[PMID: 38211906 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.129315] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/17/2023] [Revised: 12/27/2023] [Accepted: 01/05/2024] [Indexed: 01/13/2024]
Abstract
Cyclodextrin glycosyltransferase (CGTase) is a significant extracellular enzyme with diverse functions. CGTase is widely used in production of cyclic α-(1,4)-linked oligosaccharides (cyclodextrins) from starch via transglycosylation reaction. Recent discoveries of novel CGTases from different microorganisms have expanded its applications but natural CGTase have lower yield, leading to heterologous expression for increased production to meet various needs. Moreover, significant advancements in directed evolution approach have been explored to alter the molecular structure of CGTase to enhance its performance. This review comprehensively summarizes the strategies employed in heterologous expression to boost CGTase production and secretion in various host. It also outlines molecular engineering approaches aimed to improving CGTase properties, including product and substrate specificity, catalytic efficiency, and thermal stability. Additionally, a considerable stability against changes in temperature and organic solvents can be obtained by immobilization.

Appl Microbiol Biotechnol 2023:10.1007/s00253-023-12628-8. [PMID: 37335363 DOI: 10.1007/s00253-023-12628-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/14/2023] [Revised: 05/31/2023] [Accepted: 06/07/2023] [Indexed: 06/21/2023]
Abstract
α-Monoglucosyl hesperidin is a promising food additive with various activities. However, there are a few reports about the production of α-monoglucosyl hesperidin. Here, to develop a practical and safe process for α-monoglucosyl hesperidin synthesis, we used nonpathogenic Bacillus subtilis as a host to express cyclodextrin glucanotransferase (CGTase) from Bacillus sp. A2-5a. The promoters and signal peptides were screened to optimize the transcription and secretion of CGTase in B. subtilis. The results of optimization showed that the best signal peptide and promoter were YdjM and PaprE, respectively. Finally, the enzyme activity increased to 46.5 U mL-1, 8.7 times that of the enzyme expressed from the strain containing pPHpaII-LipA, and the highest yield of α-monoglucosyl hesperidin was 2.70 g L-1 by enzymatic synthesis using the supernatant of the recombinant B. subtilis WB800 harboring the plasmid pPaprE-YdjM. This is the highest α-monoglucosyl hesperidin production level using recombinant CGTase to date. This work provides a generally applicable method for the scaled-up production of α-monoglucosyl hesperidin. KEY POINTS: • A three-step procedure was created for high throughput signal peptide screening. • YdjM and PaprE were screened from 173 signal peptides and 13 promoters. • α-Monoglucosyl hesperidin was synthesized by CGTase with a yield of 2.70 g L-1.

Abstract
In this paper, the cgt gene encoding cyclodextrin glycosyltransferase (CGTase) from Bacillus stearothermophilus was cloned into pWB980 plasmid for extracellular expression in Bacillus subtilis SCK6. Through adding a six-histidine affinity tag fused to the C-terminus, the recombinant CGTase could be purified by nickel ion affinity chromatography, and its molecular weight was approximately 76 kDa on SDS-PAGE. Then, the enzymatic properties were determined, and results were as follows: the optimum temperature and pH were identified as 40 ℃ and pH 5.0, respectively. CGTase had good tolerance to metal ions of Mn2+, Ca2+, and Mg2+. The enzyme activity was activated by Na+, Al3+, Fe3+, and Ni+, and it was remarkably inhibited by Cu2+ and Zn2+. To improve the aqueous solubility of rutin, CGTase was used to catalyze the transglycosylation reaction, and the conversion rate could reach as high as 80.13% under optimal conditions. Furthermore, the reaction mixture was treated with glucoamylase and microporous adsorbent resin. The yield of glycosyl-rutin was 56.1%, and its purity was 74.3%, which further improved the value of the product.

