Abstract
Substrate specificity in non-aqueous esterification catalyzed by commercial lipases activated by hydration-aggregation pretreatment was investigated. Four microbial lipases from Rhizopus japonicus, Burkholderia cepacia, Rhizomucor miehei, and Candida antarctica (fraction B) were used to study the effect of the carbon chain length of saturated fatty acid substrates on the esterification activity with methanol in n-hexane. Hydration-aggregation pretreatment had an activation effect on all lipases used, and different chain length dependencies of esterification activity for lipases from different origins were demonstrated. The effects of various acidic substrates with different degrees of unsaturation, aromatic rings, and alcohol substrates with different carbon chain lengths on esterification activity were examined using R. japonicus lipase, which demonstrated the most remarkable activity enhancement after hydration-aggregation pretreatment. Furthermore, in the esterification of myristic acid with methanol catalyzed by the hydrated-aggregated R. japonicus lipase, maximum reaction rate (5.43 × 10-5 mmol/(mg-biocat min)) and Michaelis constants for each substrate (48.5 mM for myristic acid, 24.7 mM for methanol) were determined by kinetic analysis based on the two-substrate Michaelis-Menten model.

An sn-2 regioselective lipase with cis-fatty acid preference from Cordyceps militaris: Biochemical characterization and insights into its regioselective mechanism. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 276:134013. [PMID: 39032883 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.134013] [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: 10/23/2023] [Revised: 05/09/2024] [Accepted: 07/17/2024] [Indexed: 07/23/2024]
Abstract
Lipase with unique regioselectivity is an attractive biocatalyst for elaborate lipid modification. However, the excavation of novel sn-2 regioselective lipases is difficult due to their scarcity in nature, with Candida antarctica lipase A (CALA) being the pronouncedly reported one. Here, we identified a novel CALA-like lipase from Cordyceps militaris (CACML7) via in silico mining. Through chiral-phase high-performance liquid chromatography, we determined that CACML7 displays sn-2 regioselectivity (>68 %) as does CALA, but exhibits distinctive chain length selectivity and bias against unsaturated fats. Notably, the curvature of the acyl-binding tunnel was expected to contribute to the 2.2-fold higher preference for cis-fatty acid (C18:1, cis-Δ9) over trans-fatty acid (C18:1, trans-Δ9) unlike trans-active CALA. Random pose docking of trioleoylglycerol (TOG) into the active site of a lid-truncated mutant of CACML7 revealed that TOG accepts a tuning fork conformation, of which the precise positioning of the reactive ester group towards the catalytic center was only favorable via sn-2 binding mode. The unique active site morphology, which we refer to as an "acyl-binding tunnel with a narrow entrance," may contribute to the sn-2 regioselectivity of CACML7. Our data provide an attractive model to better understand the mechanism underlying sn-2 regioselectivity.

Candida antartica lipase-catalyzed esterification for efficient partial acylglycerol synthesis in solvent-free system: Substrate selectivity, molecular modelling and optimization. BIORESOURCE TECHNOLOGY 2024; 412:131368.

Abstract
Partial acylglycerols are valued for their emulsifying and stabilizing properties, yet precise green synthesis remains challenging due to low yield and selectivity. This study aimed to elucidate the "lipase selectivity-substrate structure-product composition" relationship to enhance the yield of targeted partial acylglycerol. The results showed that lipase exhibited a greater selectivity towards fatty acids with shorter chain lengths and higher unsaturation. Hydroxyl donors also affected the esterification process, with the enzyme-acyl complex exhibiting selectivity towards hydroxyl donors as follows: glycerol > monoacylglycerol > diacylglycerol. Substrate ratio significantly influenced enzymatic reactions; a 10:1 ratio favored triacylglycerol formation (>80 %), while a 1:1 ratio produced > 90 % partial acylglycerols. Molecular docking simulations revealed that substrates primarily interacted with lipase through hydrogen bonding and hydrophobic interactions. A comprehensive understanding of lipase selectivity patterns could facilitate the design of more efficient reaction systems, enabling the conversion of basic lipid resources into desired high value-added products.

Abstract
The development of a green and facile method for the controlled synthesis of functional polypeptides is desired for sustainable material applications. In this study, the regioselective synthesis of poly(l-lysine) (polyLys) via enzyme-catalyzed aminolysis was achieved by bulk polymerization of l-lysine ethyl ester (Lys-OEt) using immobilized Candida antarctica lipase Novozym 435 (IM-lipase) or trypsin (IM-trypsin). Structural characterization of the obtained polyLys revealed that IM-lipase resulted solely in ε-linked amide bond formation, whereas IM-trypsin predominantly provided α-linked polyLys. Optimization of the conditions for the bulk polymerization using immobilized enzymes resulted in high monomer conversion and a high degree of polymerization, with excellent regioselectivity. Molecular docking simulations revealed different binding conformations of Lys-OEt to the catalytic pockets of lipase and trypsin, which putatively resulted in different amino moieties being used for amide bond formation. The immobilized enzymes were recovered and recycled for bulk polymerization, and the initial activity was maintained in the case of IM-trypsin. The obtained α- and ε-linked polyLys products exhibited different degradability against proteolysis, demonstrating the possibility of versatile applications as sustainable materials. This enzymatic regioregular control enabled the synthesis of well-defined polypeptide-based materials with a diverging structural variety.

