Abstract
The widespread adoption of fast fashion has led to a significant waste problem associated with discarded textiles. Using proteins to color textiles can serve as a sustainable alternative to chemical dyes as well as reduce the demand for new raw materials. Here, we explore the use of chromogenic fusion proteins, consisting of a chromoprotein and a carbohydrate-binding module (CBM), as coloring agents for cellulose-based textiles such as cotton. We examined the color properties of chromoproteins AeBlue, SpisPink and Ultramarine alone and fused to CBM under various conditions. AeBlue, SpisPink and Ultramarine exhibited visible color between pH 4-9 and temperatures ranging from 4 to 45℃. Fusing CBM Clos from Clostridium thermocellum and CBM Ch2 from Trichoderma reesei to the chromoproteins had no effect on the chromoprotein color properties. Furthermore, binding assays showed that chromoprotein fusions did not affect binding of CBMs to cellulosic materials. Cotton samples bound with Ultramarine-Clos exhibited visible purple color that faded progressively over time as the samples dried. Applying 10% 8000 polyethylene glycol to cotton samples markedly preserved the color over extended periods. Overall, this work highlights the potential of chromoprotein-CBM fusions for textile dying which could be applied as a color maintenance technology or for reversible coloring of textiles for events or work wear, contributing to sustainable practices and introducing new creative opportunities for the industry.

Abstract
Filter paper provides an excellent matrix for retention of proteins containing a cellulose binding domain. To use this capability for manipulating recombinant fusion proteins, binding and elution parameters were explored and procedures developed for small scale purification, modification and assay. Proteins were tagged with the cellulose binding domain from the Clostridium thermocellum CipB gene via a cleavable linker. Filter paper disks of 6 mm diameter were able to bind up to 80 μg protein although there was a substantial dependence on molecular size. Different means of introducing fusion proteins to the disks allow either binding within 20 min from microliter volumes or slower binding from milliliter volumes. Elution with protease in small volumes yielded greater than 10 μg amounts with concentrations in the 1-2 mg/ml range. To demonstrate their utility, disks were used for small scale protein purification, covalent modification of protein, immunoprecipitation, and in a binding assay. These versatile methods allow parallel processing of multiple samples and may find many uses when only small amounts of protein are needed.

Abstract
Mature lysostaphin (mLst) is a glycineglycine endopeptidase, capable of specifically cleaving penta-glycine crosslinker in the peptidoglycan of Staphylococcus aureus cell wall. It is a very effective therapeutic enzyme to kill the multidrug-resistant S. aureus often encountered in hospital acquired infections. Fusing cellulose binding domain (CBD) to mLst significantly reduced the insoluble expression of mLst in E. coli. Employing mLst-cleavable peptides as fusion linkers leaded to an effective self-cleavage expression that CBD and mLst could be completely cleaved off from the fusions during the expression process. The presence of residue linker fragment at N-terminus of the cleaved-off mLst strongly inhibited the cell lytic activity of the recovered recombinant mLst, and only ~ 50% of the wild-type mLst activity could be retained. Intact CBD-Lst fusions were obtained when uncleavable peptide linkers were employed. With CBD at N-terminus of mLst, the intact fusion completely lost its cell lytic activity but the dipeptidase activity still remained. In contrast, approximately 10% cell lytic activity of mLst still could be maintained for the fusion with CBD at C-terminus of mLst. KEY POINTS: • CBD fusion enhanced soluble expression of recombinant lysostaphin. • In vivo self-cleavage of fusion linkers by the expressed lysostaphin fusions. • Self-cleaved lysostaphin fusions retain most of dipeptidase but lose 50% cell lytic activity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The feasibility of biochemical transformation processes is usually greatly dependent on biocatalysts cost. Therefore, immobilizing and reusing biocatalysts is an approach to be considered to bring biotransformations closer to industrial feasibility, since it does not only allow to reuse enzymes but can also improve their stability towards several reaction conditions. Carbohydrate-Binding Modules (CBM) are well-described domains involved in substrate binding which have been already used as purification tags. RESULTS In this work, two different Carbohydrate-Binding Modules (CBM3 and CBM9) have been successfully fused to an alcohol dehydrogenase from Saccharomyces cerevisiae, which has been produced in bench-scale reactor using an auxotrophic M15-derived E. coli strain, following a fed-batch strategy with antibiotic-free medium. Around 40 mg·g- 1 DCW of both fusion proteins were produced, with a specific activity of > 65 AU·mg- 1. Overexpressed proteins were bound to a low-cost and highly selective cellulosic support by one-step immobilization/purification process at > 98% yield, retaining about a 90% of initial activity. Finally, the same support was also used for protein purification, aiming to establish an alternative to metal affinity chromatography, by which CBM9 tag proved to be useful, with a recovery yield of > 97% and 5-fold increased purity grade. CONCLUSION CBM domains were proved to be suitable for one-step immobilization/purification process, retaining almost total activity offered. However, purification process was only successful with CBM9.

