Abstract
A major cellobiohydrolase of Neurospora crassa CBH2 was successfully expressed in Pichia pastoris. The maximum Avicelase activity in shake flask among seven transformants which selected on 4.0 g/L G418 plates was 0.61 U/mL. The optimal pH and temperature for Avicelase activity of the recombinant CBH2 were determined to be 4.8 and 60 °C, respectively. The new CBH2 maintained 63.5 % Avicelase activity in the range of pH 4.0-10.4, and 60.2 % Avicelase activity in the range of 30-90 °C. After incubation at 70-90 °C for 1 h, the Avicelase activity retained 60.5 % of its initial activity. The presence of Zn2+, Ca2+ or Cd2+ enhanced the Avicelase activity of the CBH2, of which Cd2+ at 10 mM causing the highest increase. The recombinant CBH2 was used to enhance the Avicel hydrolysis by improving the exo-exo-synergism between CBH2 and CBH1 in N.crassa cellulase. The enzymatic hydrolysis yield was increased by 38.1 % by adding recombinant CBH2 and CBH1, and the yield was increased by 215.4 % when the temperature is raised to 70 °C. This work provided a CBH2 with broader pH range and better heat resistance, which is a potential enzyme candidate in food, textile, pulp and paper industries, and other industrial fields.

Abstract
The complete degradation of abundant xylan derived from plants requires the participation of β-xylosidases to produce the xylose which can be converted to xylitol, ethanol, and other valuable chemicals. Some phytochemicals can also be hydrolyzed by β-xylosidases into bioactive substances, such as ginsenosides, 10-deacetyltaxol, cycloastragenol, and anthocyanidins. On the contrary, some hydroxyl-containing substances such as alcohols, sugars, and phenols can be xylosylated by β-xylosidases into new chemicals such as alkyl xylosides, oligosaccharides, and xylosylated phenols. Thus, β-xylosidases shows great application prospects in food, brewing, and pharmaceutical industries. This review focuses on the molecular structures, biochemical properties, and bioactive substance transformation function of β-xylosidases derived from bacteria, fungi, actinomycetes, and metagenomes. The molecular mechanisms of β-xylosidases related to the properties and functions are also discussed. This review will serve as a reference for the engineering and application of β-xylosidases in food, brewing, and pharmaceutical industries.

[PMID: 35131955 PMCID: PMC9628812 DOI: 10.4014/jmb.2111.11020] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/11/2021] [Revised: 02/03/2022] [Accepted: 02/08/2022] [Indexed: 12/15/2022]
Abstract
Notoginsenoside R1 and ginsenoside Rg1 are the main active ingredients of Panax notoginseng, exhibiting anti-fatigue, anti-tumor, anti-inflammatory, and other activities. In a previous study, a GH39 β-xylosidase Xln-DT was responsible for the bioconversion of saponin, a natural active substance with a xylose group, with high selectivity for cleaving the outer xylose moiety of notoginsenoside R1 at the C-6 position, producing ginsenoside Rg1 with potent anti-fatigue activity. The optimal bioconversion temperature, pH, and enzyme dosage were obtained by optimizing the transformation conditions. Under optimal conditions (pH 6.0, 75°C, enzyme dosage 1.0 U/ml), 1.0 g/l of notoginsenoside R1 was converted into 0.86 g/l of ginsenoside Rg1 within 30 min, with a molar conversion rate of approximately 100%. Furthermore, the in vivo anti-fatigue activity of notoginsenoside R1 and ginsenoside Rg1 were compared using a suitable rat model. Compared with the control group, the forced swimming time to exhaustion was prolonged in mice by 17.3% in the Rg1 high group (20 mg/kg·d). Additionally, the levels of hepatic glycogen (69.9-83.3% increase) and muscle glycogen (36.9-93.6% increase) were increased. In the Rg1 group, hemoglobin levels were also distinctly increased by treatment concentrations. Our findings indicate that treatment with ginsenoside Rg1 enhances the anti-fatigue effects. In this study, we reveal a GH39 β-xylosidase displaying excellent hydrolytic activity to produce ginsenoside Rg1 in the pharmaceutical and food industries.