Abstract
Phytohormone levels are regulated through specialized enzymes, participating not only in their biosynthesis but also in post-signaling processes for signal inactivation and cue depletion. Arabidopsis thaliana (At) carboxylesterase 15 (CXE15) and carboxylesterase 20 (CXE20) have been shown to deplete strigolactones (SLs) that coordinate various growth and developmental processes and function as signaling molecules in the rhizosphere. Here, we elucidate the X-ray crystal structures of AtCXE15 (both apo and SL intermediate bound) and AtCXE20, revealing insights into the mechanisms of SL binding and catabolism. The N-terminal regions of CXE15 and CXE20 exhibit distinct secondary structures, with CXE15 characterized by an alpha helix and CXE20 by an alpha/beta fold. These structural differences play pivotal roles in regulating variable SL hydrolysis rates. Our findings, both in vitro and in planta, indicate that a transition of the N-terminal helix domain of CXE15 between open and closed forms facilitates robust SL hydrolysis. The results not only illuminate the distinctive process of phytohormone breakdown but also uncover a molecular architecture and mode of plasticity within a specific class of carboxylesterases.

Abstract
Triacylglycerols (TAGs) are a primary energy source for marine mammals during lipid digestion. Walruses (Odobenus rosmarus divergens) consume prey with a high content of long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids; however, their digestive physiology and lipid digestion remain poorly studied. The present study aims to model and characterize the gastric (PWGL) and pancreatic (PWPL) lipases of Pacific walruses using an in-silico approach. The confident 3D models of PWGL and PWPL were obtained via homology modeling and protein threading and displayed the structural features of lipases. Molecular docking analysis demonstrated substrate selectivity for long-chain TAG (Trieicosapentaenoin; TC20:5n-3) in PWGL and short-chain TAG (Trioctanoin; TC8:0) in PWPL. Molecular dynamics simulations demonstrate that PWGL bound to tridocosahexaenoin (TC22:6n-3), the protein is considerably stable at all three salinity conditions, but fluctuations are observed in the regions associated with catalytic sites and the lid, indicating the potential hydrolysis of the substrate. This is the first study to report on the digestion of TAGs in walruses, including modeling and lipases characterization and proposing a digestive tract for pinnipeds.

A Study on the Regioselective Acetylation of Flavonoid Aglycons Catalyzed by Immobilized Lipases. Biomolecules 2024; 14:897.

Abstract
This study aimed to explore the capacity of immobilized lipases on the acetylation of six aglycon flavonoids, namely myricetin, quercetin, luteolin, naringenin, fisetin and morin. For this purpose, lipase B from Candida antarctica (CaLB) and lipase from Thermomyces lanuginosus (TLL) were immobilized onto the surface of ZnOFe nanoparticles derived from an aqueous olive leaf extract. Various factors affecting the conversion of substrates and the formation of monoesterified and diesterified products, such as the amount of biocatalyst and the molar ratio of the substrates and reaction solvents were investigated. Both CaLB and TLL-ZnOFe achieved 100% conversion yield of naringenin to naringenin acetate after 72 h of reaction time, while TLL-ZnOFe achieved higher conversion yields of quercetin, morin and fisetin (73, 85 and 72% respectively). Notably, CaLB-ZnOFe displayed significantly lower conversion yields for morin compared with TLL-ZnOFe. Molecular docking analysis was used to elucidate this discrepancy, and it was revealed that the position of the hydroxyl groups of the B ring on morin introduced hindrances on the active site of CaLB. Finally, selected flavonoid esters showed significantly higher antimicrobial activity compared with the original compound. This work indicated that these lipase-based nanobiocatalysts can be successfully applied to produce lipophilic derivatives of aglycon flavonoids with improved antimicrobial activity.

Abstract
Carbohydrate-based surfactants are amphiphilic compounds containing hydrophilic moieties linked to hydrophobic aglycones. More specifically, carbohydrate esters are biosourced and biocompatible surfactants derived from inexpensive renewable raw materials (sugars and fatty acids). Their unique properties allow them to be used in various areas, such as the cosmetic, food, and medicine industries. These multi-applications have created a worldwide market for biobased surfactants and consequently expectations for their production. Biobased surfactants can be obtained from various processes, such as chemical synthesis or microorganism culture and surfactant purification. In accordance with the need for more sustainable and greener processes, the synthesis of these molecules by enzymatic pathways is an opportunity. This work presents a state-of-the-art lipase action mode, with a focus on the active sites of these proteins, and then on four essential parameters for optimizing the reaction: type of lipase, reaction medium, temperature, and ratio of substrates. Finally, this review discusses the latest trends and recent developments, showing the unlimited potential for optimization of such enzymatic syntheses.

Abstract
An excellent oil-water interface is one of the prerequisites for effective lipase catalysis. Therefore, this study aimed to improve lipase activity in terms of catalytic interface optimization. A novel approach for constructing oil-water interfaces was proposed. The structural similarity and the hydrophilic differences between polyvinyl pyrrolidone gel-fiber membranes (GFMs) and poly(lauryl methacrylate) (PLMA) organogel inspired us to hybridize the two to form PVP/PLMA hybrid gel-fiber membranes (HGFMs) based on electrospinning and gelation. The prepared PVP/PLMA-HGFMs were capable of being adopted as novel carriers for lipase catalysis due to their ability to swell both in the aqueous phase (swelling ratio = 187.5%) and the organic phase (swelling ratio = 40.5%). Additionally, Confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) results showed that abundant network pores inside the carriers enabled numerous effective microscopic oil-water interfaces. The catalytic activity of Burkholderia cepacia lipase (BCL) in PVP/PLMA-HGFMs ranged between 1.21 and 8.70 times that of the control ("oil-up/water-down" system) under different experimental conditions. Meanwhile, PVP/PLMA-HGFMs increased lipase activity by about eight times at -20 °C and had good application characteristics at extreme pH conditions.

