Abstract
Biotechnological processes are essential for producing climate-friendly high-value chemicals or pharmaceutical compounds, which can include steps catalyzed by enzymes. Therefore, establishing new, robust, and cheap enzyme production processes is desirable. One possible way to enhance processes is through the use of the spore display method. Spore display can present heterologous proteins on the surface of bacterial spores, offering numerous advantages in a range of biotechnological applications. This study demonstrates the implementation of the spore display method in Paenibacillus polymyxa, achieved by modifying the spore surface, incorporating an anchoring protein, and attaching green fluorescent protein to it, allowing the visualization of fluorescent spores. Following the initial experiment, a native lipase (Lip3), a heterologous lipase (LipA) from Bacillus subtilis, a native esterase (PnbA) from P. polymyxa, and a lipoyl synthase were expressed during sporulation and displayed on the spore surface. The activity profiles were determined in the temperature range from 4 °C to 70 °C. The PnbA reached its optimum at 4 °C, whereas the LipA from B. subtilis showed 4.4-fold higher activity at 42 °C compared to the control. Furthermore, we explored a possible new technique for the purification of enzymes with the TEV cleavage site between the anchor and the protein of interest. Finally, we showed a not-yet-described side activity of the lipoyl synthase over a wide temperature range.

Abstract
The novel cold-adapted lipase (Lip ZC12) derived from Psychrobacter sp. ZY124 exhibited higher catalytic activity at 20-40 °C, the whole gene was then sequenced, analyzed, and overexpressed. However, its intrinsic structural characteristics lead to a decreased affinity toward the substrate, thus limiting the improvement of catalytic efficiency. Modeling the homologous structure and simulating the binding process of Lip ZC12 with the substrate. It was found that truncated lid (lip-Δlid) could not only increase the kcat, but also significantly enhance the substrate affinity, the substrate affinity and catalytic efficiency of Lip ZC12 modified by lid truncation were significantly improved. The results revealed that the kcat/Km value of lip-Δlid was 1.6 times higher than that of free lipase. This improved catalytic performance of cold-adapted lipase, and these findings laid an important foundation for further application.

Abstract
Lipase has great application potential in hydrolyzing residual yolk lipid in egg white liquid to restore its functional properties. In this study, a lipase gene from Bacillus subtilis was expressed in E. coli BL21 (DE3) and named Lip-IM. Results showed that although Lip-IM has stronger specificity for medium- and short-chain substrates than long-chain substrates (C16, C18), due to its excellent enzyme activity, it also has strong hydrolysis activity for long-chain substrates and maintained over 80% activity at 4-20 °C, but significantly reduced when the temperature exceeds 40 °C. The addition of 0.5% Lip-IM enhanced foaming ability by 26% (from 475 to 501%) and reduced liquid precipitation rate by 9% (from 57 to 48%). Furthermore, molecular dynamics (MD) simulations were run to investigate the conformational stability of Lip-IM at different temperatures. Results showed that Lip-IM maintained a stable conformation within the temperature range of 277-303 K. Fluctuations in the flexible area and backbone movement of proteins were identified as the main reasons for its poor thermal stability.

Abstract
Microbial lipases are very prominent biocatalysts because of their ability to catalyze a wide variety of reactions in aqueous and non-aqueous media. Here microbial lipases from different origins (psychrophiles, mesophiles, and thermophiles) have been reviewed. This review emphasizes an update of structural diversity in temperature adaptation and industrial applications, of psychrophilic, mesophilic, and thermophilic lipases. The microbial origins of lipases are logically dynamic, proficient, and also have an extensive range of industrial uses with the manufacturing of altered molecules. It is therefore of interest to understand the molecular mechanisms of adaptation to temperature in occurring lipases. However, lipases from extremophiles (psychrophiles, and thermophiles) are widely used to design biotransformation reactions with higher yields, fewer byproducts, or useful side products and have been predicted to catalyze those reactions also, which otherwise are not possible with the mesophilic lipases. Lipases as a multipurpose biological catalyst have given a favorable vision in meeting the needs of several industries such as biodiesel, foods, and drinks, leather, textile, detergents, pharmaceuticals, and medicals.

Abstract
Cold environments characterised by diverse temperatures close to or below the water freezing point dominate about 80% of the Earth's biosphere. One of the survival strategies adopted by microorganisms living in cold environments is their expression of cold-active enzymes that enable them to perform an efficient metabolic flux at low temperatures necessary to thrive and reproduce under those constraints. Cold-active enzymes are ideal biocatalysts that can reduce the need for heating procedures and improve industrial processes' quality, sustainability, and cost-effectiveness. Despite their wide applications, their industrial usage is still limited, and the major contributing factor is the lack of complete understanding of their structure and cold adaptation mechanisms. The current review looked at the recombinant overexpression, purification, and recent mechanism of cold adaptation, various approaches for purification, and three-dimensional (3D) crystal structure elucidation of cold-active lipases and esterase.

