Abstract
Xylanase finds extensive applications in diverse biotechnological fields such as biofuel production, pulp and paper industry, baking and brewing industry, food and feed industry, and deinking of waste paper. Here, polyethylene glycol (PEG)-phosphate aqueous two-phase system (ATPS) was applied for the purification of an alkaline active and thermotolerant xylanase from a marine source, Cladophora hutchinsiae (C. hutchinsiae). In the purification process, the effects of some experimental factors such as PEG concentration and PEG molar mass, potassium phosphate(K2HP04) concentration, and pH on xylanase distribution were systematically investigated. Relative enzymatic activity and purification factor obtained were 93.21% and 7.18, respectively. A single protein band of 28 kDa was observed on SDS-PAGE. The optimum temperature and pH of xylanase with beechwood xylan were 30 °C and 9.0, respectively. The Lineweaver-Burk graph was utilized to determine the Km (4.5 ± 0.8 mg/mL), Vmax (0.04 ± 0.01 U) and kcat (0.001 s-1) values of the enzyme. It was observed that the purified xylanase maintained 70% of its activity at 4 °C and was found stable at pH 4.0 by retaining almost all of its activity. Enzymatic activity was slightly enhanced with Na+, K+, Ca2+ and acetone. The highest increase in the reducing sugar amount was 53.6 ± 3.8, for orange juice at 50 U/mL enzyme concentration.

Salehi M. Evaluating the industrial potential of naturally occurring proteases: A focus on kinetic and thermodynamic parameters. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 254:127782.

Abstract
Thermodynamic and kinetic parameters, such as enthalpy, entropy, and free energy, are crucial in evaluating enzyme stability and activity. These parameters, including the free energy of activation (ΔG#) and the Gibbs free energy of inactivation (ΔG*), are important for predicting energy requirements and reaction rates. However, relying solely on these parameters is insufficient in selecting an enzyme for industrial processes. Numerous studies have explored the measurement of thermodynamic parameters for proteases. Unfortunately, some of the definitions and calculations of key parameters such as ΔG#, ΔG*, and substrate-binding free energy have contained significant errors. In this study, these mistakes have been addressed and corrected. Additionally, a new parameter called δ, defined as the difference between ΔG* and ΔG#, has been introduced for the first time. It is argued that δ provides a more reliable measure for predicting the potential industrial application of enzymes. The highest calculated value for δ was found to be 39.6 kJ·mol-1 at 55 °C. Furthermore, this study also presents a comprehensive collection and determination of all thermodynamic and kinetic parameters for proteases, providing researchers and professionals in the field with a valuable resource to compare and understand the relationships between these parameters and the industrial potential of enzymes.

Abstract
The study aims to produce a detergent-compatible and alkaline thermophilic protease from a Bacillus strain and to investigate its usability as a detergent bio-additive. The protease-producing bacterium was identified as Bacillus pumilus strain TNP93 according to the 16S rRNA sequence. The bacterium optimally synthesized the protease at 40 °C and pH 10 in 40 h. The raw protease displayed its optimum activity at pH 10 and 60 °C and its stability between pH 6-13 and 30-100 °C for 24 h. The molecular mass of the proteolytic band was estimated to be about 85 kDa. The protease was not inhibited by any of the metal ions used (Ba2+, Ca2+, Co2+, Cu2+, Mg2+, Mn2+, Zn2+). 97 and 90% of its original activity with 5 mM PMSF and EDTA remained. The activity was measured as 84, 124, and 95%, respectively, in the presence of 1% concentrations of Tween 20, Tween 80, and Triton X-100. In addition, all of its activity was preserved when the enzyme was exposed to 5% H2O2. The end products of casein were detected as tyrosine, aspartic acid, glycine, and cysteine by thin-layer chromatography. Considering the wash performance analysis, the mix of 1% commercial detergent and enzyme almost removed all of the protein-based stains (blood and egg yolk albumin). These remarkable findings indicate that the alkaline, thermo-, and oxidant-stable TNP93 protease is a valuable candidate for usage as a biological additive in various laundry detergents.

Abstract
The use of chicken waste can contribute to the development of new processes and obtaining molecules with high added value. An experimental design was applied to evaluate the effect of moisture, temperature, and inoculum size on the production of antioxidant peptides and proteases by A. oryzae IOC3999 through solid-state fermentation (SSF) of chicken viscera meal. As a result, the process conditions strongly influenced protease production and antioxidant activity of the fermented products. A global analysis of the results indicated that the most adequate conditions for SSF were (assay 9): 40% initial moisture, 30 °C as the incubation temperature, 5.05 × 106 spores/g as the inoculum size, and 48-h fermentation as the fermentation time. Under this condition, the antioxidant activities for the ABTS- and DPPH-radicals inhibition and ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) methods were 376.16, 153.29, and 300.47 (µmol TE/g), respectively, and the protease production reached 428.22 U/g. Ultrafiltration of the crude extract obtained under optimized fermentation conditions was performed, and the fraction containing peptides with molecular mass lower than 3 kDa showed the highest antioxidant activity. The proteases were biochemically characterized and showed maximal activity at pH values ranging from 5.0 to 6.0 and a temperature of 50 °C. The thermodynamic parameters indicated that the process of thermal protease inactivation is not spontaneous (ΔG*d > 88.78 kJ/mol), increasing with temperature (ΔH*d 27.01-26.88 kJ/mol), and with reduced disorder in the system (ΔS*d < - 197.74 kJ/mol) probably caused by agglomeration of partially denatured enzymes.

