Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 261:129550. [PMID: 38244734 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.129550] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/22/2023] [Revised: 01/06/2024] [Accepted: 01/15/2024] [Indexed: 01/22/2024]
Abstract
The enzyme α-Galactosidase (α-D-galactoside galactohydrolase [EC 3.2.1.22]) is an exoglycosidase that hydrolyzes the terminal α-galactosyl moieties of glycolipids and glycoproteins. It is ubiquitous in nature and possesses extensive applications in the food, pharma, and biotechnology industries. The present study aimed to purify α-galactosidase from Klebsiella pneumoniae, a bacterium isolated from the human oral cavity. The purification steps involved ammonium sulfate precipitation (70 %), dialysis, ion exchange chromatography using a DEAE-cellulose column, and affinity monolith chromatography. The sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) analysis was used to determine the molecular weight of the purified enzyme. The kinetic constants, Michaelis constant (Km) and maximal velocity (Vmax), for this enzyme were determined by using p-nitrophenyl-α-D-galactopyranoside as substrate. The results showed that the purification fold, specific activity, and yield were 126.52, 138.58 units/mg, and 21.5 %, respectively. The SDS-PAGE showed that the molecular weight of the purified enzyme was 75 kDa. The optimum pH and temperature of the purified α-galactosidase were detected at pH 6.0 and 50 °C, respectively. The kinetic constants, Michaelis constant (Km) and maximal velocity (Vmax), for this enzyme were 4.6 mM and 769.23 U/ml, respectively. α-galactosidase from Klebsiella pneumoniae was purified and characterized. (SDS-PAGE) analysis showed that the purified enzyme appeared as single band with a molecular weight of 75 kDa.

Abstract
Raffinose family oligosaccharides (RFOs) in food are the main factors causing flatulence in Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) patients and the development of effective approaches for reducing food-derived RFOs is of paramount importance. In this study, polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)-chitosan (CS)-glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) immobilized α-galactosidase was prepared by the directional freezing-assisted salting-out technique, aimed to hydrolyze RFOs. SEM, FTIR, XPS, fluorescence and UV characterization results demonstrated that α-galactosidase was successfully cross-linked in the PVA-CS-GMA hydrogels, forming a distinct porous stable network through the covalent bond between the enzyme and the carrier. Mechanical performance and swelling capacity analysis illustrated that α-gal @ PVA-CS-GMA not only had suitable strength and toughness for longer durability, but also exhibited high water content and swelling capacity for better retention of catalytic activity. The enzymatic properties of α-gal @ PVA-CS-GMA showed an improved Km value, pH and temperature tolerance range, anti-enzymatic inhibitor (melibiose) activity compared to the free α-galactosidase and its reusability was at least 12 times with prolonged storage stability. Finally, it was successfully applied in the hydrolysis of RFOs in soybeans. These findings provide a new strategy for the development of α-galactosidase immobilization system to biological transform the RFOs components in the food for diet intervention of IBS.

[PMID: 36721204 PMCID: PMC9887927 DOI: 10.1186/s12896-023-00773-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/03/2022] [Accepted: 01/20/2023] [Indexed: 02/01/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Because humans lack α-galactosidase, foods containing certain oligosaccharides from the raffinose family, such as soybeans and other legumes, may disrupt digestion and cause flatulence. RESULTS Aspergillus niger NRC114 α-galactosidase was purified using protein precipitation, gel filtration, and ion exchange chromatography steps, which resulted in a 123-fold purification. The purified enzyme was found to be 64 kDa using the SDS-PAGE approach. The optimum pH and temperature of the purified α-galactosidase were detected at pH 3.5 and 60 ºC, respectively. The pure enzyme exhibited potent acidic pH stability at pH 3.0 and pH 4.0 for 2 h, and it retained its full activity at 50 ºC and 60 ºC for 120 min and 90 min, respectively. The enzyme was activated using 2.5 mM of K+, Mg2+, Co2+, or Zn2+ by 14%, 23%, 28%, and 11%, respectively. The Km and Vmax values of the purified enzyme were calculated to be 0.401 µM and 14.65 μmol min-1, respectively. The soymilk yogurt showed an increase in its total phenolic content and total flavonoids after enzyme treatment, as well as several volatile compounds that were detected and identified using GC-MS analysis. HPLC analysis clarified the enzymatic action in the hydrolysis of raffinose family oligosaccharides. CONCLUSION The findings of this study indicate the importance of A. niger NRC114 α-galactosidase enzyme for future studies, especially its applications in a variety of biological fields.

