Efficient glycosylation of polyphenols via dynamic complexation of cyclodextrin and synchronous coupling reaction with cyclodextrin glycosyltransferase in water. Int J Biol Macromol 2024:136065. [PMID: 39353521 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.136065] [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: 07/19/2024] [Revised: 09/09/2024] [Accepted: 09/25/2024] [Indexed: 10/04/2024]
Abstract
Glycosylation is an effective way to promote the total intake of polyphenols in humans by increasing the solubility of polyphenols. In this study, an efficient glycosylation system was built via the dynamic complexation of CD with polyphenols and synchronous coupling reaction with cyclodextrin glycosyltransferase (CGTase) in water. The glycosylation efficiencies of quercetin, naringenin, rutin, resveratrol and caffeic acid were 20.9, 3.6, 2.7, 3.4 and 1.5 times higher than the non-complexed system. To quantify conversion rate and determine the rate-limiting step, the mixed product was treated with amyloglucosidase to obtain α-glucosyl rutin, which was identified as rutin 4"-O-α-D-glucopyranoside with purity of 93.6 % and yield of 34.8 % from NMR, MS and HPLC analysis. The results of half-reaction kinetics showed that the catalytic efficiencies of ring-opening of γ-CD (k1) and glycosylation reaction of rutin (k2) were 621.92 and 9.43 mM-1·s-1. The rate-limiting step was clarified for the first time, showing that the ring-opening ability of CGTase to CD was much higher than its glycosylation ability to polyphenols. It is speculated that the rapid ring-opening reaction of CD affected its dynamic complexation, releasing many polyphenols which were not utilized by CGTase in time. Therefore, adjusting the ratio and concentration of CD resulted in an optimal glycosylation molar yield of 84.1 % for rutin, which was the highest yield reported so far in water. This study established a universal system and clarified the rate-limiting step in the enzymatic glycosylation, providing theoretical guidance for efficient production of polyphenol glycosylation.

Abstract
Continuous industrialization has raised daunting environmental concerns, and there is an urgent need to develop a sustainable strategy to tackle the contamination issues. Here, we report a supramolecular photoenzyme ensemble enabling the harvest of solar energy to remove contaminations in water. The well-sourced oxidoreductase, laccase, is confined into a photoactive hydrogen-bonded organic framework (PHOF) through an in situ encapsulation method. The direct electron migration between the oxidation center in a PHOF and the reduction center in laccase facilitates synergistic photoenzyme-coupled catalysis, showing two orders of magnitude higher activity than free laccase for pollutant degradation under visible light, without the need for sacrificial agents or costly co-mediators. Such high decontamination efficiency also surpasses the reported catalysts. The structure and decontamination function of this supramolecular photoenzyme ensemble remain highly stable in complex environment matrices, presenting desirable reusability and almost 100% conversion efficiency of pollutants for real sewage samples. Our conceptual photoenzyme hybrid catalyst offers important insights into green and sustainable water decontamination.

Abstract
Developing efficient technologies to eliminate or degrade contaminants is paramount for environmental protection. Biocatalytic decontamination offers distinct advantages in terms of selectivity and efficiency; however, it still remains challenging when applied in complex environmental matrices. The main challenge originates from the instability and difficult-to-separate attributes of fragile enzymes, which also results in issues of compromised activity, poor reusability, low cost-effectiveness, etc. One viable solution to harness biocatalysis in complex environments is known as enzyme immobilization, where a flexible enzyme is tightly fixed in a solid carrier. In the case where a reticular crystal is utilized as the support, it is feasible to engineer next-generation biohybrid catalysts functional in complicated environmental media. This can be interpreted by three aspects: (1) the highly crystalline skeleton can shield the immobilized enzyme against external stressors. (2) The porous network ensures the high accessibility of the interior enzyme for catalytic decontamination. And (3) the adjustable and unambiguous structure of the reticular framework favors in-depth understanding of the interfacial interaction between the framework and enzyme, which can in turn guide us in designing highly active biocomposites. This Review aims to introduce this emerging biocatalysis technology for environmental decontamination involving pollutant degradation and greenhouse gas (carbon dioxide) conversion, with emphasis on the enzyme immobilization protocols and diverse catalysis principles including single enzyme catalysis, catalysis involving enzyme cascades, and photoenzyme-coupled catalysis. Additionally, the remaining challenges and forward-looking directions in this field are discussed. We believe that this Review may offer a useful biocatalytic technology to contribute to environmental decontamination in a green and sustainable manner and will inspire more researchers at the intersection of the environment science, biochemistry, and materials science communities to co-solve environmental problems.

