Characterization of a novel cold-adapted GH1 β-glucosidase from Psychrobacillus glaciei and its application in the hydrolysis of soybean isoflavone glycosides. Curr Res Food Sci 2024; 8:100777. [PMID: 38840809 PMCID: PMC11150966 DOI: 10.1016/j.crfs.2024.100777] [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: 11/06/2023] [Revised: 05/16/2024] [Accepted: 05/23/2024] [Indexed: 06/07/2024] Open
Abstract
The novel β-glucosidase gene (pgbgl1) of glycoside hydrolase (GH) family 1 from the psychrotrophic bacterium Psychrobacillus glaciei sp. PB01 was successfully expressed in Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3). The deduced PgBgl1 contained 447 amino acid residues with a calculated molecular mass of 51.4 kDa. PgBgl1 showed its maximum activity at pH 7.0 and 40 °C, and still retained over 10% activity at 0 °C, suggesting that the recombinant PgBgl1 is a cold-adapted enzyme. The substrate specificity, Km, Vmax, and Kcat/Km for the p-Nitrophenyl-β-D-glucopyranoside (pNPG) as the substrate were 1063.89 U/mg, 0.36 mM, 1208.31 U/mg and 3871.92/s, respectively. Furthermore, PgBgl1 demonstrated remarkable stimulation of monosaccharides such as glucose, xylose, and galactose, as well as NaCl. PgBgl1 also demonstrated a high capacity to convert the primary soybean isoflavone glycosides (daidzin, genistin, and glycitin) into their respective aglycones. Overall, PgBgl1 exhibited high catalytic activity towards aryl glycosides, suggesting promising application prospects in the food, animal feed, and pharmaceutical industries.

Abstract
High-value chemicals and energy-related products can be produced from biomass. Biorefinery technology offers a sustainable and cost-effective method for this high-value conversion. β-glucosidase is one of the key enzymes in biorefinery processes, catalyzing the production of glucose from aryl-glycosides and cello-oligosaccharides via the hydrolysis of β-glycosidic bonds. Although β-glucosidase plays a critical catalytic role in the utilization of cellulosic biomass, its efficacy is often limited by substrate or product inhibitions, low thermostability, and/or insufficient catalytic activity. To provide a detailed overview of β-glucosidases and their benefits in certain desired applications, we collected and summarized extensive information from literature and public databases, covering β-glucosidases in different glycosidase hydrolase families and biological kingdoms. These β-glucosidases show differences in amino acid sequence, which are translated into varying degrees of the molecular properties critical in enzymatic applications. This review describes studies on the diversity of β-glucosidases related to the classification, catalytic mechanisms, key molecular characteristics, kinetics models, and applications, and highlights several β-glucosidases displaying high stability, activity, and resistance to glucose inhibition suitable for desired biotechnological applications.

