Hakoda M, Kato T, Takahashi C, Shiono Y, Koseki T. Substrate specificity modification of paraben hydrolase and tannase from Aspergillus oryzae. Enzyme Microb Technol 2024; 180:110495. [PMID: 39121638 DOI: 10.1016/j.enzmictec.2024.110495] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/29/2024] [Revised: 07/31/2024] [Accepted: 08/05/2024] [Indexed: 08/12/2024]
Abstract
Paraben hydrolase and tannase catalyze the hydrolysis of parabens (4-hydroxybenzoic acid esters) and gallic acid (3,4,5-trihydroxybenzoic acid) esters, respectively. Paraben hydrolase (AoPrbA) and tannase (AoTanB) from Aspergillus oryzae belong to the tannase family in the ESTHER database. However, the substrate specificities of AoPrbA and AoTanB are narrow. Based on structural information of Aspergillus niger tannase (PDB code 7k4o), we constructed five single variants of AoPrbA (Thr200Glu, Phe231Gln, Leu232Gln, Ile361Tyr, and Leu428Ser) and four of AoTanB (Glu203Asp, Glu203Thr, His237Ala, and Ser440Leu) to investigate substrate discrimination between AoPrbA and AoTanB. Each variant was expressed in Pichia pastoris and were purified from the culture supernatant. Five purified variants of AoPrbA and four variants of AoTanB showed reduced paraben hydrolase and tannase activities compared with AoPrbA and AoTanB wild types, respectively. Interestingly, the AoPrbA wild type did not hydrolyze gallic acid methyl ester, whereas the Thr200Glu, Leu232Gln, and Leu428Ser variants did, indicating that these three variants acquired tannase activity. In particular, the Leu428Ser variant exhibited considerably greater hydrolysis of gallic acid and protocatechuic acid methyl esters. Meanwhile, the AoTanB wild type, and Glu203Asp, His237Ala and Ser440Leu variants hydrolyzed the protocatechuate methyl and 4-hydroxybenzoate ethyl esters; however, the Glu203Thr variant did not hydrolyze above-mentioned substrates. Additionally, the ratio of paraben hydrolase activity to tannase activity in Ser440Leu was markedly elevated.

Abstract
Agro-industrial discharges have higher concentrations of tannins and have been a significant cause of pollution to water bodies and soil surrounding the agro-industries. So in this study, toxic tannic acid is into commercially valuable gallic acid from the tannery effluent using immobilized microbial tannase. Tannase genes were isolated from Lactobacillus plantarum JCM 1149 (tanLpl) and Staphylococcus lugdunensis MTCC 3614 (tanA). Further, these isolated tannese genes were cloned and expressed in BL 21 host using pET 28a as an expression vector, and immobilized in sodium alginate beads. Vegetable tannery effluent was treated by tannase-immobilized beads at 25 °C and 37 °C, where liberated gallic acid was analyzed using TLC and NMR to confirm the tannin reduction. Further, both immobilized tannases exhibited excellent reusability up to 15 cycles of regeneration without significant reduction in their activity. Moreover, we also showed that immobilized tannases tanLpl and tanA activity remained unaffected compared to the free enzyme in the presence of metal ions. Further, tanA activity remained unaffected over a wide range of pH, and tanLpl showed high thermal stability. Thus, immobilized tannase tanLpl and tanA provide a possible solution for tannery effluent treatment depending upon industry requirements and reaction composition/effluent composition, one can choose a better-immobilized tannase among the two as per the need-based requirement.

Abstract
The development of green and sustainable biotechnological approaches for preventing chill haze formation is currently under investigation. In this preliminary study, laccase and tannase (pure or combined) were applied as phenolic-degrading enzymes during two crucial brewing steps (i. post-mashing and ii. before the yeast inoculum). In post-mashing and irrespective of the dosage applied (100 μL/L or 1 mL/L), tannase-based treatment ensured the complete removal of haze active (HA) phenols, which was proved by the full prevention of chill haze (about 1 EBC vs. 22 EBC in the control sample). Before yeast inoculum for the alcoholic fermentation, the removal of haze active phenols and the prevention of chill haze were both tannase-dosage-dependent (15 and 2 EBC for the lowest and the highest dosages, respectively) although they failed to completely break down the HA phenols. This biotechnological approach did not significantly affect the chromatic properties of treated beer.