Abstract
Vitamin E (VE) is a natural antioxidant which is widely used in the food fields, while the shortcomings of easy oxidative inactivation and poor water solubility limit its application. Vitamin E esters' (VEEs) derivatives, such as vitamin E acetate (VEA), are more stable and easier to be absorbed while have similar biological activities and physiological functions compared with VE. In this systematic review, the digestion, absorption and physiological function of VEEs were summarized. To promote their further industrial applications, the synthesis strategies of VEEs were also summarized in-depth. In particular, as a new generation of green solvents, ionic liquids (ILs) have been widely used in enzymatic reactions due to the stabilization and activation of enzymes. Their applications in enzymatic synthesis of VEEs were summarized and discussed. Finally, several future perspectives for developing more efficiency strategies of VEEs synthesis, such as enzyme engineering and design of novel ILs, were also discussed.

Abstract
Polylactic acid (PLA) is a biodegradable alternative to petroleum-based polymers for improving environmental sustainability of our society. However, the limited degradation rate and environmental conditions for PLA-based products remain significant challenges for their broader use in various applications. While Proteinase K (Pro K) from Tritirachium album has been demonstrated to efficiently degrade PLA, its autocatalytic degradation function in composite films is underexplored. Here, this work reports a strategy that encapsulates Pro K with zeolitic imidazole framework-8 (ZIF-8) in situ, combining a PLA matrix to prepare Pro K@ZIF-8/PLA films through solvent casting. The method is scalable and commercially viable, and the pH and thermal stability of the Pro K enzyme are significantly enhanced after immobilization. The enzyme can retain 61.8% of its initial activity after annealing at 160 °C for 10 min, allowing for its use in the melt processing of filler-containing PLA films. As a result, Pro K@ZIF-8/PLA films in buffer solutions exhibit stable degradation rates, which can be extended to PLA decomposition in acidic environments. Moreover, the enzyme in Pro K@ZIF-8/PLA films prepared by thermoforming remains active sufficiently to degrade PLA with a weight loss of up to 15% in 2 weeks. These results further indicate that our strategy can be broadly applicable for melt processing and controlled degradation of PLA materials with immobilized enzymes, allowing for its transformative impact for promoting environmental sustainability.

Enhancing the Hydrolytic Activity of a Lipase towards Larger Triglycerides through Lid Domain Engineering. Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:13768. [PMID: 37762071 PMCID: PMC10530837 DOI: 10.3390/ijms241813768] [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: 08/03/2023] [Revised: 08/23/2023] [Accepted: 09/01/2023] [Indexed: 09/29/2023] Open
Abstract
Lipases have valuable potential for industrial use, particularly those mostly active against water-insoluble substrates, such as triglycerides composed of long-carbon chain fatty acids. However, in most cases, engineered variants often need to be constructed to achieve optimal performance for such substrates. Protein engineering techniques have been reported as strategies for improving lipase characteristics by introducing specific mutations in the cap domain of esterases or in the lid domain of lipases or through lid domain swapping. Here, we improved the lipase activity of a lipase (WP_075743487.1, or LipMRD) retrieved from the Marine Metagenomics MarRef Database and assigned to the Actinoalloteichus genus. The improvement was achieved through site-directed mutagenesis and by substituting its lid domain (FRGTEITQIKDWLTDA) with that of Rhizopus delemar lipase (previously R. oryzae; UniProt accession number, I1BGQ3) (FRGTNSFRSAITDIVF). The results demonstrated that the redesigned mutants gain activity against bulkier triglycerides, such as glyceryl tridecanoate and tridodecanoate, olive oil, coconut oil, and palm oil. Residue W89 (LipMRD numbering) appears to be key to the increase in lipase activity, an increase that was also achieved with lid swapping. This study reinforces the importance of the lid domains and their amino acid compositions in determining the substrate specificity of lipases, but the generalization of the lid domain swapping between lipases or the introduction of specific mutations in the lid domain to improve lipase activity may require further investigation.

Abstract
Arbutin, salidroside, polydatin, and phlorizin are typically natural bioactive phenolic glycosides. To improve the liposolubility and bioavailability, highly liposoluble derivatives including 6'-O-lauryl arbutin, 6'-O-lauryl salidroside, 6″-O-lauryl polydatin, and 6″-O-lauryl phlorizin were efficiently synthesized by enzymatic acylation in a green solvent 2-MeTHF. Their reaction conversions reached 84.4, 99.5, 99.8, and 89.1%, respectively, when catalyzed by Lipozyme 435 at 20 mg/mL at 50 °C. As expected, the derivatives had high log P (1.66-2.37) and retained good antioxidant activity, making them potential alternatives to butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) and tert-butyl-hydroquinone (TBHQ) in lipid systems. Then, the intestinal permeability characteristics and metabolism of phenolic glycosides and their derivatives were investigated based on Caco-2 monolayers. The permeability of polydatin and phlorizin was mainly through active transport, but that of arbutin and salidroside involved both passive diffusion and active uptake. The acylated derivatives suffered from severe CES-mediated hydrolysis but exhibited a larger transported amount than phenolic glycosides.

