Hakoda M, Kato T, Takahashi C, Shiono Y, Koseki T. Substrate specificity modification of paraben hydrolase and tannase from Aspergillus oryzae. Enzyme Microb Technol 2024; 180:110495. [PMID: 39121638 DOI: 10.1016/j.enzmictec.2024.110495] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/29/2024] [Revised: 07/31/2024] [Accepted: 08/05/2024] [Indexed: 08/12/2024]
Abstract
Paraben hydrolase and tannase catalyze the hydrolysis of parabens (4-hydroxybenzoic acid esters) and gallic acid (3,4,5-trihydroxybenzoic acid) esters, respectively. Paraben hydrolase (AoPrbA) and tannase (AoTanB) from Aspergillus oryzae belong to the tannase family in the ESTHER database. However, the substrate specificities of AoPrbA and AoTanB are narrow. Based on structural information of Aspergillus niger tannase (PDB code 7k4o), we constructed five single variants of AoPrbA (Thr200Glu, Phe231Gln, Leu232Gln, Ile361Tyr, and Leu428Ser) and four of AoTanB (Glu203Asp, Glu203Thr, His237Ala, and Ser440Leu) to investigate substrate discrimination between AoPrbA and AoTanB. Each variant was expressed in Pichia pastoris and were purified from the culture supernatant. Five purified variants of AoPrbA and four variants of AoTanB showed reduced paraben hydrolase and tannase activities compared with AoPrbA and AoTanB wild types, respectively. Interestingly, the AoPrbA wild type did not hydrolyze gallic acid methyl ester, whereas the Thr200Glu, Leu232Gln, and Leu428Ser variants did, indicating that these three variants acquired tannase activity. In particular, the Leu428Ser variant exhibited considerably greater hydrolysis of gallic acid and protocatechuic acid methyl esters. Meanwhile, the AoTanB wild type, and Glu203Asp, His237Ala and Ser440Leu variants hydrolyzed the protocatechuate methyl and 4-hydroxybenzoate ethyl esters; however, the Glu203Thr variant did not hydrolyze above-mentioned substrates. Additionally, the ratio of paraben hydrolase activity to tannase activity in Ser440Leu was markedly elevated.

Abstract
Environmental pollution caused by petroleum-derived plastics continues to increase annually. Consequently, current research is interested in the search for eco-friendly bacterial polymers. The importance of Bacillus bacteria as producers of polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) has been recognized because of their physiological and genetic qualities. In this study, twenty strains of Bacillus genus PHA producers were isolated. Production was initially evaluated qualitatively to screen the strains, and subsequently, the strain B12 or Bacillus sp. 12GS, with the highest production, was selected through liquid fermentation. Biochemical and molecular identification revealed it as a novel isolate of Bacillus cereus. Production optimization was carried out using the Taguchi methodology, determining the optimal parameters as 30 °C, pH 8, 150 rpm, and 4% inoculum, resulting in 87% and 1.91 g/L of polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB). Kinetic studies demonstrated a higher production within 48 h. The produced biopolymer was analyzed using Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), confirming the production of short-chain-length (scl) polyhydroxyalkanoate, named PHB, and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) analysis revealed thermal properties, making it a promising material for various applications. The novel B. cereus isolate exhibited a high %PHB, emphasizing the importance of bioprospecting, study, and characterization for strains with biotechnological potential.

Abstract
Tannin acyl hydrolase referred commonly as tannase catalyzes the hydrolysis of the galloyl ester bond of tannin to release gallic acid. The tannase TanBLp which cloned from Lactobacillus plantarum ATCC14917T has high activity in the pH range (7.0-9.0) at 40 °C, it would be detrimental to the utilization at acidic environment. The catalytic sites and stability of TanBLp were analyzed using bioinformatics and site-specific mutagenesis. The results reiterated that the amino acid residues Ala164, Lys343, Glu357, Asp421 and His451 had played an important role in maintaining the activity. The optimum pH of mutants V75A, G77A, N94A, A164S and F243A were shifted from 8.0 to 6.0, and mutant V75A has the highest pH stability and activity at acidic conditions than other mutants, which was more suitable for industrial application to manufacture gallic acid. This study was of great significance to promote the industrialization and efficient utilization of tannase TanBLp.

