Hydrolysis of ionic liquid-treated substrate with an Iocasia fonsfrigidae strain SP3-1 endoglucanase. Appl Microbiol Biotechnol 2024; 108:63. [PMID: 38189956 PMCID: PMC10774164 DOI: 10.1007/s00253-023-12918-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/26/2023] [Revised: 12/04/2023] [Accepted: 12/13/2023] [Indexed: 01/09/2024]
Abstract
Recently, we reported the discovery of a novel endoglucanase of the glycoside hydrolase family 12 (GH12), designated IfCelS12A, from the haloalkaliphilic anaerobic bacterium Iocasia fonsfrigidae strain SP3-1, which was isolated from a hypersaline pond in the Samut Sakhon province of Thailand (ca. 2017). IfCelS12A exhibits high substrate specificity on carboxymethyl cellulose and amorphous cellulose but low substrate specificity on b-1,3;1,4-glucan. Unlike some endoglucanases of the GH12 family, IfCelS12A does not exhibit hydrolytic activity on crystalline cellulose (i.e., Avicel™). High-Pressure Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) and Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC) analyses of products resulting from IfCelS12-mediated hydrolysis indicate mode of action for this enzyme. Notably, IfCelS12A preferentially hydrolyzes cellotetraoses, cellopentaoses, and cellohexaoses with negligible activity on cellobiose or cellotriose. Kinetic analysis with cellopentaose and barely b-D-glucan as cellulosic substrates were conducted. On cellopentaose, IfCelS12A demonstrates a 16-fold increase in activity (KM = 0.27 mM; kcat = 0.36 s-1; kcat/KM = 1.34 mM-1 s-1) compared to the enzymatic hydrolysis of barley b-D-glucan (KM: 0.04 mM, kcat: 0.51 s-1, kcat/KM = 0.08 mM-1 s-1). Moreover, IfCelS12A enzymatic efficacy is stable in hypersaline sodium chlorids (NaCl) solutions (up to 10% NaCl). Specifically, IfCel12A retains notable activity after 24 h at 2M NaCl (10% saline solution). IfCelS12A used as a cocktail component with other cellulolytic enzymes and in conjunction with mobile sequestration platform technology offers additional options for deconstruction of ionic liquid-pretreated cellulosic feedstock. KEY POINTS: • IfCelS12A from an anaerobic alkaliphile Iocasia fronsfrigidae shows salt tolerance • IfCelS12A in cocktails with other enzymes efficiently degrades cellulosic biomass • IfCelS12A used with mobile enzyme sequestration platforms enhances hydrolysis.

Auto-induction, biochemical characterization and application of a novel thermo-alkaline and detergent-stable lipase (S9 peptidase domain) from Thermotoga petrophila as cleaning additive and degrading oil/fat wastes. Bioorg Chem 2024; 151:107658. [PMID: 39033546 DOI: 10.1016/j.bioorg.2024.107658] [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: 04/07/2024] [Revised: 06/29/2024] [Accepted: 07/15/2024] [Indexed: 07/23/2024]
Abstract
A peptidase S9 prolyl oligopeptidase domain from Thermotoga petrophila RKU-1T (TpS9) was over-expressed as an active, soluble and hyperstable lipolytic enzyme in the mesophilic host system. The sequence analysis demonstrated, TpS9 is an esterase/lipase-like protein belongs to alpha/beta (α/β)-hydrolase superfamily with a well-conserved penta-peptide (GLSAG) motif and α/β-hydrolase fold. Various approaches (induction and cultivation) were employed to enrich TpS9 production, 6.04- and 7.26-fold increment was observed with IPTG (0.4 mM) and lactose (200 mM) in the modified 4ZB medium (pH 7.0), but with IPTG-independent auto-induction strategy 9.02-fold augmentation was achieved after 16 h incubation at 24 °C (150 rev min-1). Purified TpS9 showed optimal activity in McIlvaine buffer (pH 6.5) at 80-85 °C, and revealed great thermal (30-85 °C) and pH (6.0-9.0) for 8 h. No obvious constraint was perceived with various metal ions, surfactants, commercial laundry detergents, and chemical modulators. Whereas, TpS9 activity was improved with Ca2+, Mn2+, and Mg2+ by 210 %, 142.5 %, and 134.3 %, respectively. With 2.5 M NaCl (215 %), 50 % (v/v) methanol (140 %), 50 % (v/v) ethanol (126.6 %), 50 % (v/v) n-butanol (122.3 %), 50 % (v/v) isopropanol (120.4 %), 50 % (v/v) acetone (118.6 %) and 50 % (v/v) glycerol (113.2 %) TpS9 activity was also enriched. TpS9 demonstrated great affinity toward natural oils and p-nitrophenyl ester substrates, but showed peak activity with p-nitrophenyl palmitate (3160 U mg-1). Km, Vmax, kcat, Vmax Km-1 and kcat Km-1 of TpS9 with pNPP were 0.421 mM, 4015 µmol mg-1 min-1, 906.4 s-1, 9536.8 min-1, and 2152.96 mM-1 s-1, respectively. Moreover, TPS9 has notable ability to clean stains (5 min) and degrade the animals' fat (3 h). Hence, TpS9 is a favorable candidate as cleaning bio-additive in detergent formulation, fat degradation and various other applications.

