Enhancing thermostabilization of a newly discovered α-amylase from Bacillus cereus GL96 by combining computer-aided directed evolution and site-directed mutagenesis. Int J Biol Macromol 2021; 197:12-22. [PMID: 34920075 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2021.12.057] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/25/2021] [Revised: 11/30/2021] [Accepted: 12/08/2021] [Indexed: 12/21/2022]
Abstract
This study has described the characterization of a new a-amylase from the recently isolated Bacillus cereus GL96. Subsequently, an in-silico approach was taken into account to redesign the enzyme to meet higher thermal stability. Finally, the engineered enzyme was constructed experimentally using side-directed mutagenesis (SDM) and characterized accordingly. The enzyme was stable over pH 4-11, with the highest activity at 9.5. The temperature profile of the wild-type enzyme showed optimum activity at 50 °C plus 40% of stability at temperatures up to 70 °C. The in-silico result was indicated D162W, D162R, and D162K as the three stabilizing mutations. Among them, D162K showed better results, especially in the molecular dynamics simulation, and therefore, it was constructed by SDM. This variant was shown 5 °C higher optimum temperature (55 °C) with increasing activity than the native enzyme. In addition, it was significantly more stable than the native form. For example, while the latter almost wholly lost its function at a temperature above 70 °C, the D162K can retain more than 40% of its initial activity up to 80 °C. Considering the promising properties that the mutant enzyme showed, it can be considered for further investigation to meet the industrial requirement completely.

Microbial starch debranching enzymes: Developments and applications. Biotechnol Adv 2021; 50:107786. [PMID: 34147588 DOI: 10.1016/j.biotechadv.2021.107786] [Citation(s) in RCA: 22] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/28/2020] [Revised: 06/04/2021] [Accepted: 06/15/2021] [Indexed: 12/28/2022]
Abstract
Starch debranching enzymes (SDBEs) hydrolyze the α-1,6 glycosidic bonds in polysaccharides such as starch, amylopectin, pullulan and glycogen. SDBEs are also important enzymes for the preparation of sugar syrup, resistant starch and cyclodextrin. As the synergistic catalysis of SDBEs and other starch-acting hydrolases can effectively improve the raw material utilization and production efficiency during starch processing steps such as saccharification and modification, they have attracted substantial research interest in the past decades. The substrate specificities of the two major members of SDBEs, pullulanases and isoamylases, are quite different. Pullulanases generally require at least two α-1,4 linked glucose units existing on both sugar chains linked by the α-1,6 bond, while isoamylases require at least three units of α-1,4 linked glucose. SDBEs mainly belong to glycoside hydrolase (GH) family 13 and 57. Except for GH57 type II pullulanse, GH13 pullulanases and isoamylases share plenty of similarities in sequence and structure of the core catalytic domains. However, the N-terminal domains, which might be one of the determinants contributing to the substrate binding of SDBEs, are distinct in different enzymes. In order to overcome the current defects of SDBEs in catalytic efficiency, thermostability and expression level, great efforts have been made to develop effective enzyme engineering and fermentation strategies. Herein, the diverse biochemical properties and distinct features in the sequence and structure of pullulanase and isoamylase from different sources are summarized. Up-to-date developments in the enzyme engineering, heterologous production and industrial applications of SDBEs is also reviewed. Finally, research perspective which could help understanding and broadening the applications of SDBEs are provided.

Biodegradation of recalcitrant compounds and phthalates by culturable bacteria isolated from Liometopum apiculatum microbiota. World J Microbiol Biotechnol 2020; 36:73. [PMID: 32385754 DOI: 10.1007/s11274-020-02850-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/06/2019] [Accepted: 05/04/2020] [Indexed: 10/24/2022]
Abstract
Liometopum apiculatum is a species of ants widely distributed in arid and semi-arid ecosystems where there is a relative food shortage compared with tropical ecosystems. L. apiculatum has established an ecological balance involving symbiotic interactions, which have allowed them to survive through mechanisms that are still unknown. Therefore, the aim of this study was to explore the metabolic potential of isolated bacteria from L. apiculatum using enzymatic activity assay and substrate assimilation. Results revealed a complex bacteria consortium belonging to Proteobacteria, Firmicutes, and Actinobacteria phylum. Most of the isolated bacteria showed activities associated with biopolymers degradation, from them Exiguobacterium and B. simplex showed the highest amylolytic activity (27 U/mg protein), while A. johnsonii and B. pumulis showed the highest cellulolytic and xylanolytic activities (1 and 2.9 U/mg protein, respectively). By other hand, some microorganisms such as S. ficaria, E. asburiae, P. agglomerans, A. johnsonii, S. rubidaea, S. marcescens, S. warneri, and M. hydrocarbonoxydans were able to grow up to 1000 mg/L of phthalates esters. These results not only revealed the important contribution of the symbionts in L apiculatum ants feeding habits, but also have shown a promising source of enzymes with potential biotechnological applications such as lignocellulosic biomass hydrolysis and bioremediation processes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Amylases enzymes hydrolyze starch molecules to produce diverse products including dextrins, and progressively smaller polymers. These include glucose units linked through α-1- 1, α-1-4, α-1-6, glycosidic bonds. METHODS This enzyme carrying an (α /β) 8 or TIM barrel structure is also produced containing the catalytic site residues. These groups of enzymes possess four conserved regions in their primary sequence. In the Carbohydrate-Degrading Enzyme (CAZy) database, α-amylases are classified into different Glycoside Hydrolase Families (GHF) based on their amino acid sequence. The present objective was to study one such enzyme based on its molecular characterization after purification in our laboratory. Its main property of solid-natural starch degradation was extensively investigated for its pharmaceutical/ industrial applications. RESULTS Amylase producing bacteria Bacillus cereus sm-sr14 (Accession no. KM251578.1) was purified to homogeneity on a Seralose 6B-150 gel-matrix and gave a single peak during HPLC. MALDITOF mass-spectrometry with bioinformatics studies revealed its significant similarity to α/β hydrolase family. The enzyme showed an efficient application; favourable Km, Vmax and Kcat during the catalysis of different natural solid starch materials. Analysis for hydrolytic product showed that this enzyme can be classified as the exo-amylase asit produced a significant amount of glucose. CONCLUSION Besides the purified enzyme, the present organism Bacillus cereus sm-sr14 could degrade natural solid starch materials like potato and rice up to the application level in the pharmaceutical/ industrial field for alcohol production.

