Sürmeli Y, Durmuş N, Şanlı-Mohamed G. Exploring the Structural Insights of Thermostable Geobacillus esterases by Computational Characterization. ACS OMEGA 2024; 9:32931-32941. [PMID: 39100300 PMCID: PMC11292637 DOI: 10.1021/acsomega.4c03818] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/21/2024] [Revised: 07/10/2024] [Accepted: 07/15/2024] [Indexed: 08/06/2024]
Abstract
This study conducted an in silico analysis of two biochemically characterized thermostable esterases, Est2 and Est3, from Geobacillus strains. To achieve this, the amino acid sequences of Est2 and Est3 were examined to assess their biophysicochemical properties, evolutionary connections, and sequence similarities. Three-dimensional models were constructed and validated through diverse bioinformatics tools. Molecular dynamics (MD) simulation was employed on a pNP-C2 ligand to explore interactions between enzymes and ligand. Biophysicochemical property analysis indicated that aliphatic indices and theoretical T m values of enzymes were between 82-83 and 55-65 °C, respectively. Molecular phylogeny placed Est2 and Est3 within Family XIII, alongside other Geobacillus esterases. DeepMSA2 revealed that Est2, Est3, and homologous sequences shared 12 conserved residues in their core domain (L39, D50, G53, G55, S57, G92, S94, G96, P108, P184, D193, and H223). BANΔIT analysis indicated that Est2 and Est3 had a significantly more rigid cap domain compared to Est30. Salt bridge analysis revealed that E150-R136, E124-K165, E137-R141, and E154-K157 salt bridges made Est2 and Est3 more stable compared to Est30. MD simulation indicated that Est3 exhibited greater fluctuations in the N-terminal region including conserved F25, cap domain, and C-terminal region, notably including H223, suggesting that these regions might influence esterase catalysis. The common residues in the ligand-binding sites of Est2-Est3 were determined as F25 and L167. The analysis of root mean square fluctuation (RMSF) revealed that region 1, encompassing F25 within the β2-α1 loop of Est3, exhibited higher fluctuations compared to those of Est2. Overall, this study might provide valuable insights for future investigations aimed at improving esterase thermostability and catalytic efficiency, critical industrial traits, through targeted amino acid modifications within the N-terminal region, cap domain, and C-terminal region using rational protein engineering techniques.

Abstract
We prospected a novel arylesterase LggEst from the probiotics Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus GG by genome mining strategy, and characterized the enzymatic properties in detail. Biochemical characterization revealed that arylesterase LggEst presented high activity at a wide range of temperatures from 25 to 65 °C with maximum activity at 50 °C. LggEst maintained high activity in the pH range from 5.5 to 7.5 with optimum pH of 6.5. LggEst might efficiently hydrolyze a series of aryl substrates p-nitrophenyl esters with different acyl chain lengths. LggEst displayed the Vmax from 2.8 to 77.3 μmol min-1 mg-1 protein and the k cat from 1.8 to 48.8 s-1 with the highest catalytic activity on pNPC6. The K M of LggEst on different substrates varied significantly from 4.9 μM to 5.6 mM with the highest affinity on pNPC10. LggEst exhibited the preference for medium- and long-chain p-nitrophenyl esters. LggEst showed remarkable thermostability at 45 °C. LggEst could be tolerant of several organic solvents at the concentration of 10% and DMSO and methanol at the concentration of 20%. Catalytic activity of LggEst was improved by 12% in the presence of 20% ethylene glycol. LggEst was resistant to high concentrations of sodium citrate and sodium chloride. Notably, enzymatic activity of LggEst was significantly enhanced in the presence of 0.1% sodium deoxycholate at high temperatures.

Abstract
Feruloyl esterase is an indispensable biocatalyst in food processing, pesticide and pharmaceutical industries, catalyzing the cleavage of the ester bond cross-linked between the polysaccharide side chain of hemicellulose and ferulic acid in plant cell walls. LP_0796 from Lactobacillus plantarum was identified as a feruloyl esterase that may have potential applications in the food industry, but the lack of the substrate recognition and catalytic mechanisms limits its application. Here, LP_0796 showed the highest activity towards methyl caffeate at pH 6.6 and 40 °C. The crystal structure of LP_0796 was determined at 2.5 Å resolution and featured a catalytic triad Asp195-containing loop facing the opposite direction, thus forming a wider substrate binding pocket. Molecular docking simulation and site-directed mutagenesis studies further demonstrated that in addition to the catalytic triad (Ser94, Asp195, His225), Arg125 and Val128 played essential roles in the function of the active site. Our data also showed that Asp mutation of Ala23 and Ile198 increased the catalytic efficiency to 4- and 5-fold, respectively. Collectively, this work provided a better understanding of the substrate recognition and catalytic mechanisms of LP_0796 and may facilitate the future protein design of this important feruloyl esterase.

