathways, either ATP-free or ATP-balancing strategies can be implemented via smart pathway design by choosing ATP-independent enzymes. Also, we discuss some remaining challenges and suggest perspectives, especially for industrial biomanufacturing. Development of ATP regeneration systems featuring low cost, high volumetric productivity, long lifetime, flexible compatibility, and great robustness could be one of the bottom-up strategies for cascade biocatalysis and in vitro synthetic biology.

Abstract
In this research article, we reported a self-assembly approach to prepare a copper polyphosphate kinase 2 hybrid nanoflower and established a cofactor ADP regeneration system from AMP using the nanoflower. First, the structure of the hybrid nanoflower was confirmed by scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, which indicated the successful loading of the enzyme in the hybrid nanoflower. Moreover, compared to the free enzyme, the hybrid nanoflower exhibited a better performance in ADP production and possessed wider catalytic pH and temperature ranges as well as improved storage stability. The hybrid nanoflower also exhibited well reusability, preserving 71.7% of initial activity after being used for ten cycles. In addition, the phosphorylation of glucose was conducted by utilizing ADP-dependent glucokinase coupled with the ADP regeneration system, in which the hybrid nanoflower was used for regenerating ADP from AMP. It was observed that the ADP regeneration system operated effectively at a very small amount of AMP. Thus, the hybrid nanoflower had great application potential in industrial catalytic processes that were coupled with ADP-dependent enzymes.

Abstract
Enzymes used for adenosine triphosphate (ATP) synthesis play important roles in energy-dependent cascade reactions in vitro. In this study, two novel polyphosphate kinase 2 (PPK2) enzymes, HbPPK2 from Hydrogenophilaceae bacterium and NdPPK2 from Nocardioides dokdonensis, were characterized for ATP synthesis with the substrate polyphosphate (polyP). The optimum temperature and pH of both purified HbPPK2 and NdPPK2 were 30 °C and 6.5. HbPPK2 and NdPPK2 retained 30% and 14% of the initial activity at 30 °C for 12 h, respectively, whereas the presence of polyP significantly enhanced the stability of enzymes. The two PPK2s preferentially catalyzed the long-chain polyP hexametaphosphate as the phosphate donor. Adenosine monophosphate could not be used by HbPPK2 and NdPPK2 to synthesize ATP, indicating that they belonged to the class I subfamily of PPK2. HbPPK2 was used for ATP regeneration to produce glutathione by a two-enzyme cascade in vitro. 47.1 ± 0.4 mM glutathione was synthesized with a productivity of 13.5 ± 0.1 mM/h. ATP was regenerated approximately 471 times in the system within 3.5 h. HbPPK2 showed potential application for ATP regeneration in cascade reaction.

Co-factor demand and regeneration in the enzymatic one-step reduction of carboxylates to aldehydes in cell-free systems. J Biotechnol 2019; 307:202-207. [PMID: 31672531 DOI: 10.1016/j.jbiotec.2019.10.016] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/30/2019] [Revised: 10/24/2019] [Accepted: 10/24/2019] [Indexed: 11/20/2022]
Abstract
Addressing the challenges associated with the development of in vitro biocatalytic carboxylate reductions for potential applications, important aspects of the co-factor regeneration systems and strategies for minimizing over-reduction were investigated. The ATP recycling can be performed with similarly high efficiency exploiting the polyphosphate source by combining Meiothermus ruber polyphosphate kinase and adenylate kinase or with Sinorhizobium meliloti polyphosphate kinase instead of the latter. Carboxylate reductions with the enzyme candidates used in this work allow operating at co-factor concentrations of adenosine 5'-triphosphate and β-nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide 2'-phosphate of 100 μM and, thereby, reducing the amounts of alcohols formed by side activities in the enzyme preparations. This study confirmed the expected benefits of carboxylic acid reductases in chemoselectively reducing the carboxylates to the corresponding aldehydes while leaving reductively-sensitive nitro, ester and cyano groups intact.