Functional and molecular characterization of a cold-active lipase from Psychrobacter celer PU3 with potential a*ntibiofilm property. Int J Biol Macromol 2022; 211:741-753. [PMID: 35504418 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2022.04.174] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/07/2022] [Revised: 04/07/2022] [Accepted: 04/24/2022] [Indexed: 11/05/2022]
Abstract
The lipase gene from Psychrobacter celer PU3 was cloned into pET-28a(+) expression vector and overexpressed in E. coli BL21 (DE3) pLysS cells. The purified Psychrobacter celer lipase (PCL) was characterized as an alkaline active enzyme and has a molecular mass of around 30 kDa. The PCL was active even at a low temperature and the optimum range was observed between 10 and 40 °C temperatures. MALDI-TOF and phylogenetic analysis ensued that Psychrobacter celer PU3 lipase (PCL) was closely related to P. aureginosa lipase (PAL). MD simulation results suggests that temperature change did not affect overall structure of PCL, but it may alter temperature- dependent PCL structural changes. R1 (129-135 AA) and R2 (187-191 AA) regions could be important for temperature-dependent PCL function as they fluctuate much at 35 °C temperature. PMSF completely inhibited PCL lipase activity and it demonstrates the presence of serine residues in the active site of PCL. PCL is moderately halophilic and most of the tested organic solvents found to be inhibiting the lipase activity except the solvents ethanol and methanol. PCL activity was increased with surfactants (SDS and CTAB) and bleaching agents (hydrogen peroxide). The effect of different metal ions on PCL resulted that only mercuric chloride was found as the enhancer of the lipase activity. Antibiofilm property of PCL was evaluated against pathogenic Vibrio parahaemolyticus isolated from the diseased shrimp and MIC value was 500 U. PCL significantly altered the morphology and biofilm density of V. parahaemolyticus and the same was observed through scanning electron microscope (SEM) and confocal laser scanning microscope (CLSM) imaging. RT-PCR analysis revealed that the mRNA expression level of biofilm, colony morphology and major toxin-related (aphA, luxS, opaR, tolC, toxR) genes of V. parahaemolyticus were significantly downregulated with PCL treatment.

Abstract
Esterases represent an important class of enzymes with a wide variety of industrial applications. A novel hormone-sensitive lipase (HSL) family esterase, Est19, from the Antarctic bacterium Pseudomonas sp. E2-15 is identified, cloned, and expressed. The enzyme possesses a GESAG motif containing an active serine (S) located within a highly conserved catalytic triad of Ser155, Asp253, and His282 residues. The catalytic efficiency (kcat/Km) of Est19 for the pNPC6 substrate is 148.68 s-1mM-1 at 40 °C. Replacing Glu154 juxtaposed to the critical catalytic serine with Asp (E154→D substitution) reduced the activity and catalytic efficiency of the enzyme two-fold, with little change in the substrate affinity. The wild-type enzyme retained near complete activity over a temperature range of 10-60 °C, while ~50% of its activity was retained at 0 °C. A phylogenetic analysis suggested that Est19 and its homologs may represent a new subfamily of HSL. The thermal stability and stereo-specificity suggest that the Est19 esterase may be useful for cold and chiral catalyses.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Cold-active lipases which show high specific activity at low temperatures are attractive in industrial applications in terms of product stability and energy saving. We aimed to identify novel cold-active lipase suitable for oleates synthesis and bread making. RESULTS A novel lipase gene (RmLipA) from Rhizopus microsporus was cloned and heterologously expressed in Pichia pastoris. The encoding sequence displayed 75% identity to the lipase from R. niveus. The highest extracellular lipase activity of 7931 U/mL was achieved in a 5-L fermentation. The recombinant enzyme (RmLipA) was optimally active at pH 8.0 and 20-25 °C, respectively, and stable over a wide pH range of 2.0-11.0. The enzyme was a cold-active lipase, exhibiting > 80% of its maximal activity at 0 °C. RmLipA was a sn-1,3 regioselective lipase, and preferred to hydrolyze pNP esters and triglycerides with relatively long chain fatty acids. RmLipA synthesized various oleates using oleic acid and different alcohols as substrates (> 95%). Moreover, it significantly improved the quality of bread by increasing its specific volume (21.7%) and decreasing its crumb firmness (28.6%). CONCLUSIONS A novel cold-active lipase gene from R. microsporus was identified, and its application potentials were evaluated. RmLipA should be a potential candidate in oleates synthesis and bread making industries.