Abstract
The highly transmissible severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has infected more than 253 million people, claiming ∼5.1 million lives to date. Although mandatory quarantines, lockdowns, and vaccinations help curb viral transmission, there is a pressing need for cost-effective systems to mitigate the viral spread. Here, we present a generic strategy for capturing SARS-CoV-2 through functionalized cellulose materials. Specifically, we developed a bifunctional fusion protein consisting of a cellulose-binding domain and a nanobody (Nb) targeting the receptor-binding domain of SARS-CoV-2. The immobilization of the fusion proteins on cellulose substrates enhanced the capture efficiency of Nbs against SARS-CoV-2 pseudoviruses of the wild type and the D614G variant, the latter of which has been shown to confer higher infectivity. Furthermore, the fusion protein was integrated into a customizable chromatography with highly porous cellulose to capture viruses from complex fluids in a continuous fashion. By capturing and containing viruses through the Nb-functionalized cellulose, our work may find utilities in virus sampling and filtration through the development of paper-based diagnostics, environmental tracking of viral spread, and reducing the viral load from infected individuals. IMPORTANCE The ongoing efforts to address the COVID-19 pandemic center around the development of diagnostics, preventative measures, and therapeutic strategies. In comparison to existing work, we have provided a complementary strategy to capture SARS-CoV-2 by functionalized cellulose materials through paper-based diagnostics as well as virus filtration in perishable samples. Specifically, we developed a bifunctional fusion protein consisting of both a cellulose-binding domain and a nanobody specific for the receptor-binding domain of SARS-CoV-2. As a proof of concept, the fusion protein-coated cellulose substrates exhibited enhanced capture efficiency against SARS-CoV-2 pseudovirus of both the wild type and the D614G variant, the latter of which has been shown to confer higher infectivity. Furthermore, the fusion protein was integrated into a customizable chromatography for binding viruses from complex biological fluids in a highly continuous and cost-effective manner. Such antigen-specific capture can potentially immobilize viruses of interest for viral detection and removal, which contrasts with the common size- or affinity-based filtration devices that bind a broad range of bacteria, viruses, fungi, and cytokines present in blood (https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT04413955). Additionally, since our work focuses on capturing and concentrating viruses from surfaces and fluids as a means to improve detection, it can serve as an “add-on” technology to complement existing viral detection methods, many of which have been largely focusing on improving intrinsic sensitivities.

Abstract
Background Proteins with novel functions or advanced activities developed by various protein engineering techniques must have sufficient solubility to retain their bioactivity. However, inactive protein aggregates are frequently produced during heterologous protein expression in Escherichia coli. To prevent the formation of inclusion bodies, fusion tag technology has been commonly employed, owing to its good performance in soluble expression of target proteins, ease of application, and purification feasibility. Thus, researchers have continuously developed novel fusion tags to expand the expression capacity of high-value proteins in E. coli. Results A novel fusion tag comprising carbohydrate-binding module 66 (CBM66) was developed for the soluble expression of heterologous proteins in E. coli. The target protein solubilization capacity of the CBM66 tag was verified using seven proteins that are poorly expressed or form inclusion bodies in E. coli: four human-derived signaling polypeptides and three microbial enzymes. Compared to native proteins, CBM66-fused proteins exhibited improved solubility and high production titer. The protein-solubilizing effect of the CBM66 tag was compared with that of two commercial tags, maltose-binding protein and glutathione-S-transferase, using poly(ethylene terephthalate) hydrolase (PETase) as a model protein; CBM66 fusion resulted in a 3.7-fold higher expression amount of soluble PETase (approximately 370 mg/L) compared to fusion with the other commercial tags. The intact PETase was purified from the fusion protein upon serial treatment with enterokinase and affinity chromatography using levan-agarose resin. The bioactivity of the three proteins assessed was maintained even when the CBM66 tag was fused. Conclusions The use of the CBM66 tag to improve soluble protein expression facilitates the easy and economic production of high-value proteins in E. coli.

