Abstract
Hemicelluloses are the second most abundant polysaccharide in plant biomass, in which xylan is the main constituent. Aiming at the total degradation of xylan and the obtention of fermentable sugars, several enzymes acting synergistically are required, especially β-xylosidases. In this study, β-xylosidase from Geobacillus thermodenitrificans (GtXyl) was expressed in E. coli BL21 and characterized. The enzyme GtXyl has been grouped within the family of glycoside hydrolases 43 (GH43). Results showed that GtXyl obtained the highest activity at pH 5.0 and temperature of 60 °C. In the additive's tests, the enzyme remained stable in the presence of metal ions and EDTA, and showed high tolerance to xylose, with a relative activity of 55.4% at 400 mM. The enzyme also presented bifunctional activity of β-xylosidase and α-l-arabinofuranosidase, with the highest activity on the substrate p-nitrophenyl-β-d-xylopyranoside. The specific activity on p-nitrophenyl-β-d-xylopyranoside was 18.33 U mg-1 and catalytic efficiency of 20.21 mM-1 s-1, which is comparable to other β-xylosidases reported in the literature. Putting together, the GtXyl enzyme presented interesting biochemical characteristics that are desirable for the application in the enzymatic hydrolysis of plant biomass, such as activity at higher temperatures, high thermostability and stability to metal ions.

Abstract
The complete degradation of abundant xylan derived from plants requires the participation of β-xylosidases to produce the xylose which can be converted to xylitol, ethanol, and other valuable chemicals. Some phytochemicals can also be hydrolyzed by β-xylosidases into bioactive substances, such as ginsenosides, 10-deacetyltaxol, cycloastragenol, and anthocyanidins. On the contrary, some hydroxyl-containing substances such as alcohols, sugars, and phenols can be xylosylated by β-xylosidases into new chemicals such as alkyl xylosides, oligosaccharides, and xylosylated phenols. Thus, β-xylosidases shows great application prospects in food, brewing, and pharmaceutical industries. This review focuses on the molecular structures, biochemical properties, and bioactive substance transformation function of β-xylosidases derived from bacteria, fungi, actinomycetes, and metagenomes. The molecular mechanisms of β-xylosidases related to the properties and functions are also discussed. This review will serve as a reference for the engineering and application of β-xylosidases in food, brewing, and pharmaceutical industries.

Crystal structure and identification of amino acid residues for catalysis and binding of GH3 AnBX β-xylosidase from Aspergillus niger. Appl Microbiol Biotechnol 2023; 107:2335-2349. [PMID: 36877249 DOI: 10.1007/s00253-023-12445-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/06/2022] [Revised: 02/08/2023] [Accepted: 02/13/2023] [Indexed: 03/07/2023]
Abstract
β-Xylosidases catalyze the hydrolysis of xylooligosaccharides to xylose in the final step of hemicellulose degradation. AnBX, which is a GH3 β-xylosidase from Aspergillus niger, has a high catalytic efficiency toward xyloside substrates. In this study, we report the three-dimensional structure and the identification of catalytic and substrate binding residues of AnBX by performing site-directed mutagenesis, kinetic analysis, and NMR spectroscopy-associated analysis of the azide rescue reaction. The structure of the E88A mutant of AnBX, determined at 2.5-Å resolution, contains two molecules in the asymmetric unit, each of which is composed of three domains, namely an N-terminal (β/α)8 TIM-barrel-like domain, an (α/β)6 sandwich domain, and a C-terminal fibronectin type III domain. Asp288 and Glu500 of AnBX were experimentally confirmed to act as the catalytic nucleophile and acid/base catalyst, respectively. The crystal structure revealed that Trp86, Glu88 and Cys289, which formed a disulfide bond with Cys321, were located at subsite -1. Although the E88D and C289W mutations reduced catalytic efficiency toward all four substrates tested, the substitution of Trp86 with Ala, Asp and Ser increased the substrate preference for glucoside relative to xyloside substrates, indicating that Trp86 is responsible for the xyloside specificity of AnBX. The structural and biochemical information of AnBX obtained in this study provides invaluable insight into modulating the enzymatic properties for the hydrolysis of lignocellulosic biomass. KEY POINTS: • Asp288 and Glu500 of AnBX are the nucleophile and acid/base catalyst, respectively • Glu88 and the Cys289-Cys321 disulfide bond are crucial for the catalytic activity of AnBX • The W86A and W86S mutations in AnBX increased the preference for glucoside substrates.