Abstract
Novel thermostable amylase need to be continuously explored with the improvement of industrial requirements. A new acidophilic and thermostable amylase producing bacterium isolated from spring was identified as Bacillus strain on the basis of 16S rDNA. The amylase was purified by ammonium sulphate precipitation, gel chromatography and anion exchange chromatography. SDS-PAGE revealed that the enzyme was monomeric with a molecular weight of 58 kDa. The amylase exhibited optimal activity at pH 5.0 and temperature 100 °C. Then the enzyme showed high stability in pH ranges 4.0-10.0 and more than 90% of maximal activity was found from 20 °C to 80 °C. Apart from good stability toward SDS and non-ionic detergent, the purified enzyme exhibited high compatibility with some inhibitors such as urea and EDTA. The results demonstrated the stability of the enzyme in different organic solvents. Moreover, we determined the amylase gene, compared the structure with α-amylase BAA and BLA and found some thermostability determinants in our enzyme. Overall, presenting various properties were including high thermostability, Ca2+-independency, broad temperature and pH profiles, organic-solvent tolerance as well as excellent stability with detergents. Such characteristics have not been reported for this type of enzyme, and the α-amylase will be a suitable candidate in industrial fields.

Abstract
Disulfide bonds are among the most important factors related to correct folding of the proteins. Protein disulfide isomerase (PDI) is the enzyme responsible for the correct formation and isomerization of these bonds. It is rarely studied so far and none of them showed industrial properties. In this study, the gene encoding for a putative PDI from Bacillus subtilis DR8806 was identified, cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli. It was encoded a 23.26kDa protein. The enzyme was purified by GST affinity chromatography with a specific activity of 1227u/mg. It was active and stable over a wide range of temperature (20-85°C) and pH (4.5-10) with an optimum at 65°C and pH 5.5. Its activity was enhanced by Mn2+ and Co2+ while Ag+ and Zn2+ decreased it. Some of the known PDI inhibitors such as Tocinoic acid and Bactiracin did not affect its activity. In-silico analysis shows the five amino acids changes in the protein sequence regarding to the consensus sequence of PDIs, have a positive impact toward the protein thermal stability. This was further confirmed by molecular dynamics simulations. By considering the overall results, the enzyme might be a potential candidate for applications in the respective industries.

Abstract
Some industries require newer, more efficient recombinant enzymes to accelerate their ongoing biochemical reactions in harsh environments with less replenishment. Thus, the search for native enzymes from extremophiles that are suitable for use under industrial conditions is a permanent challenge for R & D departments. Here and toward such discoveries, two sequences homologous to amylopullulanases (EC 3.2.1.41, GH57) from an endogenous Cohnella sp., [Coh00831 (KP335161; 1998 bp) and Coh01133 (KP335160: 3678 bp)] were identified. The genes were heterologously expressed in E. coli to both determine their type and further characterize their properties. The isolated DNA was PCR amplified with gene specific primers and cloned in pET28a, and the recombinant proteins were expressed in E. coli BL21 (DE3). The temperatures and pH optima of purified recombinants Coh 01133 and Coh 00831 enzymes were 70°C and 8, and 60°C and 6, respectively. These enzymes are stable more than 90% in 60°C and 50°C for 90 min respectively. The major reactions released sugars which could be fractionated by HPLC analysis, from soluble starch were mainly maltose (G2), maltotriose (G3) and maltotetraose (G4). The enzymes hydrolyzed pullulan to maltotriose (G3) only. Enzyme activities for both proteins were improved in the availability of Mn2+, Ba2+, Ca2+, and Mg2+ and reduced in the presence of Fe2+, Li2+, Na2+, Triton X100 and urea. Moreover, Co2+, K+, and Cu2+ had a negative effect only on Coh 01133 enzyme.

