Abstract
Plant cell wall plays important roles in the regulation of plant growth/development and affects the quality of plant-derived food and industrial materials. On the other hand, genetic variability of cell wall structure within a plant species has not been well understood. Here we show that the endosperm cell walls, including both starchy endosperm and aleurone layer, of rice grains with various genetic backgrounds are clearly classified into two groups depending on the presence/absence of β-1,4-linked glucomannan. All-or-none distribution of the glucomannan accumulation among rice varieties is very different from the varietal differences of arabinoxylan content in wheat and barley, which showed continuous distributions. Immunoelectron microscopic observation suggested that the glucomannan was synthesized in the early stage of endosperm development, but the synthesis was down-regulated during the secondary thickening process associated with the differentiation of aleurone layer. Significant amount of glucomannan in the cell walls of the glucomannan-positive varieties, i.e., 10% or more of the starchy endosperm cell walls, and its close association with the cellulose microfibril suggested possible effects on the physicochemical/biochemical properties of these cell walls. Comparative genomic analysis indicated the presence of striking differences between OsCslA12 genes of glucomannan-positive and negative rice varieties, Kitaake and Nipponbare, which seems to explain the all-or-none glucomannan cell wall trait in the rice varieties. Identification of the gene responsible for the glucomannan accumulation could lead the way to clarify the effect of the accumulation of glucomannan on the agronomic traits of rice by using genetic approaches.

Appl Microbiol Biotechnol 2021; 105:1943-1952. [PMID: 33564921 DOI: 10.1007/s00253-021-11098-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/08/2020] [Revised: 12/14/2020] [Accepted: 01/03/2021] [Indexed: 11/26/2022]
Abstract
Although many xylanases have been studied, many of the characteristics of xylanases toward branches in xylan remain unclear. In this study, the substrate specificity of a GH11 xylanase from Streptomyces olivaceoviridis E-86 (SoXyn11B) was elucidated based on its three-dimensional structure. Subsite mapping suggests that SoXyn11B has seven subsites (four subsites on the - side and three subsites on the + side), and it is one longer than the GH10 xylanase from S. olivaceoviridis (SoXyn10A). SoXyn11B has no affinity for the subsites at either end of the scissile glycosidic bond, and the sugar-binding energy at subsite - 2 was the highest, followed by subsite + 2. These properties were very similar to those of SoXyn10A. In contrast, SoXyn11B produced different branched oligosaccharides from bagasse compared with those of SoXyn10A. These branched oligosaccharides were identified as O-β-D-xylopyranosyl-(1→4)-[O-α-L-arabinofuranosyl-(1→3)]-O-β-D-xylopyranosyl-(1→4)-β-D-xylopyranosyl-(1→4)-β-D-xylopyranose (Ara3Xyl4) and O-β-D-xylopyranosyl-(1→4)-[O-4-O-methyl-α-D-glucuronopyranosyl-(l→2)]-β-D-xylopyranosyl-(1→4)-β-D-xylopyranosyl-(1→4)-β-D-xylopyranose (MeGlcA3Xyl4) by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) and confirmed by crystal structure analysis of SoXyn11B in complex with these branched xylooligosaccharides. SoXyn11B has a β-jerryroll fold structure, and the catalytic cleft is located on the inner β-sheet of the fold. The ligand-binding structures revealed seven subsites of SoXyn11B. The 2- and 3-hydroxy groups of xylose at the subsites + 3, + 2, and - 3 face outwards, and an arabinose or a glucuronic acid side chain can be linked to these positions. These subsite structures appear to cause the limited substrate specificity of SoXyn11B for branched xylooligosaccharides. KEY POINTS: • Crystal structure of family 11 β-xylanase from Streptomyces olivaceoviridis was determined. • Topology of substrate-binding cleft of family 11 β-xylanase from Streptomyces olivaceoviridis was characterized. • Mode of action of family 11 β-xylanase from Streptomyces olivaceoviridis for substitutions in xylan was elucidated.