Abstract
Bacterial biopolymers are naturally occurring materials comprising a wide range of molecules with diverse chemical structures that can be produced from renewable sources following the principles of the circular economy. Over the last decades, they have gained substantial interest in the biomedical field as drug nanocarriers, implantable material coatings, and tissue-regeneration scaffolds or membranes due to their inherent biocompatibility, biodegradability into nonhazardous disintegration products, and their mechanical properties, which are similar to those of human tissues. The present review focuses upon three technologically advanced bacterial biopolymers, namely, bacterial cellulose (BC), polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA), and γ-polyglutamic acid (PGA), as models of different carbon-backbone structures (polysaccharides, polyesters, and polyamides) produced by bacteria that are suitable for biomedical applications in nanoscale systems. This selection models evidence of the wide versatility of microorganisms to generate biopolymers by diverse metabolic strategies. We highlight the suitability for applied sustainable bioprocesses for the production of BC, PHA, and PGA based on renewable carbon sources and the singularity of each process driven by bacterial machinery. The inherent properties of each polymer can be fine-tuned by means of chemical and biotechnological approaches, such as metabolic engineering and peptide functionalization, to further expand their structural diversity and their applicability as nanomaterials in biomedicine.

Abstract
Cellobiohydrolases directly convert crystalline cellulose into cellobiose and are of biotechnological interest to achieve efficient biomass utilization. As a result, much research in the field has focused on identifying cellobiohydrolases that are very fast. Cellobiohydrolase A from the bacterium Cellulomonas fimi (CfCel6B) and cellobiohydrolase II from the fungus Trichoderma reesei (TrCel6A) have similar catalytic domains (CDs) and show similar hydrolytic activity. However, TrCel6A and CfCel6B have different cellulose-binding domains (CBDs) and linkers: TrCel6A has a glycosylated peptide linker, whereas CfCel6B's linker consists of three fibronectin type 3 domains. We previously found that TrCel6A's linker plays an important role in increasing the binding rate constant to crystalline cellulose. However, it was not clear whether CfCel6B's linker has similar function. Here we analyze kinetic parameters of CfCel6B using single-molecule fluorescence imaging to compare CfCel6B and TrCel6A. We find that CBD is important for initial binding of CfCel6B, but the contribution of the linker to the binding rate constant or to the dissociation rate constant is minor. The crystal structure of the CfCel6B CD showed longer loops at the entrance and exit of the substrate-binding tunnel compared with TrCel6A CD, which results in higher processivity. Furthermore, CfCel6B CD showed not only fast surface diffusion but also slow processive movement, which is not observed in TrCel6A CD. Combined with the results of a phylogenetic tree analysis, we propose that bacterial cellobiohydrolases are designed to degrade crystalline cellulose using high-affinity CBD and high-processivity CD.

