Abstract
A new platform has been developed to facilitate the production of biologically active proteins and peptides in Escherichia coli. The platform includes an N-terminal self-associating L6 KD peptide fused to the SUMO protein (small ubiquitin-like protein modifier) from the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, which is known for its chaperone activity. The target proteins are fused at the C termini of the L6 KD-SUMO fusions, and the resulting three-component fusion proteins are synthesized and self-assembled in E. coli into so-called active inclusion bodies (AIBs). In vivo, the L6 KD-SUMO platform facilitates the correct folding of the target proteins and directs them into AIBs, greatly simplifying their purification. In vitro, the platform facilitates the effective separation of AIBs by centrifugation and subsequent target protein release using SUMO-specific protease. The properties of the AIBs were determined using five proteins with different sizes, folding efficiencies, quaternary structure, and disulfide modifications. Electron microscopy shows that AIBs are synthesized in the form of complex fibrillar structures resembling "loofah sponges" with unusually thick filaments. The obtained results indicate that the new platform has promising features and could be developed to facilitate the synthesis and purification of target proteins and protein complexes without the use of renaturation.

Abstract
Plastic pollution is one of the biggest environmental problems plaguing the modern world. Polyester-based plastics contribute significantly to this ecological safety concern. In this study, lipolytic biocatalysts GD-95RM and GDEst-lip developed based on lipase/esterase produced by Geobacillus sp. 95 strain were applied for the degradation of polycaprolactone films (Mn 45.000 (PCL45000) and Mn 80.000 (PCL80000)). The degradation efficiency was significantly enhanced by the addition of short chain alcohols. Lipase GD-95RM (1 mg) can depolymerize 264.0 mg and 280.7 mg of PCL45000 and PCL80000, films respectively, in a 24 h period at 30 °C, while the fused enzyme GDEst-lip (1 mg) is capable of degrading 145.5 mg PCL45000 and 134.0 mg of PCL80000 films in 24 h. The addition of ethanol (25 %) improves the degradation efficiency ~2.5 fold in the case of GD-95RM. In the case of GDEst-lip, 50 % methanol was found to be the optimal alcohol solution and the degradation efficiency was increased by ~3.25 times. The addition of alcohols not only increased degradation speeds but also allowed for simultaneous synthesis of industrially valuable 6-hydroxyhexonic acid esters. The suggested system is an attractive approach for removing of plastic waste and supports the principles of bioeconomics.

Abstract
The catalytically-active inclusion bodies (CatIBs) represent a promising strategy for immobilizing enzyme without additional carriers and chemicals, which has aroused great attention in academic and industrial communities. In this work, we discovered two natural parallel right-handed coiled-coil tetramer peptides from PDB database by a structural mining strategy. The two self-assembling peptides, NSPdoT from rotavirus and HVdoT from human Vasodilator-stimulated phosphoprotein, efficiently induced the CatIBs formation of a (R)-Hydroxynitrile lyase from Arabidopsis thaliana (AtHNL) in Escherichia coli cells. This is convenient to simultaneously purify and immobilize the target proteins as biocatalysts. As expected, HVdoT-AtHNL and NSPdoT-AtHNL possessed drastically increased tolerance toward lower pH values, which will be very critical to synthesize cyanohydrins under acidic condition for suppressing the non-enzymatic side reaction. In addition. AtHNL-CatIBs are produced at high yield in host cells as bioactive microparticles, which exhibited high thermal and pH stabilities. Therefore, the CatIBs method represent a promising application for the immobilization of enzymes in the biocatalysis field.

