Abstract
The effect of the starch chain structure on 4,3-α-glucanotransferase's (4,3-α-GTase) catalytic properties was investigated to modulate the digestibility of starch. Three starches with diverse amylose contents were used, and the enzymatic kinetic reaction of 4,3-α-GTase was fitted using the Michaelis-Menten equation. The results revealed that the linear substrate was more suitable for modification by 4,3-α-GTase. Linear starch chains were then selected with various degrees of polymerization (DP) as substrates of 4,3-α-GTase modification. Additionally, the structures and in vitro digestion of 4,3-α-GTase derived α-glucans were studied. The results showed that enzyme catalysis increased the amount of α-1,3 glycosidic linkages in products (highest 33.5%), the digestibility of 4,3-α-GTase derived α-glucans conformed to a first-order two-phase equation, and the equilibrium digestibility was controlled between 43.2-72.1%. It was observed that the structure of α-glucans could be managed to attain low digestibilities (43.2%) by selecting maltodextrin with DE 2 as the substrate. These findings offer valuable insights into the fabrication of α-glucans and their potential applications in various fields.

Abstract
Starch is an important energy source for humans. Starch escaping digestion in the small intestine will transit to the colon to be fermented by gut microbes. Many gut microbes express α-amylases that can degrade soluble starch, but only a few are able to degrade intrinsic resistant starch (RS), which is insoluble and highly resistant to digestion (≥80% RS). We studied the in vitro fermentability of eight retrograded starches (RS-3 preparations) differing in rapidly digestible starch content (≥70%, 35-50%, ≤15%) by a pooled adult faecal inoculum and found that fermentability depends on the digestible starch fraction. Digestible starch was readily fermented yielding acetate and lactate, whereas resistant starch was fermented much slower generating acetate and butyrate. Primarily Bifidobacterium increased in relative abundance upon digestible starch fermentation, whereas resistant starch fermentation also increased relative abundance of Ruminococcus and Lachnospiraceae. The presence of small fractions of total digestible starch (±25%) within RS-3 preparations influenced the fermentation rate and microbiota composition, after which the resistant starch fraction was hardly fermented. By short-chain fatty acid quantification, we observed that six individual faecal inocula obtained from infants and adults were able to ferment digestible starch, whereas only one adult faecal inoculum was fermenting intrinsic RS-3. This suggests that, in contrast to digestible starch, intrinsic RS-3 is only fermentable when specific microbes are present. Our data illustrates that awareness is required for the presence of digestible starch during in vitro fermentation of resistant starch, since such digestible fraction might influence and overrule the evalution of the prebiotic potential of resistant starches.

Cost-effective and controllable synthesis of isomalto/malto-polysaccharides from β-cyclodextrin by combined action of cyclodextrinase and 4,6-α-glucanotransferase GtfB. Carbohydr Polym 2023; 310:120716.

Abstract
Isomalto/malto-polysaccharides (IMMPs) derived from malto-oligosaccharides such as maltoheptaose (G7) are elongated non-branched gluco-oligosaccharides produced by 4,6-α-glucanotransferase (GtfB). However, G7 is expensive and cumbersome to produce commercially. In this study, a cost-effective enzymatic process for IMMPs synthesis is developed that utilizes the combined action of cyclodextrinase from Palaeococcus pacificus (PpCD) and GtfB-ΔN from Limosilactobacillus reuteri 121 to convert β-cyclodextrin into IMMPs with a maximum yield (16.19 %, w/w). The purified IMMPs synthesized by simultaneous or sequential treatments, designated as IMMP-Sim and IMMP-Seq, possess relatively high contents of α-(1 → 6) glucosidic linkages. By controlling the release of G7 and smaller malto-oligosaccharides by PpCD, IMMP-Seq was obtained of DP varying from 12.9 to 29.5. Enzymatic fingerprinting revealed different linkage-type distribution of α-(1 → 6) linked segments with α-(1 → 4) segments embedded at the reducing end and middle part. The proportion of α-(1 → 6) segments containing the non-reducing end was 56.76 % for IMMP-Sim but 28.98 % for IMMP-Seq. Addition of G3 or G4 as specific acceptors resulted in IMMPs exhibiting low polydispersity. This procedure can be applied as a novel bioprocess that does not require costy high-purity malto-oligosaccharides and with control of the average DP of IMMPs by adjusting the substrate composition.

Abstract
The recent reports have revealed that increase in amount of α-1,6 linkages by modification of potato starch with enzyme (glycosyltransferases) treatment gains slowly digestible properties to the starch; however, the formation of new α-1,6-glycosidic linkages diminish the thermal resistance of the starch granules. In this study, a putative GtfB-E81, (a 4,6-α-glucanotransferase-4,6-αGT) from L. reuteri E81 was firstly used to produce a short length of α-1,6 linkages. NMR results revealed that external short chains mostly comprised of 1-6 glucosyl units were newly produced in potato starch, and the α-1,6 linkage ratio was significantly increased from 2.9 % to 36.8 %, suggesting that this novel GtfB-E81 might have potentially an efficient transferase activity. In our study, native and GtfB-E81 modified starches showed fundamental similarities with respect to their molecular properties and treatment of native potato starch with GtfB-E81 did not remarkably change thermal stability of the potato starch, which seems to be very prominent for the food industry given the significantly decreased thermal stability results obtained for the enzyme modified starches reported in the literature. Therefore, the results of this study should open up emerging perspectives for regulating slowly digestible characteristics of potato starch in future studies without a significant change in the molecular, thermal, and crystallographic properties.