Abstract
Background Several types of phospholipases have been described in phospholipids modification. The majority of phospholipase D (PLD) superfamily members can catalyze two separate reactions: the hydrolysis of phospholipids to produce phosphatidic acid (PA) and the transphosphatidylation of phosphatidyl groups into various phosphatidyl alcohols to produce modified phospholipids. Transphosphatidylation is a useful biocatalytic method for the synthesis of functional phospholipids from lecithin or phosphatidylcholine (PC), which are both easily accessible. Different PLD coding genes have been cloned from various sources from viral, prokaryotic, and eukaryotic organisms. Despite the catalytic potential of PLD, their low productivity has hampered their practical applications, probably because PLD, which is highly toxic to the host cells, when transformation of the PLD genes into the host cells, degrade PLs in the cell membrane. In this study, we designed a novel two-step expression system to produce and secrete recombinant PLD in extracellular medium, cellulose-binding domains as an affinity fused with PLD for immobilization and purification proteins. Results The engineered BL21 (DE3) host strain, which harbored the final expression vector pET28a-PLD-CBD-araC-ESN, was induced by IPTG and L-arabinose, the cell density decreased rapidly over a 2 h period and the enzymes released into the extracellular medium accounts owned 81.75% hydrolytic activity. Scanning electron microscopy results showed that there were obvious structural changes on the cell surface. The extracellularly secreted PLD-CBD powder was used to catalyze the transphosphatidylation reaction synthesis of phosphatidylserine, 2.3 U enzymes reacted for 12 h, during which the conversion rate reached 99% with very few by-products being produced. When the fused protein PLD-CBD immobilized on microcrystalline cellulose, the enzymes can be cycle used five times with 26% conversion rate was preserved. Conclusions This study introduced an effective method for use in the expression of recombinant proteins and their extracellular secretion that simplifies the steps of sonication and purification and demonstrates great potential in the industrial application of enzymes. Cellulose as the most abundant renewable biomass resources in nature, and the cost is low, used for PLD immobilization make it more simple, effective and sustainable.

Abstract
Endoglucanase, an important component of cellulases, is used as additives in ensiling of forage crops. However, its detailed role is unclear in ensilages. In the present study, two endoglucanases Cel5 and Cel9 produced by strain Paenibacillus panacisoli SDMCC050309, previously isolated from ensiled corn stover, were identified in the cultures by microcrystalline cellulose absorption coupled with zymogram analysis. After heterologously expressed in Escherichia coli DE3 and purified, these two proteins were biochemically characterized. Cel5 was 61 kDa and showed maximal activity at pH 7.0 and 45 °C, while the maximum activity was at pH 8.0 and 65 °C for Cel9 with 97 kDa in size. Both of them could degrade carboxymethyl cellulose into cellooligosaccharides, in which cellobiose and cellotriose could be used as substrates for the growth of homofermentative strains Lactobacillus plantarum CGMCC6888 and L. farciminis CCTCC AB2016237, but not for the heterofermentative strains L. brevis SDMCC050297 and L. parafarraginis SDMCC050300. Therefore, we concluded that the added endoglucanase contributed to enhance the growth of homofermentative lactic acid bacteria for high level of lactic acid production in ensilages.

Abstract
Classical swine fever virus (CSFV) is highly contagious, and fatal to infected pigs. Vaccines against CSFV have been developed from attenuated or modified live viruses. These vaccines are effective for immunization of animals, but they are associated with problems such as the accidental spreading of viruses to animals in the field, and with barriers to trade following vaccination. Here, we report the generation of transgenic Nicotiana benthamiana plants for large-scale, cost-effective production of E2 fusion protein for use as a recombinant vaccine against CSFV in pigs. Transgenic N. benthamiana plants harboring an intergenic, single-copy insertion of a chimeric gene encoding E2 fusion protein had high levels of transgene expression. For large-scale production of E2 fusion protein from leaf tissues, we developed a protein-purification protocol consisting of cellulose-binding domain (CBD)-cellulose-based affinity purification and size-exclusion gel-filtration chromatography. E2 fusion proteins showed high immunogenicity in piglets and provided protection against CSFV challenge. The CBD in the E2 fusion protein was also highly immunogenic. These results suggest that plant-produced recombinant E2 fusion proteins can be developed into cost-effective vaccines against CSFV, with the CBD as a marker antigen to differentiate between vaccination and natural infection.

Abstract
Coiled-coil domains of intermediate filaments (IF) and prokaryotic IF-like proteins enable oligomerisation and filamentation, and no additional function is ascribed to these coiled-coil domains. However, an IF-like protein from Streptomyces reticuli was reported to display cellulose affinity. We demonstrate that cellulose affinity is an intrinsic property of the IF-like proteins FilP and Scy and the coiled-coil protein DivIVA from the genus Streptomyces. Furthermore, IF-like proteins and DivIVA from other prokaryotic species and metazoan IF display cellulose affinity despite having little sequence homology. Cellulose affinity-based purification is utilised to isolate native FilP protein from the whole cell lysate of S. coelicolor. Moreover, cellulose affinity allowed for the isolation of IF and IF-like protein from the whole cell lysate of C. crescentus and a mouse macrophage cell line. The binding to cellulose is mediated by certain combinations of coiled-coil domains, as demornstrated for FilP and lamin. Fusions of target proteins to cellulose-binding coiled-coil domains allowed for cellulose-based protein purification. The data presented show that cellulose affinity is a novel function of certain coiled-coil domains of IF and IF-like proteins from evolutionary diverse species.

