Abstract
Isomaltooligosaccharides (IMOs), including isomaltose, are valuable oligosaccharides, and the development of methods to synthesize high-purity IMOs has long been underway. We recently discovered a novel enzyme, 4-O-α-d-isomaltooligosaccharylmaltooligosaccharide 1,4-α-isomaltooligosaccharohydrolase (IMM-4IH), that showed promise for improving the synthesis process. In this study, we establish methods for synthesizing isomaltose and IMOs consisting of a variety of degrees of polymerization from starch using IMM-4IH. With 5% substrate, by combining IMM-4IH with 1,4-α-glucan 6-α-glucosyltransferase from Bacillus globisporus N75, the yield of isomaltose was 63.0%; incorporating isoamylase and cyclomaltodextrin glucanotransferase increased the yield to 75.3%. On the other hand, by combining IMM-4IH with 1,4-α-glucan 6-α-glucosyltransferase from Paenibacillus sp. PP710, IMOs were synthesized. The inclusion of isoamylase and α-amylase led to the 136 mM IMOs, consisting of oligosaccharides from isomaltose to isomaltodecaose, from 10% starch. The development of these efficient methods will be an important contribution to the industrial production of IMOs.

Abstract
A novel enzyme, 4-O-α-d-isomaltooligosaccharylmaltooligosaccharide 1,4-α-isomaltooligosaccharohydrolase (IMM-4IH), was previously discovered from Sarocladium kiliense U4520. In order to identify the factors underlying the unique substrate specificity of IMM-4IH, we endeavored to determine the amino acid sequence of the enzyme. By comparing the partial amino acid sequence of the enzyme to whole genome sequencing data of S. kiliense U4520, the IMM-4IH gene was estimated. The putative gene was expressed in Pichia pastoris, and its activity and properties were found to be consistent with those of the native enzyme. Comparing the amino acid sequence of IMM-4IH with those in the CAZy database led to classification in the glycoside hydrolase family 49 (GH49). Several amino acids important for catalysis (Asp406, Asp425, and Asp426) and substrate recognition at subsites + 1 and -3 were estimated by multiple sequence alignment analysis. These results provide important information for characterizing IMM-4IH and other GH49 enzymes.

Abstract
We discovered a novel enzyme in our pursuit of an improved method for the production of isomaltose. The enzyme, 4-α-isomaltooligosylglucose 4-glucanohydrolase from Sarocladium kiliense U4520, recognizes the panose motif (α-d-Glcp-(1 → 6)-α-d-Glcp-(1 → 4)-d-Glcp) and hydrolyzes the α-1,4-glucosidic bond on the reducing end side with respect to the α-1,6-glucosidic bond. The structure on the non-reducing end of the panose motif is important for the recognition of the substrate by the enzyme, and the substrate specificity is unique and distinguished from previously reported enzymes. The enzyme catalyzes the hydrolysis of panose with a kcat/Km of 31.2 s-1mM-1, and catalysis results in anomeric inversion. These enzymatic properties suggest that this enzyme will pair well with 1,4-α-glucan 6-α-glucosyltransferase from Bacillus globisporus N75 in the efficient production of isomaltose from starch.

Abstract
We attempted to develop an efficient method for producing isomaltose, a disaccharide consisting of an α-(1→6)-linkage, from starch by combining enzymes of known activity. We found that the combination of 1,4-α-glucan 6-α-glucosyltransferase from Bacillus globisporus N75 and isopullulanase from Aspergillus brasiliensis ATCC 9642 led to the efficient synthesis of isomaltose. Inclusion of isoamylase and cyclomaltodextrin glucanotransferase resulted in increased efficiency, with production yields exceeding 70%. Furthermore, we considered that isomaltooligosaccharides could be synthesized from starch by combining 1,4-α-glucan 6-α-glucosyltransferase from Paenibacillus sp. PP710 and isopullulanase. In reactions that additionally utilized isoamylase and α-amylase, the total concentration of product, which included a series of isomaltooligosaccharides from isomaltose to isomaltodecaose, was 131 m m, and the ratio of 6-linked glucopyranosyl bonds to all bonds was 91.7% at a substrate concentration of 10%. The development of these manufacturing methods will accelerate the industrial production of isomaltose and isomaltooligosaccharides.