Abstract
Tannin acyl hydrolases or tannases (E.C.3.1.1.20) are enzymes that hydrolyze the ester bond of tannins to produce gallic acid and glucose. We engineered the Aspergillus niger GH1 tannase sequence and Pichia pastoris strains to produce and secrete the enzyme as a single-chain protein. The recombinant tannase was N-glycosylated, had a molecular mass after N-deglycosylation of 65.4 kDa, and showed activity over broad pH and temperature ranges, with optimum pH and temperature of 5.0 and 20 °C. Furthermore, the single-chain tannase had an 11-fold increased specific activity in comparison to the double-chain A. niger GH1 tannase, which was also produced in P. pastoris. Structural analysis suggested that the high specific activity may be due to the presence of a flexible loop in the lid domain, which can control and drive the substrate to the active site. In contrast, the low specific activity of the double-chain tannase may be due to the presence of a disordered and flexible loop that could hinder the substrate's access to the binding site. Based on its biochemical properties, high specific activity, and the possibility of its production in P. pastoris, the tannase described could be used in food and beverage processing at low and medium temperatures.

Abstract
Glargine is a long-acting insulin analog with less hypoglycemia risk. Like human insulin, glargine is a globular protein composed of two polypeptide chains linked by two disulfide bonds. Pichia pastoris KM71 Muts strains were engineered to produce and secrete insulin glargine through the cleavage of two Kex2 sites. Nevertheless, the recombinant product was the single-chain insulin glargine (glargine precursor) instead of the expected double-chain glargine. Molecular model analysis of the dimeric and hexameric forms of the single-chain glargine showed buried Kex2 sites that prevent intracellular glargine precursor processing. The effect of the methanol-feeding strategy (methanol limited fed-batch vs. methanol non-limited fed-batch) and the induction temperature (28 °C vs. 24 °C) on the cell growth and production parameters in bioreactor cultures was also evaluated. Exponential growth at a constant specific growth rate was observed in all the cultures. The volumetric productivities and specific substrate consumption rates were directly proportional to the specific growth rate. The lower temperature led to increased metabolic activity of the yeast cells, which increased the specific growth rate. The methanol non-limited fed-batch culture at 24 °C showed the highest values for the process parameters. After 75 h of induction, 0.122 g/L of glargine precursor was obtained from the culture medium.

Abstract
The human chromogranin A-derived peptide CGA-N12, which is composed of 12 amino acid residues with the sequence ALQGAKERAHQQ, showed strong antifungal activity and the least hemolytic activity in previous studies. However, synthetic peptides are relatively expensive to produce. Recombinant expression of peptides in the host cells, such as bacteria or yeast, can fastly provide cost-efficient products of peptides. Here, we developed an innovative system to produce CGA-N12 peptides in the yeast Pichia pastoris GS115 using genetic engineering technology. In order to directly secret short CGA-N12 peptides into the culture media from GS115 cells and enhance its expression effect, the structure of the CGA-N12 coding sequence was designed to mimic that of native α-factor gene of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Four long primer pairs with sticky end were used to synthesize CGA-N12 expression sequence which contains four copies of CGA-N12 flanked by a Lys-Arg pair and two Glu-Ala repeating units. Endogenous proteases Kex2 and Ste13 in Golgi apparatus recognize and excise Lys-Arg and Glu-Ala pair to release short CGA-N12 peptides from the tandem repeat sequences, respectively. The CGA-N12 peptides were successfully expressed in Pichia pastoris with a yield of up to 30 mg/L of yeast culture as determined using HPLC. Our study indicated that the strategy employed in this work may be a good way to express small-molecule peptides directly in the Pichia pastoris system.

