Ye A, Shen JN, Li Y, Lian X, Ma BG, Guo FB. Reconstruction of the genome-scale metabolic network model of Sinorhizobium fredii CCBAU45436 for free-living and symbiotic states. Front Bioeng Biotechnol 2024; 12:1377334. [PMID: 38590605 PMCID: PMC10999553 DOI: 10.3389/fbioe.2024.1377334] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/27/2024] [Accepted: 03/11/2024] [Indexed: 04/10/2024] Open
Abstract
Sinorhizobium fredii CCBAU45436 is an excellent rhizobium that plays an important role in agricultural production. However, there still needs more comprehensive understanding of the metabolic system of S. fredii CCBAU45436, which hinders its application in agriculture. Therefore, based on the first-generation metabolic model iCC541 we developed a new genome-scale metabolic model iAQY970, which contains 970 genes, 1,052 reactions, 942 metabolites and is scored 89% in the MEMOTE test. Cell growth phenotype predicted by iAQY970 is 81.7% consistent with the experimental data. The results of mapping the proteome data under free-living and symbiosis conditions to the model showed that the biomass production rate in the logarithmic phase was faster than that in the stable phase, and the nitrogen fixation efficiency of rhizobia parasitized in cultivated soybean was higher than that in wild-type soybean, which was consistent with the actual situation. In the symbiotic condition, there are 184 genes that would affect growth, of which 94 are essential; In the free-living condition, there are 143 genes that influence growth, of which 78 are essential. Among them, 86 of the 94 essential genes in the symbiotic condition were consistent with the prediction of iCC541, and 44 essential genes were confirmed by literature information; meanwhile, 30 genes were identified by DEG and 33 genes were identified by Geptop. In addition, we extracted four key nitrogen fixation modules from the model and predicted that sulfite reductase (EC 1.8.7.1) and nitrogenase (EC 1.18.6.1) as the target enzymes to enhance nitrogen fixation by MOMA, which provided a potential focus for strain optimization. Through the comprehensive metabolic model, we can better understand the metabolic capabilities of S. fredii CCBAU45436 and make full use of it in the future.

Abstract
The SGNH family esterases are highly effective biocatalysts due to their strong catalytic efficiencies, great stabilities, relatively small sizes, and ease of immobilization. Here, a novel SGNH family esterase (LaSGNH1) from Lactobacillus acidophilus NCFM, which has homologues in many Lactobacillus species, was identified, characterized, and immobilized. LaSGNH1 is highly active towards acetate- or butyrate-containing compounds, such as p-nitrophenyl acetate or 1-naphthyl acetate. Enzymatic properties of LaSGNH1, including thermal stability, optimum pH, chemical stability, and urea stability, were investigated. Interestingly, LaSGNH1 displayed a wide range of substrate specificity that included glyceryl tributyrate, tert-butyl acetate, and glucose pentaacetate. Furthermore, immobilization of LaSGNH1 by crosslinked enzyme aggregates (CLEAs) showed enhanced thermal stability and efficient recycling property. In summary, this work paves the way for molecular understandings and industrial applications of a novel SGNH family esterase (LaSGNH1) from Lactobacillus acidophilus.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Acetylated 4-O-(methyl)glucuronoxylan (GX) is the main hemicellulose in deciduous hardwood, and comprises a β-(1→4)-linked xylopyranosyl (Xylp) backbone substituted by both acetyl groups and α-(1→2)-linked 4-O-methylglucopyranosyluronic acid (MeGlcpA). Whereas enzymes that target singly acetylated Xylp or doubly 2,3-O-acetyl-Xylp have been well characterized, those targeting (2-O-MeGlcpA)3-O-acetyl-Xylp structures in glucuronoxylan have remained elusive. RESULTS An unclassified carbohydrate esterase (FjoAcXE) was identified as a protein of unknown function from a polysaccharide utilization locus (PUL) otherwise comprising carbohydrate-active enzyme families known to target xylan. FjoAcXE was shown to efficiently release acetyl groups from internal (2-O-MeGlcpA)3-O-acetyl-Xylp structures, an activity that has been sought after but lacking in known carbohydrate esterases. FjoAcXE action boosted the activity of α-glucuronidases from families GH67 and GH115 by five and nine times, respectively. Moreover, FjoAcXE activity was not only restricted to GX, but also deacetylated (3-O-Araf)2-O-acetyl-Xylp of feruloylated xylooligomers, confirming the broad substrate range of this new carbohydrate esterase. CONCLUSION This study reports the discovery and characterization of the novel carbohydrate esterase, FjoAcXE. In addition to cleaving singly acetylated Xylp, and doubly 2,3-O-acetyl-Xylp, FjoAcXE efficiently cleaves internal 3-O-acetyl-Xylp linkages in (2-O-MeGlcpA)3-O-acetyl-Xylp residues along with densely substituted and branched xylooligomers; activities that until now were missing from the arsenal of enzymes required for xylan conversion.