Abstract
We functionally characterized the GH10 xylanase (SoXyn10A) and the GH11 xylanase (SoXyn11B) derived from the actinomycete Streptomyces olivaceoviridis E-86. Each enzyme exhibited differences in the produced reducing power upon degradation of xylan substrates. SoXyn10A produced higher reducing power than SoXyn11B. Gel filtration of the hydrolysates generated by both enzymes revealed that the original substrate was completely decomposed. Enzyme mixtures of SoXyn10A and SoXyn11B produced the same level of reducing power as SoXyn10A alone. These observations were in good agreement with the composition of the hydrolysis products. The hydrolysis products derived from the incubation of soluble birchwood xylan with a mixture of SoXyn10A and SoXyn11B produced the same products as SoXyn10A alone with similar compositions. Furthermore, the addition of SoXyn10A following SoXyn11B-mediated digestion of xylan produced the same products as SoXyn10A alone with similar compositions. Thus, it was hypothesized that SoXyn10A could degrade xylans to a smaller size than SoXyn11B. In contrast to the soluble xylans as the substrate, the produced reducing power generated by both enzymes was not significantly different when pretreated milled bagasses were used as substrates. Quantification of the pentose content in the milled bagasse residues after the enzyme digestions revealed that SoXyn11B hydrolyzed xylans in pretreated milled bagasses much more efficiently than SoXyn10A. These data suggested that the GH10 xylanases can degrade soluble xylans smaller than the GH11 xylanases. However, the GH11 xylanases may be more efficient at catalyzing xylan degradation in natural environments (e.g. biomass) where xylans interact with celluloses and lignins.

Abstract
Glycoside hydrolases require carboxyl groups as catalysts for their activity. A retaining xylanase from Streptomyces olivaceoviridis E-86 belonging to glycoside hydrolase family 10 possesses Glu128 and Glu236 that respectively function as acid/base and nucleophile. We previously developed a unique mutant of the retaining xylanase, N127S/E128H, whose deglycosylation is triggered by azide. A crystallographic study reported that the transient formation of a Ser–His catalytic dyad in the reaction cycle possibly reduced the azidolysis reaction. In the present study, we engineered a catalytic dyad with enhanced stability by site-directed mutagenesis and crystallographic study of N127S/E128H. Comparison of the Michaelis complexes of N127S/E128H with pNP-X2 and with xylopentaose showed that Ser127 could form an alternative hydrogen bond with Thr82, which disrupts the formation of the Ser–His catalytic dyad. The introduction of T82A mutation in N127S/E128H produces an enhanced first-order rate constant (6 times that of N127S/E128H). We confirmed the presence of a stable Ser–His hydrogen bond in the Michaelis complex of the triple mutant, which forms the productive tautomer of His128 that acts as an acid catalyst. Because the glycosyl azide is applicable in the bioconjugation of glycans by using click chemistry, the enzyme-assisted production of the glycosyl azide may contribute to the field of glycobiology.

Abstract
Retaining glycosyl hydrolases, which catalyse both glycosylation and deglycosylation in a concerted manner, are the most abundant hydrolases. To date, their visualization has tended to be focused on glycosylation because glycosylation reactions can be visualized by inactivating deglycosylation step and/or using substrate analogues to isolate covalent intermediates. Furthermore, during structural analyses of glycosyl hydrolases with hydrolytic reaction products by the conventional soaking method, mutarotation of an anomeric carbon in the reaction products promptly and certainly occurs. This undesirable structural alteration hinders visualization of the second step in the reaction. Here, we investigated X-ray crystallographic visualization as a possible method for visualizing the conformational itinerary of a retaining xylanase from Streptomyces olivaceoviridis E-86. To clearly define the stereochemistry at the anomeric carbon during the deglycosylation step, extraneous nucleophiles, such as azide, were adopted to substitute for the missing base catalyst in an appropriate mutant. The X-ray crystallographic visualization provided snapshots of the components of the entire reaction, including the E*S complex, the covalent intermediate, breakdown of the intermediate and the enzyme-product (E*P)complex.

