Abstract
GH19 (glycoside hydrolase 19) chitinases play crucial roles in the enzymatic conversion of chitin and biocontrol of phytopathogenic fungi. Herein, a novel multifunctional chitinase of GH19 (CaChi19A), which contains three chitin-binding domains (ChBDs), was successfully cloned from Chitinilyticum aquatile CSC-1 and heterologously expressed in Escherichia coli. We also generated truncated mutants of CaChi19A_ΔI, CaChi19A_ΔIΔII, and CaChi19A_CatD consisting of two ChBDs and a catalytic domain, one ChBD and a catalytic domain, and only a catalytic domain, respectively. CaChi19A, CaChi19A_ΔI, CaChi19A_ΔIΔII, and CaChi19A_CatD exhibited cold adaptation, as their relative enzyme activities at 5 °C were 40.7, 51.6, 66.2, and 82.6%, respectively. Compared with CaChi19A and other variants, CaChi19A_ΔIΔII demonstrated a higher level of stability below 50 °C and retained relatively high activity over a wide pH range of 5-12. Analysis of the hydrolysis products revealed that CaChi19A and CaChi19A_ΔIΔII exhibit exoacting, endoacting, and N-acetyl-β-d-glucosaminidase activities toward colloidal chitin. Furthermore, CaChi19A and CaChi19A_ΔIΔII exhibited inhibitory effects on the hyphal growth of Fusarium oxysporum, Fusarium redolens, Fusarium fujikuroi, Fusarium solani, and Coniothyrium diplodiella, thereby illustrating effective biocontrol activity. These results indicated that CaChi19A and CaChi19A_ΔIΔII show advantages in some applications where low temperatures were demanded in industries as well as the biocontrol of fungal diseases in agriculture.

Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 259:129063. [PMID: 38159710 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.129063] [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: 10/28/2023] [Revised: 12/21/2023] [Accepted: 12/25/2023] [Indexed: 01/03/2024]
Abstract
In order to better utilize chitinolytic enzymes to produce high-value N-acetyl-D-glucosamine (GlcNAc) from chitinous waste, there is an urgent need to explore bi-functional chitinases with exceptional properties of temperature, pH and metal tolerance. In this study, we cloned and characterized a novel bi-functional cold-adaptive chitinase called CaChi18A from a newly isolated strain, Chitinilyticum aquatile CSC-1, in Bama longevity village of Guangxi Province, China. The activity of CaChi18A at 50 °C was 4.07 U/mg. However, it exhibited significant catalytic activity even at 5 °C. Its truncated variant CaChi18A_ΔChBDs, containing only catalytic domain, demonstrated significant activity levels, exceeding 40 %, over a temperature range of 5-60 °C and a pH range of 3 to 10. It was noteworthy that it displayed tolerance towards most metal ions at a final concentration of 0.1 mM, including Fe3+ and Cu2+ ions, retaining 122.52 ± 0.17 % and 116.42 ± 1.52 % activity, respectively. Additionally, it exhibited favorable tolerance towards organic solvents with the exception of formic acid. Interestedly, CaChi18A and CaChi18A_ΔChBDs had a low Km value towards colloidal chitin (CC), 0.94 mg mL-1 and 2.13 mg mL-1, respectively. Both enzymes exhibited chitobiosidase and N-acetyl-D-glucosaminidase activities, producing GlcNAc as the primary product when hydrolyzing CC. The high activities across a broader temperature and pH range, strong environmental adaptability, and hydrolytic properties of CaChi18A_ΔChBDs suggested that it could be a promising candidate for GlcNAc production.

Abstract
The enzymatic degradation of different chitin polymers into chitin oligosaccharides (COSs) is of great significance given their better solubility and various biological applications. Chitinase plays a pivotal role in the enzymatic preparation of COSs. Herein, a cold-adapted and efficient chitinase (ChiTg) from the marine Trichoderma gamsii R1 was purified and characterized. The optimal temperature of ChiTg was 40 °C, and the relative activity at 5 °C was above 40.1%. Meanwhile, ChiTg was active and stable from pH 4.0 to 7.0. As an endo-type chitinase, ChiTg exhibited the highest activity with colloidal chitin, then with ball-milled and powdery chitin. In addition, ChiTg showed high efficiency when hydrolyzing colloidal chitin at different temperatures, and the end products were mainly composed of COSs with one to three degrees of polymerization. Furthermore, the results of bioinformatics analysis revealed that ChiTg belongs to the GH18 family, and its acidic surface and the flexible structure of its catalytic site may contribute to its high activity in cold conditions. The results of this study provide a cold-active and efficient chitinase and ideas for its application regarding the preparation of COSs from colloidal chitin.

