Study on the mechanism of efficient extracellular expression of toxic streptomyces phospholipase D in Brevibacillus choshinensis under Mg2+ stress. Microb Cell Fact 2022; 21:41.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Phospholipase D (PLD) has significant advantages in the food and medicine industries due to its unique transphosphatidylation. However, the high heterologous expression of PLD is limited by its cytotoxicity. The present study sought to develop an efficient and extracellular expression system of PLD in the non-pathogenic Brevibacillus choshinensis (B. choshinensis).
Results
The extracellular PLD was effectively expressed by the strong promoter (P2) under Mg2+ stress, with the highest activity of 10 U/mL. The inductively coupled plasma–mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) results elucidated that the over-expression of PLD by P2 promoter without Mg2+ stress induced the ionic homeostasis perturbation caused by the highly enhanced Ca2+ influx, leading to cell injury or death. Under Mg2+ stress, Ca2+ influx was significantly inhibited, and the strengths of P2 promoter and HWP gene expression were weakened. The study results revealed that the mechanism of Mg2+ induced cell growth protection and PLD expression might be related to the lowered strength of PLD expression by P2 promoter repression to meet with the secretion efficiency of B. choshinensis, and the redistribution of intracellular ions accompanied by decreased Ca2+ influx.
Conclusions
The PLD production was highly improved under Mg2+ stress. By ICP-MS and qPCR analysis combined with other results, the mechanism of the efficient extracellular PLD expression under Mg2+ stress was demonstrated. The relatively low-speed PLD expression during cell growth alleviated cell growth inhibition and profoundly improved PLD production. These results provided a potential approach for the large-scale production of extracellular PLD and novel insights into PLD function.

Abstract
Owing to their numerous nutritional and bioactive functions, phospholipids (PLs), which are major components of biological membranes in all living organisms, have been widely applied as nutraceuticals, food supplements, and cosmetic ingredients. To date, PLs are extracted solely from soybean or egg yolk, despite the diverse market demands and high cost, owing to a tedious and inefficient manufacturing process. A microbial-based manufacturing process, specifically phospholipase D (PLD)-based biocatalysis and biotransformation process for PLs, has the potential to address several challenges associated with the soybean- or egg yolk-based supply chain. However, poor enzyme properties and inefficient microbial expression systems for PLD limit their wide industrial dissemination. Therefore, sourcing new enzyme variants with improved properties and developing advanced PLD expression systems are important. In the present review, we systematically summarize recent achievements and trends in the discovery, their structural properties, catalytic mechanisms, expression strategies for enhancing PLD production, and its multiple applications in the context of PLs. This review is expected to assist researchers to understand current advances in this field and provide insights for further molecular engineering efforts toward PLD-mediated bioprocessing.

Abstract
A phospholipase D high producing strain with transphosphatidylation activity that is suitable for phosphatidylserine synthesis was screened by our laboratory and named as Streptomyces cinnamoneum SK43.003. The enzyme structural and biochemical properties were investigated using the molecular biology method. A 1521-bp fragment of the phospholipase D gene from Streptomyces cinnamoneum SK43.003 was amplified by PCR and encoded for 506 amino acids. The primary structure contained two conserved HKD and GG/S motifs. The pld gene was cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli. The purified enzyme exhibited the highest activity at a pH value of 6.0 andtemperature of 60°C. The enzyme was stable within a pH range of 4-7 for 24 h or at temperatures below 50°C. In addition, Triton X-100, Fe2+ , and Al3+ were beneficial to the enzyme activity, whereas Zn2+ and Cu2+ dramatically inhibited its activity. In a two-phase system, the enzyme could convert phosphatidylcholine to phosphatidylserine with a 92% transformation rate.