Abstract
Background Newcastle disease virus (NDV) belongs to the genus Avaluvirus and Paramyxoviridae family, and it can cause acute, highly contagious Newcastle disease in poultry. The two proteins, haemagglutinin neuraminidase (HN) and Fusion (F), are the main virulence factor of the virus and play an essential role in immunogenicity against the virus. In most paramyxoviruses, the F protein requires HN protein to fuse the membrane, and HN proteins substantially enhance the viruses’ fusion activity. Results The present study describes the successful cloning and expression of HN protein from NDV in Bacillus subtilis WB800 using the modified shuttle vector pHT43. HN coding sequence was cloned into the pGet II vector. It was then subcloned into the PHT43 shuttle vector and transferred to Escherichia coli for replication. The recombinant plasmid was extracted from E. coli and used to transform B. subtilis by electroporation. After induction of recombinant B. subtilis by IPTG, total cell protein and the protein secreted into the media were analysed through a time course using SDS-PAGE. The expressed HN protein was purified using cation exchange chromatography followed by metal affinity chromatography, using the 6× His epitope introduced at the carboxyl terminus of the recombinant protein. The accuracy of the PHT43-HN construct was confirmed by sequencing and enzymatic digestion. SDS-PAGE results showed that the recombinant HN protein was successfully expressed and secreted into the medium. Moreover, the purified HN protein showed neuraminidase activity with characteristics similar to the indigenous HN NDV protein. B. subtilis is a free endotoxin host that could be a favourite prokaryotic platform for producing the recombinant HN protein. Conclusion The establishment of this expression and purification system has allowed us to explore further the biochemical characteristics of HN protein and obtain material that could be suitable for a new production of NDV candidate vaccine with high immunogenicity.

Abstract
4α-Glucanotransferase (4α-GTase) is unique in its ability to form cyclic oligosaccharides, some of which are of industrial importance. Generally, low amount of enzymes is produced by or isolated from their natural sources: animals, plants, and microorganisms. Heterologous expressions of these enzymes, in an attempt to increase their production for applicable uses, have been widely studied since 1980s; however, the expressions are mostly performed in the prokaryotic bacteria, mostly Escherichia coli. Site-directed mutagenesis has added more value to these expressed enzymes to display the desired properties beneficial for their applications. The search for further suitable properties for food application leads to an extended research in expression by another group of host organism, the generally-recognized as safe host including the Bacillus and the eukaryotic yeast systems. Herein, our review focuses on two types of 4α-GTase: the cyclodextrin glycosyltransferase and amylomaltase. The updated studies on the general structure and properties of the two enzymes with emphasis on heterologous expression, mutagenesis for property improvement, and their industrial applications are provided.

Abstract
Bacillus subtilis is a well-characterized Gram-positive bacterium and a valuable host for recombinant protein production because of its efficient secretion ability, high yield, and non-toxicity. Here, we comprehensively review the recent studies on recombinant protein production in B. subtilis to update and supplement other previous reviews. We have focused on several aspects, including optimization of B. subtilis strains, enhancement and regulation of expression, improvement of secretion level, surface display of proteins, and fermentation optimization. Among them, optimization of B. subtilis strains mainly involves undirected chemical/physical mutagenesis and selection and genetic manipulation; enhancement and regulation of expression comprises autonomous plasmid and integrated expression, promoter regulation and engineering, and fine-tuning gene expression based on proteases and molecular chaperones; improvement of secretion level predominantly involves secretion pathway and signal peptide screening and optimization; surface display of proteins includes surface display of proteins on spores or vegetative cells; and fermentation optimization incorporates medium optimization, process condition optimization, and feeding strategy optimization. Furthermore, we propose some novel methods and future challenges for recombinant protein production in B. subtilis.Key points• A comprehensive review on recombinant protein production in Bacillus subtilis.• Novel techniques facilitate recombinant protein expression and secretion.• Surface display of proteins has significant potential for different applications.

Abstract
Bacillus stearothermophilus α/β-cyclodextrin glycosyltransferase (α/β-CGTase) is an excellent transglycosylase with broad potential for food application, but its expression level is low in Bacillus subtilis. In this study, the optimal signal peptide for α/β-CGTase expression was screened from 173 signal peptides in B. subtilis WS11. The α/β-CGTase activity in a 3-L fermentor reached 151.93 U⋅ mL-1, but substantial amounts of inclusion bodies were produced. The N-terminal 12 amino acids of α/β-CGTase were then replaced with the N-terminal 15 amino acids of a β-CGTase from the same family that has a high percentage of disorder-promoting amino acids. As a result, the inclusion bodies were significantly reduced, and the enzyme activity increased to 249.35 U mL-1, 2.3 times that of the strain constructed previously. Finally, the ppsE and sfp genes of B. subtilis WS11, which are related to lipopeptide biosurfactant synthesis, were knocked out to produce B. subtilis WS13. When B. subtilis WS13 was used to produce α/β-CGTase in a 3-L fermentor, 70 % less defoaming agent was required than with B. subtilis WS11. Furthermore, enzyme production and growth of WS13 were equivalent to those of WS11. This study is of great significance for future research to efficiently scale-up production of α/β-CGTase.

