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.

PESTICIDE BIOCHEMISTRY AND PHYSIOLOGY 2020; 170:104704. [PMID: 32980065 DOI: 10.1016/j.pestbp.2020.104704] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/27/2020] [Revised: 08/05/2020] [Accepted: 09/07/2020] [Indexed: 06/11/2023]
Abstract
Carboxylesterases have widely been used in a series of industrial applications, especially, the detoxification of pesticide residues. In the present study, EstC, a novel carboxylesterase from Streptomyces lividans TK24, was successfully heterogeneously expressed, purified and characterized. Phylogenetic analysis showed that EstC can be assigned as the first member of a novel family XIX. Multiple sequence alignment indicated that EstC has highly conserved structural features, including a catalytic triad formed by Ser155, Asp248 and His278, as well as a canonical Gly-His-Ser-Ala-Gly pentapeptide. Biochemical characterization indicated that EstC exhibited maximal activity at pH 9.0 (Tris-HCl buffer) and 55 °C. It also showed higher activity towards short-chain substrates, with the highest activity for p-nitrophenyl acetate (pNPA2) (Km = 0.31 ± 0.02 mM, kcat/Km = 1923.35 ± 9.62 s-1 mM-1) compared to other pNP esters used in this experiment. Notably, EstC showed hyper-thermostability and good alkali stability. The activity of EstC had no significant changes when it was incubated under 55 °C for 100 h and reached half-life after incubation at 100 °C for 8 h. Beyond that, EstC also showed stability at pH ranging from 6.0 to 11.0 and about 90% residual activity still reserved after treatment at pH 8.0 or 9.0 for 26 h, especially. Furthermore, EstC had outstanding potential for bioremediation of chlorpyrifos-contaminated environment. The recombinant enzyme (0.5 U mL-1) could hydrolyze 79.89% chlorpyrifos (5 mg L-1) at 37 °C within 80 min. These properties will make EstC have a potential application value in various industrial productions and detoxification of chlorpyrifos residues.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Identification and characterization of a novel bacterial carbohydrate esterase (PaCes7) with application potential for lignocellulose and pesticide degradation. RESULTS PaCes7 was identified from the lignocellulolytic bacterium, Pantoea ananatis Sd-1 as a new carbohydrate esterase. Recombinant PaCes7 heterologously expressed in Escherichia coli showed a clear preference for esters with short-chain fatty acids and exhibited maximum activity towards α-naphthol acetate at 37 °C and pH 7.5. Purified PaCes7 exhibited its catalytic activity under mesophilic conditions and retained more than 40% activity below 30 °C. It displayed a relatively wide pH stability from pH 6-11. Furthermore, the enzyme was strongly resistant to Mg2+, Pb2+, and Co2+ and activated by K+ and Ca2+. Both P. ananatis Sd-1 and PaCes7 could degrade the pesticide carbaryl. Additionally, PaCes7 was shown to work in combination with cellulase and/or xylanase in rice straw degradation. CONCLUSIONS The data suggest that PaCes7 possesses promising biotechnological potential.

Abstract
A novel thermostable carboxylesterase (Est5250) of thermoalkaliphilic bacterium Bacillus thermocloaceae was heterologously expressed in Escherichia coli and its biochemical properties were investigated. Est5250 showed optimum esterase activity at 60 °C and pH 8.0. The enzyme was highly thermostable at 60 °C, interestingly, the thermostability was enhanced in the presence of Ca2+, retaining more than 60% of its original activity after 12 h of pre-incubation. Est5250 was active in the presence of 1% (v/v) of organic solvents and 0.1% (v/v) of non-ionic detergents. The enzyme activity was significantly enhanced up to 167% and 159% in the presence of 2-mercaptoethanol and dithiothreitol, respectively. Est5250 showed high substrate specificity for short-chain p-nitrophenyl-esters. Kinetic constants, Km and kcat, for p-nitrophenyl-acetate were 185.8 μM and 186.6 s-1, respectively. Est5250 showed outstanding thermostability and tolerance to various organic solvents under thermoalkaliphilic conditions, suggesting that it would be a highly suitable biocatalyst for various biotechnological applications.