Abstract
Anthropogenic activities have led to a drastic shift from natural fuels to alternative renewable energy reserves that demand heat-stable cellulases. Cellobiohydrolase is an indispensable member of cellulases that play a critical role in the degradation of cellulosic biomass. This article details the process of cloning the cellobiohydrolase gene from the thermophilic bacterium Caldicellulosiruptor bescii and expressing it in Escherichia coli (BL21) CondonPlus DE3-(RIPL) using the pET-21a(+) expression vector. Multi-alignments and structural modeling studies reveal that recombinant CbCBH contained a conserved cellulose binding domain III. The enzyme's catalytic site included Asp-372 and Glu-620, which are either involved in substrate or metal binding. The purified CbCBH, with a molecular weight of 91.8 kDa, displayed peak activity against pNPC (167.93 U/mg) at 65°C and pH 6.0. Moreover, it demonstrated remarkable stability across a broad temperature range (60-80°C) for 8 h. Additionally, the Plackett-Burman experimental model was employed to assess the saccharification of pretreated sugarcane bagasse with CbCBH, aiming to evaluate the cultivation conditions. The optimized parameters, including a pH of 6.0, a temperature of 55°C, a 24-hour incubation period, a substrate concentration of 1.5% (w/v), and enzyme activity of 120 U, resulted in an observed saccharification efficiency of 28.45%. This discovery indicates that the recombinant CbCBH holds promising potential for biofuel sector.

Abstract
Filamentous fungi are the main industrial source of cellulases which are important in the process of converting cellulose to fermentable sugars. In this study, transcriptome analysis was conducted on Aspergillus terreus NEAU-7 cultivated using corn stover and glucose as carbon sources. Four putative endoglucanases (EG5A, EG7A, EG12A, and EG12C) from A. terreus NEAU-7 were efficiently expressed in Pichia pastoris. Among them, EG7A exhibited the highest enzyme activity (75.17 U/mg) with an optimal temperature of 40 °C and pH 5.0. EG5A and EG12A displayed specific activities of 19.92 U/mg and 14.62 U/mg, respectively, at 50 °C. EG12C showed acidophilic characteristics with an optimal pH of 3.0 and a specific activity of 12.21 U/mg at 40 °C. With CMC-Na as the substrate, the Km value of EG5A, EG7A, EG12A or, EG12C was, 11.08 ± 0.87 mg/mL, 6.82 ± 0.74 mg/mL, 7.26 ± 0.64 mg/mL, and 9.88 ± 0.86 mg/mL, with Vmax values of 1258.23 ± 51.62 μmol∙min-1∙mg-1, 842.65 ± 41.53 μmol∙min-1∙mg-1, 499.38 ± 20.42 μmol∙min-1∙mg-1, and 681.41 ± 30.08 μmol∙min-1∙mg-1, respectively. The co-treatment of EG7A with the commercial cellulase increased the yield of reducing sugar by 155.77 % (filter paper) and 130.49 % (corn stover). Molecular docking assay showed the interaction energy of EG7A with cellotetraose at -10.50 kcal/mol, surpassing EG12A (-10.43 kcal/mol), EG12C (-10.28 kcal/mol), and EG5A (-9.00 kcal/mol). Root Mean Square Deviation (RMSD) and Solvent Accessible Surface Area (SASA) values revealed that the presence of cellotetraose stabilized the molecular dynamics simulation of the cellotetraose-protein complex over a 100 ns time scale. This study provides valuable insights for developing recombinant enzymes and biomass degradation technologies.