Abstract
As a promising feedstock, alkali-extracted xylan from lignocellulosic biomass is desired for producing xylose, which can be used for renewable biofuels production. In this study, an efficient pathway has been established for low-cost and high-yield production of xylose by hydrolysis of alkali-extracted xylan from agricultural wastes using an endo-1,4-xylanase (XYLA) from Bacillus safensis TCCC 111022 and a β-xylosidase (XYLO) from B. pumilus TCCC 11573. The optimum activities of recombinant XYLA (rXYLA) and XYLO (rXYLO) were 60 ℃ and pH 8.0, and 30 ℃ and pH 7.0, respectively. They were stable over a broad pH range (pH 6.0-11.0 and 7.0-10.0). rXYLO showed a relatively high xylose tolerance up to 100 mM. Furthermore, the yield of xylose from wheat straw, rice straw, corn stover, corncob and sugarcane bagasse by rXYLA and rXYLO was 63.77%, 71.76%, 68.55%, 53.81%, and 58.58%, respectively. This study demonstrated a strategy to produce xylose from agricultural wastes by integrating alkali-extracted xylan and enzymatic hydrolysis.

High-level expression of a novel multifunctional GH3 family β-xylosidase/α-arabinosidase/β-glucosidase from Dictyoglomus turgidum in Escherichia coli. Bioorg Chem 2021; 111:104906. [PMID: 33894434 DOI: 10.1016/j.bioorg.2021.104906] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/28/2020] [Revised: 03/24/2021] [Accepted: 04/07/2021] [Indexed: 12/17/2022]
Abstract
A novel β-xylosidase Dt-2286 from Dictyoglomus turgidum was cloned and overexpressed in Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3). Dt-2286 belonging to glycoside hydrolase (GH) family 3 encodes a polypeptide with 762 amino acid residues with a molecular weight of 85.1 kDa. By optimization of the growth and induction conditions, the activity of β-xylosidase reached 273 U/mL, which is the highest yield reported to date from E. coli in a shake-flask. The optimal activities of the purified Dt-2286 were found at pH 5.0 and 98 °C. It also shows excellent thermostable/haloduric/organic solvent-tolerance. Dt-2286 was revealed to be a multifunctional enzyme with β-xylosidase, α-arabinofuranoside, α-arabinopyranoside and β-glucosidase activities, and Kcat/Km was 5245.316 mM-1 s-1, 2077.353 mM-1 s-1, 1626.454 mM-1 s-1, and 470.432 mM-1 s-1 respectively. Dt-2286 showed significant synergistic effects on the degradation of xylans, releasing more reduced sugars (up to 15.08 fold) by simultaneous addition with endoxylanase. Moreover, this enzyme has good activity in the hydrolysis of epimedium B, demonstrating its versatility in practical applications.

Functional screening of a Caatinga goat (Capra hircus) rumen metagenomic library reveals a novel GH3 β-xylosidase. PLoS One 2021; 16:e0245118.

Abstract
Functional screening of metagenomic libraries is an effective approach for identification of novel enzymes. A Caatinga biome goat rumen metagenomic library was screened using esculin as a substrate, and a gene from an unknown bacterium encoding a novel GH3 enzyme, BGL11, was identified. None of the BGL11 closely related genes have been previously characterized. Recombinant BGL11 was obtained and kinetically characterized. Substrate specificity of the purified protein was assessed using seven synthetic aryl substrates. Activity towards nitrophenyl-β-D-glucopyranoside (pNPG), 4-nitrophenyl-β-D-xylopyranoside (pNPX) and 4-nitrophenyl-β-D-cellobioside (pNPC) suggested that BGL11 is a multifunctional enzyme with β-glucosidase, β-xylosidase, and cellobiohydrolase activities. However, further testing with five natural substrates revealed that, although BGL11 has multiple substrate specificity, it is most active towards xylobiose. Thus, in its native goat rumen environment, BGL11 most likely functions as an extracellular β-xylosidase acting on hemicellulose. Biochemical characterization of BGL11 showed an optimal pH of 5.6, and an optimal temperature of 50°C. Enzyme stability, an important parameter for industrial application, was also investigated. At 40°C purified BGL11 remained active for more than 15 hours without reduction in activity, and at 50°C, after 7 hours of incubation, BGL11 remained 60% active. The enzyme kinetic parameters of Km and Vmax using xylobiose were determined to be 3.88 mM and 38.53 μmol.min-1.mg-1, respectively, and the Kcat was 57.79 s-1. In contrast to BLG11, most β-xylosidases kinetically studied belong to the GH43 family and have been characterized only using synthetic substrates. In industry, β-xylosidases can be used for plant biomass deconstruction, and the released sugars can be fermented into valuable bio-products, ranging from the biofuel ethanol to the sugar substitute xylitol.

