Gupta MN, Uversky VN. Protein structure-function continuum model: Emerging nexuses between specificity, evolution, and structure. Protein Sci 2024; 33:e4968. [PMID: 38532700 DOI: 10.1002/pro.4968] [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: 12/02/2023] [Revised: 02/18/2024] [Accepted: 03/05/2024] [Indexed: 03/28/2024]
Abstract
The rationale for replacing the old binary of structure-function with the trinity of structure, disorder, and function has gained considerable ground in recent years. A continuum model based on the expanded form of the existing paradigm can now subsume importance of both conformational flexibility and intrinsic disorder in protein function. The disorder is actually critical for understanding the protein-protein interactions in many regulatory processes, formation of membrane-less organelles, and our revised notions of specificity as amply illustrated by moonlighting proteins. While its importance in formation of amyloids and function of prions is often discussed, the roles of intrinsic disorder in infectious diseases and protein function under extreme conditions are also becoming clear. This review is an attempt to discuss how our current understanding of protein function, specificity, and evolution fit better with the continuum model. This integration of structure and disorder under a single model may bring greater clarity in our continuing quest for understanding proteins and molecular mechanisms of their functionality.

Bioimprinted lipase-catalyzed synthesis of medium- and long-chain structured lipids rich in docosahexaenoic acid for infant formula. Food Chem 2023; 424:136450. [PMID: 37247604 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2023.136450] [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: 11/07/2022] [Revised: 05/11/2023] [Accepted: 05/21/2023] [Indexed: 05/31/2023]
Abstract
Medium- and long-chain structured lipids (MLSLs) rich in docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) were obtained in shorter reaction time by acidolysis of single-cell oil (DHASCO) from Schizochytrium sp. with caprylic acid (CA) using a lipase bioimprinted with fatty acids as a catalyst. The conditions for preparation of the bioimprinted lipase for the acidolysis reaction were firstly optimized and the activity of the obtained lipase was 2.17 times higher than that of the non-bioimprinted. The bioimprinted lipase was then used as a catalyst and the reaction conditions were optimized. Under the optimal conditions, the equilibrium could be achieved in 4 h, and the total and sn-1,3 CA contents in the product were 29.18% and 42.34%, respectively, and the total and sn-2 DHA contents were 46.26% and 70.12%, respectively. Such MLSLs rich in sn-1,3 CA and sn-2 DHA are beneficial for DHA absorption, and thus have potential for use in infant formula.

Abstract
It is not often realized that the absolute protein specificity is an exception rather than a rule. Two major kinds of protein multi-specificities are promiscuity and moonlighting. This review discusses the idea of enzyme specificity and then focusses on moonlighting. Some important examples of protein moonlighting, such as crystallins, ceruloplasmin, metallothioniens, macrophage migration inhibitory factor, and enzymes of carbohydrate metabolism are discussed. How protein plasticity and intrinsic disorder enable the removing the distinction between enzymes and other biologically active proteins are outlined. Finally, information on important roles of moonlighting in human diseases is updated.

Physical behavior of KR-12 peptide on solid surfaces and Langmuir-Blodgett lipid films: Complementary approaches to its antimicrobial mode against S. aureus. BIOCHIMICA ET BIOPHYSICA ACTA-BIOMEMBRANES 2021; 1864:183779. [PMID: 34560046 DOI: 10.1016/j.bbamem.2021.183779] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/04/2021] [Revised: 08/13/2021] [Accepted: 09/13/2021] [Indexed: 11/22/2022]
Abstract
Biophysical characterization of antimicrobial peptides helps to understand the mechanistic aspects of their action. The physical behavior of the KR-12 antimicrobial peptide (e.g. orientation and changes in secondary structure), was analyzed after interactions with a Staphylococcus aureus membrane model and solid surfaces. We performed antimicrobial tests using Gram-positive S. aureus (ATCC 25923) bacteria. Moreover, Langmuir-Blodgett experiments showed that the synthetic peptide can disturb the lipidic membrane at a concentration lower than the Minimum Inhibitory Concentration, thus confirming that KR-12/lipid interactions are involved. Partially- and fully-deactivated KR-12 hybrid samples were obtained by physisorption and covalent immobilization in chitosan/silica and glyoxal-rich solid supports. The correlation of Langmuir-Blodgett data with the α-helix formation, followed by FTIR-ATR in a frozen-like state, and the antimicrobial activity showed the importance of these interactions and conformation changes on the first step action mode of this peptide. This is the first time that material science (immobilization in solid surfaces assisted by FTIR-ATR analysis in frozen-like state) and physical (Langmuir-Blodgett/Schaefer) approaches are combined for exploring mechanistic aspects of the primary action mode of the KR-12 antimicrobial peptide against S. aureus.

