Abstract
Pectins are complex polysaccharides that are widely found in plant cells and have a variety of bioactivities. However, the high molecular weights (Mw) and complex structures of natural pectins mean that they are difficult for organisms to absorb and utilize, limiting their beneficial effects. The modification of pectins is considered to be an effective method for improving the structural characteristics and promoting the bioactivities of pectins, and even adding new bioactivities to natural pectins. This article reviews the modification methods, including chemical, physical, and enzymatic methods, for natural pectins from the perspective of their basic information, influencing factors, and product identification. Furthermore, the changes caused by modifications to the bioactivities of pectins are elucidated, including their anti-coagulant, anti-oxidant, anti-tumor, immunomodulatory, anti-inflammatory, hypoglycemic, and anti-bacterial activities and the ability to regulate the intestinal environment. Finally, suggestions and perspectives regarding the development of pectin modification are provided.

Structural model and functional properties of an exo-polygalacturonase from Neosartorya glabra. Int J Biol Macromol 2021; 186:909-918. [PMID: 34274400 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2021.07.065] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/18/2021] [Revised: 04/28/2021] [Accepted: 07/10/2021] [Indexed: 11/28/2022]
Abstract
A purified exo-polygalacturonase of Neosartorya glabra (EplNg) was successfully characterized. EplNg native presented 68.2 kDa, with 32% carbohydrate content. The deglycosylated form showed 46.3 kDa and isoelectric point of 5.4. The identity of EplNg was confirmed as an exo-polygalacturonase class I (EC 3.2.1.67) using mass spectrometry and Western-Blotting. Capillary electrophoresis indicated that only galacturonic acid was released by the action of EplNg on sodium polypectate, confirming an exoenzyme character. The structural model confers that EplNg has a core formed by twisted parallel β-sheets structure. Among twelve putative cysteines, ten were predicted to form disulfide bridges. The catalytic triad predicted is composed of Asp223, Asp245, and Asp246 aligned along with a distance in 4-5 Å, suggesting that EplNg probably does not perform the standard inverting catalytic mechanism described for the GH28 family. EplNg was active from 30 to 90 °C, with maximum activity at 65 °C, pH 5.0. The Km and Vmax determined using sodium polypectate were 6.9 mg·mL-1 and Vmax 690 μmol·min-1.mg-1, respectively. EplNg was active and stable over a wide range of pH values and temperatures, confirming the interesting properties EplNg and provide a basis for the development of the enzyme in different biotechnological processes.