Abstract
N-glycosylation has been shown to be important for the stability of some glycoproteins. Isopullulanase (IPU), a polysaccharide-hydrolyzing enzyme, is a highly N-glycosylated protein, and IPU deglycosylation results in a decrease in thermostability. To investigate the function of N-glycan in IPU, we focused on an N-glycosylated residue located in the vicinity of the active site, Asn448. The thermostabilities of three IPU variants, Y440A, N448A and S450A, were 0.5-8.4°C lower than the wild-type enzyme. The crystal structure of endoglycosidase H (Endo H)-treated N448A variant was determined. There are four IPU molecules, Mol-A, B, C and D, in the asymmetric unit. The conformation of a loop composed of amino acid residues 435-455 in Mol-C was identical to wild-type IPU, whereas the conformations of this loop in Mol-A, Mol-B and Mol-D were different from each other. These results suggest that the Asn448 side chain is primarily important for the stability of IPU. Our results indicate that mutation of only N-glycosylated Asn residue may lead to incorrect conclusion for the evaluation of the function of N-glycan. Usually, the structures of N-glycosylation sites form an extended configuration in IPU; however, the Asn448 site had an atypical structure that lacked this configuration.

Abstract
The pulA1 gene, encoding a novel thermostable type I pullulanase PulA1 from Bacillus sp. CICIM 263, was identified from genomic DNA. The open reading frame of the pulA1 gene was 2655 base pairs long and encoded a polypeptide (PulA1) of 885 amino acids with a calculated molecular mass of 100,887 Da. The pulA1 gene was expressed in Escherichia coli and Bacillus subtilis. Recombinant PuLA1 showed optimal activity at pH 6.5 and 70 °C. The enzyme demonstrated moderate thermostability as PuLA1 maintained more than 88% of its acitivity when incubated at 70 °C for 1 h. The enzyme could completely hydrolyze pullulan to maltotriose, and hydrolytic activity was also detected with glycogen, starch and amylopection, but not with amylose, which is consistent with the property of type I pullulanase. PulA1 may be suitable for industrial applications to improve the yields of fermentable sugars for bioethanol production.

Abstract
Background The degradation of plant materials by enzymes is an industry of increasing importance. For sustainable production of second generation biofuels and other products of industrial biotechnology, efficient degradation of non-edible plant polysaccharides such as hemicellulose is required. For each type of hemicellulose, a complex mixture of enzymes is required for complete conversion to fermentable monosaccharides. In plant-biomass degrading fungi, these enzymes are regulated and released by complex regulatory structures. In this study, we present a methodology for evaluating the potential of a given fungus for polysaccharide degradation. Results Through the compilation of information from 203 articles, we have systematized knowledge on the structure and degradation of 16 major types of plant polysaccharides to form a graphical overview. As a case example, we have combined this with a list of 188 genes coding for carbohydrate-active enzymes from Aspergillus niger, thus forming an analysis framework, which can be queried. Combination of this information network with gene expression analysis on mono- and polysaccharide substrates has allowed elucidation of concerted gene expression from this organism. One such example is the identification of a full set of extracellular polysaccharide-acting genes for the degradation of oat spelt xylan. Conclusions The mapping of plant polysaccharide structures along with the corresponding enzymatic activities is a powerful framework for expression analysis of carbohydrate-active enzymes. Applying this network-based approach, we provide the first genome-scale characterization of all genes coding for carbohydrate-active enzymes identified in A. niger.