Abstract
Purified recombinant rutinosidase from Aspergillus oryzae expressed in Pichia pastoris (rAoRutM) exhibits increase in thermal stability after treatment with endo-β-N-acetylglucosaminidase H (endo-H). In this study, the role of N-glycosylation in the activity and thermal stability of rAoRutM was analyzed via site-directed mutagenesis. Based on the crystal structure of AoRutM, five N-glycosylation sites (N32, N128, N176, N288, and N359) were identified in the AoRut protein. Among five single variants constructed for these sites, the N128D, N176D, and N359D variants exhibited similar mobility bands compared to that of the wild-type enzyme based on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, whereas the N32D and N288D variants exhibited slightly and considerably increasing mobility bands, respectively. The N128D and N288D variants showed increasing and decreasing rutinosidase activity, respectively, compared to the case for the wild-type, without and with endo-H treatments. While the N128D and N176D variants had lower Km values, the N288D and N359D variants had higher Km values, compared to the wild-type, without and with endo-H treatments. Surprisingly, the N32D and N176D variants exhibited considerably greater thermal stability than the wild-type, without or with the endo-H treatments, whereas the N128D and N359D variants exhibited drastically decreased thermal stability. Circular dichroism (CD) spectra of the N128D and N359D variants showed a similar CD profile to that of the wild-type treated with endo-H; however, the molar ellipticity values of the peaks at 208 nm and 212 nm in the above variants varied from those of the intact wild-type and other variants.

Abstract
Tannin acyl hydrolases or tannases (E.C.3.1.1.20) are enzymes that hydrolyze the ester bond of tannins to produce gallic acid and glucose. We engineered the Aspergillus niger GH1 tannase sequence and Pichia pastoris strains to produce and secrete the enzyme as a single-chain protein. The recombinant tannase was N-glycosylated, had a molecular mass after N-deglycosylation of 65.4 kDa, and showed activity over broad pH and temperature ranges, with optimum pH and temperature of 5.0 and 20 °C. Furthermore, the single-chain tannase had an 11-fold increased specific activity in comparison to the double-chain A. niger GH1 tannase, which was also produced in P. pastoris. Structural analysis suggested that the high specific activity may be due to the presence of a flexible loop in the lid domain, which can control and drive the substrate to the active site. In contrast, the low specific activity of the double-chain tannase may be due to the presence of a disordered and flexible loop that could hinder the substrate's access to the binding site. Based on its biochemical properties, high specific activity, and the possibility of its production in P. pastoris, the tannase described could be used in food and beverage processing at low and medium temperatures.

Abstract
The potential of urate oxidase (uricase) for clinical use has been highlighted because of its role in lowering the blood uric acid levels for the treatment of tumor lysis syndrome. In the present study, the codon-optimized synthetic gene of Aspergillus flavus uricase was fused to the Mxe GyrA intein and chitin-binding domain. The construct was inserted into pPICZA and pPICZαA vectors and electroporated into Pichia pastoris GS115 for the cytosolic and secretory expression. Transformants were screened on gradients of Zeocin up to 2000 μg/ml to find multi-copy integrants. For both constructs, colonies with more resistance were screened for the highest uricase producers by enzyme assay. PCR analysis confirmed successful cassettes insertion into the genome and Mut + phenotype. The gene copy index was determined to be two and five for cytosolic and secretory strains, respectively. Productivity of the cytosolic and secretory strains was found to be 0.74 and 0.001 U/ml culture media in order while the cytosolic recombinant enzyme accounted for about 6% of total proteins. One-step purification of the expressed uricase was done with the aid of the chitin affinity column, followed by DTT induction for intein on-column cleavage. The yield of 40.8 mg/L and K m of 0.22 mM was obtained for intracellular expression. It seems that the intracellular production of uricase can indeed serve as an effective alternative to secretory expression. Moreover, this is the first report considering cytosolic production of uricase using the intein-mediated protein purification in the methylotrophic yeast, P. pastoris.