Abstract
Interest in the synthesis and application of thymol esters has increased in recent years due to the numerous applications associated with its biological activities. The enzymatic synthesis of thymol octanoate by esterification of thymol and octanoic acid was explored using soluble lipases and immobilized lipase biocatalysts in solvent-free systems. Candida antarctica lipase B in its soluble form was the most active biocatalyst for this reaction. Different thymol and lipase feeding strategies were evaluated to maximize thymol octanoate production. The results suggest that there could be lipase inhibition by the ester product of the reaction. In this way, the optimal reaction condition was given using a thymol/acid molar ratio of 1:4 mol/mol. Under these conditions the conversion of thymol was close to 94% and the lipase maintained more than 90% of its initial activity after the reaction, showing the potential of the enzyme to be used in successive reaction cycles.

Abstract
Amide bond is often seen in value-added nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compounds, which can present promising chemical, biological, and pharmaceutical significance. However, current synthesis methods in the preparation of amide-containing N-heterocyclic compounds have low specificity (large amount of by-products) and efficiency. In this study, we focused on reviewing the feasible enzymes (nitrogen acetyltransferase, carboxylic acid reductase, lipase, and cutinase) for the amidation of N-heterocyclic compounds; summarizing their advantages and weakness in the specific applications; and further predicting candidate enzymes through in silico structure-functional analysis. For future prospects, current enzymes demand further engineering and improving for practical industrial applications and more enzymatic tools need to be explored and developed for a broader range of N-heterocyclic substrates.

Abstract
Rhizopus oryzae lipase (ROL) is one of the most important enzymes used in the food, biofuel, and pharmaceutical industries. However, the highly demanding conditions of industrial processes can reduce its stability and activity. To seek a feasible method to improve both the catalytic activity and the thermostability of this lipase, first, the structure of ROL was divided into catalytic and noncatalytic regions by identifying critical amino acids in the crevice-like binding pocket. Second, a mutant screening library aimed at improvement of ROL catalytic performance by virtual saturation mutagenesis of residues in the catalytic region was constructed based on Rosetta's Cartesian_ddg protocol. A double mutant, E265V/S267W (with an E-to-V change at residue 265 and an S-to-W change at residue 267), with markedly improved catalytic activity toward diverse chain-length fatty acid esters was identified. Then, computational design of disulfide bonds was conducted for the noncatalytic amino acids of E265V/S267W, and two potential disulfide bonds, S61C-S115C and E190C-E238C, were identified as candidates. Experimental data validated that the variant E265V/S267W/S61C-S115C/E190C-E238C had superior stability, with an increase of 8.5°C in the melting temperature and a half-life of 31.7 min at 60°C, 4.2-fold longer than that of the wild-type enzyme. Moreover, the variant improved the lipase activity toward five 4-nitrophenyl esters by 1.5 to 3.8 times, exhibiting a potential to modify the catalytic efficiency. IMPORTANCE Rhizopus oryzae lipase (ROL) is very attractive in biotechnology and industry as a safe and environmentally friendly biocatalyst. Functional expression of ROL in Escherichia coli facilitates effective high-throughput screening for positive variants. This work highlights a method to improve both selectivity and thermostability based on a combination of virtual saturation mutagenesis in the substrate pocket and disulfide bond prediction in the noncatalytic region. Using the method, ROL thermostability and activity to diverse 4-nitrophenyl esters could be substantially improved. The strategy of rational introduction of multiple mutations in different functional domains of the enzyme is a great prospect in the modification of biocatalysts.

Abstract
Contrary to other solid catalysts, enzymes facilitate more sophisticated chemical reactions because most enzymes specifically interact with substrates and release selective products. Lipases (triacylglycerol hydrolase, EC 3.1.1.3), which can catalyze the cleavage and formation of various acyl compounds, are one of the best examples of enzymes with a unique substrate selectivity. There are already several commercialized lipases that have become important tools for various lipid-related studies, although there is still a need to discover novel lipases with unique substrate selectivity to facilitate more innovative reactions in human applications such as household care, cosmetics, foods, and pharmaceuticals. In this mini-review, we focus on concisely demonstrating not only the general information of lipases but also their substate selectivities: typoselectivity, regioselectivity, and stereoselectivity. We highlight the essential studies on selective lipases in terms of enzymology. Furthermore, we introduce several examples of analysis methodology and experimental requirements to determine each selectivity of lipases. This work would stress the importance of integrating our understanding of lipase chemistry to make further advances in the relevant fields.

Abstract
Processes involving lipases in obtaining active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) are crucial to increase the sustainability of the industry. Despite their lower production cost, microbial lipases are striking for their versatile catalyzing reactions beyond their physiological role. In the context of taking advantage of microbial lipases in reactions for the synthesis of API building blocks, this review focuses on: (i) the structural origins of the catalytic properties of microbial lipases, including the results of techniques such as single particle monitoring (SPT) and the description of its selectivity beyond the Kazlauskas rule as the "Mirror-Image Packing" or the "Key Region(s) rule influencing enantioselectivity" (KRIE); (ii) immobilization methods given the conferred operative advantages in industrial applications and their modulating capacity of lipase properties; and (iii) a comprehensive description of microbial lipases use as a conventional or promiscuous catalyst in key reactions in the organic synthesis (Knoevenagel condensation, Morita-Baylis-Hillman (MBH) reactions, Markovnikov additions, Baeyer-Villiger oxidation, racemization, among others). Finally, this review will also focus on a research perspective necessary to increase microbial lipases application development towards a greener industry.