Abstract
To enhance the thermostability of phospholipase D (PLD), error-prone polymerase chain reaction method was used to create mutants of PLD (PLDsh) from Streptomyces halstedii. One desirable mutant (S163F) with Ser to Phe substitution at position 163 was screened with high-throughput assay. S163F exhibited a 10 °C higher optimum temperature than wild-type (WT). Although WT exhibited almost no activity after incubating at 50 °C for 40 min, S163F still displayed 27% of its highest activity after incubating at 50 °C for 60 min. Furthermore, the half-life of S163F at 50 °C was 3.04-fold higher than that of WT. The analysis of molecular dynamics simulation suggested that the Ser163Phe mutation led to the formation of salt bridge between Lys300 and Glu314 and a stronger hydrophobic interaction of Phe163 with Pro341, Leu342, and Trp460, resulting in an increased structural rigidity and overall enhanced stability at high temperature. This study provides novel insights on PLD tolerance to high temperature by investigating the structure-activity relationship. In addition, it provides strong theoretical foundation and preliminary information on the engineering of PLD with improved characteristics to meet industrial demand.

Abstract
Phospholipids have been widely used in food, medicine, cosmetics, and other fields because of their unique chemical structure and healthcare functions. Phospholipase D (PLD) is a key biocatalyst for the biotransformation of phospholipids. Here, an autodisplay expression system was constructed for rapid screening of mutants, and PLD variants were recombined using DNA shuffling technology and three beneficial mutations were obtained. The results of enzymatic performance and sequence information comparison indicated that C-terminal amino acids exerted a greater impact on the correct folding of PLDs, and N-terminal amino acids are more important for catalytic reaction. The best-performing recombinant enzyme in transphosphatidylation reactions was Recom-34, with a phosphatidylserine content accounting for 80.3% of total phospholipids and a 3.24-fold increased conversion rate compared to the parent enzyme. This study demonstrates great significance for screening ideal biocatalysts, facilitating soluble expression of inclusion body proteins, and identifying key amino acids.

Abstract
The HKD-containing Phospholipase D superfamily catalyzes the cleavage of the headgroup of phosphatidylcholine to produce phosphatidic acid and choline. The mechanism of this cleavage process is studied theoretically. The geometric basis of our models is the X-ray crystal structure of the five-coordinate phosphohistidine intermediate from Streptomyces sp . Strain PMF (PDB Code = 1V0Y ). Hybrid ONIOM QM:QM methodology with Density Functional Theory (DFT) and semiempirical PM6 (DFT:PM6) is used to acquire thermodynamic and kinetic data for the initial phosphoryl transfer, subsequent hydrolysis, and finally, the formation of the experimentally observed ″dead-end″ phosphohistidine product (PDB Code = 1V0W ). The model contains nineteen amino acid residues (including the two highly conserved HKD-motifs), four explicit water molecules, and the substrate. Via computations, the persistence of the short-lived five-coordinate phosphorane intermediate on the minutes times scale is rationalized. This five-coordinate phosphohistidine intermediate energetically exists between the hydrolysis event and ″substrate reorganization″ (the reorganization of the in vitro model substrate within the active site). Computations directly support the thermodynamic favorability of the in vitro four-coordinate phosphohistidine product. In vivo, the activation energy of substrate reorganization is too high, perhaps due to a combination of substrate immobility when embedded in the lipid bilayer, as well as its larger steric bulk compared to the compound used in the in vitro substrate soaks. On this longer time scale, the enzyme will migrate along the lipid membrane toward its next substrate target, rather than promote the formation of the dead-end product.

Abstract
Phospholipase D (PLD) is a useful enzyme for its transphosphatidylation activity, which enables the enzymatic synthesis of various phospholipids (PLs). Many reports exist on PLD-mediated synthesis of natural and tailor-made PLs with functional head groups, from easily available lecithin or phosphatidylcholine. Early studies on PLD-mediated synthesis mainly employed enzymes of plant origin, which were later supplanted by ones from microorganisms, especially actinomycetes. Many PLDs are members of the PLD superfamily, having one or two copies of a signature sequence, HxKxxxxD or HKD motif, in the primary structures. PLD superfamily members share a common core structure, and thereby, a common catalytic mechanism. The catalysis proceeds via two-step reaction with the formation of phosphatidyl-enzyme intermediate. Both of the two catalytic His residues are critical in the reaction course, where one acts as a nucleophile, while the other functions as a general acid/base. PLD is being engineered to improve its activity and stability, alter head group specificity and further identify catalytically important residues. Since the knowledge on PLD enzymology is constantly expanding, this review focuses on recent advances in the field, regarding PLD-catalyzed synthesis of bioactive PLs, deeper understanding of substrate recognition and binding mechanism, altering substrate specificity, and improving thermostability. We introduced some of our recent results in combination with existing facts to further deepen the story on the nature of this useful enzyme.