Abstract
Searching for novel enzymes that could be active in organic solvents has become an area of interest in recent years. Olive brine naturally provides a suitable environment for the survival of halophilic and acidophilic microorganisms and the resulting genome is thought to be a gene source for determining the halophilic and acidophilic proteins that are active in a non-aqueous organic solvent medium, and so it has been used in several biotechnological and industrial applications. In this study, microbial analysis of natural, cracked green olive brine from the southern region of Turkey has been made by next-generation sequencing of the brine metagenome for the first time in the literature. The number of reads assigned to fungal operational taxonomic units was the highest percentage (73.04%) with the dominant representation of Ascomycota phylum (99% of fungi). Bacterial OTU was 3.56% of the reads and Proteobacteria phylum was 65% of the reads. The lipase production capacity of the yeasts that were grown on the media containing elevated concentrations of NaCl (1-3 M) was determined on a Rhodamine B-including medium. Molecular identification of the selected yeasts was performed and 90% of sequenced yeasts had a high level of similarity with Candida diddensiae, whereas 10% showed similarity to Candida boidinii. The hydrolytic lipase activities using olive oil were analyzed and both yeasts showed cell-bound lipase activity at pH 3.0.

Abstract
Although Psychrobacter strain M9-54-1 had been previously isolated from the microbiota of holothurians and shown to degrade quorum sensing (QS) signal molecules C6 and C10-homoserine lactone (HSL), little was known about the gene responsible for this activity. In this study, we determined the whole genome sequence of this strain and found that the full 16S rRNA sequence shares 99.78-99.66% identity with Psychrobacter pulmonis CECT 5989T and P. faecalis ISO-46T. M9-54-1, evaluated using the agar well diffusion assay method, showed high quorum quenching (QQ) activity against a wide range of synthetic N-acylhomoserine lactone (AHLs) at 4, 15, and 28 °C. High-performance liquid chromatography-mass-spectrometry (HPLC-MS) confirmed that QQ activity was due to an AHL-acylase. The gene encoding for QQ activity in strain M9-54-1 was identified from its genome sequence whose gene product was named AhaP. Purified AhaP degraded substituted and unsubstituted AHLs from C4- to C14-HSL. Furthermore, heterologous expression of ahaP in the opportunistic pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1 reduced the expression of the QS-controlled gene lecA, encoding for a cytotoxic galactophilic lectin and swarming motility protein. Strain M9-54-1 also reduced brine shrimp mortality caused by Vibrio coralliilyticus VibC-Oc-193, showing potential as a biocontrol agent in aquaculture.

Abstract
Cold-active enzymes increase their catalytic efficiency at low-temperature, introducing structural flexibility at or near the active sites. Inevitably, this feat seems to be accompanied by lower thermal stability. These characteristics have made cold-active enzymes into attractive targets for the industrial applications, since they could reduce the energy cost in the reaction, attenuate side-reactions, and simply be inactivated. In addition, the increased structural flexibility could result in broad substrate specificity for various non-native substrates, which is called substrate promiscuity. In this perspective, we deal with a less addressed aspect of cold-active enzymes, substrate promiscuity, which has enormous potential for semi-synthesis or enzymatic modification of fine chemicals and drugs. Further structural and directed-evolutional studies on substrate promiscuity of cold-active enzymes will provide a new workhorse in white biotechnology.

Abstract
Aldo-keto reductases (AKRs) mediated stereoselective reduction of prochiral carbonyl compounds is an efficient way of preparing single enantiomers of chiral alcohols due to their high chemo-, enantio-, and regio-selectivity. To date, the application of AKRs in the asymmetric synthesis of chiral alcohols has been limited, due to the challenges of cloning and purifying. In this work, the aldo-keto reductase (AKR3-2-9) from Bacillus sp. was obtained, purified and proved to be NADPH-dependent. It exhibits good bioactivity and stability at 37 °C, pH 6.0. AKR3-2-9 is catalytically active on 11 pairs of substrates such as 3-methylcyclohexanone and methyl pyruvate, among which it showed the highest catalytic activity for acetylacetone. In addition, AKR3-2-9 was able to be resistant to five common organic solvents such as methanol and ethanol, it retained high catalytic activity even in a reaction system containing 10% v/v organic solvent for 6 h, which indicates its broad substrate spectrum and exceptional organic solvent tolerance. Furthermore, its three-dimensional structure was constructed and catalytic-site-analysis of the enzyme was conducted. Notably, it was capable of catalyzing the reaction of the key intermediates of duloxetine. The extensive substrate spectrum and predominant organic solvents resistance makes AK3-2-9 a promising enzyme which can be potentially applied in medicine synthesis.