Abstract
Aspergillus niger isopullulanase (IPU) is the only pullulan-hydrolase in glycosyl hydrolase (GH) family 49 and does not hydrolyse dextran at all, while all other GH family 49 enzymes are dextran-hydrolysing enzymes. To investigate the common catalytic mechanism of GH family 49 enzymes, nine mutants were prepared to replace residues conserved among GH family 49 (four Trp, three Asp and two Glu). Homology modelling of IPU was also carried out based on the structure of Penicillium minioluteum dextranase, and the result showed that Asp353, Glu356, Asp372, Asp373 and Trp402, whose substitutions resulted in the reduction of activity for both pullulan and panose, were predicted to be located in the negatively numbered subsites. Three Asp-mutated enzymes, D353N, D372N and D373N, lost their activities, indicating that these residues are candidates for the catalytic residues of IPU. The W402F enzyme significantly reduced IPU activity, and the Km value was sixfold higher and the k0 value was 500-fold lower than those for the wild-type enzyme, suggesting that Trp402 is a residue participating in subsite -1. Trp31 and Glu273, whose substitutions caused a decrease in the activity for pullulan but not for panose, were predicted to be located in the interface between N-terminal and beta-helical domains. The substrate preference of the negatively numbered subsites of IPU resembles that of GH family 49 dextranases. These findings suggest that IPU and the GH family 49 dextranases have a similar catalytic mechanism in their negatively numbered subsites in spite of the difference of their substrate specificities.

Abstract
The gene encoding the type I pullulanase from the extremely thermophilic anaerobic bacterium Fervidobacterium pennavorans Ven5 was cloned and sequenced in Escherichia coli. The pulA gene from F. pennavorans Ven5 had 50.1% pairwise amino acid identity with pulA from the anaerobic hyperthermophile Thermotoga maritima and contained the four regions conserved among all amylolytic enzymes. The pullulanase gene (pulA) encodes a protein of 849 amino acids with a 28-residue signal peptide. The pulA gene was subcloned without its signal sequence and overexpressed in E. coli under the control of the trc promoter. This clone, E. coli FD748, produced two proteins (93 and 83 kDa) with pullulanase activity. A second start site, identified 118 amino acids downstream from the ATG start site, with a Shine-Dalgarno-like sequence (GGAGG) and TTG translation initiation codon was mutated to produce only the 93-kDa protein. The recombinant purified pullulanases (rPulAs) were optimally active at pH 6 and 80 degrees C and had a half-life of 2 h at 80 degrees C. The rPulAs hydrolyzed alpha-1,6 glycosidic linkages of pullulan, starch, amylopectin, glycogen, alpha-beta-limited dextrin. Interestingly, amylose, which contains only alpha-1,4 glycosidic linkages, was not hydrolyzed by rPulAs. According to these results, the enzyme is classified as a debranching enzyme, pullulanase type I. The extraordinary high substrate specificity of rPulA together with its thermal stability makes this enzyme a good candidate for biotechnological applications in the starch-processing industry.

Abstract
Isopullulanase (IPU) from Aspergillus niger A.T.C.C. (American Type Culture Collection) 9642 hydrolyses pullulan to isopanose. IPU is important for the production of isopanose and is used in the structural analysis of oligosaccharides with alpha-1,4 and alpha-1,6 glucosidic linkages. We have isolated the ipuA gene encoding IPU from the filamentous fungi A. niger A.T.C.C. 9642. The ipuA gene encodes an open reading frame of 1695 bp (564 amino acids). IPU contained a signal sequence of 19 amino acids, and the molecular mass of the mature form was calculated to be 59 kDa. IPU has no amino-acid-sequence similarity with the other pullulan-hydrolysing enzymes, which are pullulanase, neopullulanase and glucoamylase. However, IPU showed a high amino-acid-sequence similarity with dextranases from Penicillium minioluteum (61%) and Arthrobacter sp. (56%). When the ipuA gene was expressed in Aspergillus oryzae, the expressed protein (recombinant IPU) had IPU activity and was immunologically reactive with antibodies raised against native IPU. The substrate specificity, thermostability and pH profile of recombinant IPU were identical with those of the native enzyme, but recombinant IPU (90 kDa) was larger than the native enzyme (69-71 kDa). After deglycosylation with peptide-N-glycosidase F, the deglycosylated recombinant IPU had the same molecular mass as deglycosylated native enzyme (59 kDa). This result suggests that the carbohydrate chain of recombinant IPU differed from that of the native enzyme.