Abstract
Chitin, the second most abundant biopolymer on earth after cellulose, is composed of β-1,4-N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) units. It is widely distributed in nature, especially as a structural polysaccharide in the cell walls of fungi, the exoskeletons of crustaceans, insects, and nematodes. However, the principal commercial source of chitin is the shells of marine or freshwater invertebrates. Microbial chitinases are largely responsible for chitin breakdown in nature, and they play an important role in the ecosystem's carbon and nitrogen balance. Several microbial chitinases have been characterized and are gaining prominence for their applications in various sectors. The current review focuses on chitinases of microbial origin, their diversity, and their characteristics. The applications of chitinases in several industries such as agriculture, food, the environment, and pharmaceutical sectors are also highlighted.

Abstract
Background Chitinases are enzymes which degrade β-1,4-glycosidid linkages in chitin. The enzymatic degradation of shellfish waste (containing chitin) to chitooligosaccharides is used in industrial applications to generate high-value-added products from such waste. However, chitinases are currently produced with low efficiency and poor tolerance, limiting the industrial utility. Therefore, identifying chitinases with higher enzymatic activity and tolerance is of great importance. Methods Primers were designed using the genomic database of Paenibacillus chitinolyticus NBRC 15660. An exochitinase (CHI) was cloned into the recombinant plasmid pET-22b (+) to form pET-22b (+)-CHI, which was transformed into Escherichia coli TOP10 to construct a genomic library. Transformation was confirmed by colony-polymerase chain reaction and electrophoresis. The target sequence was verified by sequencing. Recombinant pET-22b (+)-CHI was transformed into E. coli Rosetta-gami B (DE3) for expression of chitinase. Recombinant protein was purified by Ni-NTA affinity chromatography and enzymatic analysis was carried out. Results The exochitinase CHI from P. chitinolyticus strain UMBR 0002 was successfully cloned and heterologously expressed in E. coli Rosetta-gami B (DE3). Purification yielded a 13.36-fold enrichment and recovery yield of 72.20%. The purified enzyme had a specific activity of 750.64 mU mg-1. The optimum pH and temperature for degradation of colloidal chitin were 5.0 and 45 °C, respectively. The enzyme showed high stability, retaining >70% activity at pH 4.0-10.0 and 25-45 °C (maximum of 90 min). The activity of CHI strongly increased with the addition of Ca2+, Mn2+, Tween 80 and urea. Conversely, Cu2+, Fe3+, acetic acid, isoamyl alcohol, sodium dodecyl sulfate and β-mercaptoethanol significantly inhibited enzyme activity. The oligosaccharides produced by CHI from colloidal chitin exhibited a degree of polymerization, forming N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) and (GlcNAc)2 as products. Conclusions This is the first report of the cloning, heterologous expression and purification of a chitinase from P. chitinolyticus strain UMBR 0002. The results highlight CHI as a good candidate enzyme for green degradation of chitinous waste.

Abstract
The extreme weather conditions in the Antarctic have exerted selective pressures favoring differential features in bacteria to survive this untapped environment (i.e., antibiotic molecules). Notably, higher chances of antibiotic discovery from extremophiles have been proposed recently. Althoughnew organic and environmentally friendly sources for helping in the control of plant pathogenic fungi are necessary, the information about anti-phytopathogenic applications of extremophile microorganisms from untapped environments is limited. In this study, we determined the antifungal effect of actinobacterial strains isolated from Antarctic soils and sediments. Co-culture inhibition assays and Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) determination revealed that all Antarctic strains (x28) can inhibit the growth of at least one phytopathogenic fungi including Fusarium oxysporum,Rhizoctonia solani,Botrytissp. and Phytophthora infestans. Additionally, new novel antagonistic relationships are reported. Our work establishes a precedent on Antarctic actinobacteria strains with the capacity to produce antifungal compounds, and its potential for developing new fungicides or biocontrol agents solving current agriculture problems.

Abstract
Chitinase, as one of the most important extracellular enzymes in the marine environment, has great ecological and applied values. In this study, two chitinases (Chi1557 and Chi4668) with 97.33% amino acid sequences identity were individually found in Vibrio rotiferianus and Vibrio harveyi. They both were encoding by 561 amino acids, but differed in 15 amino acids and showed different enzymatic properties. The optimal temperature and pH ranges were 45-50 °C and pH 5.0-7.0 for Chi1557, while ~50 °C and pH 3.0-6.0 for Chi4668. K+, Mg2+, and EDTA increased the enzymatic activity of Chi4668 significantly, yet these factors were inhibitory to Chi1557. Moreover, Chi1557 degraded colloidal chitin to produce (GlcNAc)2 and minor GlcNAc, whereas Chi4668 produce (GlcNAc)2 with minor (GlcNAc)3 and (GlcNAc)4. The Kcat/Km of Chi4668 was ~4.7 times higher than that of Chi1557, indicating that Chi4668 had stronger catalytic activity than Chi1557. Furthermore, site-directed mutagenesis was performed on Chi1557 focusing on seven conserved amino acid residues of family GH18 chitinases. Chi1557 was almost completely inactive after Glu154, Gln219, Tyr221, or Trp312 was individually mutated, retained ~50% activity after Tyr37 was mutated, and increased two times activity after Asp152 was mutated, indicating that these six amino acids were key sites for Chi1557.

