Ahrari F, Yousefi M, Mohammadi M. The effect of carbon chain length of cross-linking agent on the functionality of carrier- free immobilized Thermomyces lanuginosa lipase particles. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 270:132076. [PMID: 38705324 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.132076] [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: 03/11/2024] [Revised: 04/23/2024] [Accepted: 05/02/2024] [Indexed: 05/07/2024]
Abstract
The cross-linked enzyme (CLEs) of Thermomyces lanuginosa lipase (TLL) was prepared in an isocyanide-based multi-component reactions (ICMRs) platform by applying three di-acidic cross-linkers to unveil more factors contributing to the functional properties of CLEs. The linkers were 1,11-undecanedicarboxylic acid, azelaic acid, and adipic acid with 11, 7, and 4 carbon lengths, respectively, providing a proper tool to investigate the effect of linker length on the activity, stability, and selectivity of the resulting CLEs. The immobilization yields of 60-90 % and the specific activities of 168, 88.4 and 49 U/mg were obtained for the CLEs of 1,11-undecanedicarboxylic acid, azelaic acid, adipic acid, respectively. The lower activity of azelaic and adipic acid-mediated CLEs compared to the soluble TLL (110 U/mg) was explained by in silico calculations. The results revealed that as opposed to 1,11-undecanedicarboxylic acid, both linkers tended to penetrate the enzyme active site, thus resulting in a major inhibitory effect on the enzyme functionality. The thermal and co-solvent stability of the immobilized derivatives improved compared to those of free TLL. The selectivity of CLEs was also examined by catalytic release of main omega-3 fatty acids from fish oil, presenting the highest selectivity of 22 for the CLEs of azelaic acid.

Abstract
Enzymes are commonly used as biocatalysts for various biological and chemical processes in industrial applications. However, their limited operational stability, catalytic efficiency, poor reusability, and high-cost hamper further industrial usage. Thus, crosslinked enzyme aggregates (CLEAs) are developed as a better enzyme immobilization tool to extend the enzymes' operational stability. This immobilization method is appealing because it is simpler due to the absence of ballast and permits the collective use of crude enzyme cocktails. CLEAs, so far, have been successfully developed using a variety of enzymes, viz., hydrolases, proteases, amidases, lipases, esterases, and oxidoreductase. Recent years have seen the emergence of novel strategies for preparing better CLEAs, which include the combi- and multi-CLEAs, magnetics CLEAs, and porous CLEAs for various industrial applications, viz., laundry detergents, organic synthesis, food industries, pharmaceutical applications, oils, and biodiesel production. To better understand the different strategies for CLEAs' development, this review explores these strategies and highlights the relevant concerns in designing innovative CLEAs. This article also details the challenges faced during CLEAs preparation and solutions for overcoming them. Finally, the trending strategies to improve the preparation of CLEAs alongside their industrial application trends are also discussed.

Abstract
Functional lipids, primarily derived through the modification of natural lipids by various processes, are widely acknowledged for their potential to impart health benefits. In contrast to chemical methods for lipid modification, enzymatic catalysis offers distinct advantages, including high selectivity, mild operating conditions, and reduced byproduct formation. Nevertheless, enzymes face challenges in industrial applications, such as low activity, stability, and undesired selectivity. To address these challenges, protein engineering techniques have been implemented to enhance enzyme performance in functional lipid synthesis. This article aims to review recent advances in protein engineering, encompassing approaches from directed evolution to rational design, with the goal of improving the properties of lipid-modifying enzymes. Furthermore, the article explores the future prospects and challenges associated with enzyme-catalyzed functional lipid synthesis.