Abstract
The use of enzymes to degrade environmental pollutants has received wide attention as an emerging green approach. Horseradish peroxidase (HRP) can efficiently catalyze the degradation of phenol in the environment; however, free HRP exhibits poor stability and temperature sensitivity and is easily deactivated, which limit its practical applications. In this study, to improve their thermal stability, HRP enzymes were immobilized on mesoporous molecular sieves (Al-MCM-41). Specifically, Al-MCM-41(W) and Al-MCM-41(H) were prepared by modifying the mesoporous molecular sieve Al-MCM-41 with glutaraldehyde and epichlorohydrin, respectively, and used as carriers to immobilize HRP on their surface, by covalent linkage, to form the immobilized enzymes HRP@Al-MCM-41(W) and HRP@Al-MCM-41(H). Notably, the maximum reaction rate of HRP@Al-MCM-41(H) was increased from 2.886 × 105 (free enzyme) to 5.896 × 105 U/min-1, and its half-life at 50 °C was increased from 745.17 to 1968.02 min; the thermal stability of the immobilized enzyme was also significantly improved. In addition, we elucidated the mechanism of phenol degradation by HRP, which provides a basis for the application of this enzyme to phenol degradation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Calf rennet is considered the traditional source of milk clotting enzyme (MCE). However, increasing cheese consumption with decreasing the calf rennet supply had encouraged the quest for new rennet alternatives. The purpose of this study is to acquire more information about the catalytic and kinetic properties of partially purified Bacillus subtilis MK775302 MCE and to assess the role of enzyme in cheese manufacture. RESULTS B. subtilis MK775302 MCE was partially purified by 50% acetone precipitation with 5.6-fold purification. The optimum temperature and pH of the partially purified MCE were 70 °C and 5.0, respectively. The activation energy was calculated as 47.7 kJ/mol. The calculated Km and Vmax values were 36 mg/ml and 833 U/ml, respectively. The enzyme retained full activity at NaCl concentration of 2%. Compared to the commercial calf rennet, the ultra-filtrated white soft cheese produced from the partially purified B. subtilis MK775302 MCE exhibited higher total acidity, higher volatile fatty acids, and improved sensorial properties. CONCLUSIONS The partially purified MCE obtained in this study is a promising milk coagulant that can replace calf rennet at a commercial scale to produce better-quality cheese with improved texture and flavor.

Abstract
Maltooligosaccharides (MOS) are functional oligosaccharides that can be synthesized through enzymatic cascade reaction between cyclodextrin glucanotransferase (CGTase) and maltogenic amylase (Mag1) from Bacillus lehensis G1. To address the problems of low operational stability and non-reusability of free enzymes, both enzymes were co-immobilized as combined cross-linked enzyme aggregates (Combi-CLEAs-CM) with incorporation of bovine serum albumin (BSA) and Tween 80 (Combi-CLEAs-CM-add). Combi-CLEAs-CM and Combi-CLEAs-CM-add showed activity recoveries of 54.12 % and 69.44 %, respectively after optimization. Combi-CLEAs-CM-add showed higher thermal stability at higher temperatures (40 °C) with longer half-life (46.20 min) as compared to those of free enzymes (36.67 min) and Combi-CLEAs-CM (41.51 min). Both combi-CLEAs also exhibited higher pH stability over pH 5 to pH 9, and displayed excellent reusability with >50 % of initial activity retained after four cycles. The reduction in Km value of about 22.80 % and 1.76-fold increase in starch hydrolysis in comparison to Combi-CLEAs-CM attested the improvement of enzyme-substrate interaction by Tween 80 and pores formation by BSA in Combi-CLEAs-CM-add. The improved product specificity of Combi-CLEAs-CM-add also produced the highest yield of MOS (492 mg/g) after 3 h. Therefore, Combi-CLEAs-CM-add with ease of preparation, excellent reusability and high operational stability is believed to be highly efficacious biocatalyst for MOS production.

Abstract
This study investigates the production of the enzyme cocktail by the isolated fungi Aspergillus flavus B2 (GenBank accession number OL655454) using agricultural and industrial (AI) residues as the sole substrate. Of all the AI residues tested, Jew's mallow stalk was the best inducer substrate for enzyme cocktail production without adding any nutrients. Statistical optimization using Response Surface Methodology enhanced the production by 5.45, 5.20, and 3.34-fold, respectively for pectinase, xylanase, and CMCase. Optimum temperature, activation energy (Ea), and activation energy for denaturation (Ed) were determined. Michaelis constant (Km) for CMCase, xylanase, and pectinase enzyme was 1.82, 1.23, and 1.05mg/mL, respectively. Maximum reaction rate (Vmax) was 4.67, 5.29, and 17.13U/mL, respectively for CMCase, xylanase, and pectinase. Thermal stability revealed that pectinase, CMCase, and xylanase enzymes retained 64.7, 61.8, and 53.2% residual activities after incubation for 1h at 50 °C. Half-life time (t0.5) of pectinase, CMCase, and xylanase at 50 °C were 189.38, 129.8, and 127.89min, respectively. Thermodynamics of the produced enzymes enthalpy (ΔH⁎d), free energy (ΔG⁎d), and entropy (ΔS⁎d) were determined at 40, 50, and 60°C. In the presence of EDTA (5mM), CMCase, xylanase, and pectinase retained 69.5, 66.2, and 41.2%, respectively of their activity. This work is significant for the valorization of AI residues and the production of value-added products.