Abstract
Yeast isolates from flowers and fruits from a Brazilian forest were studied. The yeasts were identified at species and strain level by PCR-RFLP and PCR-RAPD, respectively. The 46 isolated yeasts were classified into 11 different species belonging to the genera Candida, Diutina, Hanseniaspora, Meyerozyma, Pichia, Rhodotorula, and Torulaspora. A total of 20 different strains were found. In order to ascertain the probiotic potential, the resistance to gastrointestinal conditions, autoaggregation, and hydrophobicity assays were studied, along with the capacity to form biofilm. The results indicate that, although most of the strains presented better results than Saccharomyces boulardii (the only strain recognized as a probiotic yeast), four strains were the most promising, namely, Rhodotorula mucilaginosa 32, Meyerozyma caribbica 35, and Diutina rugosa 12 and 45, according to the Duncan test. Several biotechnological properties were evaluated. D. rugosa inhibited Dekkera bruxellensis. The assimilation or fermentation of seven sugars was tested, and only five of the yeasts did not show a capacity to assimilate any of the sugars under aerobic conditions. However, all strains were able to ferment at least one of the sugars under anaerobic conditions. As far as enzyme production is concerned, positive results were only found for the enzymes' amylase, pectinase, and protease. D. rugosa 42 and Hanseniaspora opuntiae 18, followed of Pichia kluyveri 26, showed high values for the production of melatonin. In conclusion, the results of this study show that several non-Saccharomyces present probiotic characteristics, and these have good potential for industrial applications in the food or biotechnology industries.

Abstract
A novel β-xylosidase Dt-2286 from Dictyoglomus turgidum was cloned and overexpressed in Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3). Dt-2286 belonging to glycoside hydrolase (GH) family 3 encodes a polypeptide with 762 amino acid residues with a molecular weight of 85.1 kDa. By optimization of the growth and induction conditions, the activity of β-xylosidase reached 273 U/mL, which is the highest yield reported to date from E. coli in a shake-flask. The optimal activities of the purified Dt-2286 were found at pH 5.0 and 98 °C. It also shows excellent thermostable/haloduric/organic solvent-tolerance. Dt-2286 was revealed to be a multifunctional enzyme with β-xylosidase, α-arabinofuranoside, α-arabinopyranoside and β-glucosidase activities, and Kcat/Km was 5245.316 mM-1 s-1, 2077.353 mM-1 s-1, 1626.454 mM-1 s-1, and 470.432 mM-1 s-1 respectively. Dt-2286 showed significant synergistic effects on the degradation of xylans, releasing more reduced sugars (up to 15.08 fold) by simultaneous addition with endoxylanase. Moreover, this enzyme has good activity in the hydrolysis of epimedium B, demonstrating its versatility in practical applications.

Abstract
Neurospora crassa possesses six putative xylanases and four putative xylosidases. qRT-PCR results showed that the expression of all these xylanolytic enzymes was induced by xylan. Except for two intracellular β-xylosidases, others were shown to be secreted enzymes based on the localization analysis of EGFP-fusion proteins. Among them, GH10-1, GH10-2, GH11-1, and GH11-2 were successfully expressed and characterized as typical endo-β-1,4-xylanases that hydrolyze the xylooligosaccharides with a polymeric degree not less than three or four. Strains deleted for either gh10-1, gh10-2, gh3-7, or gh3-8 displayed decreased growth in xylan and biomass media. Disruption of gh3-7 or gh43-1 resulted in enhanced-xylanolytic enzyme activity when cultivated in biomass medium. Collectively, these results suggest that xylooligosaccharides released by the actions of xylanases and xylosidases not only serve as the carbon sources to maintain the growth of N. crassa, but they also act as inducers to trigger the expression of hydrolytic enzymes in vivo.

β-Xylosidases: Structural Diversity, Catalytic Mechanism, and Inhibition by Monosaccharides. Int J Mol Sci 2019; 20:ijms20225524.

Abstract
Xylan, a prominent component of cellulosic biomass, has a high potential for degradation into reducing sugars, and subsequent conversion into bioethanol. This process requires a range of xylanolytic enzymes. Among them, β-xylosidases are crucial, because they hydrolyze more glycosidic bonds than any of the other xylanolytic enzymes. They also enhance the efficiency of the process by degrading xylooligosaccharides, which are potent inhibitors of other hemicellulose-/xylan-converting enzymes. On the other hand, the β-xylosidase itself is also inhibited by monosaccharides that may be generated in high concentrations during the saccharification process. Structurally, β-xylosidases are diverse enzymes with different substrate specificities and enzyme mechanisms. Here, we review the structural diversity and catalytic mechanisms of β-xylosidases, and discuss their inhibition by monosaccharides.