Abstract
This review examines the recent models describing the mode of action of various xylanolytic enzymes and how these enzymes can be applied (sequentially or simultaneously) with their distinctive roles in mind to achieve efficient xylan degradation. With respect to homeosynergy, synergism appears to be as a result of β-xylanase and/or oligosaccharide reducing-end β-xylanase liberating xylo-oligomers (XOS) that are preferred substrates of the processive β-xylosidase. With regards to hetero-synergism, two cross relationships appear to exist and seem to be the reason for synergism between the enzymes during xylan degradation. These cross relations are the debranching enzymes such as α-glucuronidase or side-chain cleaving enzymes such as carbohydrate esterases (CE) removing decorations that would have hindered back-bone-cleaving enzymes, while backbone-cleaving-enzymes liberate XOS that are preferred substrates of the debranching and side-chain-cleaving enzymes. This interaction is demonstrated by high yields in co-production of xylan substituents such as arabinose, glucuronic acid and ferulic acid, and XOS. Finally, lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMO) have also been implicated in boosting whole lignocellulosic biomass or insoluble xylan degradation by glycoside hydrolases (GH) by possibly disrupting entangled xylan residues. Since it has been observed that the same enzyme (same Enzyme Commission, EC, classification) from different GH or CE and/or AA families can display different synergistic interactions with other enzymes due to different substrate specificities and properties, in this review, we propose an approach of enzyme selection (and mode of application thereof) during xylan degradation, as this can improve the economic viability of the degradation of xylan for producing precursors of value added products.

Abstract
Xylan, a component of plant cell walls, is composed of a backbone of β-1,4-linked xylopyranosyl units with a number of substituents. The complete degradation of xylan requires the action of several enzymes, among them β-xylosidase. The fungus Penicillium purpurogenum secretes a number of enzymes participating in the degradation of xylan. In this study, a β-xylosidase from this fungus was expressed in Pichia pastoris, and characterized. This enzyme (Xyl2) is a member of glycoside hydrolase family 3; it consists of a sequence of 792 residues including a signal peptide of 20 residues, with a theoretical molecular mass for the mature protein of 84.2 KDa and an isoelectric point of 5.07. The highest identity with a characterized fungal enzyme, is with a β-xylosidase from Aspergillus oryzae (70%). The optimal activity of Xyl2 is found at pH 2.0 and 28 °C. The enzyme is most stable at pH 2.0 and conserves 40% of activity at 42 °C (after 1h incubation). The kinetic parameters for p-nitrophenyl-β-d-xylopyranoside are: KM 0.53 mM, kcat 1*107 s-1 and kcat/KM 1.9*1010 M-1 s-1. The enzyme is about 10% active on p-nitrophenyl-α-l-arabinofuranoside. Xyl2 exhibits a high hydrolytic activity on xylooligosaccharides; it liberates xylose from beechwood and birchwood glucuronoxylan and it acts synergistically with endoxylanases in the degradation of xylan. Its low pH optimum make this enzyme particularly useful in potential applications requiring a low pH such as increasing the flavor of wine.

The goal of this study was to enhance the production of xylooligosaccharides (XOs) and reduce the production of xylose. We investigated β-xylosidases, which were key enzymes in the hydrolysis of xylan into xylose, in Trichoderma orientalis EU7-22. The binary vector pUR5750G/bxl::hph was constructed to knock out the β-xyl1 gene (encoding β-xylosidases) in T. orientalis EU7-22 by homologous integration, producing the mutant strain T. orientalis Bxyl-1. Xylanase activity for strain Bxyl-1 was 452.42 IU/mL, which increased by only 0.07% compared to that of parental strain EU7-22, whereas β-xylosidase activity was 0.06 IU/mL, representing a 91.89% decrease. When xylanase (200 IU/g xylan), produced by T. orientalis EU7-22 and T. orientalis Bxyl-1, was used to hydrolyze beechwood xylan, in contrast to the parental strain, the XOs were enhanced by 83.27%, whereas xylose decreased by 45.80% after 36 h in T. orientalis Bxyl-1. Based on these results, T. orientalis Bxyl-1 has great potential for application in the production of XOs from lignocellulosic biomass.