Abstract
Because cellulase was the main enzyme used in bioconversion of lignocellulose, it was a valid way to reduce the hydrolysis cost by increasing the adsorption and hydrolysis efficiency of cellulase. In this study, modified cellobiohydrolases (CBHs) and endoglucanases (EGs) were constructed. Two engineered cellulases CBH-TrCBMV27E,P30D,Link1 and EG-TrCBMV27E,P30D,Link1 well-performed during hydrolysis. Compared to wild-type enzymes, EG-TrCBMV27E,P30D,Link1 had relatively less adsorption ability to lignin and greater affinity to cellulose, especially Avicel. However, for CBH-TrCBMV27E,P30D,Link1, the hydrolysis manner was changed and in favor to hydrolysis process, although the adsorption properties were unexpected. It suggested that various binding conformations of polysaccharide on CBMs hypothetically resulted in different functions of CBMs, including binding ability, processive and digestive properties on fiber surface. Fusion of T. r-CBMV27E,P30D,Link1 to cellulase, both CBH and EG, gave the destruction ability of enzyme and increased the accessible surface of substrate to cellulase, enhanced the adsorption and hydrolysis efficiency of cellulase.

Abstract
In this work, we report the development of a general strategy for enhancing the efficiency of target capture in immunoassays, using a bifunctional fusion protein construct which incorporates a substrate-anchoring moiety for the high-abundance immobilization of an antigen-binding domain. This approach was informed by the development of a pseudo first-order rate constant model, and tested in a paper-based assay format using a fusion construct consisting of an rcSso7d binding module and a cellulose-binding domain. These rcSso7d-CBD fusion proteins were solubly expressed and purified from bacteria in high molar yields, and enable oriented, high-density adsorption of the rcSso7d binding species to unmodified cellulose within a 30-second incubation period. These findings were validated using two distinct, antigen-specific rcSso7d variants, which were isolated from a yeast surface display library via flow cytometry. Up to 1.6 micromoles of rcSso7d-CBD was found to adsorb per gram of cellulose, yielding a volume-averaged binder concentration of up to 760μM within the resulting active material. At this molar abundance, the target antigen is captured from solution with nearly 100% efficiency, maximizing the attainable sensitivity for any given diagnostic system.

Abstract
Complicated purification steps, together with the fact that β-glucosidase has to be tolerant to ethanol restricts the application of β-glucosidase in isoflavone aglycone hydrolyzing process. β-Glucosidase Bgl1A(A24S/F297Y) is a promising enzyme in hydrolyzing isoflavones. In this work, six different carbohydrate-binding modules (CBMs), which were from 3 families, were fused to the C-terminal of Bgl1A(A24S/F297Y), respectively, to simplify the enzyme preparation process. The fusion proteins were expressed in Escherichia coli and adsorbed onto cellulose. The Bgl-CBM24 was found to have the highest immobilization efficiency at room temperature within 1 h adsorption. Notably, 1-g cellulose absorbs up to 254.9±5.7 U of Bgl-CBM24. Interestingly, the immobilized Bgl-CBM24 showed improved ethanol tolerance ability, with the IC50 of 35% (v/v) ethanol. Bgl-CBM24 effectively hydrolyze soybean isoflavone glycosides. The hydrolysis rate of daidzin and gemistin was 85.22±3.24% and 82.14±3.82% within 10 min, with the concentrations of daidzein and genistein increased by 6.36±0.18 mM and 3.98±0.22 mM, respectively. In the repetitive hydrolytic cycles, the concentrations of daidzein and genistein still increased by 3.07±0.24 mM and 1.94±0.34 mM in the fourth cycle with 20% (v/v) ethanol. These results suggest that the immobilized Bgl-CBM24 has excellent potential in the preparation of isoflavone aglycones.