Abstract
With the aim of finding an extracellular biocatalyst that can efficiently remove the C-7 xylose group from 10-deacetyl-7-xylosltaxol, a Dictyoglomus turgidum β-xylosidase was cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3). The molecular mass of purified Dt-Xyl3 was approximately 84 kDa. The recombinant Dt-Xyl3 was most active at pH 5.0 and 75 °C, retaining 88% activity at 65 °C for 1 h, and displaying excellent stability over pH 4.0-7.5 for 24 h. In terms of kinetic parameters, the Km and Vmax values for pNPX were 0.8316 mM and 5.0178 μmol/mL·min, respectively. Moreover, Dt-Xyl3 was activated by Mn2+ and Ba2+ and inhibited by Cu2+, Ni+ and Al3+. In particular, it displayed high tolerance to salts with 60.8% activity in 20% (w/v) NaCl. Ethanol and methanol at 5-15% showed little effect on the enzymatic activity. Dt-Xyl3 demonstrated multifunctional activities followed by pNPX, pNPAraf and pNPG and had a high selectivity for cleaving the outer xylose moieties of 10-deacetyl-7-xylosltaxol with Kcat/Km 110.87 s-1/mM, which produced 10-deacetyl-taxol to semi-synthesize paclitaxel. Under the optimized conditions (60 °C, pH 4.5, enzyme dosage of 0.5 U/mL), 1 g of 10-deacetyl-7-xylosltaxol was transformed to its corresponding aglycone 10-deacetyl-taxol within 30 min, with a molar conversion of 98%. This is the first report that Dictyoglomus turgidum can produce extracellular GH3 β-xylosidase with highly specific activity for 10-deacetyl-7-xylosltaxol biotransformation, thus leading to the application of β-xylosidase Dt-Xyl3 as a biocatalyst in biopharmaceutics.

Abstract
The high production cost of cellulase is one of the limitations that hinder the commercialization of lignocellulose-based biorefineries. As one of the important cellulases, Neurospora crassa cellulase is not so intensively investigated as T. reesei cellulase. In this study, the cbh1gene (NCU07340) cloned from N. crassa was expressed in Pichia pastoris under the control of alcohol oxidase 1 (AOX1) promotor. Six transformants with the highest resistance to G418 were selected by two rounds of transformant screening, among which the most robust producer of the recombinant cellobiohydrolase I (CBHI) has an Avicelase activity of 0.22 U/mL. After fermentation optimization, it was improved to 0.30 U/mL. Interestingly, the optimal temperature and pH of the recombinant CBHI were 60°C and 7.2, respectively, and it was quite stable within the wide ranges of temperature and pH. This work is a good example for the future improvement and optimization of N. crassa cellulase.

Abstract
The early-lineage, aerobic, zoosporic fungi from the Chytridiomycota constitute less than 1% of the described fungi and can use diverse sources of nutrition from plant or animal products. One of the ancestral sources of fungal nutrition could be products following enzymatic degradation of plant material. However, carbohydrate-active enzymes from these ancient fungi have been less studied. A GH11 xylanase (RrXyn11A) (EC 3.2.1.8) and a GH43 xylosidase (RrXyl43A) (EC 3.2.1.37) were identified from an early-lineage aerobic zoosporic fungus, Rhizophlyctis rosea NBRC 105426. Both genes were heterologously expressed in Pichia pastoris and the recombinant enzymes were purified and characterized. The optimal pH for recombinant RrXyn11A and RrXyl43A was pH 7. RrXyn11A had high stability over a wide range of pH (4–8) and temperature (25–70 °C). RrXyn11A also showed high substrate specificity on both azurine-cross-linked (AZCL) arabinoxylan and AZCL xylan. RrXyl43A had β-xylosidase and minor α-l-arabinofuranosidase activity. This enzyme showed low product inhibition and retained 51% activity in the presence of 100 mM xylose. A combination of RrXyn11A and RrXyl43A exhibited significantly higher hydrolytic and polymer degradation capability and xylose release on wheat bran and beechwood xylan compared to treatment with commercial enzymes. This study was the first to heterologously express and characterize the GH11 xylanase (RrXyn11A) and GH43 xylosidase (RrXyl43A) from the ancient fungus, R. rosea. Meanwhile, this study also demonstrated that the enzymes from the ancient fungus R. rosea can be easily handled and heterologously expressed in Pichia, which presents a promising path to a new source of enzymes for biomass degradation.