Abstract
One of the indispensable applications of lipases in modification of oils and fats is the possibility to tailor the fatty acid content of triacylglycerols (TAGs), to meet specific requirements from various applications in food, nutrition, and cosmetic industries. Oleic acid (C18:1) and stearic acid (C18:0) are two common long fatty acids in the side chain of triglycerides in plant fats and oils that have similar chemical composition and structures, except for an unsaturated bond between C9 and C10 in oleic acid. Two lipases from Rhizomucor miehei (RML) and Rhizopus oryzae (ROL), show activity in reactions involving oleate and stearate, and share high sequence and structural identity. In this research, the preference for one of these two similar fatty acid side chains was investigated for the two lipases and was related to the respective enzyme structure. From transesterification reactions with 1:1 (molar ratio) mixed ethyl stearate (ES) and ethyl oleate (EO), both RML and ROL showed a higher activity towards EO than ES, but RML showed around 10% higher preference for ES compared with ROL. In silico results showed that stearate has a less stable interaction with the substrate binding crevice in both RML and ROL and higher tendency to freely move out of the substrate binding region, compared with oleate whose structure is more rigid due to the existence of the double bond. However, Trp88 from RML which is an Ala at the identical position in ROL shows a significant stabilization effect in the substrate interaction in RML, especially with stearate as a ligand.

Abstract
Lipases are versatile enzymes widely used in the pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and food industries. They are green biocatalysts with a high potential for industrial use compared to traditional chemical methods. In recent years, lipases have been used to synthesize a wide variety of molecules of industrial interest, and extraordinary results have been reported. In this sense, this review describes the important role of lipases in the synthesis of phytosterol esters, which have attracted the scientific community’s attention due to their beneficial effects on health. A systematic search for articles and patents published in the last 20 years with the terms “phytosterol AND esters AND lipase” was carried out using the Scopus, Web of Science, Scielo, and Google Scholar databases, and the results showed that Candida rugosa lipases are the most relevant biocatalysts for the production of phytosterol esters, being used in more than 50% of the studies. The optimal temperature and time for the enzymatic synthesis of phytosterol esters mainly ranged from 30 to 101 °C and from 1 to 72 h. The esterification yield was greater than 90% for most analyzed studies. Therefore, this manuscript presents the new technological approaches and the gaps that need to be filled by future studies so that the enzymatic synthesis of phytosterol esters is widely developed.

Abstract
The conversion of flavonoid glycosides and their analogs to their lipophilic ester derivatives was developed by nanobiocatalysts from immobilizing Thermomyces lanuginosus lipase (TLL) on polydopamine-functionalized magnetic Fe3O4 nanoparticles (Fe3O4-PDA-TLL). The behavior investigation revealed that Fe3O4-PDA-TLL exhibits a preference for long chain length fatty acids (i.e., C10 to C14) with higher reaction rates of 12.6-13.9 mM/h. Regarding the substrate specificity, Fe3O4-PDA-TLL showed good substrate spectrum and favorably functionalized the primary OH groups, suggesting that the steric hindrances impeded the secondary or phenolic hydroxyl groups of substrates into the bonding site of the active region of TLL to afford the product.

Abstract
Lip11 gene from oleaginous yeast Yarrowia lipolytica MSR80 was recombinantly expressed in Pichia pastoris X33. Native secretion signal present in its sequence resulted in 92 % expression in comparison to α-secretion factor which resulted to 900 U/L in the extracellular broth. Catalytic triad in Lip11, like most lipases, was formed by serine, histidine, and aspartate residues. While point mutation disrupting putative glycosylation site (N389) present towards the C-terminus ruinously effected its stability and catalytic activity, disruption of the first putative glycosylation site (N17) located towards the N-terminus presented interesting insights. Mutation resulted in a variant N1 exhibiting higher thermal and acid stability; a t1/2 of 198 min was obtained at 50 °C and it retained almost 80 % activity following incubation at pH 3. Catalytic efficiency was improved by 2.7 fold and a 10 °C rise in temperature optima was accompanied by higher relative activity in acidic range. Thermal stability corresponded to convoying structural modifications in the tertiary structure, findings of fluorescence spectroscopy suggested. Thermal fluorescence studies revealed a Tm of 65 °C for both Lip11 and N1 and λmax of Lip11 exhibited a blue shift upon refolding while no shift in the λmax of N1 was observed. A resilient tertiary structure which could fold back to its native confirmation upon thermal denaturation and increase in surface-exposed hydrophobic residues as revealed by ANS binding assay summed up to thermal stability of N1. Furthermore, circular dichroism data disclosed an alternate ratio of alpha-helices and beta-sheets; respective values changed from 36 % and 8%-27% and 19 %. Following mutation, substrate specificity remained unaffected and similar to native protein, N1 showed activation in presence of organic solvents and most divalent cations.

Abstract
Mining of phospholipase D (PLD) with altered acyl group recognition except its head group specificity is also useful in terms of specific acyl size phospholipid production and as diagnostic reagents for quantifying specific phospholipid species. Microbial PLDs from Actinomycetes, especially Streptomyces, best fit this process requirements. In the present studies, a new PLD from marine Streptomyces klenkii (SkPLD) was purified and biochemically characterized. The optimal reaction temperature and pH of SkPLD were determined to be 60 °C and 8.0, respectively. Kinetic analysis showed that SkPLD had the relatively high catalytic efficiency toward phosphatidylcholines (PCs) with medium acyl chain length, especially 12:0/12:0-PC (67.13 S-1 mM-1), but lower catalytic efficiency toward PCs with long acyl chain (>16 fatty acids). Molecular docking results indicated that the different catalytic efficiency was related to the increased steric hindrance of long acyl-chains in the substrate-binding pockets and differences in hydrogen-bond interactions between the acyl chains and substrate-binding pockets. The enzyme displayed suitable transphosphatidylation activity and the reaction process showed 26.18% yield with L-serine and soybean PC as substrates. Present study not only enriched the PLD enzyme library but also provide guidance for the further mining of PLDs with special phospholipids recognition properties.