Abstract
In situ integration of enzymes with covalent organic frameworks (COFs) to form hybrid biocatalysts is both significant and challenging. In this study, we present an innovative strategy employing deep eutectic solvents (DESs) to synergistically synthesize COFs and shield cytochrome c (Cyt c). By utilizing DESs as reaction solvents in combination with water, we successfully achieved rapid and in situ encapsulation of Cyt c within COFs (specifically COF-TAPT-TFB) under ambient conditions. The resulting Cyt c@COF-TAPT-TFB composite demonstrates a remarkable preservation of enzymatic activity. This encapsulation strategy also imparts exceptional resistance to organic solvents and exhibits impressive recycling stability. Additionally, the enhanced catalytic efficiency of Cyt c@COF-TAPT-TFB in a photoenzymatic cascade reaction is also showcased.

Abstract
Programmable artificial photosynthetic cell is the ultimate goal for mimicking natural photosynthesis, offering tunable product selectivity via reductase selection toward device integration. However, this concept is limited by the capacity of regenerating the multiple cofactors that hold the key to various reductases. Here, we report the design of artificial photosynthetic cells using biotic-abiotic thylakoid-CdTe as hybrid energy modules. The rational integration of thylakoid with CdTe quantum dots substantially enhances the regeneration of bioactive NADPH, NADH and ATP cofactors without external supplements by promoting proton-coupled electron transfer. Particularly, this approach turns thylakoid highly active for NADH regeneration, providing a more versatile platform for programming artificial photosynthetic cells. Such artificial photosynthetic cells can be programmed by coupling with diverse reductases, such as formate dehydrogenase and remodeled nitrogenase for highly selective production of formate or methane, respectively. This work opens an avenue for customizing artificial photosynthetic cells toward multifarious demands for CO2 conversion.

Abstract
Efficient and cost-effective conversion of CO2 to biomass holds the potential to address the climate crisis. Light-driven CO2 conversion can be realized by combining inorganic semiconductors with enzymes or cells. However, designing enzyme cascades for converting CO2 to multicarbon compounds is challenging, and inorganic semiconductors often possess cytotoxicity. Therefore, there is a critical need for a straightforward semiconductor biohybrid system for CO2 conversion. Here, we used a visible-light-responsive and biocompatible C3N4 porous nanosheet, decorated with formate dehydrogenase, formaldehyde dehydrogenase, and alcohol dehydrogenase to establish an enzyme-photocoupled catalytic system, which showed a remarkable CO2-to-methanol conversion efficiency with an apparent quantum efficiency of 2.48% in the absence of externally added electron mediator. To further enable the in situ transformation of methanol into biomass, the enzymes were displayed on the surface of Komagataella phaffii, which was further coupled with C3N4 to create an organic semiconductor-enzyme-cell hybrid system. Methanol was produced through enzyme-photocoupled CO2 reduction, achieving a rate of 4.07 mg/(L·h), comparable with reported rates from photocatalytic systems employing mediators or photoelectrochemical cells. The produced methanol can subsequently be transported into the cell and converted into biomass. This work presents a sustainable, environmentally friendly, and cost-effective enzyme-photocoupled biocatalytic system for efficient solar-driven conversion of CO2 within a microbial cell.