Abstract
Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are sources of a large variety of microbial ester hydrolases because they can produce a wide range of short-chain esters, phenolic alcohols, and fatty acids. Here, a novel SGNH-type esterase (LpSGNH1) from Lactobacillus plantarum WCFS1 was identified, functionally characterized, and immobilized for biotechnological applications. Homologs of LpSGNH1 are also found in many lactic acid bacteria (LAB) species. Biochemical features of LpSGNH1 were investigated using mass spectrometry, gel filtration chromatography, enzyme kinetics, fluorescence, and circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy. LpSGNH1 were retained its activity under conditions that would be encountered during fermentations. Interestingly, LpSGNH1 exhibited the ability to act on a broad range of substrates including ketoprofen acetate, cefotaxime (CTX), and 7-aminocephalosporanic acid (7-ACA) as well as glucose pentaacetate, acetylxylan, and acetylalginate, which make LpSGNH1 a great candidate for extensive industrial applications. Furthermore, cross-linked enzyme aggregates of LpSGNH1 (CLEA-LpSGNH1) displayed recycling ability and thermal stability compared to free LpSGNH1, which could be useful for industrial applications. This work highlights the importance of LpSGNH1 in the preparation of commercial compounds, and LpSGNH1 can be used as a model system of SGNH esterases in lactic acid bacteria.

Abstract
Lactobacillus plantarum is a lactic acid bacterium that can be found during cheese ripening. Lipolysis of milk triacylglycerols to free fatty acids during cheese ripening has fundamental consequences on cheese flavor. In the present study, the gene lp_1760, encoding a putative esterase or lipase, was cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3) and the overproduced Lp_1760 protein was biochemically characterized. Lp_1760 hydrolyzed p-nitrophenyl esters of fatty acids from C2 to C16, with a preference for p-nitrophenyl butyrate. On triglycerides, Lp_1760 showed higher activity on tributyrin than on triacetin. Although optimal conditions for activity were 45°C and pH 7, Lp_1760 retains activity under conditions commonly found during cheese making and ripening. The Lp_1760 showed more than 50% activity at 5°C and exhibited thermal stability at high temperatures. Enzymatic activity was strongly inhibited by sodium dodecyl sulfate and phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride. The Lp_1760 tributyrin esterase showed high activity in the presence of NaCl, lactic acid, and calcium chloride. The results suggest that Lp_1760 might be a useful tributyrin esterase to be used in cheese manufacturing.

Abstract
The purple membrane of Halobacterium Salinarum carries out a protein, bacteriorhodopsin (bR), which is a model for structure-function studies of membrane proteins. The heterologous expression of integral membrane proteins (IMPS) is difficult. In this study, we reported the heterologous overexpression of bacterio-opsin (bO) in Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3). Bacterio-opsin expression is facilitated by using mistic, a membrane protein from Bacillus subtilis in E. coli BL21 (DE3) membranes. The optimized bO gene was cloned in fusion to the C-terminus of mistic in pET 30a (+) and contains an oct-histidine in C-terminal to facilitate purification. Different medium, temperature, and induction time were used to optimize protein overexpression. The highest expression was obtained from the Terrific Broth (TB) medium at 18 °C with an IPTG concentration of 0.1 mM. The final purified bR was 192 ± 1 mg/L which has an important value for the production of membrane proteins in E. coli.

Abstract
Lactobacillus plantarum is a lactic acid bacteria that can be found in numerous fermented foods. Esterases from L. plantarum exert a fundamental role in food aroma. In the present study, the gene lp_2631 encoding a putative esterase was cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3) and the overproduced Lp_2631 protein has been biochemically characterized. Lp_2631 exhibited optimal esterase activity at 20 °C and more than 90% of maximal activity at 5 °C, being the first cold-active esterase described in a lactic acid bacteria. Lp_2631 exhibited 40% of its maximal activity after 2 h of incubation at 65 °C. Lp_2631 also showed marked activity in the presence of compounds commonly found in food fermentations, such as NaCl, ethanol, or lactic acid. The results suggest that Lp_2631 might be a useful esterase to be used in food fermentations.

Abstract
The gene lp_1002 from Lactobacillus plantarum WCFS1 encoding a putative lipase/esterase was cloned and overexpressed in Escherichia coli BL21(DE3). The purified Lp_1002 protein was biochemically characterized. Lp_1002 is an arylesterase which showed high hydrolytic activity on phenyl acetate. Although to a lesser extent, Lp_1002 also hydrolyzed most of the esters assayed including relevant wine aroma compounds. Importantly, Lp_1002 exhibited hydrolytic activity at winemaking conditions, although optimal catalytic activity is observed at 40 °C and pH 5-7. The effect of wine compounds on Lp_1002 activity was assayed. From the compounds assayed (ethanol, sodium metabisulfite, and malic, tartaric, lactic and citric acids), only malic acid slightly inhibited Lp_1002 activity. Lp_1002 is the first arylesterase described in a wine lactic acid bacteria and possessed suitable biochemical properties to be used during winemaking.

Abstract
Lactobacillus plantarum is frequently found in the fermentation of plant-derived food products, where hydroxycinnamoyl esters are abundant. L. plantarum WCFS1 cultures were unable to hydrolyze hydroxycinnamoyl esters; however, cell extracts from the strain partially hydrolyze methyl ferulate and methyl p-coumarate. In order to discover whether the protein Lp_0796 is the enzyme responsible for this hydrolytic activity, it was recombinantly overproduced and enzymatically characterized. Lp_0796 is an esterase that, among other substrates, is able to efficiently hydrolyze the four model substrates for feruloyl esterases (methyl ferulate, methyl caffeate, methyl p-coumarate, and methyl sinapinate). A screening test for the detection of the gene encoding feruloyl esterase Lp_0796 revealed that it is generally present among L. plantarum strains. The present study constitutes the description of feruloyl esterase activity in L. plantarum and provides new insights into the metabolism of hydroxycinnamic compounds in this bacterial species.
