[PMID: 38901517 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.133264] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/23/2024] [Revised: 06/13/2024] [Accepted: 06/17/2024] [Indexed: 06/22/2024]
Abstract
Chiral alcohols are essential building blocks of numerous pharmaceuticals and fine chemicals. Aldo-keto reductases (AKRs) constitute a superfamily of oxidoreductases that catalyze the reduction of aldehydes and ketones to their corresponding alcohols using NAD(P)H as a coenzyme. Knowledge about the crucial roles of AKRs immobilization in the biocatalytic synthesis of chiral alcohols is expanding. Herein, we reviewed the characteristics of various AKRs immobilization approaches, the applications of different immobilization materials, and the prospects of continuous flow bioreactor construction by employing these immobilized biocatalysts for synthesizing chiral alcohols. Finally, the opportunities and ongoing challenges for AKR immobilization are discussed and the outlook for this emerging area is analyzed.

Appl Microbiol Biotechnol 2024; 108:392. [PMID: 38910173 PMCID: PMC11194204 DOI: 10.1007/s00253-024-13233-z] [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: 04/12/2024] [Revised: 06/05/2024] [Accepted: 06/10/2024] [Indexed: 06/25/2024]
Abstract
In the last decades, biocatalysis has offered new perspectives for the synthesis of (chiral) amines, which are essential building blocks for pharmaceuticals, fine and bulk chemicals. In this regard, amidases have been employed due to their broad substrate scope and their independence from expensive cofactors. To expand the repertoire of amidases, tools for their rapid identification and characterization are greatly demanded. In this work an ultra-high throughput growth selection assay based on the production of the folate precursor p-aminobenzoic acid (PABA) is introduced to identify amidase activity. PABA-derived amides structurally mimic the broad class of commonly used chromogenic substrates derived from p-nitroaniline. This suggests that the assay should be broadly applicable for the identification of amidases. Unlike conventional growth selection assays that rely on substrates as nitrogen or carbon source, our approach requires PABA in sub-nanomolar concentrations, making it exceptionally sensitive and ideal for engineering campaigns that aim at enhancing amidase activities from minimally active starting points, for example. The presented assay offers flexibility in the adjustment of sensitivity to suit project-specific needs using different expression systems and fine-tuning with the antimetabolite sulfathiazole. Application of this PABA-based assay facilitates the screening of millions of enzyme variants on a single agar plate within two days, without the need for laborious sample preparation or expensive instruments, with transformation efficiency being the only limiting factor. KEY POINTS: • Ultra-high throughput assay (tens of millions on one agar plate) for amidase screening • High sensitivity by coupling selection to folate instead of carbon or nitrogen source • Highly adjustable in terms of sensitivity and expression of the engineering target.

JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2023; 441:129952. [PMID: 36116312 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2022.129952] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/23/2022] [Revised: 08/20/2022] [Accepted: 09/06/2022] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
The insecticide flonicamid (FLO) and its main degradation intermediate 4-trifluoromethylnicotinamide (TFNA-AM) are hazardous to the environment and animals. Microbial transformation of FLO has been well studied, but no study has yet reported on TFNA-AM degradation by a microorganism. Here, Pseudomonas stutzeri CGMCC 22915 effectively degraded TFNA-AM to 5-trifluoromethylnicotinic acid (TFNA). P. stutzeri CGMCC 22915 degraded 60.0% of TFNA-AM (1154.44 μmol/L) within 6 h with a half-life of just 4.5 h. Moreover, P. stutzeri CGMCC 22915 significantly promoted TFNA-AM decomposition in surface water. The reaction was catalyzed by an amidase, PsAmiA. PsAmiA is encoded in a novel nitrile-converting enzyme gene cluster. The enzyme shared only 20-44% identities with previously characterized signature amidases. PsAmiA was successfully expressed in Escherichia coli and its enzymatic properties were investigated using TFNA-AM as the substrate. PsAmiA was more active toward amides without hydrophilic groups, and did not hydrolyze another amide metabolite of FLO, N-(4-trifluoromethylnicotinoyl)glycinamide (TFNG-AM), which is structurally very similar to TFNA-AM. Molecular docking of PsAmiA and TFNA-AM indicated that hydrophobic residues Leu148, Ala150, Ala195, Ile225, Trp341, Leu460, and Ile463 may affect its substrate spectrum. This study provides new insights of the environmental fate of FLO at the molecular level and the structure-function relationships of amidases.