Abstract
A novel lipase, SCNL, was isolated from Staphylococcus caprae NCU S6 strain in the study. The lipase was purified to homogeneity with a yield of 6.13% and specific activity of 502.76 U/mg, and its molecular weight was determined to be approximately 87 kDa. SCNL maintained above 80% of its initial activity at a wide range of temperatures (20-50 °C) and pH values (6-11), with an optimal temperature at 40 °C and optimal pH at 9.0 with p-nitrophenyl palmitate as a substrate. SCNL exhibited a higher residual activity than the other staphylococcal lipases in the presence of common enzyme inhibitors and commercial detergents. The lipase activity was enhanced by organic solvents (isooctane, glycerol, DMSO and methanol) and metal ions (Na+, Ba2+, Ca2+, and Mn2+). The Km and Vmax values of SCNL were 0.695 mM and 262.66 s-1 mM-1, respectively. The enzyme showed a preference for p-NP stearate, tributyrin and canola oil. These biochemical features of SCNL suggested that it may be an excellent novel lipase candidate for industrial and biotechnological applications.

As the enantiomers of 1-phenylethanol are valuable intermediates in several industries, the lipase catalyzed kinetic resolution of (R,S) -1-phenylethanol is a relevant research topic. In this study, the goal was to determine the optimum reaction parameters to produce enantiomerically pure 1-phenylethanol by lipase (Novozyme 435) catalyzed kinetic resolution using response surface methodology (RSM). Reactions were performed with 40–400 mM (R,S)-1-phenylethanol, 120–1200 mM vinyl acetate and 2–22 mg/mL biocatalyst concentrations (BC
L
), at 20–60 °C and with a stirring rate of 50–400 rpm for 5–120 min. The samples were analyzed using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with a Chiralcel OB column. Optimum reaction parameters to reach 100% enantiomeric excess for the substrate (

Enzyme-Coated Micro-Crystals: An Almost Forgotten but Very Simple and Elegant Immobilization Strategy. Catalysts 2020.

Abstract
The immobilization of enzymes using protein coated micro-crystals (PCMCs) was reported for the first time in 2001 by Kreiner and coworkers. The strategy is very simple. First, an enzyme solution must be prepared in a concentrated solution of one compound (salt, sugar, amino acid) very soluble in water and poorly soluble in a water-soluble solvent. Then, the enzyme solution is added dropwise to the water soluble solvent under rapid stirring. The components accompanying the enzyme are called the crystal growing agents, the solvent being the dehydrating agent. This strategy permits the rapid dehydration of the enzyme solution drops, resulting in a crystallization of the crystal formation agent, and the enzyme is deposited on this crystal surface. The reaction medium where these biocatalysts can be used is marked by the solubility of the PCMC components, and usually these biocatalysts may be employed in water soluble organic solvents with a maximum of 20% water. The evolution of these PCMC was to chemically crosslink them and further improve their stabilities. Moreover, the PCMC strategy has been used to coimmobilize enzymes or enzymes and cofactors. The immobilization may permit the use of buffers as crystal growth agents, enabling control of the reaction pH in the enzyme environments. Usually, the PCMC biocatalysts are very stable and more active than other biocatalysts of the same enzyme. However, this simple (at least at laboratory scale) immobilization strategy is underutilized even when the publications using it systematically presented a better performance of them in organic solvents than that of many other immobilized biocatalysts. In fact, many possibilities and studies using this technique are lacking. This review tried to outline the possibilities of this useful immobilization strategy.

Abstract
Enzymatic production of biodiesel from waste cooking oil (WCO) could contribute to resolving the problems of energy demand and environment pollutions.In the present work, Burkholderia cepacia lipase (BCL) was activated by surfactant imprinting, and subsequently immobilized in magnetic cross-linked enzyme aggregates (mCLEAs) with hydroxyapatite coated magnetic nanoparticles (HAP-coated MNPs). The maximum hyperactivation of BCL mCLEAs was observed in the pretreatment of BCL with 0.1 mM Triton X-100. The optimized Triton-activated BCL mCLEAs was used as a highly active and robust biocatalyst for biodiesel production from WCO, exhibiting significant increase in biodiesel yield and tolerance to methanol. The results indicated that surfactant imprinting integrating mCLEAs could fix BCL in their active (open) form, experiencing a boost in activity and allowing biodiesel production performed in solvent without further addition of water. A maximal biodiesel yield of 98% was achieved under optimized conditions with molar ratio of methanol-to-WCO 7:1 in one-time addition in hexane at 40 °C. Therefore, the present study displays a versatile method for lipase immobilization and shows great practical latency in renewable biodiesel production.

Abstract
Biocatalysts exerting activity against ester bonds have a broad range of applications in modern biotechnology. Some of the most industrially relevant enzymes of this type are lipolytic and their market is predicted to uphold leadership up till 2024. In this study, a novel bacterial hormone-sensitive lipase-like (bHSL) family homologue, designated EstAG1, was discovered by mining gDNA of bacteria isolated from fat contaminated soil in Lithuania. Putative lipolytic enzyme was cloned, overexpressed in E. coli, purified and characterized determining its biochemical properties. While the true physiological role of the discovered leaderless, ~36 kDa enzyme is unknown, metal-activated EstAG1 possessed optima at 45-47.5 °C, pH 7.5-8, with a generally intermediate activity profile between esterases and lipases. Furthermore, EstAG1 was hyperactivated by ethanol, dioxane and DMSO, implicating that it could be industrially applicable enzyme for the synthesis of valuable products such as biodiesel, flavor esters, etc. Sequence analysis and structure modeling revealed that the highest sequence homology of EstAG1 with the closest structurally and functionally described protein makes up only 26%. It was also revealed that EstAG1 has some differences in the bHSL family-characteristic conserved sequence motives. Therefore, EstAG1 presents interest both in terms of biotechnological applications and basic research.