Abstract
Abstractβ-Glucosidases play an important role in biomass degradation as they hydrolyze cellobiose to glucose in a final step of cellulolysis. In particular, ruminant animals rely onβ-glucosidases from rumen microorganisms for conversion of plant cellulosic materials into glucose. In this study, we are interested in characterization of a novelβ-glucosidase from rumen microorganisms. However, most rumen microorganisms are obligate anaerobes, which require special cultivation conditions. Presently, the metagenomic techniques, which enable isolation and characterization of microbial genes directly from environmental samples, have been applied to overcome these problems. In this study, the sequence-based screening approach was successfully applied to identify a novelβ-glucosidase gene,Br2, from a bovine rumen metagenomic sample. A 1338-bp complete coding sequence ofBr2encodes a 51-kDa GH1β-glucosidase of 445 amino acid residues with 59% sequence identity to aβ-glucosidase fromCellulosilyticum ruminicolaJCM 14822. The recombinantly expressed Br2 exhibited an optimal activity at pH 6.5 and 40°C, reflecting its rumen bacterial origin, and relatively higher catalytic efficiencies toward glucoside and fucoside substrates than other glycosides, similar to many previously reported bacterialβ-glucosidases. Our sequence-based screening approach can be applied to identify other genes of interest from environmental samples.

Direct bioethanol production from wheat straw using xylose/glucose co-fermentation by co-culture of two recombinant yeasts. ACTA ACUST UNITED AC 2017; 44:453-464.

Abstract
Abstract
To achieve a cost-effective bioconversion of lignocellulosic materials, a novel xylose/glucose co-fermentation process by co-culture of cellulose-utilizing recombinant Saccharomyces cerevisiae (S. cerevisiae) and xylan-utilizing recombinant Pichia pastoris (P. pastoris) was developed, in which ethanol was produced directly from wheat straw without additional hydrolytic enzymes. Recombinant S. cerevisiae coexpressing three types of cellulase and recombinant P. pastoris coexpressing two types of xylanase were constructed, respectively. All cellulases and xylanases were successfully expressed and similar extracellular activity was demonstrated. The maximum ethanol concentration of 32.6 g L−1 with the yield 0.42 g g−1 was achieved from wheat straw corresponding to 100 g L−1 of total sugar after 80 h co-fermentation, which corresponds to 82.6% of the theoretical yield. These results demonstrate that the direct and efficient ethanol production from lignocellulosic materials is accomplished by simultaneous saccharification (cellulose and hemicellulose) and co-fermentation (glucose and xylose) with the co-culture of the two recombinant yeasts.

Abstract
Background Glycosides are compounds displaying crucial biological roles and plenty of applications. Traditionally, these molecules have been chemically obtained, but its efficient production is limited by the lack of regio- and stereo-selectivity of the chemical synthesis. As an interesting alternative, glycosidases are able to catalyze the formation of glycosides in a process considered green and highly selective. In this study, we report the expression and characterization of a fungal β-xylosidase in Pichia pastoris. The transglycosylation potential of the enzyme was evaluated and its applicability in the synthesis of a selective anti-proliferative compound demonstrated. Results The β-xylosidase BxTW1 from the ascomycete fungus Talaromyces amestolkiae was cloned and expressed in Pichia pastoris GS115. The yeast secreted 8 U/mL of β-xylosidase that was purified by a single step of cation-exchange chromatography. rBxTW1 in its active form is an N-glycosylated dimer of about 200 kDa. The enzyme was biochemically characterized displaying a Km and kcat against p-nitrophenyl-β-d-xylopyranoside of 0.20 mM and 69.3 s−1 respectively, and its maximal activity was achieved at pH 3 and 60 °C. The glycan component of rBxTW1 was also analyzed in order to interpret the observed loss of stability and maximum velocity when compared with the native enzyme. A rapid screening of aglycone specificity was performed, revealing a remarkable high number of potential transxylosylation acceptors for rBxTW1. Based on this analysis, the enzyme was successfully tested in the synthesis of 2-(6-hydroxynaphthyl) β-d-xylopyranoside, a well-known selective anti-proliferative compound, enzymatically obtained for the first time. The application of response surface methodology, following a Box-Behnken design, enhanced this production by eightfold, fitting the reaction conditions into a multiparametric model. The naphthyl derivative was purified and its identity confirmed by NMR. Conclusions A β-xylosidase from T. amestolkiae was produced in P. pastoris and purified. The final yields were much higher than those attained for the native protein, although some loss of stability and maximum velocity was observed. rBxTW1 displayed remarkable acceptor versatility in transxylosylation, catalyzing the synthesis of a selective antiproliferative compound, 2-(6-hydroxynaphthyl) β-d-xylopyranoside. These results evidence the interest of rBxTW1 for transxylosylation of relevant products with biotechnological interest.