Abstract
As a type of important and versatile biocatalyst, amidase immobilization on solid materials has received broad attention with its relatively easy procedure and available reusability. However, current porous supports have suffered from limited loadings, and it is highly desired to develop a new type of material with abundant space so as to ensure a high loading of amidase. Here, graphene oxide was adopted as the support for amidase immobilization, which showed the highest loading capacity for amidase (~3000 mg/g) to date. To the best of our knowledge, it is the first case of amidase immobilized on graphene oxide. Through surface modulation via reducing the contents of oxygen-containing functional groups, activity recovery of immobilized amidase increased from 67.8% to 85.3%. Moreover, surface-modulated graphene oxide can efficiently uptake amidase under a wide range of pH, and the maximum loading can reach ~3500 mg/g. The resultant biocomposites exhibit efficient biocatalytic performance for asymmetric synthesis of a chiral amino acid (i.e., L-4-fluorophenylglycine, an intermediate of aprepitant).

Abstract
The demand for natural food flavorings increases every year. Biotransformation has become an attractive approach to obtain natural products. In this work, enantiomerically pure (R)-(+)-δ-decalactone was obtained by reduction of the C=C double bond of natural massoia lactone in a continuous-flow reactor. Of 13 different ene-reductases isolated, purified and tested, OYE3 was found to be the most efficient biocatalyst. The selected biocatalyst, either in the form of purified enzyme, cell lysate, whole cells or immobilized cells, was tested in the batch system as well as in the packed-bed flow bioreactor. The biotransformation performed in batch mode, using Ca2+-alginate immobilized cells of Escherichia coli BL21(DE3)/pET30a-OYE3, furnished the desired product with complete conversion in 30 min. The process was intensified using a continuous-flow reactor-membrane filtration system (flow 0.1 mL/min, substrate concentration 10 mM, pH 7, 24 °C) with cell lysate as biocatalyst combined with a cofactor regeneration system, which allowed obtaining > 99% bioconversion of massoia lactone.

Abstract
A chemoenzymatic strategy was developed for the highly efficient synthesis of l-phosphinothricin employing a robust immobilized amidase. An enzymatic hydrolysis of 500 mM N-phenylacetyl-d,l-phosphinothricin resulted in 49.9% conversion and 99.9% ee of l-phosphinothricin within 6 h. To further evaluate the bioprocess for l-phosphinothricin production, the biotransformation was performed for 100 batches under a stirred tank reactor with an average productivity of 8.21 g L-1 h-1. Moreover, unreacted N-phenylacetyl-d-phosphinothricin was racemized and subjected to the enzymatic hydrolysis, giving l-phosphinothricin with a 22.3% yield. A total yield of 69.4% was achieved after one recycle of N-phenylacetyl-d-phosphinothricin. Significantly, this chemoenzymatic approach shows great potential in the industrial production of l-phosphinothricin.

Abstract
Amidases (EC 3. 5. 1. X) are versatile biocatalysts for synthesis of chiral carboxylic acids, α-amino acids and amides due to their hydrolytic and acyl transfer activity towards the C-N linkages. They have been extensively exploited and studied during the past years for their high specific activity and excellent enantioselectivity involved in various biotechnological applications in pharmaceutical and agrochemical industries. Additionally, they have attracted considerable attentions in biodegradation and bioremediation owing to environmental pressures. Motivated by industrial demands, crystallographic investigations and catalytic mechanisms of amidases based on structural biology have witnessed a dramatic promotion in the last two decades. The protein structures showed that different types of amidases have their typical stuctural elements, such as the conserved AS domains in signature amidases and the typical architecture of metal-associated active sites in acetamidase/formamidase family amidases. This review provides an overview of recent research advances in various amidases, with a focus on their structural basis of phylogenetics, substrate specificities and catalytic mechanisms as well as their biotechnological applications. As more crystal structures of amidases are determined, the structure/function relationships of these enzymes will also be further elucidated, which will facilitate molecular engineering and design of amidases to meet industrial requirements.