Abstract
SrLip is an extracellular enzyme from Streptomyces rimosus (Q93MW7) exhibiting lipase, phospholipase, esterase, thioesterase, and tweenase activities. The structure of SrLip is one of a very few lipases, among the 3D-structures of the SGNH superfamily of hydrolases, structurally characterized by synchrotron diffraction data at 1.75 Å resolution (PDB: 5MAL ). Its crystal structure was determined by molecular replacement using a homology model based on the crystal structure of phospholipase A1 from Streptomyces albidoflavus (PDB: 4HYQ ). The structure reveals the Rossmann-like 3-layer αβα sandwich fold typical of the SGNH superfamily stabilized by three disulfide bonds. The active site shows a catalytic dyad involving Ser10 and His216 with Ser10-OγH···NεHis216, His216-NδH···O═C-Ser214, and Gly54-NH···Oγ-Ser10 hydrogen bonds essential for the catalysis; the carbonyl oxygen of the Ser214 main chain acts as a hydrogen bond acceptor ensuring the orientation of the His216 imidazole ring suitable for a proton transfer. Molecular dynamics simulations of the apoenzyme and its complex with p-nitrophenyl caprylate were used to probe the positioning of the substrate ester group within the active site and its aliphatic chain within the binding site. Quantum-mechanical calculations at the DFT level revealed the precise molecular mechanism of the SrLip catalytic activity, demonstrating that the overall hydrolysis is a two-step process with acylation as the rate-limiting step associated with the activation free energy of ΔG⧧ENZ = 17.9 kcal mol-1, being in reasonable agreement with the experimental value of 14.5 kcal mol-1, thus providing strong support in favor of the proposed catalytic mechanism based on a dyad.

Abstract
Primordial germ cells are the progenitor cells that give rise to the gametes. In some animals, the germline is induced by zygotic transcription factors, whereas in others, primordial germ cell specification occurs via inheritance of maternally provided gene products known as germ plasm. Once specified, the primordial germ cells of some animals must acquire motility and migrate to the gonad in order to survive. In all animals examined, perinuclear structures called germ granules form within germ cells. This review focuses on some of the recent studies, conducted by several groups using diverse systems, from invertebrates to vertebrates, which have provided mechanistic insight into the molecular regulation of germ cell specification and migration.

Abstract
Nanoparticles have gathered significant research attention as materials for enzyme immobilization due to their advantageous properties such as low diffusion rates, ease of manipulation, and large surface areas. Here, polymorphic cobalt nanoparticles of varied sizes and shapes were prepared using Micrococcus lylae, Bacillus subtilis, Escherichia coli, Paracoccus sp., and Haloarcula vallismortis as bacterial templates. Furthermore, nine lipases/carboxylesterases were successfully immobilized on these cobalt nanoparticles. Especially, immobilized forms of Est-Y29, LmH, and Sm23 were characterized in more detail for potential industrial applications. Immobilization of enzymes onto cobalt oxide nanoparticles prepared from polymorphic bacterial templates may have potential for efficient hydrolysis on an industrial-scale, with several advantages such as high retention of enzymatic activity, increased stability, and strong reusability.