Abstract
Cellulases are widely used in industry, and the usage in bioconversion of biofuels makes cellulases more valuable. In this study, two tandem genes that encoded cellulases ZF994-1 and ZF994-2, respectively, were identified on a cosmid from a soil metagenomic library. Phylogenetic analysis indicated that ZF994-1 and ZF994-2 belonged to glycoside hydrolase family 12 (GH12), and GH3, respectively. Based on the substrate specificity analysis, the recombinant ZF994-1 exhibited weak endoglucanase activity, moderate β-1,3-glucanase and β-1,4-mannanase activities, and strong β-glucosidase activity, while the recombinant ZF994-2 exhibited moderate endoglucanase activity and strong β-glucosidase activity. More than 45% β-glucosidase activity of the recombinant ZF994-1 retained in the buffer containing 3 M glucose, indicating the good tolerance against glucose. The recombinant ZF994-2 showed high activity in the presence of metal ions and organic reagents, exhibiting potential industrial applications.

Abstract
Lignocellulose, the most prevalent biomass on earth, can be enzymatically converted into carbohydrates for bioethanol production and other uses. Among lignocellulosic enzymes, endoglucanase, xylanase, and laccase are the key enzymes, owing to their ability to disrupt the main structure of lignocellulose. Recently, new discovery methods have been established to obtain key lignocellulosic enzymes with excellent enzymatic properties. Molecular modification of enzymes to modulate their thermostability, catalytic activity, and substrate specificity has been performed with protein engineering technology. In addition, the enzyme expression has been effectively improved through expression element screening and host modification, as well as fermentation optimization. Immobilization of enzymes, use of surfactants, synergistic degradation, and optimization of reaction conditions have addressed the inefficiency of enzymatic saccharification. In this review, recent advances in key lignocellulosic enzymes are summarized, along with future prospects for the development of super-engineered strains and integrative technologies for enzymatic biomass saccharification.

Abstract
Nature is a dexterous and prolific chemist for cataloging a number of hostile niches that are the ideal residence of various thermophiles. Apart from having other species, these subsurface environments are considered a throne of bacterial genus Thermotoga. The genome sequence of Thermotogales encodes complex and incongruent clusters of glycoside hydrolases (GHs), which are superior to their mesophilic counterparts and play a prominent role in various applications due to their extreme intrinsic stability. They have a tremendous capacity to use a wide variety of simple and multifaceted carbohydrates through GHs, formulate fermentative hydrogen and bioethanol at extraordinary yield, and catalyze high-temperature reactions for various biotechnological applications. Nevertheless, no stringent rules exist for the thermo-stabilization of biocatalysts present in the genus Thermotoga. These enzymes endure immense attraction in fundamental aspects of how these polypeptides attain and stabilize their distinctive three-dimensional (3D) structures to accomplish their physiological roles. Moreover, numerous genome sequences from Thermotoga species have revealed a significant fraction of genes most closely related to those of archaeal species, thus firming a staunch belief of lateral gene transfer mechanism. However, the question of its magnitude is still in its infancy. In addition to GHs, this genus is a paragon of encapsulins which carry pharmacological and industrial significance in the field of life sciences. This review highlights an intricate balance between the genomic organizations, factors inducing the thermostability, and pharmacological and industrial applications of GHs isolated from genus Thermotoga.

Abstract
The bioconversion of lignocellulose into monosaccharides is critical for ensuring the continual manufacturing of biofuels and value-added bioproducts. Enzymatic degradation, which has a high yield, low energy consumption, and enhanced selectivity, could be the most efficient and environmentally friendly technique for converting complex lignocellulose polymers to fermentable monosaccharides, and it is expected to make cellulases and xylanases the most demanded industrial enzymes. The widespread nature of thermophilic microorganisms allows them to proliferate on a variety of substrates and release substantial quantities of cellulases and xylanases, which makes them a great source of thermostable enzymes. The most significant breakthrough of lignocellulolytic enzymes lies in lignocellulose-deconstruction by enzymatic depolymerization of holocellulose into simple monosaccharides. However, commercially valuable thermostable cellulases and xylanases are challenging to produce in high enough quantities. Thus, the present review aims at giving an overview of the most recent thermostable cellulases and xylanases isolated from thermophilic and hyperthermophilic microbes. The emphasis is on recent advancements in manufacturing these enzymes in other mesophilic host and enhancement of catalytic activity as well as thermostability of thermophilic cellulases and xylanases, using genetic engineering as a promising and efficient technology for its economic production. Additionally, the biotechnological applications of thermostable cellulases and xylanases of thermophiles were also discussed.