Abstract
Aimed to produce thermostable phosphatidylinositol (PI)-synthesizing phospholipase D (PLD), we initiated site-directed combinatorial mutagenesis followed by high-throughput screening. Previous site-directed combinatorial mutagenesis of wild-type Streptomyces PLD produced a mutant, DYR (W187D/Y191Y/Y385R) with PI-synthesizing ability. Deriving PI as a product of transphosphatidylation between phosphatidylcholine and myo-inositol, with myo-inositol in excess at high-temperature reaction conditions can increase yield due to enhanced solubility of this substrate. Thus, we improved DYR's thermostability by introduction of random mutations into selected amino acid positions having high B-factor. Screening of the libraries under restricted conditions yielded single-point mutants, specifically D40H, T291Y and R329G. Combinations of these point mutations yielded double (D40H/T291Y, D40H/R329G and T291Y/R329G) and triple (D40H/T291Y/R329G) mutants. PI synthesis at elevated temperatures pointed at D40H/T291Y as the most efficient enzyme. Circular dichroism analysis revealed D40H/T291Y to have increased melting temperature and postponed onset of thermal unfolding compared with DYR. Thermal tolerance study at 65°C confirmed D40H/T291Y's thermostability as its half-inactivation time was 8.7 min longer compared with DYR. This mutant had significantly less root-mean-square deviation change compared with DYR and showed no change in root-mean-square fluctuation when temperature shifts from 40 to 60°C, as determined by molecular dynamics analysis. Acquired different degrees of thermostability were also observed for several other DYR mutants.

Abstract
Preparation of a single and pure phospholipid via transphosphatidylation has been a much sought after endeavor in the pharmaceutical and nonmedical industries. For this reason, phosphatidylglycerol, a lung surfactant, was produced from phosphatidylcholine with defined fatty acids, ie, dipalmitoyl phosphatidylcholine. Substrate type and concentration, enzyme source, and reaction temperature were investigated. Phospholipase D from two sources, ie, savoy cabbage, was purified in the authors’ laboratory and a commercially available Streptomyces species was used for this study. The substrates used were glycerol, a polyhydric alcohol, and solketal, a monohydric form of glycerol. The progress of the reaction was monitored using thin layer chromatography, and synthesis with solketal, an unusual form of glycerol, was confirmed by liquid chromatography mass spectrometry. Surface response methodology used on four combinations of enzyme and substrate at various temperatures (30 °C–60 °C) and concentration (0.25–1 mM) revealed that yield and selectivity was temperature-driven and predictable. To validate further the thermodynamic attributes, a modified version of the Eyring equation was derived from selectivity and the Arhenius equation. These equations provide some useful insights into the difference in activation of enthalpy change(ΔΔH++) and difference in activation of entropy change(ΔΔS++). Plots of ln[PG]/[PA] versus 1/T gave good linear fits for these four combinations. In addition, a new thermodynamic parameter known as TPG = PAhas emerged as a theoretical temperature for equivalent transferase and hydrolase activity.