Abstract
In many microorganisms, carbohydrate acetylesterases remove the acetyl groups from various types of carbohydrates. Sm23 from Sinorhizobium meliloti is a putative member of carbohydrate esterase family 3 (CE3) in the CAZy classification system. Here, we determined the crystal structure of Sm23 at 1.75 Å resolution and investigated functional properties using biochemical methods. Furthermore, immobilized Sm23 exhibited improved stability compared with soluble Sm23, which can be used for the design of plant cell wall degrading-systems.

Abstract
Interest in penicillin-binding proteins and β-lactamases (the PBP-βL family) is increasing owing to their biological and clinical significance. In this study, the crystal structure of Est-Y29, a metagenomic homologue of the PBP-βL family, was determined at 1.7 Å resolution. In addition, complex structures of Est-Y29 with 4-nitrophenyl phosphate (4NP) and with diethyl phosphonate (DEP) at 2.0 Å resolution were also elucidated. Structural analyses showed that Est-Y29 is composed of two domains: a β-lactamase fold and an insertion domain. A deep hydrophobic patch between these domains defines a wide active site, and a nucleophilic serine (Ser58) residue is located in a groove defined primarily by hydrophobic residues between the two domains. In addition, three hydrophobic motifs, which make up the substrate-binding site, allow this enzyme to hydrolyze a wide variety of hydrophobic compounds, including fish and olive oils. Furthermore, cross-linked Est-Y29 aggregates (CLEA-Est-Y29) significantly increase the stability of the enzyme as well as its potential for extensive reuse in various deactivating conditions. The structural features of Est-Y29, together with biochemical and biophysical studies, could provide a molecular basis for understanding the properties and regulatory mechanisms of the PBP-βL family and their potential for use in industrial biocatalysts.

Abstract
The SGNH hydrolase family includes enzymes that catalyze the hydrolysis of a broad range of substrates. Here, the crystallization and preliminary X-ray crystallographic studies of a novel SGNH hydrolase (Est24) from Sinorhizobium meliloti were performed. Recombinant Est24 protein containing an N-terminal His tag was expressed in Escherichia coli and purified to homogeneity. Est24 was then crystallized using a solution consisting of 0.2 M ammonium phosphate pH 4.6, 20% polyethylene glycol 3350. X-ray diffraction data were collected to a resolution of 1.45 Å with an R(merge) of 9.4%. The Est24 crystals belonged to space group C2, with unit-cell parameters a = 129.09, b = 88.63, c = 86.15 Å, α = 90.00, β = 114.30, γ = 90.00°. A molecular-replacement solution was obtained using the crystal structure of Mycobacterium smegmatis arylesterase as a template and structure refinement of Est24 is in progress.

Abstract
Although virulence factors from pathogenic bacteria have been proposed as promising industrial enzymes, characterization and application of these enzymes have been still unexplored. The objective of this study was to identify and characterize virulence factors from pathogenic bacteria for industrial applications. Here, a virulence factor (EfEstA) from Enterococcus faecalis was identified and characterized using SDS-PAGE, enzyme assays, and molecular modeling. In addition, it has been shown that cross-linked enzyme aggregates (CLEAs) of EfEstA exhibited improved stabilities and high recycling activities compared to free EfEstA. These characteristics of EfEstA shed light on the design of new lipase-based systems for industrial applications.