Abstract
Tannases are serine esterases that were first discovered in fungi more than one and half centuries ago. They catalyze the hydrolysis of the gallolyl ester bonds in gallotannins to release gallic acid, which is an important intermediate in the chemical and pharmaceutical industries. Since their discovery, fungal tannases have found wide industrial applications, although there is scarce knowledge about these enzymes at the molecular level, including their catalytic and substrate-binding sites. While this lack of knowledge hinders engineering efforts to modify the enzymes, many tannases have been isolated from various fungal strains in a search for the desired enzymatic properties. Here, the first crystal structure of a fungal tannase, that from Aspergillus niger, is reported. The enzyme possesses a typical α/β-hydrolase-fold domain with a large inserted cap domain, which together form a bowl-shaped hemispherical shape with a surface concavity surrounded by N-linked glycans. Gallic acid is bound at the junction of the two domains within the concavity by forming two hydrogen-bonding networks with neighbouring residues. One is formed around the carboxyl group of the gallic acid and involves residues from the hydrolase-fold domain, including those from the catalytic triad, which consists of Ser206, His485 and Asp439. The other is formed around the three hydroxyl groups of the compound, with the involvement of residues mainly from the cap domain, including Gln238, Gln239, His242 and Ser441. Gallic acid is bound in a sandwich-like mode by forming a hydrophobic contact with Ile442. All of these residues are found to be highly conserved among fungal and yeast tannases.

Abstract
The rutinosidase (Rut)-encoding gene Aorut has been expressed in Pichia pastoris with its native signal sequence from Aspergillus oryzae Biochemical and structural investigation of the purified recombinant mature A. oryzae Rut (AoRut), designated rAoRutM, was performed in this study. A 1.7-Å resolution crystal structure of rAoRutM was determined, which is an essential step forward in the utilization of AoRut as a potential catalyst. The crystal structure of rAoRutM was represented by a (β/α)8 TIM barrel fold with structural similarity to that of rutinosidase from Aspergillus niger (AnRut) and an exo-β-(1,3)-glucanase from Candida albicans The crystal structure revealed that the catalytic site was located in a deep cleft, similarly to AnRut, and that internal cavities and water molecules were also present. Purified rAoRutM hydrolyzed not only 7-O-linked and 3-O-linked flavonoid rutinosides but also 7-O-linked and 3-O-linked flavonoid glucosides. rAoRutM displayed high catalytic activity toward quercetin 3-O-linked substrates such as rutin and isoquercitrin, rather than to the 7-O-linked substrate, quercetin-7-O-glucoside. Unexpectedly, purified rAoRutM exhibited increased thermostability after treatment with endo-β-N-acetylglucosaminidase H. Circular dichroism (CD) spectra of purified intact rAoRutM and of the enzyme after N-deglycosylation showed a typical α-helical CD profile; however, the molar ellipticity values of the peaks at 208 nm and 212 nm differed. The Km and k cat values for the substrates modified by rutinose were higher than those for the substrates modified by β-d-glucose.IMPORTANCE Flavonoid glycosides constitute a class of secondary metabolites widely distributed in nature. These compounds are involved in bitter taste or clouding in plant-based foods or beverages, respectively. Flavonoid glycoside degradation can proceed through two alternative enzymatic pathways: one that is mediated by monoglycosidases and another that is catalyzed by a diglycosidase. The present report on the biochemical and structural investigation of A. oryzae rutinosidase provides a potential biocatalyst for industrial applications of flavonoids.

Abstract
Tannase is widely used in tea beverage processing because of its ability to catalyze the hydrolysis of hydrolysable tannins or gallic acid esters and effectively improve the quality of tea extracts through enzymatic extraction. A new thermophilic tannase was cloned from Aspergillus niger FJ0118 and characterized. The tannase exhibited an optimal reaction temperature of 80 °C and retained 89.6% of the initial activity after incubation at 60 °C for 2 h. The enzymatic extraction of green tea at high temperature (70 °C) for a short time (40 min) was devised on the basis of the superior thermal stability of tannase. The enzymatic reaction significantly increased the total polyphenol content of green tea extract from 137 g·kg−1 to 291 g·kg−1. The enzymatic reaction effectively degraded the ester catechins into non-ester catechins compared with the water extraction method. Results suggested that the thermally stable tannase exhibited potential applications in the enzymatic extraction of green tea beverage.