Mechanistic insights into phenanthrene acropetal translocation via wheat xylem: Separation and identification of transfer proteins. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2022; 838:155919. [PMID: 35577096 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2022.155919] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/03/2022] [Revised: 05/09/2022] [Accepted: 05/09/2022] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) have the potential to cause cancer, teratogenicity, and mutagenesis in humans. Long-term plant safe production relies on how PAHs are transported and coordinated across organs. However, the acropetal transfer mechanism of PAHs in staple crop stems, particularly in xylem, a critical path, is unknown. Herein, we first confirmed the presence of specific interaction between the proteins and phenanthrene by employing the magnetic phenanthrene-bound bead immunoassay and label free liquid chromatograph mass spectrometer (LC-MS/MS), suggesting that peroxidase (uniprot accession: A0A3B5XXD0) and unidentified proteins (uniprot accession: A0A3B6LUC6) may function as the carriers to load and acropetally translocate phenanthrene (a model PAH) in wheat xylem. This specified binding of protein-phenanthrene may form through hydrophobic interactions in the conservative binding region, as revealed by protein structural investigations and molecular docking. To further investigate the role of these proteins in phenanthrene solubilization, phenanthrene exposure was conducted: a substantial quantity of peroxidase was produced; an unusually high expression of uncharacterized proteins was observed, indicating their positive effects in the acropetal transfer of phenanthrene in wheat xylem. These data confirmed that the two proteins are crucial in the solubilization of phenanthrene in wheat xylem sap. Our findings provide fresh light on the molecular mechanism of PAH loading in plant xylem and techniques for ensuring the security of staple crops and improving the efficacy of phytoremediation in a PAH-contaminated environment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND β-glucosidase is an important biomass-degrading enzyme and plays a vital role in generating renewable biofuels through enzymatic saccharification. In this study, we analyzed the transcriptome of Trichoderma harzianum HTASA derived from Hainan mangrove and identified a new gene encoding β-glucosidase Bgl3HB. And the biochemically characterization of β-glucosidase activity was performed. RESULTS Bgl3HB showed substantial catalytic activity in the pH range of 3.0-5.0 and at temperatures of 40 ℃-60 ℃. The enzyme was found quite stable at 50 ℃ with a loss of only 33.4% relative activity after 240 min of heat exposure. In addition, all tested metal ions were found to promote the enzyme activity. The β-glucosidase activity of Bgl3HB was enhanced by 2.12-fold of its original activity in the presence of 5 M NaCl. Surprisingly, Bgl3HB also showed a remarkable ability to hydrolyze laminarin compared to other measured substrates. Enzyme efficiency was examined in the sugarcane bagasse saccharification processes, in which Bgl3HB with 5 M NaCl worked better supplementing Celluclast 1.5L than the commercial Novozyme 188 ascertained it as an admirably suited biocatalyst for the utilization of agricultural waste. In this work, this is the first report of a halophilic β-glucosidase from Trichoderma harzianum, and represents the β-glucosidase with the highest known NaCl activation concentration. And adding 5 M NaCl could enhance saccharification performance even better than commercial cellulase. CONCLUSIONS These results show that Bgl3HB has great promise as a highly stable and highly efficient cellulase with important future applications in the industrial production of biofuels.

Abstract
Isoflavone glycosides are commonly biotransformed into isoflavone aglycones due to the superior biological activities of the latter. Wild soybeans contain a higher isoflavone content than domesticated soybeans due to their high level of genetic diversity. In this study, we cloned and characterized a thermostable β-galactosidase from the extreme thermophile Thermoproteus uzoniensis for potential application in isoflavone conversion in Korean wild soybeans. The purified recombinant enzyme exhibited a maximum specific activity of 1103 μmol/min/mg at pH 5.0 and 90 °C with a half-life of 46 h and exists as a homodimer of 113 kDa. The enzyme exhibited the highest activity for p-nitrophenyl (pNP)-β-D-galactopyranoside among aryl glycosides and it hydrolyzed isoflavone glycosides in the order genistin > daidzin > ononin > glycitin. The enzyme completely hydrolyzed 2.77 mM daidzin and 3.85 mM genistin in the seed extract of wild soybean after 80 and 70 min with productivities of 1.86 and 3.30 mM/h, respectively, and 9.89 mM daidzin and 1.67 mM genistin in the root extract after 180 and 30 min, with the highest productivities of 3.30 and 3.36 mM/h, respectively, compared to other glycosidases. Our results will contribute to the industrial production of isoflavone aglycone using wild soybean and this is the first report on the enzymatic production of isoflavone aglycones from isoflavone glycosides in wild soybeans.

Abstract
β-Glucosidases are used in the food industry to hydrolyse glycosidic bonds in complex sugars, with enzymes sourced from extremophiles better able to tolerate the process conditions. In this work, a novel β-glycosidase from the acidophilic organism Alicyclobacillus herbarius was cloned and heterologously expressed in Escherichia coli BL21(DE3). AheGH1 was stable over a broad range of pH values (5-11) and temperatures (4-55 °C). The enzyme exhibited excellent tolerance to fructose and good tolerance to glucose, retaining 65 % activity in the presence of 10 % (w/v) glucose. It also tolerated organic solvents, some of which appeared to have a stimulating effect, in particular ethanol with a 1.7-fold increase in activity at 10 % (v/v). The enzyme was then applied for the cleavage of isoflavone from isoflavone glucosides in an ethanolic extract of soy flour, to produce soy isoflavones, which constitute a valuable food supplement, full conversion was achieved within 15 min at 30 °C.