Abstract
Intracellular mobilization of fatty acids from triacylglycerols in mammalian adipose tissues proceeds through a series of lipolytic reactions. Among the enzymes involved, hormone-sensitive lipase (HSL) is noteworthy for its central role in energy homeostasis and the pathogenic role played by its dysregulation. By virtue of its broad substrate specificity, HSL may also serve as an industrial biocatalyst. In a previous report, Est25, a bacterial homologue of HSL, was identified from a metagenomic library by functional screening. Here, the crystal structure of Est25 is reported at 1.49 Å resolution; it exhibits an α/β-hydrolase fold consisting of a central β-sheet enclosed by α-helices on both sides. The structural features of the cap domain, the substrate-binding pocket and the dimeric interface of Est25, together with biochemical and biophysical studies including native PAGE, mass spectrometry, dynamic light scattering, gel filtration and enzyme assays, could provide a basis for understanding the properties and regulation of hormone-sensitive lipase (HSL). The increased stability of cross-linked Est25 aggregates (CLEA-Est25) and their potential for extensive reuse support the application of this preparation as a biocatalyst in biotransformation processes.

Abstract
The structures and reaction mechanisms of enantioselective hydrolases, which can be used in industrial applications such as biotransformations, are largely unknown. Here, the X-ray crystallographic study of a novel (S)-specific esterase (pfEstA) from Pseudomonas fluorescens KCTC 1767, which can be used in the production of (S)-ketoprofen, is described. Multiple sequence alignments with other hydrolases revealed that pfEstA contains a conserved Ser67 within the S-X-X-K motif as well as a highly conserved Tyr156. Recombinant protein containing an N-terminal His tag was expressed in Escherichia coli, purified to homogeneity and characterized using SDS-PAGE, MALDI-TOF MS and enantioselective analysis. pfEstA was crystallized using a solution consisting of 1 M sodium citrate, 0.1 M CHES pH 9.5, and X-ray diffraction data were collected to a resolution of 1.9 Å with an Rmerge of 7.9%. The crystals of pfEstA belonged to space group P2(1)2(1)2(1), with unit-cell parameters a=65.31, b=82.13, c=100.41 Å, α=β=γ=90°.

Abstract
The structures and functions of family VIII lipolytic enzymes, which have moderate sequence identity to class C β-lactamases and penicillin-binding proteins, are largely unknown. Here, the X-ray crystallographic study of a family VIII esterase from Caulobacter crescentus CB15 (CcEstA) is described. Sequence analysis revealed that CcEstA has a conserved serine residue within the S-X-X-K motif which acts as a catalytic nucleophile. Recombinant protein containing an N-terminal His tag was expressed in Escherichia coli and purified to homogeneity. Functional studies showed that CcEstA acts on α- and β-naphthyl acetate as substrates. In addition, it can catalyze the hydrolysis of ketoprofen ethyl ester, a highly useful product in industrial applications. CcEstA was crystallized using a solution consisting of 1.0 M potassium/sodium tartrate, 0.1 M imidazole pH 8.0, 0.2 M NaCl, and X-ray diffraction data were collected to a resolution of 1.62 Å with an R(merge) of 9.4%. The crystals of CcEstA belonged to space group C222(1), with unit-cell parameters a = 172.23, b = 176.68, c = 47.93 Å. Structure determination is in progress.

Abstract
A novel oligomeric SGNH hydrolase (Est24) from Sinorhizobium meliloti was identified, actively expressed in Escherichia coli, characterized, and immobilized for industrial application. Sequence analysis of Est24 revealed a putative catalytic triad (Ser¹³-Asp¹⁶³-His¹⁶⁹), with moderate homology to other SGNH hydrolases. Est24 was more active toward short-chain esters, such as p-nitrophenyl acetate, butyrate, and valerate, while the S13A mutant completely lost its activity. Moreover, the activity of Est24 toward α- and β-naphthyl acetate, and enantioselectivity on (R)- and (S)-methyl-3-hydroxy-2-methylpropionate were tested. Est24 exhibited optimum activity at mesophilic temperature ranges (45-55 °C), and slightly alkaline pH (8.0). Structural and mutagenesis studies revealed critical residues involved in the formation of a catalytic triad and substrate-binding pocket. Cross-linked enzyme aggregates (CLEAs) of Est24 with and without amyloid fibrils were prepared, and amyloid fibril-linked Est24 with amyloid fibrils retained 83 % of its initial activity after 1 h of incubation at 60 °C. The high thermal stability of immobilized Est24 highlights its potential in the pharmaceutical and chemical industries.