Abstract
Galactomannans, abundantly present in plant biomass, can be used as renewable fermentation feedstock for biorefineries working for the production of bioethanol and other value-added products. The complete and efficient bioconversion of biomass to fermentable sugars for the generation of biofuels and other value-added products require the concerted action of accessory enzymes like α-galactosidases, which can work in cohesion with other carbohydrases in an enzyme cocktail. In the paper industry, α-galactosidases enhance the bleaching effect of endo-β-1,4-mannanases on softwood kraft pulp. Microbial α-galactosidases also find applications in the treatment of legume foods, recovery of sucrose from sugar beet syrup, improving the rheological properties of galactomannans, and synthesis of α-galactooligosaccharides to be used as functional food ingredients. Owing to their industrial applications, there is a surge in the research focused on α-galactosidases. The current review illustrates the diverse industrial applications of microbial α-galactosidases and their challenges and prospects.

Abstract
α-Galactosidase has potential applications, and attempts to improve proteolytic resistance of enzymes have important values. We use a novel strategy for genetic manipulation of a pepsin-sensitive region specific for a pepsin-sensitive but trypsin-resistant high-temperature-active Gal27B from Neosartorya fischeri to screen mutants with enhanced pepsin resistance. All enzymes were produced in Pichia pastoris to identify the roles of loop 4 (Gal27B-A23) and its key residue at position 156 (Gly156Arg/Pro/His) in pepsin resistance. Gal27B-A23 and Gly156Arg/Pro/His elevated pepsin resistance, thermostability, stability at low pH, activity toward raffinose (5.3-6.9-fold) and stachyose (about 1.3-fold), and catalytic efficiencies (up to 4.9-fold). Replacing the pepsin cleavage site Glu155 with Gly improved pepsin resistance but had no effect on pepsin resistance when Arg/Pro/His was at position 156. Thus, pepsin resistance could appear to occur through steric hindrance between the residue at the altered site and neighboring pepsin active site. In the presence of pepsin or trypsin, all mutations increased the ability of Gal27B to hydrolyze galactosaccharides in soybean flour (up to 9.6- and 4.3-fold, respectively) and promoted apparent metabolizable energy and nutrient digestibility in soybean meal for broilers (1.3-1.8-fold). The high activity and tolerance to heat, low pH, and protease benefit food and feed industry in a cost-effective way.

Abstract
The α-galactosidase gene (galC) was cloned from Aspergillus oryzae YZ1 and expressed in Pichia pastoris. The galC (2319 bp) containing two introns encoded a protein of 726 amino acids. The activity of the α-galactosidase (GalC) increased 1-fold after coding sequence optimization. Purified GalC exhibited a single protein band (100 kDa) in SDS-PAGE. The optimum pH and temperature of GalC were pH 4.66 and 50 °C, respectively. Like many GH36 family α-galactosidases, GalC displayed its activities towards raffinose and stachyose. The Km values for pNPG, raffinose and stachyose were 2.16, 4.63 and 8.54 mM, respectively. The GalC retained about 90% activity within the pH range 3.0-8.0. The activity of GalC was inhibited by Cu2+, while Ca2+ increased the enzyme activity. Different concentrations of glucose, mannose, galactose, xylose and sucrose slightly affected the activity of GalC. The GalC displayed strong resistance to trypsin, α-chymotrypsin, and proteinase K. Under simulated gastric conditions, GalC maintained most of its native activity after pepsin treatment for 3 h. The GalC could also effectively degrade raffinose and stachyose in soymilk. The GalC with high hydrolysis efficiency towards raffinose family oligosaccharides (RFOs) and strong resistance to proteases is considered to have great potential in food and feed industries.