Abstract
Biomass and biomass-derived compounds have become an important alternative feedstock for chemical industry. They may replace fossil feedstocks such as mineral oil and related platform chemicals. These compounds may also be transformed conveniently into new innovative products for the medicinal or the agrochemical domain. The production of cosmetics or surfactants as well as materials for different applications are examples for other domains where new platform chemicals obtained from biomass can be used. Photochemical and especially photocatalytic reactions have recently been recognized as being important tools of organic chemistry as they make compounds or compound families available that cannot be or are difficultly synthesized with conventional methods of organic synthesis. The present review gives a short overview with selected examples on photocatalytic reactions of biopolymers, carbohydrates, fatty acids and some biomass-derived platform chemicals such as furans or levoglucosenone. In this article, the focus is on application to organic synthesis.

Abstract
In recent years, photocatalytic reactions have shown great potential in degrading organic pollutants because of their simple operation and no secondary pollution. Graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) is one of the most frequently used photocatalyst materials in the field of photocatalysis because it is a form of photocatalytic material with facile synthesis, no metal, visible light response, and strong stability. Enzyme-catalyzed degradation has received extensive attention due to its broad selectivity, high efficiency, and environmental friendliness. Horseradish peroxidase (HRP), one of several oxidoreductases utilized for pollutant degradation, has a wide range of applications due to its mild reaction conditions and high stability. Exploring efficient platforms for immobilizing g-C3N4 and HRP to develop photo-enzyme-coupled catalysis is an attractive practical topic. The coupling effect of g-C3N4 and HRP improves the carrier separation efficiency and generates more active species, which finally realize the solar-driven non-selective destruction of organic pollutants. We describe the alteration of g-C3N4 and the immobilization of HRP in detail in this study, and we outline recent developments in the photo-enzyme coupling of g-C3N4 and HRP.

[PMID: 38647643 PMCID: PMC10992411 DOI: 10.1186/s40643-022-00615-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/03/2022] [Accepted: 11/27/2022] [Indexed: 12/07/2022] Open
Abstract
Environmental problems such as greenhouse effect, the consumption of fossil energy, and the increase of human demand for energy are becoming more and more serious, which force researcher to turn their attention to the reduction of CO2 and the development of renewable energy. Unsafety, easy to lead to secondary environmental pollution, cost inefficiency, and other problems limit the development of conventional CO2 capture technology. In recent years, many microorganisms have attracted much attention to capture CO2 and synthesize valuable products directly. Fatty acid derivatives (e.g., fatty acid esters, fatty alcohols, and aliphatic hydrocarbons), which can be used as a kind of environmentally friendly and renewable biofuels, are sustainable substitutes for fossil energy. In this review, conventional CO2 capture techniques pathways, microbial CO2 concentration mechanisms and fixation pathways were introduced. Then, the metabolic pathway and progress of direct production of fatty acid derivatives from CO2 in microbial cell factories were discussed. The synthetic biology means used to design engineering microorganisms and optimize their metabolic pathways were depicted, with final discussion on the potential of optoelectronic-microbial integrated capture and production systems.

Abstract
Micro/nano biomimetic systems that convert energy from the surroundings into mechanical motion have emerged as promising tools to enhance the efficiencies of different biomedical and environmental processes. The inclusion of multiple engines into the same device has become a promising strategy to achieve dual/triple stimuli responses. Such hybrid micro/nanoswimmers combining different propulsion forces exhibit advanced motion behaviors and different physical features that are interesting not only to achieve strong propulsion capabilities in complex environments but also to modulate their movement according to the intended use. The development of hybrid systems that can be actuated by both light and biocompatible fuels is of particular interest. This minireview covers the main types of photoactive/biocatalytic micro/nanoswimmers developed so far. Their main photoresponsive and enzymatic components are discussed along with the most representative designs. The applicability of such hybrid machines for analyte sensing, antibacterial and therapeutical uses are also described. The remaining challenges and opportunities are then explored.
