Abstract
Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic, non-specific inflammatory sickness of the intestinal tract, chiefly implicating the rectum and colon, which is characterized by chronic or subacute diarrhea, mucopurulent stools, and abdominal pain. The pathogeny of UC is still uncertain, and it is thought that multiple factors interact to cause the disease, such as environment, genetics, gut microbes, and immunity. Injuring the intestinal barrier is one of the most significant features of UC and includes mechanical, chemical, immune, and biological barriers. Plenty of research has shown that probiotics, as profitable bacteria in the gut, can play a prominent role in the treatment of UC by improving gut barrier function and modulating gut immunity. Lactobacillus plantarum (L. plantarum), a common probiotic, has made outstanding contributions to food and medicine, and many studies in recent years have shown that L. plantarum has great preventive and therapeutic effects on ulcerative colitis and restores the intestinal barrier. This paper reviews the mechanisms of L. plantarum for improving the intestinal barrier function of UC organisms, mainly including regulating the immune response, inhibiting oxidative stress, raising the expression of tight junction (TJ) proteins, promoting the formation of mucin, improving the composition of gut flora, and raising the levels of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), which offers some help for the clinical therapy of UC.

Front Microbiol 2023; 14:1164815. [PMID: 37206334 PMCID: PMC10189120 DOI: 10.3389/fmicb.2023.1164815] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/13/2023] [Accepted: 03/30/2023] [Indexed: 05/21/2023] Open
Abstract
Deacetyl-7-aminocephalosporanic acid (D-7-ACA), which could be converted from 7-aminocephalosporanic acid (7-ACA), is a crucial starting material that is used for synthesizing industrial semisynthetic β-lactam antibiotics. Enzymes involved in the conversion from 7-ACA to D-7-ACA present critical resources in the pharmaceutical industry. In the present study, a putative acetylesterase, EstSJ, identified from Bacillus subtilis KATMIRA1933, was first heterologously expressed in Escherichia coli BL21(DE3) cells and biochemically characterized. EstSJ belongs to carbohydrate esterase family 12 and is active on short-chain acyl esters from p-NPC2 to p-NPC6. Multiple sequence alignments showed that EstSJ was also an SGNH family esterase with a typical GDS(X) motif at its N-terminal end and a catalytic triad composed of Ser186-Asp354-His357. The purified EstSJ displayed the highest specific activity of 1,783.52 U mg-1 at 30°C and pH 8.0, and was stable within the pH range of 5.0-11.0. EstSJ can deacetylate the C3' acetyl group of 7-ACA to generate D-7-ACA, and the deacetylation activity was 4.50 U mg-1. Based on the structural and molecular docking with 7-ACA, the catalytic active sites (Ser186-Asp354-His357) together with four substrate-binding residues (Asn259, Arg295, Thr355, and Leu356) of EstSJ are revealed. This study provided a promising 7-ACA deacetylase candidate that could be applied to produce D-7-ACA from 7-ACA in the pharmaceutical industry.

Abstract
We prospected a novel arylesterase LggEst from the probiotics Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus GG by genome mining strategy, and characterized the enzymatic properties in detail. Biochemical characterization revealed that arylesterase LggEst presented high activity at a wide range of temperatures from 25 to 65 °C with maximum activity at 50 °C. LggEst maintained high activity in the pH range from 5.5 to 7.5 with optimum pH of 6.5. LggEst might efficiently hydrolyze a series of aryl substrates p-nitrophenyl esters with different acyl chain lengths. LggEst displayed the Vmax from 2.8 to 77.3 μmol min-1 mg-1 protein and the k cat from 1.8 to 48.8 s-1 with the highest catalytic activity on pNPC6. The K M of LggEst on different substrates varied significantly from 4.9 μM to 5.6 mM with the highest affinity on pNPC10. LggEst exhibited the preference for medium- and long-chain p-nitrophenyl esters. LggEst showed remarkable thermostability at 45 °C. LggEst could be tolerant of several organic solvents at the concentration of 10% and DMSO and methanol at the concentration of 20%. Catalytic activity of LggEst was improved by 12% in the presence of 20% ethylene glycol. LggEst was resistant to high concentrations of sodium citrate and sodium chloride. Notably, enzymatic activity of LggEst was significantly enhanced in the presence of 0.1% sodium deoxycholate at high temperatures.

A novel esterase DacA pva from Comamonas sp. strain NyZ500 with deacetylation activity for acetylated polymer polyvinyl alcohol. Appl Environ Microbiol 2021; 87:AEM.03016-20.