Supplementation of Bile Acids and Lipase in Broiler Diets for Better Nutrient Utilization and Performance: Potential Effects and Future Implications – A Review. ANNALS OF ANIMAL SCIENCE 2021.

Abstract
Abstract
Bile acids are used for better emulsification, digestion and absorption of dietary fat in chicken, especially in early life. Similarly, exogenous lipases have also been used for the improvement of physiological limitation of the chicken digestive system. Owing to potential of both bile acids and lipases, their use has been increased in recent years, for better emulsification of dietary fat and improvement of growth performance in broilers. In the past, pancreatic lipases were used for supplementation, but recently, microbial lipase is getting attention in poultry industry as a hydrolysis catalyst. Bile acids strengthen the defence mechanism of body against bacterial endotoxins and also play a key role in lipid regulation and sugar metabolism as signaling molecules. It has been demonstrated that bile acids and lipases may improve feed efficiency by enhancing digestive enzyme activity and ultimately leading to better fat digestion and absorption. Wide supplemental range of bile acids (0.004% to 0.25%) and lipases (0.01% to 0.1%) has been used in broiler diets for improvement of fat digestibility and their performance. Combinations of different bile acids have shown more potential to improve feed efficiency (by 7.14%) even at low (0.008%) levels as compared to any individual bile acid. Lipases at a lower level of 0.03% have exhibited more promising potential to improve fat digestibility and feed efficiency. However, contradicting results have been published in literature, which needs further investigations to elucidate various nutritional aspects of bile acids and lipase supplementation in broiler diet. This review focuses on providing insight on the mechanism of action and potential application of bile acids and lipases in broiler diets. Moreover, future implications of these additives in poultry nutrition for enhancing nutrient utilization and absorption are also discussed.

Abstract
Vitamin E is easily oxidized by light, air, oxidizing agents and heat, limiting its application in many ways. Compared to vitamin E, vitamin E ester derivatives exhibit improved stability and a stronger antioxidant capacity, and even gain new biological functions. In recent years, enzymatic synthesis of vitamin E ester derivatives has received increasing attention due to its environmental friendliness, high catalytic efficiency, and inherent selectivity. This paper reviews the related progress of lipase-mediated preparation of vitamin E ester derivatives. The function of different vitamin E ester derivatives, and the main factors influencing the enzymatic acylation process, including enzyme species, acyl donor and acceptor, reaction media and water activity, are summarized in this paper. Finally, the perspective of lipase-catalyzed synthesis of vitamin E ester derivatives is also discussed.

Abstract
Glycolipids, carbohydrate fatty esters or sugar esters are amphiphilic molecules containing hydrophilic groups bonded to hydrophobic parent structures. Recently, glycolipids have shown their antimicrobial and antitumor capacities. Their surface activity properties have applications in the food, pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries. Sugar esters' building blocks can be obtained from natural resources and/or be transformed by biochemical pathways for uses as surfactants. Biosurfactants are non-ionic, nontoxic, biodegradable, tasteless, and odourless. The biocatalysis of these molecules involves sustainable, green, and safer methods. The advantages of producing biosurfactants from enzymatic catalysis are the energy economy, high selectivity, production of natural products, reduction of the use of fossil-based solvents and chloride compounds. This review presents the most recent studies concerning the evaluation of the impact of the main parameters and their levels influencing the enzymatic synthesis of glycolipids. Various enzyme catalysed synthetic methods were described. The parameters studied were temperature, reaction time, solvent system, type of biocatalyst, substrates molar ratio proportion and the nature of substrates. This review discusses the influence of different biocatalysts in the conversions of glycolipids; The reactivity from mono to polysaccharides and their interaction with fatty acids of different carbon chain lengths in the presence of specific enzymes; The effect of the solvent polarity, the use of multiple solvents, ionic liquids, supercritical CO2, and solvent-free media in sugar ester conversions; And the optimization of temperature and reaction time in different enzymatic systems.

Abstract
Microalgae have been poorly investigated for new-lipolytic enzymes of biotechnological interest. In silico study combining analysis of sequences homologies and bioinformatic tools allowed the identification and preliminary characterization of 14 putative lipases expressed by Chlorella vulagaris. These proteins have different molecular weights, subcellular localizations, low instability index range and at least 40% of sequence identity with other microalgal lipases. Sequence comparison indicated that the catalytic triad corresponded to residues Ser, Asp and His, with the nucleophilic residue Ser positioned within the consensus GXSXG pentapeptide. 3D models were generated using different approaches and templates and demonstrated that these putative enzymes share a similar core with common α/β hydrolases fold belonging to family 3 lipases and class GX. Six lipases were predicted to have a transmembrane domain and a lysosomal acid lipase was identified. A similar mammalian enzyme plays an important role in breaking down cholesteryl esters and triglycerides and its deficiency causes serious digestive problems in human. More structural insight would provide important information on the enzyme characteristics.