Abstract
A thermostable acid protease from M. indicus leaves was purified 10-fold using a 4-step protocol. We were able to isolate a purified protease fraction with a molecular weight of 50 kDa and exhibited maximal protease activity at pH 4.0 and 40 °C. Structural analysis revealed that the protease is monomeric and non-glycosylated. The addition of epoxy monocarboxylic acid, iodoacetic acid, and dimethyl sulfoxide significantly reduced protease activity while dramatically increasing the inhibition of Mn2+, Fe2+, and Cu2+. The activation energy of the hydrolysis reaction (33.33 kJ mol-1) and activation energy (Ed = 105 kJ mol-1), the standard enthalpy variation of reversible protease unfolding (2.58 kJ/mol) were calculated after activity measurements at various temperatures. Thermal inactivation of the pure enzyme followed first-order kinetics. The half-life (t1/2) of the pure enzyme at 50 °C, 60 °C, and 70 °C was 385, 231, and 154 min, respectively. Thermodynamic parameters (entropy and enthalpy) suggested that the protease was highly thermostable. This is the first report on the thermodynamic parameters of proteases produced by M. indicus. The novel protease appears to be particularly thermostable and may be important for industrial applications based on these thermodynamic properties.

Abstract
Proteases, especially microbial proteases, are widely used in food processing. The purpose of this study was aimed to purify an extracellular protease produced by the strain Staphylococcus simulans QB7 and to evaluate its ability in hydrolyzing meat proteins and generating antioxidant and anti-inflammatory peptides. The optimal conditions for producing the enzyme were as follows: inoculum ratio, 10%; initial pH, 6.5; temperature, 32 °C; incubation time, 36 h; and rotation speed, 160 rpm. The protease had a molecular weight of approximately 47 kDa, possessing the optimal activity at 50 °C, pH 7.0, The protease was stable at pH 4.0-8.0 and 30-60 °C, and the activity was improved by Na+, Mg2+, Ca2+, and Zn2+ ions, whereas it was inhibited by Cu2+, Co2+, Fe3+, Ba2+, Fe2+, β-M, and ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid disodium salt (EDTA). The protease could effectively hydrolyze meat proteins, and the generated hydrolysate could significantly inhibit tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNFα)-induced oxidative stress, including superoxide and malondialdehyde levels and inflammation (vascular adhesion molecule-1 [VCAM-1] and cyclooxygenase 2 [COX2)) in human vascular EA.hy926 cells. The present findings support the ability of S. simulans QB7 protease in generating antioxidant and anti-inflammatory peptides during the fermentation of meat products.

Abstract
Proteases are important for decomposition of proteins to generate peptides or amino acids and have a broad range of applications in different industries. Herein, a gene encoding an alkaline protease (AprBcp) from Bacillus circulans R1 was cloned and bioinformatics analyzed. In addition, a series of strategies were applied to achieve high-level expression of AprBcp in Bacillus subtilis. The maximum activity of AprBcp reached 165,870 U/ml after 60 h fed-batch cultivation in 50 l bioreactor. The purified recombinant AprBcp exhibited maximum activity at 60°C and pH 10.0, and remained stable in the range from pH 8.0 to 11.0 and 30 to 45°C. Metal ions Ca2+, Mn2+, and Mg2+ could improve the stability of AprBcp. Furthermore, the recombinant AprBcp displayed great potential application on the recovery of protein from soybean dregs. The results of this study will provide an effective method to prepare AprBcp in B. subtilis and its potential application on utilization of soybean dregs.

Immobilization of Urease onto Nanochitosan Enhanced the Enzyme Efficiency: Biophysical Studies and in Vitro Clinical Application on Nephropathy Diabetic Iraqi Patients. JOURNAL OF NANOTECHNOLOGY 2022.

Abstract
Immobilization of enzymes is an effective method for improving the properties and applications of modern enzymes. There are several supports for enzyme immobilization. Because of its unique features, such as inertness and high surface area, chitosan was widely used to immobilize enzymes. Immobilization of urease onto chitosan is a promising approach to treating high urea levels in the blood, however, the immobilization conditions for the best kinetics and enzyme efficiency are still challenging. Herein, we tried to immobilize urease onto nanochitosan (chitosan NPs) through a cross-linker and study the kinetics (km and
values) and thermodynamics (Ea, ∆H, ∆S, and ∆G) parameters of the enzyme reaction before and after immobilization at different substrate concentration (50, 100, 150, 200, and 250 mg/dl) and incubation temperature (15, 20, 25, 30, 35, and 40°C) under selected optimum conditions. The immobilized urease chitosan NPs was characterized in our previous work using Fourier transform infrared
(FTIR), Atomic force
microscopy (AFM), and
imaged here by scanning electron microscopy
(SEM). Results revealed that the highest efficiency % of immobilization (70.38%) was observed at 750 mg/ml chitosan NPs and phosphate buffer pH 7 at 40°C. With an increase of Km value for the immobilized enzyme, however, the efficiency of the enzyme was significantly higher than the free enzyme,
. In addition, the activation energy of the reaction catalyzed by the immobilized enzyme was lower than that of the free enzyme, which suggests that the active site geometry of the immobilized enzyme was more favorable to accommodate the substrate and thus required less energy than that of the free enzyme. The reaction was endothermic by means of positive ∆H. The immobilized urease enzyme was in vitro applied to blood samples of Iraq nephropathy diabetic patients (n = 35) to investigate the effect on serum urease activity and urea level compared to healthy volunteers. Interestingly, the activity of serum urease significantly increased after adding the immobilized enzyme and the level of urea significantly decreased (
) by ∼1.5 folds. Thus, applying an immobilized urease
to remove urea from blood could be effective in the blood detoxification or dialysis regeneration system of artificial kidney machines.

