[PMID: 38754670 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.132398] [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: 12/28/2023] [Revised: 05/01/2024] [Accepted: 05/13/2024] [Indexed: 05/18/2024]
Abstract
Nattokinase (NK) is found in fermented foods and has high fibrinolytic activity, which makes it promising for biological applications. In this study, a mutant strain (Bacillus subtilis ZT-S1, 5529.56 ± 183.59 U/mL) with high NK-producing activity was obtained using 12C6+ heavy ion beam mutagenesis for the first time. The surface morphology of B. subtilis is also altered by changes in functional groups caused by heavy ion beams. Furthermore, B. subtilis ZT-S1 required more carbon and nitrogen sources and reached stabilization phase later. Comparative genome analysis revealed that most of the mutant implicated genes (oppA, appA, kinA, spoIIP) were related to spore formation. And the affected rpoA is related to the synthesis of the NK-coding gene aprE. In addition, the B. subtilis ZT-S1 obtained by mutagenesis had good genetic stability. This study further explores the factors affecting NK activity and provides a promising microbial resource for NK production in commercial applications.

Abstract
Ovalbumin (OVA) is the principal protein constituent of eggs. As an alternative to eggs, cell-cultured OVA can reduce the environmental impact of global warming and land use. Escherichia coli Nissle 1917 (EcN), a probiotic with specific endogenous cryptic plasmids that stably exist in cells without the addition of antibiotics, was chosen as the host for the efficient heterologous expression of the OVA. OVA yield reached 20 mg·L-1 in shake flasks using the OVA expression cassette containing a tac promoter (Ptac) upstream of the OVA-coding sequences on the endogenous plasmid pMUT2. Subsequently, we improved the level of the expression of the OVA by employing a dual promoter (PP5 combined with Ptac via a sigma factor binding site 24) and ribosome binding site (RBS) substitution. These enhancements increased the level of production of OVA in shake flasks to 30 and 42 mg·L-1, respectively. OVA by EcNP-P28 harboring plasmid L28 equipped with both dual promoter and the strong RBS8 reached 3.70 g·L-1 in a 3 L bioreactor. Recombinant OVA and natural OVA showed similar biochemical characteristics, including secondary structure, isoelectric point, amino acid composition, and thermal stability. This is currently the highest OVA production reported among prokaryotes. We successfully constructed an antibiotic-free heterologous protein expression system for EcN.

Abstract
A producing-fibrinolytic enzyme strain was isolated with high yield. The strain was identified as Bacillus amyloliquefaciens. B. amyloliquefaciens GUTU06 fibrinolytic enzyme was purified by acetone precipitation and reverse micelle. Acetone precipitation condition and reverse micelle condition were examined. Results showed that the total reverse micelle extraction efficiency was 64.49 % ± 1.6 %. The purification fold of the entire process reached 13.38. The optimum pH of purified enzyme is 5, and the optimum temperature is 45 °C. Fe3+ and K+ can enhance the fibrinolytic activity of the enzyme. Compared to commercial fibrinolytic enzymes such as urokinase and lumbrukinase, GUTU06 fibrinolytic enzymes have a lower pH optimal range and higher temperature stability. The molecular weight of the enzyme was approximately 28 kDa. Reverse micelle extraction with cetyl trimethylammonium bromide as a surfactant combined with acetone precipitation is suitable for separating and purifying fibrinolytic enzymes and a promising technique for obtaining active proteins.

Microb Biotechnol 2023; 16:2278-2291. [PMID: 37874686 PMCID: PMC10686157 DOI: 10.1111/1751-7915.14358] [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: 06/12/2023] [Accepted: 10/09/2023] [Indexed: 10/26/2023] Open
Abstract
Vaccines and cell therapeutics based on genetic code expansion are emerging. A crucial step in these therapeutic technologies is the oral administration of non-canonical amino acids (ncAAs) to control pathogen growth and therapeutic protein levels in vivo. Investigating the toxicity effects of ncAAs can help identify more suitable candidates for developing genetic code expansion-based vaccines and cell therapeutics. In this study, we determined the effects of three ncAAs, namely, 4-acetyl-phenylalanine (pAcF), 4-iodo-phenylalanine (pIoF), and 4-methoxy-phenylalanine (pMeoF), commonly used in genetic code expansion-based vaccines and cell therapeutics, on the main organs, serum biochemical parameters, and gut microbiota in mice. We observed that pIoF and pMeoF significantly altered serum biochemical parameters to some extent. Moreover, the alterations in the mouse gut microbial composition were considerably greater after the oral administration of pIoF and pMeoF than after that of pAcF, compared with that in the control mice. These findings suggest that pAcF is more suitable than pIoF and pMeoF for application in genetic code expansion-based vaccines and cell therapeutics as it disturbs the physiological and gut microecological balance in mice to a lesser extent.