Abstract
A tannase-encoding gene, AotanB, from Aspergillus oryzae RIB40 was overexpressed in A. oryzae AOK11 niaD-deficient mutant derived from an industrial strain under the control of an improved glucoamylase gene promoter PglaA142. The recombinant tannase, designated as rAoTanBO, was produced efficiently as an active extracellular enzyme. Purified rAoTanBO showed a smeared band with a molecular mass of approximately 80-100 kDa on sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The rAoTanBO had a molecular mass of 65 kDa, after treatment with endo-β-N-acetylglucosaminidase H. Purified rAoTanBO exhibited maximum activity at 30-35°C and pH 6.0. The tannase activity of purified rAoTanBO towards natural and artificial substrates was 2-8 folds higher than that of the recombinant enzyme produced by Pichia pastoris, designated as rAoTanBP. N-terminus of the mature rAoTanBP had six more amino acids than the N-terminus of the mature rAoTanBO. Kinetic analyses showed that rAoTanBO had higher catalytic efficiency (kcat/Km) than rAoTanBP. rAoTanBO was stable up to 60°C and higher thermostability than rAoTanBP. N-linked oligosaccharides had no effect on the activity and stability of rAoTanBO and rAoTanBP.

Abstract
Heterologous protein production is widely used in industrial biotechnology. However, using non-native production hosts can lead to enzymes with altered post-translational modifications, such as glycosylation. We have investigated how production in a non-native host affects the physicochemical properties and enzymatic activity of a feruloyl esterase from Myceliophthora thermophila, MtFae1a. The enzyme was produced in two microorganisms that introduce glycosylation (M. thermophila and Pichia pastoris) and in Escherichia coli (non-glycosylated). Mass spectrometric analysis confirmed the presence of glycosylation and revealed differences in the lengths of glycan chains between the enzymes produced in M. thermophila and P. pastoris. The melting temperature and the optimal temperature for activity of the non-glycosylated enzyme were considerably lower than those of the glycosylated enzymes. The three MtFae1a versions also exhibited differences in specific activity and specificity. The catalytic efficiency of the glycosylated enzymes were more than 10 times higher than that of the non-glycosylated one. In biotechnology, immobilization is often used to allow reusing enzyme and was investigated on mesoporous silica particles. We found the binding kinetics and immobilization yield differed between the enzyme versions. The largest differences were observed when comparing enzymes with and without glycosylation, but significant variations were also observed between the two differently glycosylated enzymes. We conclude that the biotechnological value of an enzyme can be optimized for a specific application by carefully selecting the production host.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The xerophilic Aspergillus molds, Aspergillus glaucus and Aspergillus repens, have been used in the ripening and fermentation of dried tuna bonito (katsuobushi). These molds, and especially their extracellular hydrolytic enzymes, may also be of wider industrial value. RESULTS Aspergillus glaucus strain MA0196 produces different types of hydrolytic enzymes, including amylase, serine protease, aspartic protease, lipase and cellulase, depending on the composition of the medium. We characterized several of these enzymes, focusing on a glycosylated aspartic protease. The results showed that the lower the d-glucose concentration in the medium, the higher the degree of protease glycosylation, with excess glycosylation tending to decrease protease activity. The molecular mass of the glycosylated protease as determined by gel filtration and sodium dodecyl sulphate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis was 243 and 253 kDa, respectively. The chemically deglycosylated protease had a molecular mass of only 46 kDa. The amount of myoglobin-decolorizing activity was similar to that of a previously reported aspartic protease from A. repens strain MK82. However, the strain MA0196 protease more broadly hydrolyzed myoglobin and hemoglobins than did the strain MK82 protease. CONCLUSION The results of the present study demonstrate the potential utility of Aspergillus molds as a functionally new microbial resource for industrial applications such as the bleaching of heme proteins. © 2018 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
One of the tannase isoforms produced by the fungus Aspergillus fumigatus CAS-21 under submerged fermentation (SbmF) was purified 4.9-fold with a 10.2% recovery. The glycoprotein (39.1% carbohydrate content) showed an estimated molecular mass of 60 kDa. Optimum temperature and pH for its activity were 30-40 °C and 5.0, respectively. It showed a half-life (t50) of 60 min at 45 and 50 °C, and it was stable at pH 5.0 and 6.0 for 3 h. The tannase activity was insensitive to most salts used, but it reduced in the presence of Fe2(SO4)3 and FeCl3. On contrary, in presence of SDS, Triton-X100, and urea the enzyme activity increased. The Km value indicated high affinity for propyl gallate (3.61 mmol L-1) when compared with tannic acid (6.38 mmol L-1) and methyl gallate (6.28 mmol L-1), but the best Kcat (362.24 s-1) and Kcat/Km (56.78 s-1 mmol-1 L) were obtained for tannic acid. The purified tannase reduced 89 and 25% of tannin content of the leather tannery effluent generated by manual and mechanical processing, respectively, after 2-h treatment. The total phenolic content was also reduced. Additionally, the enzyme produced propyl gallate, indicating its ability to do the transesterification reaction. Thus, A. fumigatus CAS-21 tannase presents interesting properties, especially the ability to degrade tannery effluent, highlighting its potential in biotechnological applications.