Producing natural vanilla extract from green vanilla beans using a β-glucosidase from Alicyclobacillus acidiphilus. J Biotechnol 2021; 329:21-28.

Abstract
Current methods for the production of natural vanilla extract are long and tedious, and the efficiency of the vanillin extraction is usually conditioned by different factors during the traditional curing process (temperatures and weather conditions). As an important fraction of vanillin is present in the form of glucovanillin in green beans, endogenous β-glucosidases contribute to its hydrolysis; however, these enzymes lose efficiency during the curing process. The use of extremophilic organisms as a source of an appropriate exogenous enzyme can offer a valid alternative when producing natural vanillin. Here, a β-glucosidase from the thermo-acidophilic organism Alicyclobacillus acidiphilus (AacGH1) was cloned, expressed in E. coli BL21, and fully characterized in respect to both function and crystal structure. Notably, AacGH1 was stable at a temperature up to 50 °C and exhibited good tolerance to glucose, fructose and organic solvents, in particular it maintained full activity in the presence of up to 20 % (v/v) ethanol. The enzyme was then successfully applied to an ethanol-water (20 % (v/v)) extract of green vanilla beans and the complete hydrolysis of glucovanillin (1.7 mM) to vanillin, and other flavour compounds commonly found in vanilla, was achieved using 0.5 mg/mL of enzyme in just 15 min at 30 °C.

Abstract
Microorganisms from extreme environments tend to undergo various adaptations due to environmental conditions such as extreme pH, temperature, salinity, heavy metals, and solvents. Thus, they produce enzymes with unique properties and high specificity, making them useful industrially, particularly in the food industries. Despite these enzymes' remarkable properties, only a few instances can be reported for actual exploitation in the food industry. This review's objectives are to highlight the properties of these enzymes and their prospects in the food industry. First, an introduction to extremophilic organisms is presented, followed by the categories and application of food enzymes from extremophiles. Then, the unique structural features of extremozymes are shown. This review also covers the prospective applications of extremozymes in the food industry in a broader sense, including degradation of toxins, deconstruction of polymers into monomers, and catalysis of multistep processes. Finally, the challenges in bioprocessing of extremozymes and applications in food are presented. PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS: Enzymes are important players in food processing and preservation. Extremozymes, by their nature, are ideal for a broad range of food processing applications, particularly those that require process conditions of extreme pH, temperature, and salinity. As the global food industry grows, so too will grow the need to research and develop food products that are diverse, safe, healthy, and nutritious. There is also the need to produce food in a sustainable way that generates less waste or maximizes waste valorization. We anticipate that extremozymes can meet some of the research and development needs of the food industry.

Abstract
Kinema is an ethnic, naturally fermented soybean product consumed in the Sikkim Himalayan region of India. In the present study, the whole metagenome sequencing approach was adopted to examine the microbial diversity and related functional potential of Kinema, consumed in different seasons. Firmicutes was the abundant phylum in Kinema, ranging from 82.31 to 93.99% in different seasons, followed by Actinobacteria and Proteobacteria. At the species level, the prevalent microorganisms were Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus amyloliquefaciens, Bacillus licheniformis, Corynebacterium glutamicum, Bacillus pumilus, and Lactococcus lactis. The abundance of microbial species varied significantly in different seasons. Further, the genomic presence of some undesirable microbes like Bacillus cereus, Proteus mirabilis, Staphylococcus aureus, Proteus penneri, Enterococcus faecalis, and Staphylococcus saprophyticus, were also detected in the specific season. The metagenomic analysis also revealed the existence of bacteriophages belonging to the family Siphoviridae, Myoviridae, and Podoviridae. Examination of the metabolic potential of the Kinema metagenome depicted information about the biocatalysts, presumably involved in the transformation of protein and carbohydrate polymers into bioactive molecules of health-beneficial effects. The genomic resource of several desirable enzymes was identified, such as β-galactosidase, β-glucosidase, β-xylosidase, and glutamate decarboxylase, etc. The catalytic function of a novel glutamate decarboxylase gene was validated for the biosynthesis of γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA). The results of the present study highlight the microbial and genomic resources associated with Kinema, and its importance in functional food industry.