Abstract
The lipase and Triton X-100 mixture is common for stabilization, immobilization and application processes of these kinds of enzymes. The objective of this article was to study the structural behavior and catalytic performance of Thermomyces lanuginose lipase in the presence of Triton X-100 at 25 °C and different pHs. The structural changes were followed by circular dichroism, correlating them with the catalytic performance, which is reported as the initial lipase activity in the hydrolysis of p‑nitro phenyl butyrate at zero time and residual activity after 48 h of incubation in the absence or presence of surfactant, at the selected pHs. Computational simulations allowed to explain the correlations between the physicochemical changes and the formation of surfactant protein complex, leading to the elucidation of the main interactions that drive activity and stability of this lipase in presence of the Triton X-100 surfactant. Main results showed the Triton X-100-enzyme complex modulates the site active geometry, favoring a better substrate-enzyme adjustment, which influences the activity and stability at evaluated pHs. This study contributes to understand the effect of some additives commonly used to improve the biocatalytic performance on several applications for different industrial fields.

Modulation of the regioselectivity of Thermomyces lanuginosus lipase via biocatalyst engineering for the Ethanolysis of oil in fully anhydrous medium. BMC Biotechnol 2017; 17:88.

Abstract
Background Enzymatic ethanolysis of oils (for example, high oleic sunflower oil containing 90% of oleic acid) may yield two different reaction products depending on the regioselectivity of the immobilized lipase biocatalyst. Some lipase biocatalysts exhibit a 1,3-regioselectivity and they produced 2 mols of fatty acid ethyl ester plus 1 mol of sn2-monoacylglycerol (2-MAG) per mol of triglyceride without the release of glycerol. Other lipase biocatalysts are completely non-regioselective releasing 3 mols of fatty acid ethyl ester and 1 mol of glycerol per mol of triglyceride. Lipase from Thermomyces lanuginosus (TLL) adsorbed on hydrophobic supports is a very interesting biocatalyst for the ethanolysis of oil. Modulation of TLL regioselectivity in anhydrous medium was intended via two strategies of TLL immobilization: a. - interfacial adsorption on different hydrophobic supports and b.- interfacial adsorption on a given hydrophobic support under different experimental conditions. Results Immobilization of TLL on supports containing divinylbenezene moieties yielded excellent 1,3-regioselective biocatalysts but immobilization of TLL on supports containing octadecyl groups yielded non-regioselective biocatalysts. On the other hand, TLL immobilized on Purolite C18 at pH 8.5 and 30 °C in the presence of traces of CTAB yielded a biocatalyst with a perfect 1,3-regioselectivity and a very interesting activity: 2.5 μmols of oil ethanolyzed per min per gram of immobilized derivative. This activity is 10-fold higher than the one of commercial Lipozyme TL IM. Immobilization of the same enzyme on the same support, but at pH 7.0 and 25 °C, led to a biocatalyst which can hydrolyze all ester bonds in TG backbone. Conclusions Activity and regioselectivity of TLL in anhydrous media can be easily modulated via Biocatalysis Engineering producing very active immobilized derivatives able to catalyze the ethanolysis of triolein. When the biocatalyst was 1,3-regioselective a 33% of 2-monoolein was obtained and it may be a very interesting surfactant. When biocatalyst catalyzed the ethanolysis of the 3 positions during the reaction process, a 99% of ethyl oleate was obtained and it may be a very interesting drug-solvent and surfactant. The absence of acyl migrations under identical reaction conditions is clearly observed and hence the different activities and regioselectivities seem to be due to the different catalytic properties of different derivatives of TLL.

Such low water containing media also offer the possibility of carrying out enzymatic reactions at higher temperatures and enhancing reaction yields. The utility of such preparations is limited by the damage caused to the protein structure during freeze-drying. This work investigates the result of exposing the proteolytic enzyme subtilisin to high temperature in low water containing n-octane on its activity in aqueous and non-aqueous media. Exposing subtilisin at 90 °C for 5 h led to 18-fold improvement in its transesterification activity even at the normal assay temperature (37 °C) when compared with the untreated enzyme. The use of n-octane as the reaction medium was important as it helped to retain the three-dimensional architecture of the enzyme and should be considered while designing strategies for obtaining high activity preparations of other enzymes. Structural analysis using differential scanning fluorimetry showed that the enzyme lost its structure after heating in aqueous medium but retained it when heated in organic solvent. The simplicity and general applicability of the strategy should make it useful for obtaining highly active preparations of other enzymes as well.