Abstract
Carbohydrate-binding modules (CBMs) are non-catalytic domains that are generally appended to carbohydrate-active enzymes. CBMs have a broadly conserved structure that allows recognition of a notable variety of carbohydrates, in both their soluble and insoluble forms, as well as in their alpha and beta conformations and with different types of bonds or substitutions. This versatility suggests a high functional plasticity that is not yet clearly understood, in spite of the important number of studies relating protein structure and function. Several studies have explored the flexibility of these systems by changing or improving their specificity toward substrates of interest. In this review, we examine the molecular strategies used to identify CBMs with novel or improved characteristics. The impact of the spatial arrangement of the functional amino acids of CBMs is discussed in terms of unexpected new functions that are not related to the original biological roles of the enzymes.

Abstract
Bacterial inclusion bodies (IBs) consist of unfolded protein aggregates and represent inactive waste products often accumulating during heterologous overexpression of recombinant genes in Escherichia coli. This general misconception has been challenged in recent years by the discovery that IBs, apart from misfolded polypeptides, can also contain substantial amounts of active and thus correctly or native-like folded protein. The corresponding catalytically-active inclusion bodies (CatIBs) can be regarded as a biologically-active sub-micrometer sized biomaterial or naturally-produced carrier-free protein immobilizate. Fusion of polypeptide (protein) tags can induce CatIB formation paving the way towards the wider application of CatIBs in synthetic chemistry, biocatalysis and biomedicine. In the present review we summarize the history of CatIBs, present the molecular-biological tools that are available to induce CatIB formation, and highlight potential lines of application. In the second part findings regarding the formation, architecture, and structure of (Cat)IBs are summarized. Finally, an overview is presented about the available bioinformatic tools that potentially allow for the prediction of aggregation and thus (Cat)IB formation. This review aims at demonstrating the potential of CatIBs for biotechnology and hopefully contributes to a wider acceptance of this promising, yet not widely utilized, protein preparation.

Abstract
Virtually all recombinant proteins are now prepared using fusion domains also known as "tags". The use of tags helps to solve some serious problems: to simplify procedures of protein isolation, to increase expression and solubility of the desired protein, to simplify protein refolding and increase its efficiency, and to prevent proteolysis. In this review, advantages and disadvantages of such fusion tags are analyzed and data on both well-known and new tags are generalized. The authors own data are also presented.

Abstract
More than 70 years ago, the filamentous ascomycete Trichoderma reesei was isolated on the Solomon Islands due to its ability to degrade and thrive on cellulose containing fabrics. This trait that relies on its secreted cellulases is nowadays exploited by several industries. Most prominently in biorefineries which use T. reesei enzymes to saccharify lignocellulose from renewable plant biomass in order to produce biobased fuels and chemicals. In this review we summarize important milestones of the development of T. reesei as the leading production host for biorefinery enzymes, and discuss emerging trends in strain engineering. Trichoderma reesei has very recently also been proposed as a consolidated bioprocessing organism capable of direct conversion of biopolymeric substrates to desired products. We therefore cover this topic by reviewing novel approaches in metabolic engineering of T. reesei.

Abstract
Carbohydrate-binding modules (CBMs) are small components of several enzymes, which present an independent fold and function, and specific carbohydrate-binding activity. Their major function is to bind the enzyme to the substrate enhancing its catalytic activity, especially in the case of insoluble substrates. The immense diversity of CBMs, together with their unique properties, has long raised their attention for many biotechnological applications. Recombinant DNA technology has been used for cloning and characterizing new CBMs. In addition, it has been employed to improve the purity and availability of many CBMs, but mainly, to construct bi-functional CBM-fused proteins for specific applications. This review presents a comprehensive summary of the uses of CBMs recombinantly produced from heterologous organisms, or by the original host, along with the latest advances. Emphasis is given particularly to the applications of recombinant CBM-fusions in: (a) modification of fibers, (b) production, purification and immobilization of recombinant proteins, (c) functionalization of biomaterials and (d) development of microarrays and probes.