Isocyanide-based multi-component reactions for carrier-free and carrier-bound covalent immobilization of enzymes. Nat Protoc 2023; 18:1641-1657. [PMID: 36859613 DOI: 10.1038/s41596-023-00812-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/28/2022] [Accepted: 01/12/2023] [Indexed: 03/03/2023]
Abstract
Strategies for the covalent immobilization of enzymes depend on the type of functional group selected to perform the coupling reaction, and on the relative importance of selectivity, loading capacity, immobilization time and activity/stability of the resulting immobilized preparation. However, no single strategy is applicable for all covalent immobilization methods or can meet all these criteria, exemplifying the challenge of introducing a versatile process broadly compatible with the residues on the surface of proteins and the functional groups of common linkers. Here, we describe the use of isocyanide-based multi-component reactions for the carrier-bound and carrier-free covalent immobilization of enzymes. Isocyanide-based multi-component reactions can accept a wide variety of functional groups such as epoxy, acid, amine and aldehyde, as well as many commercially available bi-functional linkers, and are therefore suitable for either covalent coupling of enzymes on a solid support or intermolecular cross-linking of enzymes. In this strategy, an isocyanide is directly added to the reaction medium, the enzyme supplies either the exposed amine or carboxylic acid groups, and the support (in carrier-bound immobilization) or the bi-functional cross-linking agent (in carrier-free immobilization) provides another reactive functional group. The protocol offers operational simplicity, high efficiency and a notable reduction in time over alternative strategies, and can be performed by users with expertise in chemistry or biology. The immobilization reactions typically require 1-24 h.

Tuning Immobilized Commercial Lipase Preparations Features by Simple Treatment with Metallic Phosphate Salts. Molecules 2022; 27:molecules27144486.

Abstract
Four commercial immobilized lipases biocatalysts have been submitted to modifications with different metal (zinc, cobalt or copper) phosphates to check the effects of this modification on enzyme features. The lipase preparations were Lipozyme®TL (TLL-IM) (lipase from Thermomyces lanuginose), Lipozyme®435 (L435) (lipase B from Candida antarctica), Lipozyme®RM (RML-IM), and LipuraSelect (LS-IM) (both from lipase from Rhizomucor miehei). The modifications greatly altered enzyme specificity, increasing the activity versus some substrates (e.g., TLL-IM modified with zinc phosphate in hydrolysis of triacetin) while decreasing the activity versus other substrates (the same preparation in activity versus R- or S- methyl mandelate). Enantiospecificity was also drastically altered after these modifications, e.g., LS-IM increased the activity versus the R isomer while decreasing the activity versus the S isomer when treated with copper phosphate. Regarding the enzyme stability, it was significantly improved using octyl-agarose-lipases. Using all these commercial biocatalysts, no significant positive effects were found; in fact, a decrease in enzyme stability was usually detected. The results point towards the possibility of a battery of biocatalysts, including many different metal phosphates and immobilization protocols, being a good opportunity to tune enzyme features, increasing the possibilities of having biocatalysts that may be suitable for a specific process.

A multi-component reaction for covalent immobilization of lipases on amine-functionalized magnetic nanoparticles: production of biodiesel from waste cooking oil. BIORESOUR BIOPROCESS 2022; 9:60. [PMID: 38647849 PMCID: PMC10991503 DOI: 10.1186/s40643-022-00552-0] [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: 03/03/2022] [Accepted: 05/20/2022] [Indexed: 11/10/2022] Open
Abstract
A new approach was used for the immobilization of Thermomyces lanuginosus lipase (TLL), Candida antarctica lipase B (CALB), and Rhizomucor miehei lipase (RML) on amine-functionalized magnetic nanoparticles (Fe3O4@SiO2-NH2) via a multi-component reaction route (using cyclohexyl isocyanide). The used method offered a single-step and very fast process for covalent attachment of the lipases under extremely mild reaction conditions (25 °C, water, and pH 7.0). Rapid and simple immobilization of 20 mg of RML, TLL, and CALB on 1 g of the support produced 100%, 98.5%, and 99.2% immobilization yields, respectively, after 2 h of incubation. The immobilized derivatives were then used for biodiesel production from waste cooking oil. Response surface methodology (RSM) in combination with central composite rotatable design (CCRD) was employed to evaluate and optimize the biodiesel production. The effect of some parameters such as catalyst amount, reaction temperature, methanol concentration, water content for TLL or water-adsorbent for RML and CALB, and ratio of t-butanol (wt%) were investigated on the fatty acid methyl esters (FAME) yield.