Abstract
The psychrotolerant Pseudoalteromonas issachenkonii PAMC 22718 was isolated for its high exo-acting chitinase activity in the Kara Sea, Arctic. An exo-acting chitinase (W-Chi22718) was homogeneously purified from the culture supernatant of PAMC 22718, the molecular weight of which was estimated to be approximately 112 kDa. Due to its β-N-acetylglucosaminidase activity, W-Chi22718 was able to produce N-acetyl-D-glucosamine (GlcNAc) monomers from chitin oligosaccharide substrates. W-Chi22718 displayed chitinase activity from 0 to 37°C (optimal temperature of 30°C) and maintained activity from pH 6.0 to 9.0 (optimal pH of 7.6). W-Chi22718 exhibited a relative activity of 13 and 35% of maximal activity at 0 and 10°C, respectively, which is comparable to the activities of previously characterized, cold-adapted bacterial chitinases. W-Chi22718 activity was enhanced by K+, Ca2+, and Fe2+, but completely inhibited by Cu2+ and SDS. We found that W-Chi22718 can produce much more (GlcNAcs) from colloidal chitin, working together with previously characterized cold-active endochitinase W-Chi21702. Genome sequencing revealed that the corresponding gene (chi22718_IV) was 2,856 bp encoding a 951 amino acid protein with a calculated molecular weight of approximately 102 kDa.

Abstract
An extracellular acido-thermostable endo-chitinase (called ChiA-Hh59) from thermophilic Hydrogenophilus hirschii strain KB-DZ44, was purified and characterized. The maximum chitinase activity recorded after 36-h of incubation at 60°C was 3000U/ml. Pure enzyme was obtained after heat and acidic treatment, precipitation by ammonium sulphate and acetone, respectively, followed by sequential column chromatographies on Sephacryl S-200 and Mono Q-Sepharose. Based on Matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF/MS) analysis, the purified enzyme is a monomer with a molecular mass of 59103.12-Da. The 22 residue NH2-terminal sequence of the enzyme showed high homology with family-18 bacterial chitinases. The optimum pH and temperature values for chitinase activity were pH 5.0 and 85°C, respectively. The pure enzyme was completely inhibited by p-chloromercuribenzoic acid (p-CMB) and N-ethylmaleimide (NEM). The obtained results suggest that ChiA-Hh59 might be an endo-chitinase. The studied chitinase exhibited high activity towards colloidal chitin, chitin azure, glycol chitin, while it did not hydrolyse chitibiose and amylose. Its Km and kcat values were 0.298mg colloidal chitin/ml and 14400s-1, respectively. Its catalytic efficiency was higher than those of chitodextrinase and ChiA-65. Additionally, Thin-layer chromatography (TLC) analysis from chitin-oligosaccharides showed that ChiA-Hh59 acted as an endo-splitting enzyme. In conclusion, this chitinase may have great potential for the enzymatic degradation of chitin.

Abstract
In this study, a novel psychrotolerant chitinolytic bacterium Pedobacter sp. PR-M6 that displayed strong chitinolytic activity on 0.5% colloidal chitin was isolated from the soil of a decayed mushroom. Chitinase activity of PR-M6 at 25 °C (C25) after 6 days of incubation with colloidal chitin increased rapidly to a maximum level (31.3 U/mg proteins). Three chitinase isozymes (chiII, chiIII, and chiIV) from the crude enzyme at 25 °C (C25) incubation were expressed on SDS-PAGE gels at 25 °C. After purification by chitin-affinity chromatography, six chitinase isozymes (chiI, chiII, chiIII, chiIV, chiV, and chiVI) from C25-fractions were expressed on SDS-PAGE gels at 25 °C. Major bands of chitinase isozymes (chiI, chiII, and chiIII) from C4-fractions were strongly expressed on SDS-PAGE gels at 25 °C. Pedobacter sp. PR-M6 showed high inhibition rate of 60.9% and 57.5% against Rhizoctonia solani and Botrytis cinerea, respectively. These results indicated that psychrotolerant Pedobacter sp. PR-M6 could be applied widely as a microorganism agent for the biocontrol of agricultural phytopathogens at low temperatures.