Abstract
Limosilactobacillus reuteri 121 4,6-α-glucanotransferase (GtfBΔN) modifies starch by cleaving (α1 → 4) linkages and introducing non-branched (α1 → 6) linkages to produce functional starch derivatives. Research has mainly focused on GtfBΔN converting amylose (linear substrate), whereas the conversion of amylopectin (branched substrate) has not been studied in detail. In this study, we used GtfBΔN to understand amylopectin modification and performed a set of experiments to analyze this modification pattern. The donor substrates were segments from the non-reducing ends to the nearest branch point in amylopectin as shown from the results of the chain length distribution of GtfBΔN-modified starches. Decreased and increased contents of β-limit dextrin and reducing sugars, respectively, during the incubation of β-limit dextrin with GtfBΔN indicated that the segments from the reducing end to the nearest branch point in amylopectin act as donor substrates. Dextranase was involved in the hydrolysis of the GtfBΔN conversion products of three different substrates groups, maltohexaose (G6), amylopectin, and G6 plus amylopectin. No reducing sugars were detected, therefore, amylopectin was not used as an acceptor substrate, and no non-branched (α1 → 6) linkages were introduced into it. Thus, these methods provide a reasonable and effective approach to studying GtfB-like 4,6-α-glucanotransferase in analyzing the roles and contribution of branched substrates.

Abstract
4,6-α-glucanotransferase (4,6-α-GT), as a member of the glycoside hydrolase 70 (GH70) family, converts starch/maltooligosaccharides into α,1-6 bond-containing α-glucan and possesses potential applications in food, medical and related industries but does not satisfy the high-temperature requirement due to its poor thermostability. In this study, a 4,6-α-GT (ΔGtfB) from Limosilactobacillus fermentum NCC 3057 was used as a model enzyme to improve its thermostability. The loops of ΔGtfB as the target region were optimized using directed evolution, sequence alignment, and computer-aided design. A total of 11 positive mutants were obtained and iteratively combined to obtain a combined mutant CM9, with high resistance to temperature (50 °C). The activity of mutant CM9 was 2.08-fold the activity of the wild type, accompanied by a 5 °C higher optimal temperature, a 5.76 °C higher melting point (Tm, 59.46 °C), and an 11.95-fold longer half-life time (t1/2). The results showed that most of the polar residues in the loop region of ΔGtfB are mutated into rigid proline residues. Molecular dynamics simulation demonstrated that the root mean square fluctuation of CM9 significantly decreased by "Breathing" movement reduction of the loop region. This study provides a new strategy for improving the thermostability of 4,6-α-GT through rational loop region modification.

Abstract
4,6 α-Glucanotransferase (4,6-α-GTase) and 4,3 α-glucanotransferases (4,3-α-GTase) produced by Lactic Acid Bacteria (LAB) in the GH70 enzyme family have become important due to their catalytic effect on starch and maltodextrins. Their high level of production is necessary for their application at industrial scale. In this respect, both enzymes were expressed extracellularly using Lactococcus lactis as GRAS host. 4,6-α-GTase and 4,3-α-GTase genes from Limosilactobacillus reuteri E81 and Limosilactobacillus fermentum PFC282 respectively were transformed into the plasmid pLEB124 vector having the signal peptide usp45 under the P45 continuous promoter and successfully expressed in Lactococcus lactis MG1363. Western blot screening showed that the relevant enzymes were able to be successfully secreted extracellularly. The Vmax and Km of 4,6-α-GTase were 2.58 µmol min-1 and 0054 mg min-1 whereas 3369 µmol min-1 and 0032 mg min-1 for 4,3-α-GTase respectively. NMR analysis demonstrated the formation of new bonds within the corresponding enzymes. Also, both enzymes were active on maltose, maltoheptaose, maltohexaose and starch and produced malto-oligosaccarides observed by TLC analysis. In conclusion, this study demonstrated first time the extracellular production of 4,6-α-GTase and 4,3-α-GTase with GRAS status that can be useful for starch retrogradation delay and glycaemic index reduction.

Abstract
We attempted to develop an efficient method for producing isomaltose, a disaccharide consisting of an α-(1→6)-linkage, from starch by combining enzymes of known activity. We found that the combination of 1,4-α-glucan 6-α-glucosyltransferase from Bacillus globisporus N75 and isopullulanase from Aspergillus brasiliensis ATCC 9642 led to the efficient synthesis of isomaltose. Inclusion of isoamylase and cyclomaltodextrin glucanotransferase resulted in increased efficiency, with production yields exceeding 70%. Furthermore, we considered that isomaltooligosaccharides could be synthesized from starch by combining 1,4-α-glucan 6-α-glucosyltransferase from Paenibacillus sp. PP710 and isopullulanase. In reactions that additionally utilized isoamylase and α-amylase, the total concentration of product, which included a series of isomaltooligosaccharides from isomaltose to isomaltodecaose, was 131 m m, and the ratio of 6-linked glucopyranosyl bonds to all bonds was 91.7% at a substrate concentration of 10%. The development of these manufacturing methods will accelerate the industrial production of isomaltose and isomaltooligosaccharides.