Abstract
The protease generated from Staphylococcus (S.) xylosus A2, which was isolated from Harbin dry sausages, was purified and characterized. The molecular weight of the purified protease was approximately 21.5 kDa, and its relative activity reached the highest at pH 6.0 and 50 °C. At pH 4.0−8.0 and temperatures of 20−50 °C, the protease was stable. Its activity was significantly improved by Ca2+ and Zn2+ ions (p < 0.05). The Michaelis constant and maximum velocity of the protease were 2.94 mg/mL and 19.45 U/mL·min, respectively. The thermodynamic parameters analysis suggested that the protease showed better catalytic properties at 40 °C. Moreover, the protease could hydrolyze meat proteins, and obtained hydrolysate is non-cytotoxic to the HEK-293 cells. These findings provide a theoretical basis for understanding the enzymatic characterization of S. xylosus A2 protease and its future application in fermented meat products.

Abstract
Arylsulfatase is useful in industrial agar processing by removing sulfate groups. A full-length arylsulfatase gene, designated ArySMA1, was obtained from marine bacteria Serratia sp. SM1. The ArySMA1 gene encoded a novel serine-type arylsulfatase and the enzymatic properties were characterized. The enzyme presented notable capacity of removing sulfate groups from natural algae substrates. Kinetic study suggested that the microscopic thermal inactivation rate of ArySMA1 in free form was smaller than that of the enzyme-substrate complex. The presence of substrate could unexpectedly accelerate ArySMA1 to deactivate at high temperature. Such phenomenon was opposite to many findings that substrate could stabilize enzymes against heat. Molecular dynamics simulation and ANS fluorescent assay indicated the substrate led the hydrophobic regions of the active site more flexible and the sulfate group of the substrate could retard the processivity of ArySMA1 catalysis. This study provides guidance for agar desulfation and down-stream processing industry.

Abstract
This study aimed to better characterize a recently purified stable extracellular alkaline peptidase produced by Penicillium aurantiogriseum (URM 4622) through fluorescence spectroscopy, far-UV circular dichroism, kinetic and thermodynamic models to understand its' structure-activity and denaturation. Fluorescence data showed that changing pH leads to tryptophan residues exposure to more hydrophilic environments at optimum activity pH 9.0 and 10.0. When thermally treated, it displayed less unfolding at these pH values, along with 4-fold less photoproducts formation than at neutral pH. Different pH CD spectra showed more β-sheet (21.5-43.0%) than α-helix (1-6.2%). At pH9.0, more than 2-fold higher α-helix content than any other pH. The melting temperature (Tm) was observed between 50 and 60 °C at all pH studied, with lower Tm at pH 9.0-11.0 (54.9-50.3 °C). The protease displayed two phase transition, with two energies of denaturation, and a 4-fold higher thermal stability (ΔH°m) than reports for other microorganism's proteases. An irreversible folding transition occurs between 50 and 60 °C. It displayed energies of denaturation suggesting higher thermal stability than reported for other microorganism's proteases. These results help elucidating the applicability of this new stable protease.

Abstract
Microbial proteases are commonly produced by submerged (SmF) or solid-state fermentation (SSF), whose combination results in an unconventional method, called sequential fermentation (SF), which has already been used only to produce cellulolytic enzymes. In this context, the aim of the present study was the development of a novel SF method for protease production using wheat bran as a substrate. Moreover, the kinetic and thermodynamic parameters of azocasein hydrolysis were estimated, thus providing a greater understanding of the catalytic reaction. In SF, an approximately 9-fold increase in protease activity was observed compared to the conventional SmF method. Optimization of glucose concentration and medium volume by statistical means allowed us to achieve a maximum protease activity of 180.17 U mL−1. The obtained enzyme had an optimum pH and temperature of 7.0 and 50 °C, respectively. Kinetic and thermodynamic parameters highlighted that such a neutral protease is satisfactorily thermostable at 50 °C, a temperature commonly used in many applications in the food industry. The results obtained suggested not only that SF could be a promising alternative to produce proteases, but also that it could be adapted to produce several other enzymes.