Abstract
The diversity of culturable, cold-active enzymes producing Bacilli was investigated from three sub-glacial lakes of north western Indian Himalayas. Amplified ribosomal DNA restriction analysis (ARDRA) using three restriction enzymes Alu I, Msp I, and Hae III led to the clustering of 136 Bacilli into 26, 23, and 22 clusters at 75% similarity index from Chandratal Lake, Dashair Lake, and Pangong Lake, respectively. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequencing led to the identification of 35 Bacilli that could be grouped in seven families viz.: Bacillaceae (48%), Staphylococcaceae (14%), Bacillales incertae sedis (13%), Planococcaceae (12%), Paenibacillaceae (9%), Sporolactobacillaceae (3%), and Carnobacteriaceae (1%), which included twelve different genera Bacillus, Desemzia, Exiguobacterium, Jeotgalicoccus, Lysinibacillus, Paenibacillus, Planococcus, Pontibacillus, Sinobaca, Sporosarcina, Staphylococcus, and Virgibacillus. Based on their optimal temperature for growth, 35 Bacilli were grouped as psychrophilic (11 strains), psychrotrophic (17 strains), or psychrotolerant (7 strains), respectively. The representative isolates from each cluster were screened for cold-active enzyme activities. Amylase, β-glucosidase, pectinase, and protease activities at 4 °C were detected in more than 80% of the strains while approximately 40, 31, 23, 14, 11, and 9% of strains possessed cellulase, xylanase, β-galactosidase, laccase, chitinase, and lipase activity, respectively. Among 35 Bacilli, Bacillus amyloliquefaciens, Bacillus marisflavi, Exiguobacterium indicum, Paenibacillus terrae, Pontibacillus sp., Sporosarcina globispora, and Sporosarcina psychrophila were efficient producers of different cold-active enzymes. These cold-adapted Bacilli could play an important role in industrial and agricultural processes.

Abstract
The root-knot nematodes, Meloidogyne spp., cause serious diseases in various plants and their chemical control may lead to environmental problems. Therefore, alternative control measures against the phytopathogenic nematodes are being sought. One of the potential targets against Meloidogyne spp. may be the chitinolysis and degradation of nematode eggs. Therefore, in the present study, a chitinolytic and nematicidal strain of Lysobacter capsici YS1215 was isolated from an agricultural field in Korea. The aim of this study was to purify chitinase secreted by L. capsici YS1215 and investigate its nematicidal role against Meloidogyne incognita. The chitinase secreted by L. capsici YS1215 was purified by protein precipitation with 80% ammonium sulphate, anion-exchange chromatography with DEAE-cellulose and gel-filtration chromatography with Sephadex G-100. By chitinase-active staining of the purified enzyme, a single band was obtained with an estimated molecular mass of 43.6 kDa. The optimal pH and optimal temperature for the highest chitinase activity were 6.0 and 40°C, respectively. The purified chitinase degraded the chitin layer of the eggshells and significantly reduced hatch of second-stage juveniles. The activity of chitinase secreted by L. capsici YS1215 was not affected by CoCl2, MnCl2, MgCl2, CuSO4, CaCl2 or EDTA. The purified enzyme could also hydrolyse swollen chitin, glycol chitin, glycol chitosan and chitin powder. Thus, the role of chitinase secreted by L. capsici YS1215 against Meloidogyne spp. may be useful for further development of a biocontrol agent.

Abstract
This paper provides a review of the latest research findings on the applications of microbial chitinases to biological control. Microorganisms producing these enzymes can inhibit the growth of many fungal diseases that pose a serious threat to global crop production. Currently, efforts are being made to discover producers of chitinolytic enzymes. The potential exists that natural biofungicides will replace chemical fungicides or will be used to supplement currently used fungicides, which would reduce the negative impact of chemicals on the environment and support the sustainable development of agriculture and forestry.

Abstract
An endochitinase was previously purified and the gene was cloned from the psychrophilic Antarctic bacterium, Sanguibacter antarcticus (KCTC 13143). In the present study, recombinant endochitinase, rChi21702, was expressed using a yeast expression system (Pichia pastoris) and codon optimization. The expressed rChi21702 was purified by Phenyl-Sepharose column chromatography. Optimal expression yielded 1-mg purified enzyme from 1-L bioreactor culture. When p-NP-(GlcNAc)(2) was used as a substrate, the specific activity of the enzyme was determined to be 20U/mg. In vitro assays and thin-layer chromatography demonstrated that the recombinant enzyme has endochitinase activity that produces diacetyl-chitobiose as a dominant end product when chitooligomers, colloidal chitin, and the chromogenic p-NP-(GlcNAc)(2) are used as substrates. Optimal activity for rChi21702 was observed at 37 degrees C and a pH of 7.6. Interestingly, rChi21702 exhibited 63% of optimal activity at 10 degrees C and 44% activity at 0 degrees C. Taken together, the results indicate that rChi21702 has psychrotolerant endochitinase activity even after recombinant expression in yeast cells.
