[PMID: 38400957 PMCID: PMC10894092 DOI: 10.1007/s00253-024-13071-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/31/2023] [Revised: 01/22/2024] [Accepted: 02/13/2024] [Indexed: 02/26/2024]
Abstract
Enzyme immobilized on magnetic nanomaterials is a promising biocatalyst with efficient recovery under applied magnets. In this study, a recombinant extracellular lipase from Aspergillus niger GZUF36 (PEXANL1) expressed in Pichia pastoris GS115 was immobilized on ionic liquid-modified magnetic nano ferric oxide (Fe3O4@SiO2@ILs) via electrostatic and hydrophobic interaction. The morphology, structure, and properties of Fe3O4@SiO2@ILs and immobilized PEXANL1 were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, x-ray diffraction, vibration sample magnetometer, and zeta potential analysis. Under optimized conditions, the immobilization efficiency and activity recovery of immobilized PEXANL1 were 52 ± 2% and 122 ± 2%, respectively. The enzymatic properties of immobilized PEXANL1 were also investigated. The results showed that immobilized PEXANL1 achieved the maximum activity at pH 5.0 and 45 °C, and the lipolytic activity of immobilized PEXANL1 was more than twice that of PEXANL1. Compared to PEXANL1, immobilized PEXANL1 exhibited enhanced tolerance to temperature, metal ions, surfactants, and organic solvents. The operation stability experiments revealed that immobilized PEXANL1 maintained 86 ± 3% of its activity after 6 reaction cycles. The enhanced catalytic performance in enzyme immobilization on Fe3O4@SiO2@ILs made nanobiocatalysts a compelling choice for bio-industrial applications. Furthermore, Fe3O4@SiO2@ILs could also benefit various industrial enzymes and their practical uses. KEY POINTS: • Immobilized PEXANL1 was confirmed by SEM, FT-IR, and XRD. • The specific activity of immobilized PEXANL1 was more than twice that of PEXANL1. • Immobilized PEXANL1 had improved properties with good operational stability.

Won SJ, Yim JH, Kim HK. Synthesis of Short-Chain Alkyl Butyrate through Esterification Reaction Using Immobilized Rhodococcus Cutinase and Analysis of Substrate Specificity through Molecular Docking. J Microbiol Biotechnol 2023; 33:268-276. [PMID: 36524336 PMCID: PMC9998203 DOI: 10.4014/jmb.2211.11022] [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: 11/09/2022] [Accepted: 11/26/2022] [Indexed: 12/23/2022]
Abstract
Alkyl butyrate with fruity flavor is known as an important additive in the food industry. We synthesized various alkyl butyrates from various fatty alcohol and butyric acid using immobilized Rhodococcus cutinase (Rcut). Esterification reaction was performed in a non-aqueous system including heptane, isooctane, hexane, and cyclohexane. As a result of performing the alkyl butyrate synthesis reaction using alcohols of various chain lengths, it was found that the preference for the alcohol substrate had the following order: C6 > C4 > C8 > C10 > C2. Through molecular docking analysis, it was found that the greater the hydrophobicity of alcohol, the higher the accessibility to the active site of the enzyme. However, since the number of torsions increased as the chain length increased, it became difficult for the hydroxyl oxygen of the alcohol to access the γO of serine at the enzyme active site. These molecular docking results were consistent with substrate preference results of the Rcut enzyme. The Rcut maintained the synthesis efficiency at least for 5 days in isooctane solvent. We synthesized as much as 452 mM butyl butyrate by adding 100 mM substrate daily for 5 days and performing the reaction. These results show that Rcut is an efficient enzyme for producing alkyl butyrate used in the food industry.

Progress and perspectives of enzymatic preparation of human milk fat substitutes. BIOTECHNOLOGY FOR BIOFUELS AND BIOPRODUCTS 2022; 15:118. [PMCID: PMC9635142 DOI: 10.1186/s13068-022-02217-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/16/2022] [Accepted: 10/10/2022] [Indexed: 11/06/2022]
Abstract
Human milk fat substitutes (HMFS) with triacylglycerol profiles highly similar to those of human milk fat (HMF) play a crucial role in ensuring the supply in infant nutrition. The synthesis of HMFS as the source of lipids in infant formula has been drawing increasing interest in recent years, since the rate of breastfeeding is getting lower. Due to the mild reaction conditions and the exceptionally high selectivity of enzymes, lipase-mediated HMFS preparation is preferred over chemical catalysis especially for the production of lipids with desired nutritional and functional properties. In this article, recent researches regarding enzymatic production of HMFS are reviewed and specific attention is paid to different enzymatic synthetic route, such as one-step strategy, two-step catalysis and multi-step processes. The key factors influencing enzymatic preparation of HMFS including the specificities of lipase, acyl migration as well as solvent and water activity are presented. This review also highlights the challenges and opportunities for further development of HMFS through enzyme-mediated acylation reactions.