Abstract
Enzymatic biodiesel production has been at the forefront of biofuels research in recent decades because of the significant environmental advantages it offers, while having the potential to be as effective as conventional chemically catalyzed biodiesel production. However, the higher capital cost, longer reaction time, and sensitivity of enzyme processes have restricted their widespread industrial adoption so far. It is also posited that the lack of research to bring the biodiesel product into final specification has scuppered industrial confidence in the viability of the enzymatic process. Furthermore, the vast majority of literature has focused on the development of immobilized enzyme processes, which seem too costly (and risky) to be used industrially. There has been little focus on liquid lipase formulations such as the Eversa Transform 2.0, which is in fact already used commercially for triglyceride transesterification. It is the objective of this review to highlight new research that focuses on bringing enzymatically produced biodiesel into specification via a liquid lipase polishing process, and the process considerations that come with it.

Abstract
Esters from branched alcohols and dicarboxylic linear acids are widely used as lube bases due to their good performance at low temperatures. This work proposes a new process to synthesize bis(2-ethylbutyl) adipate and bis(2-ethylbutyl) sebacate by using the lipase-based catalyst Novozym® 435 in a solvent-free system. Different reaction strategies have been tested in order to minimize 2-ethyl-1-butanol losses due to its evaporation and optimum operation conditions have been determined: 2.5 % of biocatalyst, 50 °C and a molar excess of alcohol of 15 % for the adipic diester and of 25 % for the sebacic one. It has also been proven that the immobilized enzyme can be reused in seven successive reaction cycles, achieving high yields without an appreciable reduction of activity. This biocatalytic pathway is a promising basis for the development of a more sustainable large scale process for obtaining biodegradable lubricants, as it is pointed out by productivity, economic and green metrics calculations.

Abstract
Objective The aim of the study was to evaluate the possibility of using Y. lipolytica biomass as a whole-cell catalyst in the synthesis of lipophilic antioxidants, with the example of esterification of five phenolic acids with 1-butanol. Results Freeze-dried Y. lipolytica biomass was successfully applied as a biocatalyst in the synthesis of esters of phenylpropanoic acid derivatives with 75–98% conversion. However, in the case of phenylacetic acid derivatives, results below 10% were obtained. The biological activity of phenolic acid esters was strongly associated with their chemical structures. Butyl 3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)propanoate showed an IC50 value of 19 mg/ml (95 mM) and TEAC value of 0.427. Among the compounds tested, butyl esters of 3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)propanoic and 4-hydroxyphenylacetic acids exhibited the highest antifungal activity. Conclusions Lipophilization of phenolic acids achieved by enzymatic esterification creates prospects for using these compounds as food additives with antioxidant properties in lipid-rich food matrices.

Abstract
Development of new non-toxic antioxidants with diverse hydrophobic properties is important due to growing concerns about the toxicity of artificial oil-soluble antioxidants, the comparatively low effectiveness of natural options, and the complex role hydrophobicity plays in antioxidant effectiveness. Using caffeic acid, a naturally occurring phenolic acid with potent antioxidant activity, a range of glyceryl caffeate esters (decanoate and palmitate) were prepared using lipase-catalysed esterification reactions. Glyceryl-1-caffeate (GC) was prepared from ethyl caffeate and glycerol (acting as both the solvent and the substrate), catalysed by immobilised Candida Antarctica lipase B (Novozym-435) at 80 °C under vacuum. Esterification of GC with decanoic acid using immobilised Thermomyces lanuginosus lipase (TLIM) or Novozym-435 was found to be selective towards mono-acylated or di-acylated products, respectively. The reaction was performed in an unconventional solvent, propylene carbonate (PC), which has many of the attributes of a green solvent. Product conversions in PC were comparable to the best performing conventional solvents. In contrast to conventional volatile solvents, the low volatility of PC allowed the reaction to be performed under vacuum, without the need for molecular sieves for removal of water produced during the reaction. Diisopropyl ether was effective at extracting the more lipophilic products from PC. Both the lipase (Novozym-435) and PC were reused four times with only a small loss in conversion efficiency. Glyceryl caffeate esters performed much better than α-tocopherol at protecting bulk tuna oil from oxidation (analysed using Rancimat). A comparison of glyceryl caffeate esters (decanoate/palmitate and mono-/di-acylated) showed that their antioxidant effectiveness in bulk tuna oil was not affected by chain-length, but compounds containing only one fatty ester were slightly more effective than those containing two fatty esters.

Abstract
Lipase from Candida rugosa (CrL) was immobilised on highly hydrophobic, octadecyl methacrylate resin (Lifetech™ ECR8806M) via interfacial adsorption. The aim was to produce a stable biocatalyst suitable for use in a range of lipid-modifying reactions. Immobilisation was carried out in 10 mM phosphate buffer (pH 6.0) over 24 h at 21 °C. High protein binding of 58.7 ± 4.9 mg/g dry support accounted for ∼53 % of the applied protein. The activity recovery against tributyrin was 74.0 ± 1.1 %. The specific activity of immobilised CrL against tributyrin was considerably higher than that of Novozym® 435, at 1.79 ± 0.05 and 1.08 ± 0.04 U/mg bound protein, respectively. Incubation with high concentrations (10 % w/v) of both Triton X-100 and SDS resulted in only a small reduction in immobilised lipase activity. Solvent-free synthesis of glycerides by the FFA-saturated immobilised CrL was successful over 6 reaction cycles, with no apparent loss of activity.

Abstract
Lipase-catalyzed synthesis of xylo-oligosaccharides esters from pure xylobiose, xylotriose and xylotetraose in the presence of vinyl laurate was investigated. The influence of different experimental parameters such as the loading of lipase, the reaction duration or the use of a co-solvent was studied and the reaction conditions were optimized with xylobiose. Under the best conditions, a regioselective esterification occurred to yield a monoester with the acyl chain at the OH-4 of the xylose unit at the non-reducing end. Surface-active properties of these pure xylo-oligosaccharides fatty esters have been evaluated. They display interesting surfactant activities that differ according to the degree of polymerization (DP) of the glycone moiety.