Abstract
As a water-soluble polymer, the widely used polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) is produced from hydrolysis of polyvinyl acetate. Microbial PVA carbon backbone cleavage via a two-step reaction of dehydrogenation and hydrolysis has been well studied. Content of acetyl group is a pivotal factor affecting performance of PVA derivatives in industrial application, and deacetylation is a non-negligible part in PVA degradation. However, the genetic and biochemical studies of its deacetylation remain largely elusive. Here, Comamonas sp. strain NyZ500 was isolated for its capability of growing on acetylated PVA from activated sludge. A spontaneous PVA-utilization deficient mutant strain NyZ501 was obtained when strain NyZ500 was cultured in rich media. Comparative analysis between the genomes of these two strains revealed a fragment (containing a putative hydrolase gene dacApva ) deletion in NyZ501 and dacApva-complemented strain NyZ501 restored the ability to grow on PVA. DacApva, which shares 21% identity with xylan esterase AxeA1 from Prevotella ruminicola 23, is a unique deacetylase catalyzing the conversion of acetylated PVA and its derivatives to deacetylated counterparts. This indicates that strain NyZ500 utilizes acetylated PVA via acetate as a carbon source to grow. DacApva also possessed the deacetylation ability for acetylated xylan and the antibiotic intermediate 7-aminocephalosporanic acid (7ACA) but the enzymes for the above two compounds had no activities against PVA derivatives. This study enhanced our understanding of the diversity of microbial degradation of PVA and DacApva characterized here is also a potential biocatalyst for the eco-friendly biotransformation of PVA derivatives and other acetylated compounds.IMPORTANCE: Water-soluble PVA, which possesses a very robust ability to accumulate in the environment, has a very grave environmental impact due to its widespread use in industrial and household applications. On the other hand, chemical transformation of PVA derivatives is currently being carried out at high energy consumption and high pollution conditions using hazardous chemicals (such as NaOH, methanol) under high temperatures. The DacApva reported here performs PVA deacetylation under mild conditions, then it has a great potential to be developed into an eco-friendly biocatalyst for biotransformation of PVA derivatives. DacApva also has deacetylation activity for compounds other than PVA derivatives, which facilitates its development into a broad-spectrum deacetylation biocatalyst for production of certain desired compounds.

Abstract
Two extracellular enzymes of the SGNH hydrolase superfamily reveal highly homologous 3D structures, but act on different substrates; one is a true phospholipase A1 from Streptomyces albidoflavus (SaPLA1, EC: 3.1.1.32, PDB code: 4HYQ), whereas the promiscuous enzyme from Streptomyces rimosus (SrLip, EC: 3.1.1.3, PDB code: 5MAL) exhibits lipase, phospholipase, esterase, thioesterase, and Tweenase activities. To get insight into binding modes of phospholipid and triglyceride substrates in both enzymes and understand their chain-length preferences, we opted for computational approach based on in silico prepared enzyme-substrate complexes. Docking procedure and molecular dynamics simulations at microsecond time scale were applied. The modelled complexes of SaPLA1 and SrLip enzymes revealed substrate accommodation: a) the acyl-chain attached to sn-1 position fits into the hydrophobic pocket, b) the acyl-chain attached to sn-2 position fits in the hydrophobic cleft, whereas c) the sn-3 bound acyl chain of the triglyceride or polar head of the glycerophospholipid fits into the binding groove. Moreover, our results pinpointed subtle amino acid differences in the hydrophobic pockets of these two enzymes which accommodate the acyl chain attached to sn-1 position of glycerol to be responsible for the chain length preference. Slight differences in the binding grooves of SaPLA1 and SrLip, which accommodate the acyl chain attached to sn-3 position are responsible for exclusive phospholipase and both phospholipase/lipase activities of these two enzymes, respectively. The results of modelling correlate with the experimentally obtained kinetic parameters given in the literature and are important for protein engineering that aims to obtain a variant of enzyme, which would preferably act on the substrate of interest.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Biodiesel and flavor compound production using enzymatic transesterification by microbial lipases provides mild reaction conditions and low energy cost compared to the chemical process. SGNH-type lipases are very effective catalysts for enzymatic transesterification due to their high reaction rate, great stability, relatively small size for convenient genetic manipulations, and ease of immobilization. Hence, it is highly important to identify novel SGNH-type lipases with high catalytic efficiencies and good stabilities. RESULTS A promiscuous cold-adapted SGNH-type lipase (HaSGNH1) from Halocynthiibacter arcticus was catalytically characterized and functionally explored. HaSGNH1 displayed broad substrate specificity that included tert-butyl acetate, glucose pentaacetate, and p-nitrophenyl esters with excellent stability and high efficiency. Important amino acids (N83, M86, R87, F131, and I173F) around the substrate-binding pocket were shown to be responsible for catalytic activity, substrate specificity, and reaction kinetics. Moreover, immobilized HaSGNH1 was used to produce high yields of butyl and oleic esters. CONCLUSIONS This work provides a molecular understanding of substrate specificities, catalytic regulation, immobilization, and industrial applications of a promiscuous cold-adapted SGNH-type lipase (HaSGNH1) from H. arcticus. This is the first analysis on biodiesel and flavor synthesis using a cold-adapted halophilic SGNH-type lipase from a Halocynthiibacter species.