Abstract
In this study, the development of a rapid, high-throughput method for the selection of amide-hydrolysing enzymes from the metagenome is described. This method is based on uridine auxotrophic Escherichia coli strain DH10B ∆pyrFEC and the use of N4-benzoyl-2’-deoxycytidine as a sole source of uridine in the minimal microbial M9 medium. The approach described here permits the selection of unique biocatalysts, e.g., a novel amidohydrolase from the activating signal cointegrator homology (ASCH) family and a polyethylene terephthalate hydrolase (PETase)-related enzyme.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of the present study was to design nanocarriers for the topical application of rivastigmine. METHODS The effect of cosurfactants, hydrophilic gel and loading amount on the permeability of rivastigmine through rat skin was evaluated. Skin irritation tests and stability tests were performed to evaluate the utility of tested formulations. RESULTS The results showed that the microemulsion formation and characteristics of drug-loaded formulations were related to many parameters of the components. When using microemulsion systems as a vehicle, the permeation rate remarkably increased about 13.2~24.3-fold and the lag time was significantly shortened from 24 h to 4.7 h. Formulations containing a cosurfactant of Diethylene Glycol Monobutyl Ether (DEGBE) showed higher enhancement effect, while increasing the loading dose from 0.5% to 5% further increased the flux about 2.1-fold and shortened the lag time. CONCLUSION The drug-loaded experimental formulation did not cause skin irritation and had good stability at 20ºC and 40ºC storage for at least 3 months. The result showed that gel-based microemulsion formulation could be a promising approach for topical administration.

Abstract
BACKGROUND β-lactam antibiotics are the most used worldwide for the treatment of bacterial infections. The consumption of these classes of drugs is high, and it is increasing around the world. To date, the best way to produce them is using penicillin G Acylase (PGA) as a biocatalyst. OBJECTIVE This manuscript offers an overview of the most recent advances in the current tools to improve the activity of the PGA and its pharmaceutical application. RESULTS Several microorganisms produce PGA, but some bacterial strains represent the primary source of this enzyme. The activity of bacterial PGA depends on its adequate expression and carbon or nitrogen source, as well as a specific pH or temperature depending on the nature of the PGA. Additionally, the PGA activity can be enhanced by immobilizing it to a solid support to recycle it for a prolonged time. Likewise, PGAs more stable and with higher activity are obtained from bacterial hosts genetically modified. CONCLUSION PGA is used to produce b-lactam antibiotics. However, this enzyme has pharmaceutical potential to be used to obtain critical molecules for the synthesis of anti-tumor, antiplatelet, antiemetic, antidepressive, anti-retroviral, antioxidant, and antimutagenic drugs.

Abstract
L-phosphinothricin (L-PPT) is an important broad-spectrum herbicide with expanding utilization because it is environmentally benign. A strain Leclercia adecarboxylata ZJB-17008 with capability of catalyzing rac-4-(hydroxy(methyl)phosphoryl)-2-(2-phenylacetamido) butanoic acid (rac-S) to L-PPT was screened and identified, from which an amidase (La-Ami) was cloned and secretory expressed in Bacillus subtilis WB 800 for the bioproduction of L-PPT. The recombinant La-Ami exhibited an excellent enantioselectivity (99.9% ee) and remarkable thermostability with a half-life of 19.8 h at 50 °C. Furthermore, La-Ami displaying a high space-time yield of 787.2 g L-1 d-1 at 50 °C and pH 8.5 under the rac-S concentration of 500 mM (150 g L-1). The finally refined L-PPT was obtained with a purity of 99% and a total yield reached 90%. These results implying that this secretory expressed amidase La-Ami is possible to be applied in the large-scale bioproduction of L-PPT.