Abstract
Rebaudioside D is a promising sweetener due to its zero calorie and high sweetness. Here, a transglucosylase gene eugt11 from Oryza sativa was for the first time expressed in Pichia pastoris, and transformant XE-3 showed the highest expression levels in pH 5.5 BMMY media containing 0.75% methanol. The affinity-purified EUGT11 from XE-3 displayed the highest activity at pH 6.0-6.5 and 45 °C, compared to pH 8.5 and 35 °C for EUGT11 from Escherichia coli. One-pot synthesis with orthogonal design was employed to optimize the rebaudioside D production using XE-3, and the initial pH 7.0 of the medium appears to be a significant factor and delivers the highest conversion efficiency. A two-step temperature-control strategy was developed, and a conversion rate of 95.31% was achieved at 28/35 °C vs. 62.41% in a one-step process at 28 °C. This study provides a high-efficient whole-cell biocatalysts technology for the sweetener production.

Abstract
Aspergillus oryzae tannase (AoTanA), which contains two Kex2 recognition sites at positions Arg311 and Arg316, consists of two subunits that are generated by the cleavage of tannase gene product by the Kex2 protease. Based on the crystal structure of feruloyl esterase from Aspergillus oryzae (AoFaeB), which has been classified as a member of the fungal tannase family, the catalytic triad residues of AoTanA are predicted to be Ser195, Asp455, and His501, with the serine and histidine residues brought together by a disulfide bond of the neighboring cysteines, Cys194 and Cys502. In this study, we investigated the functional role of the Kex2 recognition sites and disulfide bond between the neighboring cysteines in AoTanA. We constructed a double variant (R311A/R316A), a seven amino-acid deletion variant of region Lys310-Arg316 (ΔKR), and two single variants (C194A and C502A). While the R311A/R316A variant exhibited the two bands similar to wild type by SDS-PAGE after treatment with endoglycosidase H, the ΔKR variant exhibited only one band. R311A/R316A variation had no effect on tannase activity and stability. Meanwhile, the ΔKR variant exhibited higher activity compared to the wild-type. The activities of the C194A and C502A variants decreased considerably (<0.24% of the wild-type) toward methyl gallate.

Abstract
Tannins are polyphenolic compounds that cause astringent flavor and turbidity in food. Tannase is an enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of tannins and is used in food industry. This study was conducted to determine the genetic variability and the tannase alleles variation in fungal strains isolated from soil and plants at five extreme areas of Coahuila, México. Two screening assays under 1 and 20 % of tannic acid were performed, with the isolations. In these assays, it was possible to identify 756 and 128 fungal strains, respectively. The major fungal variability was observed in "Cuatro Ciénegas" with 26 strains. The microorganisms were distributed in 11 groups, which correspond to Aspergillus section Nigri. AN7 and AN1 groups showed the major number of isolates from "Paila" and "Cuatro Ciénegas" locations, respectively. In the last location, the major diversity and specific richness were found. But in "Ojo Caliente," tannase allele conservations were observed.

Abstract
Feruloyl esterases (FAEs) represent a diverse group of carboxyl esterases that specifically catalyze the hydrolysis of ester bonds between ferulic (hydroxycinnamic) acid and plant cell wall polysaccharides. Therefore, FAEs act as accessory enzymes to assist xylanolytic and pectinolytic enzymes in gaining access to their site of action during biomass conversion. Their ability to release ferulic acid and other hydroxycinnamic acids from plant biomass makes FAEs potential biocatalysts in a wide variety of applications such as in biofuel, food and feed, pulp and paper, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical industries. This review provides an updated overview of the knowledge on fungal FAEs, in particular describing their role in plant biomass degradation, diversity of their biochemical properties and substrate specificities, their regulation and conditions needed for their induction. Furthermore, the discovery of new FAEs using genome mining and phylogenetic analysis of current publicly accessible fungal genomes will also be presented. This has led to a new subfamily classification of fungal FAEs that takes into account both phylogeny and substrate specificity.