Abstract
In this study lipolytic biocatalysts GD-95RM, GDEst-95 and GDEst-lip were immobilized by encapsulation in calcium alginate beads. All three immobilized biocatalysts demonstrated significantly increased thermal stability at 60-70 °C temperatures and the activity of GD-95RM lipase increased by 50% at 70-80 °C following the immobilization. Moreover, encapsulated GDEst-95 esterase retained higher than 50% lipolytic activity after 3 months of incubation with butanol (25%) and ethanol (50%); GDEst-lip enzyme possessed 50% activity after 2 months of treatment with ethanol (25%) and methanol (25%); and GD-95RM lipase displayed higher that 50% activity after two-week incubation with methanol (50%). All three immobilized enzymes displayed long-term storage capability (>50% activity) at least until 3 months at 4 °C. It was also detected that immobilized GD-95RM and GDEst-lip can perform flow hydrolysis of both avocado oil and p-NP dodecanoate in prototype packed-bed column reactor. The analysis of continuous transesterification of avocado or sunflower oil with ethanol or methanol as substrates confirmed that encapsulated GD-95RM and GDEst-lip enzymes is a useful approach to produce fatty acid alkyl esters.

Abstract
Bacterial inclusion bodies (IBs) have long been considered as inactive, unfolded waste material produced by heterologous overexpression of recombinant genes. In industrial applications, they are occasionally used as an alternative in cases where a protein cannot be expressed in soluble form and in high enough amounts. Then, however, refolding approaches are needed to transform inactive IBs into active soluble protein. While anecdotal reports about IBs themselves showing catalytic functionality/activity (CatIB) are found throughout literature, only recently, the use of protein engineering methods has facilitated the on-demand production of CatIBs. CatIB formation is induced usually by fusing short peptide tags or aggregation-inducing protein domains to a target protein. The resulting proteinaceous particles formed by heterologous expression of the respective genes can be regarded as a biologically produced bionanomaterial or, if enzymes are used as target protein, carrier-free enzyme immobilizates. In the present contribution, we review general concepts important for CatIB production, processing, and application. KEY POINTS: • Catalytically active inclusion bodies (CatIBs) are promising bionanomaterials. • Potential applications in biocatalysis, synthetic chemistry, and biotechnology. • CatIB formation represents a generic approach for enzyme immobilization. • CatIB formation efficiency depends on construct design and expression conditions.

Abstract
Background Immobilization is an appropriate tool to ease the handling and recycling of enzymes in biocatalytic processes and to increase their stability. Most of the established immobilization methods require case-to-case optimization, which is laborious and time-consuming. Often, (chromatographic) enzyme purification is required and stable immobilization usually includes additional cross-linking or adsorption steps. We have previously shown in a few case studies that the molecular biological fusion of an aggregation-inducing tag to a target protein induces the intracellular formation of protein aggregates, so called inclusion bodies (IBs), which to a certain degree retain their (catalytic) function. This enables the combination of protein production and immobilization in one step. Hence, those biologically-produced immobilizates were named catalytically-active inclusion bodies (CatIBs) or, in case of proteins without catalytic activity, functional IBs (FIBs). While this strategy has been proven successful, the efficiency, the potential for optimization and important CatIB/FIB properties like yield, activity and morphology have not been investigated systematically. Results We here evaluated a CatIB/FIB toolbox of different enzymes and proteins. Different optimization strategies, like linker deletion, C- versus N-terminal fusion and the fusion of alternative aggregation-inducing tags were evaluated. The obtained CatIBs/FIBs varied with respect to formation efficiency, yield, composition and residual activity, which could be correlated to differences in their morphology; as revealed by (electron) microscopy. Last but not least, we demonstrate that the CatIB/FIB formation efficiency appears to be correlated to the solvent-accessible hydrophobic surface area of the target protein, providing a structure-based rationale for our strategy and opening up the possibility to predict its efficiency for any given target protein. Conclusion We here provide evidence for the general applicability, predictability and flexibility of the CatIB/FIB immobilization strategy, highlighting the application potential of CatIB-based enzyme immobilizates for synthetic chemistry, biocatalysis and industry.