Abstract
In the current study, kinetic and thermodynamic parameters of free and polyacrylamide-immobilized CMCase were analyzed. The maximum immobilization yield of 34 ± 1.7% was achieved at 11% acrylamide. The enthalpy of activation (ΔH) of free and immobilized enzyme was found to be 13.61 and 0.29 kJ mol-1, respectively. Irreversible inactivation energy of free and immobilized CMCase was 96.43 and 99.01 kJ mol-1, respectively. Similarly, the enthalpy of deactivation (ΔHd) values for free and immobilized enzyme were found to be in the range of 93.51-93.76 kJ mol-1 and 96.08-96.33 kJ mol-1, respectively. Michaelis-Menten constant (Km) increased from 1.267 ± 0.06 to 1.5891 ± 0.07 mg ml-1 and the maximum reaction rate (Vmax) value decreased (8319.47 ± 416 to 5643.34 ± 282 U ml-1 min-1) after immobilization. Due to wide pH and temperature stability profile with sufficient reusing efficiency up to three successive cycles, the immobilized CMCase might be useful for various industrial processes.

Abstract
Haloalkane dehalogenase DhaA can catalyze the hydrolytic cleavage of carbonhalogen bonds, along with production of the corresponding alcohol, a proton and a halide. However, DhaA suffers from poor environmental tolerance, such as sensitivity to high temperature, low pH and hypersaline. Arabinogalactan (AG) is a hydrophilic polysaccharide with highly branched long chains. DhaA was conjugated with AG to improve the environmental stability of DhaA in the present study. Each DhaA was averagely conjugated with 4∼5 AG molecules. Conjugation of AG essentially maintained the enzymatic activity of DhaA (91.4 %) without apparent structural alteration. The hydration layer formed by AG could reduce the solvent accessible area of DhaA and slow the protonation process, thereby improving the pH and high salt stability of DhaA. In particular, the remaining activities of the conjugate (AG-DhaA) were 35.3 % after treatment at pH4.0 for 1 h, and 80.8 % in 1 M NaCl after treatment for 16 h. As compared with DhaA, AG-DhaA showed slightly different kinetic parameters (K M of 1.90 μmol/L and k cat of 2.60 s -1).

Abstract
The characteristics of the extracellular protease, produced by Staphylococcus carnosus RT6 isolated from Harbin dry sausages, and its hydrolysis of meat proteins were investigated. The protease was purified by ammonium sulfate, ion exchange, and gel filtration chromatography to obtain a 20.0 kDa extracellular protease. The protease reached maximal activity at pH 9.0 and 50 °C and was stable at pH 7.0 to 11.0 and 20 to 40 °C. Its protease activity was easily inhibited in the presence of Zn2+ , Fe2+ , and Fe3+ . The enzymatic characterization of the protease revealed a Vmax 49.50 U/ml·min, Km 8.19 mg/ml, and the half-life = 28.06 min, ΔH* d = 114.11 kJ/mol, ΔG* d = 89.24 kJ/mol, and ΔS* d = 77.00 J/mol·K at 50 °C. In addition, the protease hydrolyzed meat protein into small particles and produced soluble peptides. This study provides a basis for understanding the biochemical characteristics of the S. carnosus RT6 protease and its future application for fermented meat products.

Abstract
The present study evaluated the influence of the variables polyethylene glycol (PEG) molar mass, pH, PEG concentration and sodium citrate concentration in the integrated production of the protease from Aspergillus tamarii Kita UCP1279 by extractive fermentation, obtaining as a response the partition coefficient (K), activity yield (Y) and concentration factor (CF). The enzyme preferably partitioned to the top phase and obtained in the system formed by variables MPEG = 400 g mol-1, CPEG = 20% (w w-1), and CCIT = 20% (w w-1) and pH 6, in this condition were obtained CF = 1.90 and Y = 79.90%. The protease showed stability at a temperature of 60 °C for 180 min, with optimum temperature 40 °C and pH 8.0. For the ions and inhibitors effects, the protease activity increased when exposed to Fe2+, Ca2+ and Zn2 + and inhibited by EDTA, being classified as metalloprotease. The kinetic parameters Km (35.63 mg mL-1) and Vmax (1.205 mg mL-1 min-1) were also estimated. Thus, the protease showed desirable characteristics that enable future industrial applications, especially, for beer industry.

Abstract
In the current study, CMCase from Bacillus licheniformis KIBGE-IB2 was immobilized within the matrix of agarose gel through entrapment technique. Maximum immobilization yield (%) of the enzyme was obtained when 2.0 % agarose was used. The activation energy (Ea) of the enzyme increased from 16.38 to 44.08 kJ mol-1 after immobilization. Thermodynamic parameters such as activation energy of deactivation (ΔGd), enthalpy (ΔHd) and entropy (ΔSd) of deactivation, deactivation rate constant (Kd), half-life (t1/2), D-value and z-value were calculated for native/free and immobilized CMCase. The maximum reaction rate (Vmax) of the native enzyme was found to be 8319.47 U ml-1 min-1, which reduced to 7218.1 U ml-1 min-1after immobilization process. However, the Michaelis-Menten constant (Km) value of the enzyme increased from 1.236 to 2.769 mg ml-1 min-1 after immobilization. Immobilized enzyme within agarose gel matrix support can be reuse up to eight reaction cycles. Broad stability profile and improved catalytic properties of the immobilized CMCase indicated that this enzyme can be a plausible candidate to be used in various industrial processes.