Abstract
The basidiomycete Coprinopsis cinerea contains a quinohemoprotein (CcPDH named as CcSDH in our previous paper), which is a new type of pyrroloquinoline-quinone (PQQ)-dependent pyranose dehydrogenase and is the first found among all eukaryotes. This enzyme has a three-domain structure consisting of an N-terminal heme b containing a cytochrome domain that is homologous to the cytochrome domain of cellobiose dehydrogenase (CDH; EC 1.1.99.18) from the wood-rotting basidiomycete Phanerochaete chrysosporium, a C-terminal family 1-type carbohydrate-binding module, and a novel central catalytic domain containing PQQ as a cofactor. Here, we describe the biochemical and electrochemical characterization of recombinant CcPDH. UV-vis and resonance Raman spectroscopic studies clearly reveal characteristics of a 6-coordinated low-spin heme b in both the ferric and ferrous states, as well as intramolecular electron transfer from the PQQ to heme b. Moreover, the formal potential of the heme was evaluated to be 130 mV vs. NHE by cyclic voltammetry. These results indicate that the cytochrome domain of CcPDH possesses similar biophysical properties to that in CDH. A comparison of the conformations of monosaccharides as substrates and the associated catalytic efficiency (kcat/Km) of CcPDH indicates that the enzyme prefers monosaccharides with equatorial C-2, C-3 hydroxyl groups and an axial C-4 hydroxyl group in the 1C4 chair conformation. Furthermore, a binding study shows a high binding affinity of CcPDH for cellulose, suggesting that CcPDH function is related to the enzymatic degradation of plant cell wall.

Abstract
The xylanase (Xyn10B) that strongly adsorbs on microcrystalline cellulose was isolated from Driselase. The Xyn10B contains a Carbohydrate-binding module family 1 (CBM1) (IrpCBMXyn10B) at N-terminus. The canonical essential aromatic residues required for cellulose binding were conserved in IrpCBMXyn10B; however, its adsorption ability was markedly higher than that typically observed for the CBM1 of an endoglucanase from Trametes hirsuta (ThCBMEG1). An analysis of the CBM-GFP fusion proteins revealed that the binding capacity to cellulose (7.8 μmol/g) and distribution coefficient (2.0 L/μmol) of IrpCBMXyn10B-GFP were twofold higher than those of ThCBMEG1-GFP (3.4 μmol/g and 1.2 L/μmol, respectively), used as a reference structure. Besides the canonical aromatic residues (W24-Y50-Y51) of typical CBM1-containing proteins, IrpCBMXyn10B had an additional aromatic residue (Y52). The mutation of Y52 to Ser (IrpCBMY52S-GFP) reduced these adsorption parameters to 4.4 μmol/g and 1.5 L/μmol, which were similar to those of ThCBMEG1-GFP. These results indicate that Y52 plays a crucial role in strong cellulose binding.

Abstract
Cellulose in plant cell walls is the largest reservoir of renewable carbon on Earth. The saccharification of cellulose from plant biomass into soluble sugars can be achieved using fungal and bacterial cellulolytic enzymes, cellulases, and further converted into fuels and chemicals. Most fungal cellulases are both N- and O-glycosylated in their native form, yet the consequences of glycosylation on activity and structure are not fully understood. Studying protein glycosylation is challenging as glycans are extremely heterogeneous, stereochemically complex, and glycosylation is not under direct genetic control. Despite these limitations, many studies have begun to unveil the role of cellulase glycosylation, especially in the industrially relevant cellobiohydrolase from Trichoderma reesei, Cel7A. Glycosylation confers many beneficial properties to cellulases including enhanced activity, thermal and proteolytic stability, and structural stabilization. However, glycosylation must be controlled carefully as such positive effects can be dampened or reversed. Encouragingly, methods for the manipulation of glycan structures have been recently reported that employ genetic tuning of glycan-active enzymes expressed from homogeneous and heterologous fungal hosts. Taken together, these studies have enabled new strategies for the exploitation of protein glycosylation for the production of enhanced cellulases for biofuel production.