Abstract
Bacterial lipases with activity spanning over a broad temperature and substrate range have several industrial applications. An efficient enzyme-producing bacterium Chryseobacterium polytrichastri ERMR1:04, previously reported from Sikkim Himalaya, was explored for purification and characterization of cold-adapted lipase. Optimum lipase production was observed in 1% (v/v) rice bran oil, pH 7 at 20°C. Size exclusion and hydrophobic interaction chromatography purified the enzyme up to 21.3-fold predicting it to be a hexameric protein of 250 kDa, with 39.8 kDa monomeric unit. MALDI-TOF-MS analysis of the purified lipase showed maximum similarity with alpha/beta hydrolase (lipase superfamily). Biochemical characterization of the purified enzyme revealed optimum pH (8.0), temperature (37°C) and activity over a temperature range of 5–65°C. The tested metals (except Cu2+ and Fe2+) enhanced the enzyme activity and it was tolerant to 5% (v/v) methanol and isopropanol. The Km and Vmax values were determined as 0.104 mM and 3.58 U/mg, respectively for p-nitrophenyl palmitate. Bioinformatics analysis also supported in vitro findings by predicting enzyme's broad temperature and substrate specificity. The compatibility of the purified lipase with regular commercial detergents, coupled with its versatile temperature and substrate range, renders the given enzyme a promising biocatalyst for potential detergent formulations.

Abstract
Following a screening of Antarctic glacier forefield-bacteria for novel cold-active enzymes, a psychrophilic strain Psychrobacter sp. 94-6PB was selected for further characterization of enzymatic activities. The strain produced lipases and proteases in the temperature range of 4-18°C. The coding sequence of an extracellular serine-protease was then identified via comparative analysis across Psychrobacter sp. genomes, PCR-amplified in our strain 94-6PB and expressed in the heterologous host E. coli. The purified enzyme (80 kDa) resulted to be a cold-active alkaline protease, performing best at temperatures of 20-30°C and pH 7-9. It was stable in presence of common inhibitors [β-mercaptoethanol (β-ME), dithiothreitol (DTT), urea, phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride (PMSF) and ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA)] and compatible with detergents and surfactants (Tween 20, Tween 80, hydrogen peroxide and Triton X-100). Because of these properties, the P94-6PB protease may be suitable for use in a new generation of laundry products for cold washing. Furthermore, we assessed the microdiversity of this enzyme in Psychrobacter organisms from different cold habitats and found several gene clusters that correlated with specific ecological niches. We then discussed the role of habitat specialization in shaping the biodiversity of proteins and enzymes and anticipate far-reaching implications for the search of novel variants of biotechnological products.

Abstract
Raspberry ketone is a primary aroma component of the red raspberry. The glycosylation of this compound is a potential approach used to improve its pharmaceutical properties. In this work, raspberry ketone glycosides are produced in bacteria for the first time. Bacillus licheniformis PI15, an organic solvent-tolerant glycosyltransferase-producing strain, was isolated from chemically polluted soil. The cloning and heterologous expression of a glycosyltransferase, which was designated PI-GT1, in Escherichia coli BL21 resulted in the expression of an active and soluble protein that accounted for 15% of the total cell protein content. Purified PI-GT1 was highly active and stable over a broad pH range (6.0-10.0) and showed excellent pH stability. PI-GT1 maintained almost 60% of its maximal activity after 3 H of incubation at 20-40 °C and demonstrated optimal activity at 30 °C. Additionally, PI-GT1 displayed high stability and activity in the presence of hydrophilic solvents with log P ≤ -0.2 and retained more than 80% of its activity after 3 H of treatment. Supplementation with 10% DMSO markedly improved the glycosylation of raspberry ketone, resulting in a value 26 times higher than that in aqueous solution. The organic solvent-tolerant PI-GT1 may have potential uses in industrial chemical and pharmaceutical synthesis applications.

Abstract
Lipase ZC12, a cold-adapted lipase derived from Psychrobacter sp. ZY124, can be effectively activated by Ca2+. Inspired by this significant property, we developed a novel immobilized lipase ZC12/Ca3(PO4)2 hybrid nanoflowers (LHNs). The LHNs have been characterized as a regular hierarchical flowerlike structure nanoflowers by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Compared with free lipase ZC12, the LHNs exerted enhanced enzymatic activity of 206% and 2.31-fold in kcat/Km value, especially high specific activity at low temperature. After 7 successive cycles, the LHNs could still maintain its initial activity, demonstrating superior durability than the free lipase ZC12. Meanwhile, its stability basically kept unchanged in a wide range of temperature and pH. Finally, fructose laurate was transformed by the LHNs with 57.39% conversion rate which is twice as much as the free lipase. To sum up, these results validated that LHNs could emerge as an efficient immobilized lipase and possess the promising potential for practical applications.