Abstract
Phospholipase D (PLD) plays various roles in important biological processes and physiological functions, including cell signaling. Streptomyces PLDs show significant sequence similarity and belong to the PLD superfamily containing two catalytic HKD motifs. These PLDs have conserved catalytic regions and are among the smallest PLD enzymes. Therefore, Streptomyces PLDs are thought to be suitable models for studying the reaction mechanism among PLDs from other sources. Furthermore, Streptomyces PLDs present advantages related to their broad substrate specificity and ease of enzyme preparation. Moreover, the tertiary structure of PLD has been elucidated only for PLD from Streptomyces sp. PMF. This article presents a review of recently reported studies of the mechanism of the catalytic reaction, substrate recognition, substrate specificity and stability of Streptomyces PLD using various protein engineering methods and surface plasmon resonance analysis.

Abstract
The gene that encodes phospholipase D (PLD) from Streptoverticillium cinnamoneum contains three consensus regions (Region I, II and IV as shown in Fig. 1A) that are conserved among the PLD superfamily. The glycine-glycine (GG) motif in Region I and the glycine-serine (GS) motif in Region IV are also conserved in the PLD superfamily. These (GG and GS) motifs are located 7 residues downstream from each HKD motif. In an investigation of fifteen GG/GS motif mutants, generated as fusion proteins with maltose-binding protein (MBP-PLDs), three highly active mutants were identified. Three of the mutants (G215S, G216S, and G216S-S489G) contained a serine residue in the GG motif, and exhibited approximately a 9-27-fold increased transphosphatidylation activity to DPPC compared with recombinant wild type MBP-PLD. When heat stability was compared between three mutants and the recombinant wild type, only G216S-S489G showed heat labile properties. It appears that the 489th serine residue in the GS motif also contributes to the thermal stability of the enzyme. In addition, the GG/GS motif was very close to the active center residue, including two HKD motifs, as shown by computer modeling. The findings suggest that the GG/GS motif of PLD is a key motif that affects catalytic function and enzymatic stability.

Abstract
Phospholipase D (PLD) activity has been identified in some new plant sources i.e. Brassica juncea (mustard) seeds, Zingibar officinale (ginger) rhizomes and Azadirachta indica (neem) leaves with the aim of identifying PLDs that possess high catalytic activity and stability. PLD from mustard seeds (PLD(ms)) exhibited the highest PLD specific activity, which was highly pH and temperature tolerant. PLD(ms) unlike many plant PLDs exhibited high thermal stability. The activity of PLD(ms) is optimum in the millimolar concentration of calcium ions and is independent of phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2). An active and stable enzyme like PLD(ms) may be utilized in the lipid industry.

Abstract
We have recently shown that two flexible loops of Streptomyces phospholipase D (PLD) affect the catalytic reaction of the enzyme by a comparative study of chimeric PLDs. Gly188 and Asp191 of PLD from Streptomyces septatus TH-2 (TH-2PLD) were identified as the key amino acid residues involved in the recognition of phospholipids. In the present study, we further investigated the relationship between a C-terminal loop of TH-2PLD and PLD activities to elucidate the reaction mechanism and the recognition of the substrate. By analyzing chimeras and mutants in terms of hydrolytic and transphosphatidylation activities, Ala426 and Lys438 of TH-2PLD were identified as the residues associated with the activities. We found that Gly188 and Asp191 recognized substrate forms, whereas residues Ala426 and Lys438 enhanced transphosphatidylation and hydrolysis activities regardless of the substrate form. By substituting Ala426 and Lys438 with Phe and His, respectively, the mutant showed not only higher activities but also higher thermostability and tolerance against organic solvents. Furthermore, the mutant also improved the selectivity of the transphosphatidylation activity. The residues Ala426 and Lys438 were located in the C-terminal flexible loop of Streptomyces PLD separate from the highly conserved catalytic HxKxxxxD motifs. We demonstrated that this C-terminal loop, which formed the entrance of the active well, has multiple functional roles in Streptomyces PLD.