Abstract
An α-galactosidase designated as TAG was purified from the dried fruit bodies of Tremella aurantialba with 182.5-fold purification. The purification procedure involved ion exchange chromatography on Q-sepharose, DEAE-Cellulose, and Mono Q and gel filtration by FPLC on Superdex 75. The purified α-galactosidase was a monomeric protein with a molecular mass of 88 kDa. The optimal pH of TAG was 5.0 and more than 60% of the original enzyme activity remained at pH 2.0 and 3.0. Its optimal temperature was 54 °C with good thermo-stability, 30.8% of the original activity was retained after exposure to a temperature of 70 °C for 1 h. The metal ions Hg2+, Cu2+, Fe3+ and Mg2+ strongly inhibited the enzyme activity. The enzyme activity was found to be inhibited by N-bromosuccinimide indicating that tryptophan was essential to the catalytic activity of α-galactosidase. The enzyme completely hydrolysed stachyose and partially hydrolysed raffinose to galactose at 50 °C within 6 h as detected by thin layer chromatography and the dinitrosalicylic acid method and the content of reducing sugar reached 4.36 mg/mL.

Abstract
BACKGROUND α-Galactosidases are enzymes that act on galactosides present in many vegetables, mainly legumes and cereals, have growing importance with respect to our diet. For this reason, the use of their catalytic activity is of great interest in numerous biotechnological applications, especially those in the food industry directed to the degradation of oligosaccharides derived from raffinose. The aim of this work has been to optimize the recombinant production and further characterization of α-galactosidase of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. RESULTS The MEL1 gene coding for the α-galactosidase of S. cerevisiae (ScAGal) was cloned and expressed in the S. cerevisiae strain BJ3505. Different constructions were designed to obtain the degree of purification necessary for enzymatic characterization and to improve the productive process of the enzyme. ScAGal has greater specificity for the synthetic substrate p-nitrophenyl-α-D-galactopyranoside than for natural substrates, followed by the natural glycosides, melibiose, raffinose and stachyose; it only acts on locust bean gum after prior treatment with β-mannosidase. Furthermore, this enzyme strongly resists proteases, and shows remarkable activation in their presence. Hydrolysis of galactose bonds linked to terminal non-reducing mannose residues of synthetic galactomannan-oligosaccharides confirms that ScAGal belongs to the first group of α-galactosidases, according to substrate specificity. Optimization of culture conditions by the statistical model of Response Surface helped to improve the productivity by up to tenfold when the concentration of the carbon source and the aeration of the culture medium was increased, and up to 20 times to extend the cultivation time to 216 h. CONCLUSIONS ScAGal characteristics and improvement in productivity that have been achieved contribute in making ScAGal a good candidate for application in the elimination of raffinose family oligosaccharides found in many products of the food industry.

Abstract
This study compared two immobilization matrices like calcium-alginate and chitosan for immobilization of α-galactosidase and evaluated their potential for the removal of non-digestible raffinose family oligosaccharides from soy milk which cause abdominal discomfort. The pH optima of the free and immobilized enzymes were found to be similar at pH 4.0. The chitosan-immobilized α-galactosidase displayed higher optimal temperature (60°C) compared to alginate-immobilized enzyme (45°C) and free enzyme (50°C). The chitosan-immobilized and alginate-immobilized α-galactosidases displayed 93.7% and 97.6% hydrolysis of raffinose family oligosaccharides, respectively, while the free enzyme hydrolyzed only 30.3% oligosaccharides present in soy milk in 4 hr. Remarkably, both the immobilized enzymes showed complete removal of raffinose family oligosaccharides in 8 hr. Moreover, reusability studies indicate that even after five cycles of reuse, the chitosan and alginate-immobilized enzymes displayed 99% and 60% hydrolysis, respectively. PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS: In this study, we have used two inexpensive and non-toxic matrices for immobilizing α-galactosidase. We report that entrapment of α-galactosidase with chitosan significantly improved the optimal temperature of α-galactosidase, which is advantageous in food industry. The hydrolysis of raffinose family oligosaccharides in soy milk was also greatly enhanced after immobilization with chitosan and alginate. Thus, the results described in this study have relevance for development of safe, cost-effective and efficient method for removal of non-digestible soy oligosaccharides in food industry.