Abstract
Bacillus circulans F-2 amylase-pullulanase enzyme (APE) displayed dual activity with respect to glycosidic bond cleavage. The enzyme was active on alpha-1,6 bonds in pullulan, amylopectin, and glycogen, while it showed alpha-1,4 activity against malto-oligosaccharides, amylose, amylopectin, and soluble starch, but not pullulan. Kinetic analysis of the purified enzyme in a system which contained both pullulan and amylose as two competing substrates was used to distinguish the dual specificity of the enzyme from the single-substrate specificity known for pullulanases and alpha-amylases. Enzyme activities were inhibited by some metal ions, and by metal-chelating agents with a different mode. The enzyme-inhibitory results of amylase and pullulanase with Hg2+ and Co2+ ions were different, indicating that the activation mechanisms of both enzyme activities are different. Cyclomaltoheptaose inhibited both alpha-amylase and pullulanase activities with inhibition constants (Ki) of 0.029 and 0.06 mg/ml, respectively. Modification with 1-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-3-ethylcarbodiimide confirmed a carboxy group at the active sites of both enzymes. The N-terminal sequence of the enzyme was: Ala-Asp-Ala-Lys-Lys-Thr-Pro- Gln-Gln-Gln-Phe- Asp-Ala-Leu-Trp-Ala-Ala-Gly-Ile-Val-Thr-Gly-Thr-Pro-Asp-Gly-Phe. The purified enzyme displayed Michaelis constant (Km) values of 0.55 mg/ml for amylose, and 0.71 mg/ml for pullulan. When both amylose and pullulan were simultaneously present, the observed rate of product formation closely fitted a kinetic model in which the two substrates are hydrolyzed at different active sites. These results suggest that amylopullulanases, which possess both alpha-1,6 and alpha-1,4 cleavage activities at the same active site, should be distinguished from APEs, which contain both activities at different active sites on the same polypeptide. Also, it is proposed that the Enzyme Commission use the term 'amylase-pullulanase enzyme' to refer to enzymes which act on starch and cleave both alpha-1,6-bonds in pullulan and alpha-1,4 bonds in amylose at different active sites.

Abstract
A thermoanaerobe (
Thermoanaerobacter
sp.) grown in TYE-starch (0.5%) medium at 60°C produced both extra- and intracellular pullulanase (1.90 U/ml) and amylase (1.19 U/ml) activities. Both activities were produced at high levels on a variety of carbon sources. The temperature and pH optima for both pullulanase and amylase activities were 75°C and pH 5.0, respectively. Both the enzyme activities were stable up to 70°C (without substrate) and at pH 4.5 to 5.0. The half-lives of both enzyme activities were 5 h at 70°C and 45 min at 75°C. The enzyme activities did not show any metal ion activity, and both activities were inhibited by β- and γ-cyclodextrins but not by α-cyclodextrin. A single amylolytic pullulanase responsible for both activities was purified to homogeneity by DEAE-Sepharose CL-6B column chromatography, gel filtration using high-pressure liquid chromatography, and pullulan-Sepharose affinity chromatography. It was a 450,000-molecular-weight glycoprotein composed of two equivalent subunits. The pullulanase cleaved pullulan in α1,6 linkages and produced multiple saccharides from cleavage of α-1,4 linkages in starch. The
K
m
s for pullulan and soluble starch were 0.43 and 0.37 mg/ml, respectively.