[PMID: 29783967 PMCID: PMC5963010 DOI: 10.1186/s12896-018-0440-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 29] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/12/2017] [Accepted: 04/24/2018] [Indexed: 02/08/2023] Open
Abstract
Background β-D-xylosidase is a vital exoglycosidase with the ability to hydrolyze xylooligosaccharides to xylose and to biotransform some saponins by cleaving outer β-xylose. β-D-xylosidase is widely used as one of the xylanolytic enzymes in a diverse range of applications, such as fuel, food and the pharmaceutical industry; therefore, more and more studies have focused on the thermostable and xylose-tolerant β-D-xylosidases. Results A thermostable β-xylosidase gene (xln-DT) of 1509 bp was cloned from Dictyoglomus thermophilum and expressed in E.coli BL21. According to the amino acid and phylogeny analyses, the β-xylosidase Xln-DT is a novel β-xylosidase of the GH family 39. The recombinant β-xylosidase was purified, showing unique bands on SDS-PAGE, and had a protein molecular weight of 58.7 kDa. The β-xylosidase Xln-DT showed an optimal activity at pH 6.0 and 75 °C, with p-nitrophenyl-β-D-xylopyranoside (pNPX) as a substrate. Xln-DT displayed stability over a pH range of 4.0-7.5 for 24 h and displayed thermotolerance below 85 °C. The values of the kinetic parameters Km and Vmax for pNPX were 1.66 mM and 78.46 U/mg, respectively. In particular, Xln-DT displayed high tolerance to xylose, with 60% activity in the presence of 3 M xylose. Xln-DT showed significant effects on the hydrolyzation of xylobiose. After 3 h, all the xylobiose tested was degraded into xylose. Moreover, β-xylosidase Xln-DT had a high selectivity for cleaving the outer xylose moieties of natural saponins, such as notoginsenoside R1 and astragaloside IV, which produced the ginsenoside Rg1 with stronger anti-fatigue activity and produced cycloastragenol with stronger anti-aging activity, respectively. Conclusion This study provides a novel GH 39 β-xylosidase displaying extraordinary properties of highly catalytic activity at temperatures above 75 °C, remarkable hydrolyzing activity of xylooligosaccharides and rare saponins producing ability in the pharmaceutical and commercial industries.

Abstract
β-Xylosidase activity is deficient in most cellulase enzymes secreted by filamentous fungi, which limits effective enzymatic hydrolysis of hemicellulose in lignocellulose materials and resulted in accumulation of xylo-oligosaccharides that inhibit the cellulase and xylanase activitives. An endogenous β-xylosidase gene, xyl3A, was overexpressed using two types of promoters in cellulolytic P. oxalicum RE-10. The mutants RXyl, RGXyl-1 and RGXyl-2 displayed higher β-xylosidase production than native strain RE-10 besides higher cellulase and xylanase activities, especially RGXyl-1, showing the highest β-xylosidase activity of 15.05±1.79IU/mL, about 29 folds higher than native strain, more than the highest level reported by literature. Enzymatic hydrolysis results indicated the cellulase RGXyl-1 not only increased glucose and xylose yields and thus resulted in high ethanol yield during the simultaneous saccharification and fermentation, but decreased the total enzyme loading compared to starting RE-10, which indicated a good prospect of industrial application in bioconversion of lignocellulose.

Abstract
β-xylosidase is a pivotal enzyme for complete degradation of xylan in hemicelluloses of lignocelluloses, and the xylose- and alkali-tolerant β-xylosidase with high catalytic activity is very attractive for promoting enzymatic hydrolysis of alkaline-pretreated lignocellulose. In this study, a novel intracellular glycoside hydrolase family 43 β-xylosidase gene (xyl43) from Penicillium oxalicum 114-2 was successfully high-level overexpressed in Pichia pastoris, and the secreted enzyme was characterized. The β-xylosidase Xyl43 exhibited great pH stability and high catalytic activity in the range of pH 6.0 to 8.0, and high tolerance to xylose with the Ki value of 28.09 mM. The Xyl43 could effectively promote enzymatic degradation of different source of xylan and hemicellulose contained in alkaline-pretreated corn stover, and high conversion of xylan to xylose could be obtained.