Abstract
Tannase is considered one of the most important industrial enzymes that find great applications in various sectors. Production of tannases through solid state fermentation (SSF) using agro-industrial wastes is an eco-friendly and cheap technology. Tannase was produced by the yeast Kluyveromyces marxianus using olive pomace as a solid support under SSF. It was purified using ammonium sulfate fractional precipitation followed by Sephadex G-200 gel filtration resulting in 64.6% enzyme yield with 1026.12U/mg specific activity and 24.21 purification fold. Pure tannase had molecular weight of 65 KDa and 66.62 KDa by SDS-PAGE and gel filtration, respectively. It showed a maximal activity at 35°C having two different pH optima, one of which is acidic (4.5) and the other one is alkaline (8.5). The enzyme was stable in the acidic range of pH (4.0-5.5) for 30min, and thermostable within the temperature range 30-70°C. Using tannic acid, the enzyme had a Km value of 0.77mM and Vmax of 263.20μmolemin-1ml-1. The effect of different metal ions on enzymatic activity was evaluated. HPLC analysis data indicated that the purified enzyme could carry out 24.65% tannic acid conversion with 5.25 folds increase in gallic acid concentration within 30min only.

Abstract
An α-l-rhamnosidase-encoding gene from Aspergillus oryzae, which belongs to the glycoside hydrolase family 78, was cloned and expressed in Pichia pastoris. SDS-PAGE of the purified recombinant α-l-rhamnosidase protein revealed smeared bands with apparent molecular mass of 90-130 kDa. After N-deglycosylation, the recombinant enzyme showed a molecular mass of 70 kDa. The enzyme exhibited optimal activity at a pH of 5.0 and a temperature of 70 °C. Specific activity of the enzyme was higher toward hesperidin than toward naringin, which consist of α-1,6 and α-1,2 linkages, respectively. The activity was also higher toward hesperidin than toward rutin, which consist of 7-O- and 3-O-glycosyl linkages of flavonoids, respectively. Kinetic analysis of the enzyme showed that the Michaelis constant (Km) was lowest toward rutin, moderate toward naringin, and higher toward p-nitrophenyl-α-l-rhamnopyranoside and hesperidin. Its high catalytic efficiency (kcat/Km) toward rutin was results of its low Km value while its high catalytic efficiency toward hesperidin was results of a considerably high kcat value.

Abstract
Aspergillus oryzae tannase (AoTanA), which contains two Kex2 recognition sites at positions Arg311 and Arg316, consists of two subunits that are generated by the cleavage of tannase gene product by the Kex2 protease. Based on the crystal structure of feruloyl esterase from Aspergillus oryzae (AoFaeB), which has been classified as a member of the fungal tannase family, the catalytic triad residues of AoTanA are predicted to be Ser195, Asp455, and His501, with the serine and histidine residues brought together by a disulfide bond of the neighboring cysteines, Cys194 and Cys502. In this study, we investigated the functional role of the Kex2 recognition sites and disulfide bond between the neighboring cysteines in AoTanA. We constructed a double variant (R311A/R316A), a seven amino-acid deletion variant of region Lys310-Arg316 (ΔKR), and two single variants (C194A and C502A). While the R311A/R316A variant exhibited the two bands similar to wild type by SDS-PAGE after treatment with endoglycosidase H, the ΔKR variant exhibited only one band. R311A/R316A variation had no effect on tannase activity and stability. Meanwhile, the ΔKR variant exhibited higher activity compared to the wild-type. The activities of the C194A and C502A variants decreased considerably (<0.24% of the wild-type) toward methyl gallate.