Abstract
The capacity of different Bacillus species to produce large amounts of extracellular enzymes and ability to ferment various substrates at a wide range of pH and temperature has placed them among the most promising hosts for the industrial production of many improved and novel products. The global interest in prebiotics, for example, xylooligosaccharides (XOs) is ever increasing, rousing the quest for various forms with expanded productivity. This article provides an overview of xylanase producing bacilli, with more emphasis on their capacity to be used in the production of the XOs, followed by the purification strategies, characteristics and application of XOs from bacilli. The large-scale production of XOs is carried out from a number of xylan-rich lignocellulosic materials by chemical or enzymatic hydrolysis followed by purification through chromatography, vacuum evaporation, solvent extraction or membrane separation methods. Utilization of XOs in the production of functional products as food ingredients brings well-being to individuals by improving defense system and eliminating pathogens. In addition to the effects related to health, a variety of other biological impacts have also been discussed.

Abstract
Verticillium wilt is a plant vascular disease caused by the soilborne fungus Verticillium dahliae that severely limits cotton production. In a previous study, we screened Bacillus cereus YUPP-10, an efficient antagonistic bacterium, to uncover mechanisms for controlling verticillium wilt. Here, we report a novel antimicrobial cyclodextrin glycosyltransferase (CGTase) from YUPP-10. Compared to other CGTases, six different conserved domains were identified, and six mutants were constructed by gene splicing with overlap extension PCR. Functional analysis showed that domain D was important for hydrolysis activity and domains A1 and C were important for inducing disease resistance. Direct effects of recombinant CGTase on V. dahliae included reduced mycelial growth, spore germination, spore production, and microsclerotia germination. In addition, CGTase also elicited cotton's innate defence reactions. Transgenic Arabidopsis thaliana lines that overexpress CGTase showed higher resistance to verticillium wilt. Transgenic CGTase A. thaliana plants grew faster and resisted disease better. CGTase overexpression enabled a burst of reactive oxygen species production and activated pathogenesis-related gene expression, indicating that the transgenic cotton was better prepared to protect itself from infection. Our work revealed that CGTase could inhibit the growth of V. dahliae, activate innate immunity, and play a major role in the biocontrol of fungal pathogens.

Abstract
PR-FO is a novel α-helical hybrid antimicrobial peptide (AMP) with strong antimicrobial activities and high stability, and the potential to develop into a new generation of antimicrobial agents. In this study, the encoded gene sequence of SMT3-PR-FO was designed and transformed into B. subtilis WB800N. Fusion proteins with concentrations of 16 mg L-1 (SPamyQ) and 23 mg L-1 (SPsacB) were obtained after purification by a Ni-NTA resin column. A total of 3 mg (SPamyQ) and 4 mg (SPsacB) of PR-FO with a purity of 90% was obtained from 1 L fermentation cultures. Recombinant PR-FO exhibited high inhibition activities against both gram-negative bacteria and gram-positive bacteria, and low haemolytic activity against human red blood cells. These results indicated that the rSMT3-PR-FO could be expressed under the guidance of SPamyQ and SPsacB, and the maltose-induced expression strategy might be a safe and efficient method for the soluble peptides production in B. subtilis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Mesophilic α-amylases function effectively at low temperatures with high rates of catalysis and require less energy for starch hydrolysis. Bacillus amyloliquefaciens is an essential producer of mesophilic α-amylases. However, because of the existence of the restriction-modification system, introducing exogenous DNAs into wild-type B. amyloliquefaciens is especially tricky. RESULTS α-Amylase producer B. amyloliquefaciens strain Z3 was screened and used as host for endogenous α-amylase gene expression. In vitro methylation was performed in recombinant plasmid pWB980-amyZ3. With the in vitro methylation, the transformation efficiency was increased to 0.96 × 102 colony-forming units μg-1 plasmid DNA. A positive transformant BAZ3-16 with the highest α-amylase secreting capacity was chosen for further experiments. The α-amylase activity of strain BAZ3-16 reached 288.70 ± 16.15 U mL-1 in the flask and 386.03 ± 16.25 U mL-1 in the 5-L stirred-tank fermenter, respectively. The Bacillus amyloliquefaciens Z3 expression system shows excellent genetic stability and high-level extracellular production of the target protein. Moreover, the synergistic interaction of AmyZ3 with amyloglucosidase was determined during the hydrolysis of raw starch. The hydrolysis degree reached 92.34 ± 3.41% for 100 g L-1 raw corn starch and 81.30 ± 2.92% for 100 g L-1 raw cassava starch after 24 h, respectively. CONCLUSION Methylation of the plasmid DNA removes a substantial barrier for transformation of B. amyloliquefaciens strain Z3. Furthermore, the exceptional ability to hydrolyze starch makes α-amylase AmyZ3 and strain BAZ3-16 valuable in the starch industry. © 2020 Society of Chemical Industry.