Abstract
Sustainable and eco-efficient alternatives for the production of platform chemicals, fuels and chemical building blocks require the development of stable, reusable and recyclable biocatalysts. Here we present a novel concept for the biocatalytic production of 1,5-diaminopentane (DAP, trivial name: cadaverine) using catalytically active inclusion bodies (CatIBs) of the constitutive L-lysine decarboxylase from E. coli (EcLDCc-CatIBs) to process L-lysine-containing culture supernatants from Corynebacterium glutamicum. EcLDCc-CatIBs can easily be produced in E. coli followed by a simple purification protocol yielding up to 43% dry CatIBs per dry cell weight. The stability and recyclability of EcLDCc-CatIBs was demonstrated in (repetitive) batch experiments starting from L-lysine concentrations of 0.1 M and 1 M. EcLDC-CatIBs exhibited great stability under reaction conditions with an estimated half-life of about 54 h. High conversions to DAP of 87-100% were obtained in 30-60 ml batch reactions using approx. 180-300 mg EcLDCc-CatIBs, respectively. This resulted in DAP titres of up to 88.4 g l-1 and space-time yields of up to 660 gDAP l-1 d-1 per gram dry EcLDCc-CatIBs. The new process for DAP production can therefore compete with the currently best fermentative process as described in the literature.

Abstract
Bacterial inclusion bodies (IBs) consist of unfolded protein aggregates and represent inactive waste products often accumulating during heterologous overexpression of recombinant genes in Escherichia coli. This general misconception has been challenged in recent years by the discovery that IBs, apart from misfolded polypeptides, can also contain substantial amounts of active and thus correctly or native-like folded protein. The corresponding catalytically-active inclusion bodies (CatIBs) can be regarded as a biologically-active sub-micrometer sized biomaterial or naturally-produced carrier-free protein immobilizate. Fusion of polypeptide (protein) tags can induce CatIB formation paving the way towards the wider application of CatIBs in synthetic chemistry, biocatalysis and biomedicine. In the present review we summarize the history of CatIBs, present the molecular-biological tools that are available to induce CatIB formation, and highlight potential lines of application. In the second part findings regarding the formation, architecture, and structure of (Cat)IBs are summarized. Finally, an overview is presented about the available bioinformatic tools that potentially allow for the prediction of aggregation and thus (Cat)IB formation. This review aims at demonstrating the potential of CatIBs for biotechnology and hopefully contributes to a wider acceptance of this promising, yet not widely utilized, protein preparation.

Abstract
Lipases are industrial biocatalysts, which are involved in several novel reactions, occurring in aqueous medium as well as non-aqueous medium. Furthermore, they are well-known for their remarkable ability to carry out a wide variety of chemo-, regio- and enantio-selective transformations. Lipases have been gained attention worldwide by organic chemists due to their general ease of handling, broad substrate tolerance, high stability towards temperatures and solvents and convenient commercial availability. Most of the synthetic reactions on industrial scale are carried out in organic solvents because of the easy solubility of non-polar compounds. The effect of organic system on their stability and activity may determine the biocatalysis pace. Because of worldwide use of lipases, there is a need to understand the mechanisms behind the lipase-catalyzed reactions in organic solvents. The unique interfacial activation of lipases has always fascinated enzymologists and recently, biophysicists and crystallographers have made progress in understanding the structure-function relationships of these enzymes. The present review describes the advantages of lipase-catalyzed reactions in organic solvents and various effects of organic solvents on their activity.

Abstract
An increasing number of both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cell types are being adapted as platforms for recombinant protein production. The overproduction of proteins in such expression systems leads to the formation of insoluble protein-based aggregates. Although these protein clusters have been poorly studied in most of the eukaryotic systems, aggregates formed in E. coli, named inclusion bodies (IBs), have been deeply characterized in the last decades. Contrary to the general belief, an important fraction of the protein embedded in IB is functional, showing promise in biocatalysis, regenerative medicine and cell therapy. Thus, the exploration of all these functional protein clusters would largely expand their potential in both pharma and biotech industry.