Abstract
In this study, we aimed to optimize the cultural and nutritional conditions for protease production by Lysinibacillus fusiformis strain C250R in submerged fermentation process using statistical methodology. The most significant factors (gruel, wheat bran, yeast extract, and FeSO4) were identified by Plackett-Burman design. Response surface methodology (RSM) was used to determine the optimum levels of the screened factors and their interaction. Under the optimized conditions, protease yield 3100U/mL was 4.5 folds higher than those obtained by the use of the initial conditions (680U/mL). Additionally, a new extracellular 51kDa-protease, designated SAPLF, was purified and biochemically characterized from strain C250R. It shows optimum activity at 70°C and pH 10. Its half-life times at 70 and 80°C were 10 and 6-h, respectively. Irreversible inhibition of enzyme activity of SAPLF with serine protease inhibitors demonstrated that it belongs to the serine protease family. Interestingly, its catalytic efficiency was higher than that of SPVP from Aeribacillus pallidus strain VP3 and Alcalase Ultra 2.5L from Bacillus licheniformis. This study demonstrated that SAPLF has a high detergent compatibility and an excellent stain removal compared to Alcalase Ultra 2.5L; which offers an interesting potential for its application in the laundry detergent industry.

Abstract
A proteolytic strain of Bacillus pumilus MP 27 was isolated from water samples of Southern ocean produced alkaline protease. Since protease production need expensive ingredients, an economically viable process was developed by using low cost carbon source, wheat straw, supplemented with peptone. This protease was active within temperature ranges 10–70°C at pH 9. This process was optimized by response surface methodology using a Box Bekhman design by Design Expert 7.0 software that increased the protease activity to 776.5 U/ml. Moreover, the enzyme was extremely stable at a broad range of temperature and pH retaining 69% of its activity at 50°C and 70% at pH 11. The enzyme exhibited excellent compatibility with surfactants and commercial detergents, showing 87% stability with triton X-100 and 100% stability with Tide commercial detergent. The results of the wash performance analysis demonstrated considerably good de-staining at 50 and 4°C with low supplementation (109 U/ml). Molecular modeling of the protease revealed the presence of serine proteases, subtilase family and serine active site and further docking supported the association of catalytic site with the various substrates. Certainly, such protease can be considered as a good detergent additive in detergent industry with a possibility to remove the stains effectively even in a cold wash.

Abstract
An alkaliphilic-thermotolerant Bacillus cereus N1 isolated from Bani Salama Lake, Wadi El-Natron, Egypt, was proved to produce mannanase enzyme. Optimization of the fermentation medium components using Plackett–Burman design was applied. Glucose and inoculum size were found to be the most significant factors enhancing the production of the enzyme. On applying optimized medium in the fermentation process, an enzyme productivity of 42.2 UmL−1 was achieved with 6.4 fold increase compared to the basal one. Mannanase was also extracted and purified using chromatography such as ion-exchange chromatographic and gel filtration methods. It was indicated that, the mannanase activity extracted and purified from the isolate B. cereus N1 was reduced to 321.6 U (about 36% of the whole mannanase in the culture filtrate) in comparison with the initial mannanase activity (900 U) and the total protein content reduced to 52 mg (the initial total protein content was 220 mg). However, the specific activity for the mannanase from B. cereus N1 at the end of the purification steps was found to be about 628 Umg−1 compared to 4.2 Umg−1 at the initial culture filtrate. It was also indicated that the mannanase enzyme was purified almost 149-fold.

Abstract
An acidophilic and Ca(2+)-independent amylase was purified from a newly isolated Bacillus sp. DR90 by ion-exchange chromatography, and exhibited a molecular weight of 68.9 kDa by SDS-PAGE. The optimum pH and temperature of the enzyme were found to be 4.0 and 45 °C, respectively. The enzyme activity was increased by Ba(2+), Fe(2+) and Mg(2+), and decreased by Hg(2+) and Zn(2+), while it was not affected by Na(+), K(+), phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride and β-mercaptoethanol. Ca(2+) and EDTA did not have significant effect on the enzyme activity and thermal stability. The values of K m and V max for starch as substrate were 4.5 ± 0.13 mg/ml and 307 ± 12 μM/min/mg, respectively. N,N-dialkylimidazolium-based ionic liquids such as 1-hexyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide [HMIM][Br] have inhibitory effect on the enzyme activity. Thin layer chromatography analyses displayed that maltose and glucose are the main products of the enzyme reaction on starch. Regarding the features of the enzyme, it may be utilized as a novel candidate for industrial applications.