Abstract
Background Glycosides are compounds displaying crucial biological roles and plenty of applications. Traditionally, these molecules have been chemically obtained, but its efficient production is limited by the lack of regio- and stereo-selectivity of the chemical synthesis. As an interesting alternative, glycosidases are able to catalyze the formation of glycosides in a process considered green and highly selective. In this study, we report the expression and characterization of a fungal β-xylosidase in Pichia pastoris. The transglycosylation potential of the enzyme was evaluated and its applicability in the synthesis of a selective anti-proliferative compound demonstrated. Results The β-xylosidase BxTW1 from the ascomycete fungus Talaromyces amestolkiae was cloned and expressed in Pichia pastoris GS115. The yeast secreted 8 U/mL of β-xylosidase that was purified by a single step of cation-exchange chromatography. rBxTW1 in its active form is an N-glycosylated dimer of about 200 kDa. The enzyme was biochemically characterized displaying a Km and kcat against p-nitrophenyl-β-d-xylopyranoside of 0.20 mM and 69.3 s−1 respectively, and its maximal activity was achieved at pH 3 and 60 °C. The glycan component of rBxTW1 was also analyzed in order to interpret the observed loss of stability and maximum velocity when compared with the native enzyme. A rapid screening of aglycone specificity was performed, revealing a remarkable high number of potential transxylosylation acceptors for rBxTW1. Based on this analysis, the enzyme was successfully tested in the synthesis of 2-(6-hydroxynaphthyl) β-d-xylopyranoside, a well-known selective anti-proliferative compound, enzymatically obtained for the first time. The application of response surface methodology, following a Box-Behnken design, enhanced this production by eightfold, fitting the reaction conditions into a multiparametric model. The naphthyl derivative was purified and its identity confirmed by NMR. Conclusions A β-xylosidase from T. amestolkiae was produced in P. pastoris and purified. The final yields were much higher than those attained for the native protein, although some loss of stability and maximum velocity was observed. rBxTW1 displayed remarkable acceptor versatility in transxylosylation, catalyzing the synthesis of a selective antiproliferative compound, 2-(6-hydroxynaphthyl) β-d-xylopyranoside. These results evidence the interest of rBxTW1 for transxylosylation of relevant products with biotechnological interest.

Abstract
This paper reports on a novel β-xylosidase from the hemicellulolytic fungus Talaromyces amestolkiae. The expression of this enzyme, called BxTW1, could be induced by beechwood xylan and was purified as a glycoprotein from culture supernatants. We characterized the gene encoding this enzyme as an intronless gene belonging to the glycoside hydrolase gene family 3 (GH3). BxTW1 exhibited transxylosylation activity in a regioselective way. This feature would allow the synthesis of oligosaccharides or other compounds not available from natural sources, such as alkyl glycosides displaying antimicrobial or surfactant properties. Regioselective transxylosylation, an uncommon combination, makes the synthesis reproducible, which is desirable for its potential industrial application. BxTW1 showed high pH stability and Cu(2+) tolerance. The enzyme displayed a pI of 7.6, a molecular mass around 200 kDa in its active dimeric form, and Km and Vmax values of 0.17 mM and 52.0 U/mg, respectively, using commercial p-nitrophenyl-β-d-xylopyranoside as the substrate. The catalytic efficiencies for the hydrolysis of xylooligosaccharides were remarkably high, making it suitable for different applications in food and bioenergy industries.

Abstract
β-xylosidases catalyse the hydrolysis of short chain xylooligosaccharides from their non-reducing ends into xylose. In this study we report the heterologous expression of Aspergillus oryzae β-xylosidase (XylA) in Pichia pastoris under the control of the glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase promoter. The recombinant enzyme was optimally active at 55°C and pH 4.5 with Km and Vmax values of 1.0 mM and 250 μmol min−1 mg−1 respectively against 4-nitrophenyl β-xylopyranoside. Xylose was a competitive inhibitor with a Ki of 2.72 mM, whereas fructose was an uncompetitive inhibitor reducing substrate binding affinity (Km) and conversion efficiency (Vmax). The enzyme was characterised to be an exo-cutting enzyme releasing xylose from the non-reducing ends of β-1,4 linked xylooligosaccharides (X2, X3 and X4). Catalytic conversion of X2, X3 and X4 decreased (Vmax and kcat) with increasing chain length.