Abstract
A novel oligomeric hydrolase (LI22) from Listeria innocua CLIP 11262 was identified, characterized, and immobilized for industrial application. Sequence analysis of LI22 revealed a putative catalytic triad (Ser(10)-Asp(176)-His(179)), and a conserved sequence motif Ser(S)(10)-Gly(G)(77)-Asn(N)(79)-His(H)(179) with moderate identities (<30%) with other members of the SGNH-hydrolase superfamily. LI22 was able to hydrolyze p-nitrophenyl acetate, α- and β-naphthyl acetate, while the S10A mutant completely lost its activity. Structural properties of LI22 were investigated using gel filtration, circular dichroism (CD), fluorescence, molecular modeling, and gel filtration. We have shown that upon incubation in 30% TFE or 50% ethanol solution, LI22 was transformed into curly amyloid fibrils. Cross-linked enzyme aggregates of LI22 were prepared by precipitating the enzyme with ammonium sulfate and subsequent cross-linking with glutaraldehyde. Higher thermal and chemical stability, as well as good durability after repeated use of the LI22-CLEA, highlight its potential applicability as a biocatalyst in the pharmaceutical and chemical industries.

Abstract
Industrial demand for active biocatalysts with desirable biochemical properties is constantly increasing and the discovery and characterization of novel esterases is potentially useful for industrial processes. Here, X-ray crystallographic studies of an (R)-specific SGNH arylesterase (Sm23) from Sinorhizobium meliloti 1021 are reported. The recombinant protein was expressed in Escherichia coli with a His tag and purified to homogeneity. Sm23 was crystallized using 0.2 M magnesium formate as a precipitant and X-ray diffraction data were collected to a resolution of 2.2 Å with an R(merge) of 6.9%. The crystals of SM23 belonged to the I-centred tetragonal space group I4(1)22, with unit-cell parameters a = b = 126.6, c = 190.9 Å. A molecular-replacement solution was obtained using the crystal structure of arylesterase from Mycobacterium smegmatis as a template.

Molecular cloning and characterization of a novel SGNH arylesterase from the goat rumen contents. Appl Microbiol Biotechnol 2011; 91:1561-70.

Abstract
An esterase-encoding gene, estR5, was directly obtained from the genomic DNA of goat rumen contents. The 555-bp full-length gene encodes a 184-residue polypeptide (EstR5) without putative signal peptide. Deduced EstR5 shared the highest identity (50%) to a putative arylesterase from Ruminococcaceae bacterium D16. Phylogenetic analysis indicated that EstR5 was closely related with microbial esterases of gastrointestinal source. A comparison of the conserved motifs shared with GDSL proteins revealed that EstR5 could be grouped into the GDSL family and was further classified into the subfamily of SGNH hydrolases. The gene estR5 was expressed in Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3) and purified to electrophoretic homogeneity. Recombinant EstR5 exhibited highest catalytic efficiency towards α-naphthyl acetate followed by phenyl acetate and p-nitrophenyl acetate and had no activity towards PNP esters with acyl chains longer than C8. The enzyme exhibited optimal activity at around 60°C and pH 8.0, was stable at pH ranging from 6.0 to 11.0 and was slightly activated by detergent Tween, Nonidet P-40, and Triton X-100. These properties suggest that EstR5 has great potential for basic research and industrial applications. To our knowledge, this is the first arylesterase obtained from rumen microenvironment.