Abstract
To investigate the contribution of amino acid residues to the enzyme reaction of Streptomyces phospholipase D (PLD), we constructed a chimeric gene library between two highly homologous plds, which indicated different activity in transphosphatidylation, using RIBS (repeat-length independent and broad spectrum) in vivo DNA shuffling. By comparing the activities of chimeras, six candidate residues related to transphosphatidylation activity were shown. Based on the above result, we constructed several mutants to identify the key residues involved in the recognition of phospholipids. By kinetic analysis, we identified that Gly188 and Asp191 of PLD from Streptomyces septatus TH-2, which are not present in the highly conserved catalytic HXKXXXXD (HKD) motifs, are key amino acid residues related to the transphosphatidylation activity. To investigate the role of two residues in the recognition of phospholipids, the effects of these residues on binding to substrates were analyzed by surface plasmon spectroscopy. The result suggests that Gly188 and Asp191 are involved in the recognition of phospholipids in correlation with the N-terminal HKD motif. Furthermore, this study also provides experimental evidence that the N-terminal HKD motif contains the catalytic nucleophile, which attacks the phosphatidyl group of the substrate.

Abstract
To isolate thermostability-related amino acid residues of Streptomyces phospholipase D (PLD), we constructed a chimeral genes library between two highly homologous plds, which exhibited different thermostabilities, by an in vivo DNA shuffling method using Escherichia coli that has a mutation of a single-stranded DNA-binding protein gene. To confirm the location of the recombination site, we carried out the restriction mapping of 68 chimeral pld genes. The recombination sites were widely dispersed over the entire pld sequence. Moreover, we examined six chimeral PLDs by comparing their thermostabilities with those of parental PLDs. To identify a thermostability-related amino acid residue, we investigated the thermostability of chimera C that was the most thermolabile among the six chimeras. We identified the thermostability-related factor Gly-188, which is located in the alpha-7 helix of PLD from Streptomyces septatus TH-2 (TH-2PLD). TH-2PLD mutants, in which Gly-188 was substituted with Phe, Val or Trp, exhibited higher thermostabilities than that of the parental PLD. Gly-188 substituted with the Phe mutant, which was the most stable among the mutants, showed an enzyme activity almost the same as that of TH-2PLD as determine by kinetic analysis.

Abstract
Phospholipase D (PLD) from plants or microorganisms is used as biocatalyst in the transformation of phospholipids and phospholipid analogs in both laboratory and industrial scale. In recent years the elucidation of the primary structure of many PLDs from several sources, as well as the resolution of the first crystal structure of a microbial PLD, have yielded new insights into the structural basis and the catalytic mechanism of this catalyst. This review summarizes some new results of PLD research in the light of application.

Abstract
In this study, the effect of temperature on the stereoselectivity of phospholipase D (PLD) toward the two primary hydroxyl groups of glycerol in the transphosphatidylation reaction of phosphatidylcholine to phosphatidylglycerol (PtdGro) was investigated. For this purpose, PLD from bacteria (Streptomyces septatus TH-2, S. halstedii subsp. scabies K6, and Actinomadura sp.) and cabbage were tested. At the reaction temperatures employed (0-60 degrees C), the proportions of the two PtdGro diastereomers, namely, 1,2-dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phospho-3'-sn-glycerol (R,R configuration) and 1 ,2-dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phospho-1'-sn-glycerol (R,S configuration), which were produced with PLD from Streptomyces TH-2 and Actinomadura sp., changed gradually from 50% R,R and 50% R,S at 50-60 degrees C to 70% R,R and 30% R,S at 0 degrees C. These alterations suggested that the stereoselectivity of the bacterial PLD toward the two primary hydroxyl groups of prochiral glycerol was significantly influenced by reaction temperature. PLD from Streptomyces K6 showed relatively little effect of temperature on stereoselectivity, giving 65-69% R,R in the temperature range of 60-10 degrees C examined. The plots of In ([R,R]/[R,S]) vs. 1/T gave good linear fits for these three bacterial PLD. No temperature effect was observed for cabbage PLD, which gave an almost equimolar mixture of the R,R and R,S diastereomers in the range from 0 to 40 degrees C. The temperature-dependent change in enantiomeric selectivity of the bacterial PLD promises potentially profitable commercial exploitation.