Abstract
Extracellular protease production by a novel strain, Bacillus sp. EBTA6, has been optimized by using central composite design of response surface methodology and properties and industrial applications of crude enzyme have been investigated. Three independent variables (temperature, pH and yeast extract concentration) chosen in the experimental design were significant terms and reduced cubic model fit with the design at p < 0.0001 level. The recommended temperature, pH and yeast extract concentration were 30 °C, 8, and 15 g/L, respectively. Crude enzyme displayed activity over a wide pH and temperature ranges having the optimum at 50-60 °C and pH 8. It was quite stable at high pH values and at 50 °C. Amongst the metal ions (Mg+, Cu2+, Ca2+, Zn2+, K2+, and Sn2+), Ca2+ enhanced the activity and the others either decreased or did not change it. The enzyme activity was reduced by phenyl-methyl-sulfonyl fluoride (PMSF), and ethylene diamine tetra acetic acid (EDTA). The results revealed that the protease was serine alkaline type. Tween 20 and Tween 80 did not inhibit the enzyme, however, sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), reduced it by 39%. It completely removed blood stain in 20 min and coagulated milk in the presence of CaCl2.

Kinetic/thermodynamic study of immobilized β-fructofuranosidase from Aspergillus tamarii URM4634 in chitosan beads and application on invert sugar production in packed bed reactor. Food Res Int 2020; 137:109730. [PMID: 33233298 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodres.2020.109730] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/31/2020] [Revised: 09/13/2020] [Accepted: 09/13/2020] [Indexed: 01/14/2023]
Abstract
β-fructofuranosidase (FFase) from Aspergillus tamarii URM4634 was immobilized covalently in chitosan beads. It was characterized biochemically, studied in terms of kinetic and thermodynamic parameters, and applied on conversion of sucrose for invert sugar production in a packed bed reactor (PBR). The optimum reactional conditions were determined and obtained at pH 5.0 and 60 °C. FFase was thermostable at 50-55°C. At 50°C, the enzyme shows longer half-life (t1/2) (594.13 min) and a higher D-value (1,973.64 min). This indicates that immobilized FFase was stable at temperature commonly used in invert sugar production. The following thermodynamic parameters were obtained: activation energy (E*d = 301.57 kJ mol-1), enthalpy (298.76 ≤ ΔH*d ≤ 298.89 kJ mol-1), entropy (579.88 ≤ ΔS*d ≤ 589.27 J K-1 mol-1) and Gibbs free energy (100.29 ≤ ΔG*d ≤ 108.47 kJ mol-1). The high E*d, ΔH*d and ΔG*d values confirmed FFase thermostability. The high and positive values for ΔS*d indicate an increase in disorder due opening of the enzyme structure. The sucrose hydrolysis in PBR showed a maximum invert sugar yield (96.0%) at 15 min of operation. The hydrolysis process remained efficient up to 100 min (70.22%). The results obtained in the present study provide a good indication that immobilized FFase on chitosan beads in PBR is efficient to invert sugar production for food industry.

Abstract
A protease from the fungus Mucor subtilissimus URM 4133, capable of producing bioactive peptides from goat casein, was purified. SDS-PAGE and zymography showed a molecular mass of 30 kDa. The enzyme was active and stable in a wide pH range (6.0–10.5) and (5.0–10.5), respectively. Optimum temperature was at 45–50 °C and stability was above 80 % (40 °C/2 h). Activity was not influenced by ions or organic substances (Triton, Tween, SDS and DMSO), but was completely inhibited by PMSF, suggesting that it belongs to the serine protease family. The Km and Vmax were 2.35 mg azocasein.mL-1 and 333.33 U.mg protein-1, respectively. Thermodynamic parameters of irreversible denaturation (40–60 °C) were enthalpy 123.63 – 123.46 kJ.mol-1, entropy 120.24–122.28 kJ.mol-1 and Gibbs free energy 85.97 – 82.45 kJ.mol-1. Any peptide sequences compatible with this protease were found after analysis by MALDI-TOF, which suggests that it is a new serine protease.

Abstract
In this study, a strain producing β-glucanase and protease, identified as Bacillus velezensis Y1, was isolated from the manure of piglet. We attempted to produce β-glucanase and protease after optimization of various process parameters with the submerged fermentation. The effects of each factor on producing β-glucanase and protease were as follows: temperature > time > pH > loaded liquid volume. The properties of the β-glucanase showed that the most suitable reaction temperature was 65 °C and pH was 6.0. However for protease optimum reaction temperature was 50 °C, and pH was 6.0. The amplified PCR fragments of β-glucanase and protease were 1434 bp containing an open reading frame of 1413 bp encoding a protein with 444 amino acids and 1752 bp containing an open reading frame of 1521 bp encoding a protein with 506 amino acids, respectively. So, the study demonstrated a viable approach of using newly identified B. velezensis Y1 strain for the maximum yield of two industrially important enzymes.