Abstract
Enzymes find their applications in various industries, due to their error free conversion of substrate into product. Tannase is an enzyme used by various industries for degradation of tannin. Biochemical characterization of a specific enzyme from one organism to other is one of the ways to search for enzymes with better traits for industrial applications. Here, tannase encoding gene from Staphylococcus lugdunensis was cloned and suitability of the enzyme in various conditions was analysed to find its application in various industry. The recombinant protein was expressed with 6× His tag and purified using nickel affinity beads. The enzyme was purified up to homogeneity, with approximate molecular weight of 66 kDa. Purified tannase exhibited specific activity of about 716 U/mg. Optimum enzyme activity was found to be 40 °C at pH 7.0. Biochemical characterization revealed; metal ions such as Zn2+, Fe2+, Fe3+ and Mn2+ inhibited tannase activity, and SDS at lower concentration, increased tannase activity. Non polar organic solvents increased the tannase activity and polar solvents inhibited the tannase activity. Tannase immobilization studies show protection of the enzyme under wide range of pH and temperature. Also in this study we report a method for recovery and repeated use of the tannase.

Abstract
Tannin acyl hydrolases, or tannases (EC 3.1.1.20), are enzymes with potential biotechnological applications. In this work, we describe the gene and amino acid sequences of the tannase from Aspergillus niger GH1. In addition, we engineered Pichia pastoris strains to produce and secrete the enzyme, and the produced tannase was characterized biochemically. The nucleotide sequence of mature tannase had a length of 1,686 bp, and encodes a protein of 562 amino acids. A molecular model of mature A. niger GH1 tannase showed the presence of two structural domains, one with an α/β-hydrolase fold and one lid domain that covers the catalytic site, likely being residues Ser-196, Asp-448, and His-494 the putative catalytic triad, which are connected by a disulfide bond between the neighboring cysteines, Cys-195 and Cys-495. A 120-ml shake flask culture with a constructed recombinant P. pastoris strain showed extracellular tannase activity at 48 h induction of 0.57 U/ml. The produced tannase was N-glycosylated, consisted of two subunits, likely linked by a disulfide bond, and had an optimum pH of 5.0 and optimum temperature of 20 °C. These biochemical properties differed from those of native A. niger GH1 tannase. The recombinant tannase could be suitable for food and beverage applications.

Abstract
Background Transglutaminases (TGase), synthesized as a zymogen (pro-TGase) in Streptomyces sp., are important enzymes in food industry. Due to the important applications of TGase in food industry, obtaining robust and food-safe TGase-producing strains has attracted much attention during the past decade. In this study, Streptomyces hygroscopicus pro-TGase was efficiently expressed and secreted by a food-grade host, Yarrowia lipolytica, without antibiotic markers. Results The pro-TGase gene was cloned into integrative vectors pINA1296 (monocopy) and pINA1297 (multicopy), and was used to transform the Y. lipolytica Po1g or Po1h strain, respectively. Expression was driven by a recombinant hp4d promoter and secretion obtained using a XPR2 pre-sequence as a signal peptide. The highest yield of extracellular pro-TGase produced by the recombinant Po1h strain corresponded to 5.3 U/mL of TGase, a level 8.8 fold higher than that obtained using the recombinant Po1g strain. Asparagines in two potential Asn-linked glycosylation sites (Asn160 and Asn355) from pro-TGase were mutated to glutamine individually or simultaneously, yielding the deglycosylated variants N160Q, N355Q, and N160Q/N355Q. The activities of N160Q, N355Q and N160Q/N355Q constructs were respectively 5.3 U/mL, 7.8 U/mL, and 3.0 U/mL, equivalent to 100 %, 147 %, and 57 % of that from wild-type pro-TGase. The TGase yield of N355Q variant was raised to 35.3 U/mL of by using a glycerol feeding strategy in a 3 L fermenter. The optimal pH and temperature of the activated pro-TGase, and of its deglycosylated variants, were in the range of 5.0-6.0 pH and 40-45 °C, respectively. The half-life of the recombinant wild-type pro-TGase at 37 °C reached 34.0 min, and those of the variants were from 24.2 min to 11.5 min. In contrast to the wild-type pro-TGase, all of the variants had decreased specific activities, and both the Km and kcat values of the variants decreased accordingly. Conclusions This study constitutes the first report of the heterologous expression of a pro-TGase in Y. lipolytica, and provides new possibilities for the efficient production of TGases used in food processing.