Abstract
Carrageenan is a generic name for a family of polysaccharides obtained from certain species of red algae. New methods to produce useful cost-efficiently materials from red algae are needed to convert enzymatic processes into fermentable sugars. In this study, we constructed chimeric genes cCgkA and cCglA containing the catalytic domain of κ-carrageenase CgkA and λ-carrageenase CglA from Pseudoalteromonas carrageenovora fused with a dockerin domain. Recombinant strains expressing the chimeric carrageenase resulted in a halo formation on the carrageenan plate by alcian blue staining. The recombinant cCgkA and cCglA were assembled with scaffoldin miniCbpA via cohesin and dockerin interaction. Carbohydrate binding module (CBM) in scaffoldin was used as a tag for cellulose affinity purification using cellulose as a support. The hydrolysis process was monitored by the amount of reducing sugar released from carrageenan. Interestingly, these results indicated that miniCbpA, cCgkA and cCglA assembled into a complex and that the dockerin-fused enzymes on the scaffoldin had synergistic activity in the degradation of carrageenan. The observed enhancement of activity by carrageenolytic complex was 3.1-fold-higher compared with the corresponding enzymes alone. Thus, the assemblies of advancement of active enzyme complexes will facilitate the commercial production of useful products from red algae biomass which represents inexpensive and sustainable feed-stocks.

Abstract
The non-toxic and biocompatible cellulose possesses nonspecific binding properties for many protein molecules. But its abundant inter- and intra-molecular hydrogen bonds induce spontaneous self-assembly of cellulose into a random fibrous morphology and cellulose film coating is usually just available for two-dimensional flat substrates, which severely limits its protein adsorption performance. In this study, direct self-assembly of an ultrathin cellulose film on hybrid polyelectrolyte multilayer pre-coated pore surfaces of an anodic aluminum oxide membrane was achieved through the dissolution and precipitation of cellulose from N-methylmorpholine oxide solution. Each pore channel surface pre-coated with a uniform polyelectrolyte hybrid layer (thickness ∼5.0 nm) was covered by a cellulose film (∼15.0 nm) consisting of dense cellulose nanoparticles with a diameter of 5.5 ± 1.4 nm. The three-dimensional porous structure of the aluminum oxide membrane was well-preserved and micrometre-long flexible nanotubes with an average outer diameter of ∼200 nm were obtained after further aluminum oxide template dissolution treatment in an acidic environment. Moreover, the cellulose film coated pore channel surfaces presented sufficient hydrogen bonds and exhibited a high adsorption capacity rate of ∼1.45 mg m-2 for superoxide dismutase. This facile cellulose deposition approach enabled ultrathin cellulose film coating on three-dimensional structured substrates for enhanced adsorption performance for protein molecules.

Abstract
Cellobiohydrolases (CBHs) hydrolyzing crystalline cellulose share a two-domain structure of catalytic domain (CD) and cellulose-binding domain (CBD). To focus on the binding characteristics of CBD, we analyzed the adsorption of fusion protein of fungal family 1 CBD from Trichoderma reesei CBH I and red-fluorescent protein on crystalline and amorphous celluloses. Binding data were better fitted by Hill's model with negative cooperativity than by other adsorption models, suggesting the occurrence of a steric exclusion effect among the fusion molecules on the cellulose surfaces. The degree of negative cooperativity depended on the nature of the cellulose. The significance of this phenomenon for catalysis by intact CBHI is discussed.

Abstract
Cis-epoxysuccinic acid hydrolase (CESH) is an enzyme that catalyzes cis-epoxysuccinic acid to produce enantiomeric L(+)-tartaric acid. The production of tartaric acid by using CESH would be valuable in the chemical industry because of its high yield and selectivity, but the low stability of CESH hampers its application. To improve the stability of CESH, we fused five different carbohydrate-binding modules (CBMs) to CESH and immobilized the chimeric enzymes on cellulose. The effects of the fusion and immobilization on the activity, kinetics, and stability of CESH were compared. Activity measurements demonstrated that the fusion with CBMs and the immobilization on cellulose increased the pH and temperature adaptability of CESH. The chimeric enzymes showed significantly different enzyme kinetics parameters, among which the immobilized CBM30-CESH exhibited twofold catalytic efficiency compared with the native CESH. The half-life measurements indicated that the stability of the enzyme in its free form was slightly increased by the fusion with CBMs, whereas the immobilization on cellulose significantly increased the stability of the enzyme. The immobilized CBM30-CESH showed the longest half-life, which is more than five times the free native CESH half-life at 30 °C. Therefore, most CBMs can improve enzymatic properties, and CBM30 is the best fusion partner for CESH to improve both its enzymatic efficiency and its stability.