Abstract
The proteolytic strain Bacillus cereus-S6-3 was subjected to mutagenic treatments viz. UV irradiations and methyl methane sulfonate (MMS). The obtained mutant strain, B. cereus-S6-3/UM90 showed 1.34 fold over the parent strain. Molecular characterization of proteases from the parent (PP/S6-3) and mutant (PM/UM90) strains indicated that they were consisted of two domains and binds a zinc ion and 4 calcium ions in the active site. Amino acid sequence alignment of PM/UM90 protease showed 19 amino acid residues were substituted compared to that of the wild-type enzyme. However, both proteases contained equal number of aromatic and hydrophobic amino acids. Protease from PM/UM90 showed an effective improvement in thermal properties in terms of reaction temperature, t1/2, the values of kd, activation energy (Ea), and decimal reduction time (D) within the temperature range from 60 to 80 °C. In addition, the kinetic and thermodynamic parameters for substrate hydrolysis (i.e., Km, Vmax, ΔH*, ΔG*, ΔS*, kcat, Vmax/Km, kcat/Km, ΔG*E-T and ΔG*E-S) showed a significant improvement of the catalytic efficiency for PM/UM90 protease. Furthermore, the correlation between thermodynamic properties and the patterns of amino acid substitution of wild-type enzyme to has been discussed.

Abstract
Proteases play an essential role in living organisms and represent one of the largest groups of industrial enzymes. The aim of this work was recombinant production and characterization of a newly identified thermostable protease 1147 from thermophilum indigenous Cohnella sp. A01. Phylogenetic tree analysis showed that protease 1147 is closely related to the cysteine proteases from DJ-1/ThiJ/PfpI superfamily, with the conserved catalytic tetrad. Structural prediction using MODELLER 9v7 indicated that protease 1147 has an overall α/β sandwich tertiary structure. The gene of protease 1147 was cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli (E. coli) BL21. The recombinant protease 1147 appeared as a homogenous band of 18 kDa in SDS-PAGE, which was verified by western blot and zymography. The recombinant protein was purified with a yield of approximately 88% in a single step using Ni-NTA affinity chromatography. Furthermore, a rapid one-step thermal shock procedure was successfully implemented to purify the protein with a yield of 73%. Using casein as the substrate, Km, and kcat, kcat/Km values of 13.72 mM, 3.143 × 10−3 (s-1), and 0.381 (M-1 S-1) were obtained, respectively. The maximum protease activity was detected at pH = 7 and 60°C with the inactivation rate constant (kin) of 2.10 × 10–3 (m-1), and half-life (t1/2) of 330.07 min. Protease 1147 exhibited excellent stability to organic solvent, metal ions, and 1% SDS. The protease activity was significantly enhanced by Tween 20 and Tween 80 and suppressed by cysteine protease specific inhibitors. Docking results and molecular dynamics (MD) simulation revealed that Tween 20 interacted with protease 1147 via hydrogen bonds and made the structure more stable. CD and fluorescence spectra indicated structural changes taking place at 100°C, very basic and acidic pH, and in the presence of Tween 20. These properties make this newly characterized protease a potential candidate for various biotechnological applications.

Abstract
This report describes purification strategies, biochemical properties and thermodynamic analysis of an alkaline serine protease from a marine actinomycete, Nocardiopsis dassonvillei strain OK-18. The solvent tolerance, broad thermal-pH stability, favourable kinetics and thermodynamics suggest stability of the enzymatic reaction. The enzyme was active in the range of pH 7-12 and 37-90 °C, optimally at pH 9 and 70 °C. The deactivation rate constant (Kd), half-life (t½), enthalpy (ΔH*), entropy (ΔS*), activation energy (E) and change in free energy (ΔG*) suggested stability and spontaneity of the reaction. β-Sheets as revealed by the Circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy, were the major elements in the secondary structure of the enzyme, while Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) indicated the presence of amide I and amide II. Based on the liquid chromatography quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (LC-QToF-MS) analysis, the amino acid sequence had only 38% similarity with other proteases of Nocardiopsis strains, suggesting its novelty. The Ramachandran Plot revealed the location of the amino acid residues in the most favored region. The blood de-staining, gelatin hydrolysis, silver recovery and deproteinization of crab shells established the biotechnological potential of the enzyme.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Our laboratory has constructed a Bacillus licheniformis strain that secretes alkaline protease (AprE) with excellent enzymatic properties. B. licheniformis is generally regarded as safe and has a high industrial exoenzyme secretion capacity, but the host retains some undomesticated characteristic that increase its competitiveness and survival, such as spore-formation, which increases the requirements and difficulties in industrial operations (e.g. sterilization and enzyme activity control). Furthermore, the influence of sporulation on alkaline protease production in B. licheniformis has not been elucidated in detail. RESULT A series of asporogenic variants of the parent strain were constructed by individually knocking out the master regulator genes (spo0A, sigF and sigE) involved in sporulation. Most of the variants formed abortively disporic cells characterized by asymmetric septa at the poles and unable to survive incubation at 75 °C for 10 min. Two of them (ΔsigF and ΔsigE) exhibited superior characteristics in protease production, especially improving the expression of the aprE gene. Under the currently used fermentation conditions, the vegetative production phase of ΔsigF can be prolonged to 72 h, and the highest protease production of ΔsigF reached 29,494 ± 1053 U/mL, which was about 19.7% higher than that of the wild-type strain. CONCLUSION We first constructed three key sporulation-deficient strain to investigate the effect of sporulation on alkaline protease synthesis. The sigF mutant retained important industrial properties such as facilitating the sterilization process, a prolonged stable phase of enzyme production and slower decreasing trend, which will be superior in energy conservation, simpler operations and target product controlling effect. In summary, the work provides a useful industrial host with preferable characteristics and a novel strategy to enhance the production of protease.