Abstract
Microbial lipases represent one of the most important groups of biotechnological biocatalysts. However, the high-level production of lipases requires an understanding of the molecular mechanisms of gene expression, folding, and secretion processes. Stable, selective, and productive lipase is essential for modern chemical industries, as most lipases cannot work in different process conditions. However, the screening and isolation of a new lipase with desired and specific properties would be time consuming, and costly, so researchers typically modify an available lipase with a certain potential for minimizing cost. Improving enzyme properties is associated with altering the enzymatic structure by changing one or several amino acids in the protein sequence. This review detailed the main sources, classification, structural properties, and mutagenic approaches, such as rational design (site direct mutagenesis, iterative saturation mutagenesis) and direct evolution (error prone PCR, DNA shuffling), for achieving modification goals. Here, both techniques were reviewed, with different results for lipase engineering, with a particular focus on improving or changing lipase specificity. Changing the amino acid sequences of the binding pocket or lid region of the lipase led to remarkable enzyme substrate specificity and enantioselectivity improvement. Site-directed mutagenesis is one of the appropriate methods to alter the enzyme sequence, as compared to random mutagenesis, such as error-prone PCR. This contribution has summarized and evaluated several experimental studies on modifying the substrate specificity of lipases.

Abstract
Lipases are important hydrolytic enzymes used in a spectrum of technological applications, such as the pharmaceutical and detergent industries. Because of their versatile nature and ability to accept a broad range of substrates, they have been extensively used for biotechnological and industrial applications. Current assays to measure lipase activity primarily rely on low-sensitivity measurements of pH variations or visible changes of material properties, like hydration, and often require high amounts of proteins. Fluorescent readouts, on the other hand, offer high contrast and even single-molecule sensitivity, albeit they are reliant on fluorogenic substrates that structurally resemble the native ones. Here we present a method that combines the highly sensitive readout of fluorescent techniques while reporting enzymatic lipase function on native substrates. The method relies on embedding the environmentally sensitive fluorescent dye pHrodo and native substrates into the bilayer of liposomes. The charged products of the enzymatic hydrolysis alter the local membrane environment and thus the fluorescence intensity of pHrodo. The fluorescence can be accurately quantified and directly assigned to product formation and thus enzymatic activity. We illustrated the capacity of the assay to report the function of diverse lipases and phospholipases both in a microplate setup and at the single-particle level on individual nanoscale liposomes using total internal reflection fluorescence (TIRF). The parallelized sensitive readout of microscopy combined with the inherent polydispersity in sizes of liposomes allowed us to screen the effect of membrane curvature on lipase function and identify how mutations in the lid region control the membrane curvature-dependent activity. We anticipate this methodology to be applicable for sensitive activity readouts for a spectrum of enzymes where the product of the enzymatic reaction is charged.

Abstract
Cello-oligosaccharide has drawn an increasing attention as the nutritional ingredients of dietary supplements, whose quality is affected by the concentration of monosaccharide. In the present study, an effective process was developed for the simultaneous production of cello-oligosaccharide and glucose mono-decanoate from lignocellulose by enzymatic esterification. During the process, the excessive glucose in cello-oligosaccharide was converted into glucose mono-decanoate, which is a well-known biodegradable nonionic surfactant. The filter paper was initially used as the model to investigate the feasibility of the process, in which the purity of resultant cello-oligosaccharide was increased from 33.3% to 74.3%, simultaneously producing glucose mono-decanoate with a purity of 92.3%. Further verification of 3 kinds of lignocelluloses (switchgrass, cornstalk, and reed) also indicated a good performance of the process. The present process provided an effective strategy to increase the purity of resultant cello-oligosaccharide with the simultaneous production of high value-added products of sugar monoester.

Abstract
Mycobacteriophages possess different sets of lytic enzymes for disruption of the complex cell envelope of the mycobacteria host cells and release of the viral progeny. Lysin B (LysB) enzymes are mycolylarabinogalactan esterases that cleave the ester bond between the arabinogalactan and mycolic acids in the mycolylarabinogalactan-peptidoglycan (mAGP) complex in the cell envelope of mycobacteria. In the present study, four LysB enzymes were produced recombinantly and characterized with respect to their enzymatic and antibacterial activities. Examination of the kinetic parameters for the hydrolysis of para-nitrophenyl ester substrates, shows LysB-His6 enzymes to be active against a range of substrates (C4–C16), with a catalytic preference towards p-nitrophenyl laurate (C12). With p-nitrophenyl butyrate as substrate, LysB-His6 enzymes showed highest activity at 37 °C. LysB-His6 enzymes also hydrolyzed different Tween substrates with highest activity against Tween 20 and 80. Metal ions like Ca2+ and Mn2+ enhanced the enzymatic activity of LysB-His6 enzymes, while transition metal ions like Zn2+ and Cu2+ inhibited the enzymatic activity. The mycolylarabinogalactan esterase activity of LysB-His6 enzymes against mAGP complex was confirmed by LC-MS. LysB-His6 enzymes showed marginal antibacterial activity when tested alone against Mycobacterium smegmatis, however a synergetic activity was noticed when combined with outer membrane permealizers. These results confirm that LysB enzymes are lipolytic enzymes with potential application as antimycobacterials.