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
OBJECTIVES To obtain a new acetyl esterase from Paenibacillus sp. XW-6-66 and apply the enzyme to 7-aminocephalosporanic acid (7-ACA) deacetylation. RESULTS The acetyl esterase AesZY was identified from Paenibacillus sp. XW-6-66, and its enzymatic properties were investigated. With the putative catalytic triad Ser114-Asp203-His235, AesZY belongs to the Acetyl esterase (Aes) family which is included in the α/β hydrolase superfamily and contains the consensus Gly-X-Ser-X-Gly motif. The maximum activity of AesZY was detected at pH 8.0 and 40 °C. AesZY was stable at different pH values ranging from 5.0 to 12.0, and was tolerant to several metal ions. Furthermore, the deacetylation activity of AesZY toward 7-ACA was approximately 7.5 U/mg, and the Kcat/Km value was 2.04 s-1 mM-1. CONCLUSIONS Our results demonstrate the characterization of a new acetyl esterase belonging to the Aes family with potential biotechnological applications.

Abstract
Fumarylacetoacetate hydrolase (FAH) is essential for the degradation of aromatic amino acids as well as for the cleavage of carbon-carbon bonds in metabolites or small organic compounds. Here, the X-ray crystal structure of EaFAH, a dimeric fumarylacetoacetate hydrolase from Exiguobacterium antarcticum, was determined, and its functional properties were investigated using biochemical methods. EaFAH adopts a mixed β-sandwich roll fold with a highly flexible lid region (Val73-Leu94), and an Mg2+ ion is bound at the active site by coordinating to the three carboxylate oxygen atoms of Glu124, Glu126, and Asp155. The hydrolytic activity of EaFAH toward various substrates, including linalyl acetate was investigated using native polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, activity staining, gel filtration, circular dichroism spectroscopy, fluorescence, and enzyme assays.

Abstract
Lactobacillus plantarum (widespread member of the genus Lactobacillus) is one of the most studied species extensively used in food industry as probiotic microorganism and/or microbial starter. The exploitation of Lb. plantarum strains with their long history in food fermentation forms an emerging field and design of added-value foods. Lb. plantarum strains were also used to produce new functional (traditional/novel) foods and beverages with improved nutritional and technological features. Lb. plantarum strains were identified from many traditional foods and characterized for their systematics and molecular taxonomy, enzyme systems (α-amylase, esterase, lipase, α-glucosidase, β-glucosidase, enolase, phosphoketolase, lactase dehydrogenase, etc.), and bioactive compounds (bacteriocin, dipeptides, and other preservative compounds). This review emphasizes that the Lb. plantarum strains with their probiotic properties can have great effects against harmful microflora (foodborne pathogens) to increase safety and shelf-life of fermented foods.

Abstract
Lactic acid bacteria, which are involved in the fermentation of vegetables, meats, and dairy products, are widely used for the productions of small organic molecules and bioactive peptides. Here, a novel acetylesterase (LaAcE) from Lactobacillus acidophilus NCFM was identified, functionally characterized, immobilized, and subjected to site-directed mutagenesis for biotechnological applications. The enzymatic properties of LaAcE were investigated using biochemical and biophysical methods including native polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, acetic acid release, biochemical assays, enzyme kinetics, and spectroscopic methods. Interestingly, LaAcE exhibited the ability to act on a broad range of substrates including glucose pentaacetate, glyceryl tributyrate, fish oil, and fermentation-related compounds. Furthermore, immobilization of LaAcE showed good recycling ability and high thermal stability compared with free LaAcE. A structural model of LaAcE was used to guide mutational analysis of hydrophobic substrate-binding region, which was composed of Leu156, Phe164, and Val204. Five mutants (L156A, F164A, V204A, L156A/F164A, and L156A/V204A) were generated and investigated to elucidate the roles of these hydrophobic residues in substrate specificity. This work provided valuable insights into the properties of LaAcE, and demonstrated that LaAcE could be used as a model enzyme of acetylesterase in lactic acid bacteria, making LaAcE a great candidate for industrial applications.