Abstract
Bacillus megaterium 314 strain was able to utilize agricultural and industrial wastes for metallo-protease production. Orange peel and wheat bran were found as the most suitable carbon and nitrogen sources, respectively. Optimized production process enhanced the enzyme production by 5.1-folds. Glass and glass-ceramic with different particle sizes based on mica were used as inorganic carrier. Protease enzyme was immobilized by covalent bonding and physical adsorption methods on nanoparticle supports. Enzyme physically adsorbed on glass ceramic (particle size 0.71-1.0 mm) had the highest residual activity and the highest immobilization yield. Glass-ceramic was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Immobilized enzyme exhibited activation energy (E a ) and deactivation rate constant at 60 °C (k d ) about 1.29 and 1.46-times, respectively lower than free enzyme. Moreover, adsorbed enzyme had higher energy for denaturation (E d ), half-life (t 1/2 ), and decimal reduction time (D). The thermodynamic parameters of irreversible thermal denaturation for the protease enzyme indicate that immobilized enzyme had higher enthalpy (ΔH°), free energy (ΔG°), and entropy (ΔS°) than free one. There was a significant improvement in the maximum reaction velocity Vmax (2.5-fold), Michaelis constant Km (1.9-fold), and catalytic efficiency Vmax/Km (4.7-fold) values after immobilization indicating the efficiency and effectiveness of immobilization approach.

Abstract
Milk clotting enzyme (MCE) produced by Bacillus subtilis KU710517 was conjugated to several activated polysaccharides. Among all the conjugates, the enzyme conjugated with polyethylene glycol (PEG) exhibited the highest retained activity (551U/mg protein) with a recovered activity of 95.3%. The activation energy of PEG-conjugated enzyme was calculated as 24.56kJ·mol-1which was lower than that of the native one (29.27kJ·mol-1) however, the temperature quotient (Q10) was about 1.08 for the two forms of the enzyme. The calculated half-life times of PEG-conjugated enzyme at 55 and 60°C were 317.78 and 128.6min respectively, whereas at the same temperatures the native enzyme had lower half-life times (53 and 19.6min respectively). The data of thermodynamic analysis for substrate catalysis including the specificity constant (Vmax/Km), turnover number (kcat), catalytic efficiency (kcat/Km), enthalpy of activation (ΔH*), free energy of activation (ΔG*), free energy for transition state formation ΔG*E-T and free energy of substrate binding ΔG*E-S were determined for both native and PEG-conjugated enzyme. In addition, the thermodynamic parameters for irreversible inactivation (ΔH, ΔG, ΔS) were evaluated. The calculated results indicated that the catalytic properties after the PEG-conjugation were significantly improved.

Abstract
An extracellular alkaline stable protease BS1 from a new bacteria strain, Bacillus safensis S406, isolated from the Sfax solar saltern, was purified and characterized. The enzyme was purified to homogeneity by ammonium sulfate precipitation, Sephadex G-75 gel filtration, Mono-Q anion-exchange chromatography and ultrafiltration, with a 12.70-fold increase in specific activity and 20.29% recovery. The enzyme has a molecular weight of 29kDa and appeared as a single band on native-PAGE. The optimum pH and temperature values of its proteolytic activity were pH 11.0 and 60°C, respectively. BS1 was tested for the deproteinization of shrimp wastes to extract chitin. An enzyme-protein ratio of 10U/mg of proteins allows to eliminate 93% of protein linked to the chitin after 3h hydrolysis at 45°C. Being very active in alkaline conditions, the potential application of BS1 in laundry formulation was investigated. The enzyme showed high stability in the presence of non-ionic surfactants and some commercial liquid and solid detergents, suggesting its eventual use in detergent formulations.

Chitin extraction from blue crab (Portunus segnis) and shrimp (Penaeus kerathurus) shells using digestive alkaline proteases from P. segnis viscera. Int J Biol Macromol 2017; 101:455-463. [PMID: 28336276 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2017.02.103] [Citation(s) in RCA: 64] [Impact Index Per Article: 9.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/19/2016] [Revised: 02/02/2017] [Accepted: 02/09/2017] [Indexed: 11/26/2022]
Abstract
Since chitin is closely associated with proteins, deproteinization is a crucial step in the process of extracting chitin. Thus, this research aimed to extract chitin from Portunus segnis and Penaeus kerathurus shells by means of crude digestive alkaline proteases from the viscera of P. segnis, regarding deproteinization step, as an alternative to chemical treatment. Casein zymography revealed that five caseinolytic proteases bands exist, suggesting the presence of at least five different major proteases. The optimum pH and temperature for protease activity were pH 8.0 and 60°C, respectively, using casein as a substrate. The crude enzymes extract was highly stable at low temperatures and over a wide range of pH from 6.0 to 12.0. The crude alkaline protease extract was found to be effective in the deproteinization of blue crab and shrimp shells, to produce chitin. The best efficiency in deproteinization (84.69±0.65% for blue crab shells and 91.06±1.40% for shrimp shells) was achieved with an E/S ratio of 5U/mg of proteins after 3h incubation at 50°C. These results suggest that enzymatic deproteinization of crab and shrimp wastes by fish endogenous alkaline proteases could be a potential alternative in the chitin production process.