Abstract
Xylanase SoXyn10A from Streptomyces olivaceoviridis E-86 comprises a family 10 catalytic module linked to a family 13 carbohydrate-binding module (SoCBM13). The SoCBM13 has a beta-trefoil structure, with binding sites in each subdomain (alpha, beta and gamma). Subdomain alpha, but not subdomains beta and gamma, binds tightly to lactose. It was, therefore, thought that immobilized lactose could be used for the affinity purification of SoXyn10A. Lactosyl-Sepharose was prepared and tested as an affinity matrix. SoXyn10A produced from the cloned xyn10A gene by Escherichia coli, and native SoXyn10A in culture supernatants from S. olivaceoviridis, were purified to homogeneity in a single step by affinity chromatography using this matrix. This simple purification of SoXyn10A makes the enzyme an attractive candidate for applications requiring xylanase. The CBM also has the potential for use as an affinity tag for the purification of other proteins.

Abstract
The catalytic domain of xylanases belonging to glycoside hydrolase family 10 (GH10) can be divided into 22 modules (M1 to M22; Sato, Y., Niimura, Y., Yura, K., and Go, M. (1999) Gene (Amst.) 238, 93-101). Inspection of the crystal structure of a GH10 xylanase from Streptomyces olivaceoviridis E-86 (SoXyn10A) revealed that the catalytic domain of GH10 xylanases can be dissected into two parts, an N-terminal larger region and C-terminal smaller region, by the substrate binding cleft, corresponding to the module border between M14 and M15. It has been suggested that the topology of the substrate binding clefts of GH10 xylanases are not conserved (Charnock, S. J., Spurway, T. D., Xie, H., Beylot, M. H., Virden, R., Warren, R. A. J., Hazlewood, G. P., and Gilbert, H. J. (1998) J. Biol. Chem. 273, 32187-32199). To facilitate a greater understanding of the structure-function relationship of the substrate binding cleft of GH10 xylanases, a chimeric xylanase between SoXyn10A and Xyn10A from Cellulomonas fimi (CfXyn10A) was constructed, and the topology of the hybrid substrate binding cleft established. At the three-dimensional level, SoXyn10A and CfXyn10A appear to possess 5 subsites, with the amino acid residues comprising subsites -3 to +1 being well conserved, although the +2 subsites are quite different. Biochemical analyses of the chimeric enzyme along with SoXyn10A and CfXyn10A indicated that differences in the structure of subsite +2 influence bond cleavage frequencies and the catalytic efficiency of xylooligosaccharide hydrolysis. The hybrid enzyme constructed in this study displays fascinating biochemistry, with an interesting combination of properties from the parent enzymes, resulting in a low production of xylose.

Abstract
The family 10 xylanase from Streptomyces olivaceoviridis E-86 (SoXyn10A) consists of a GH10 catalytic domain, which is joined by a Gly/Pro-rich linker to a family 13 carbohydrate-binding module (CBM13) that interacts with xylan. To understand how GH10 xylanases and CBM13 recognize decorated xylans, the crystal structure of SoXyn10A was determined in complex with alpha-l-arabinofuranosyl- and 4-O-methyl-alpha-d-glucuronosyl-xylooligosaccharides. The bound sugars were observed in the subsites of the catalytic cleft and also in subdomains alpha and gamma of CBM13. The data reveal that the binding mode of the oligosaccharides in the active site of the catalytic domain is entirely consistent with the substrate specificity and, in conjunction with the accompanying paper, demonstrate that the accommodation of the side chains in decorated xylans is conserved in GH10 xylanases of SoXyn10A against arabinoglucuronoxylan. CBM13 was shown to bind xylose or xylooligosaccharides reversibly by using nonsymmetric sugars as the ligands. The independent multiple sites in CBM13 may increase the probability of substrate binding.

Abstract
The family 3 beta-glucosidase from Thermotoga maritima is a highly thermostable enzyme (85 degrees C) that displays transglycosylation activity. In contrast, the beta-glucosidase from Cellvibrio gilvus is mesophilic (35 degrees C) and displays no such transglycosylation activity. Both enzymes consist of two domains, an N-terminal and a C-terminal domain, and the amino acid identities between the two enzymes in these domains are 32.4 and 36.4%, respectively. In an attempt to identify the molecular basis underpinning the display of transglycosylation activity and the requirements for thermal stability, eight chimeric genes were constructed by shuffling the two parental beta-glucosidase genes at four selected borders, two in the N-terminal domain and two in the C-terminal domain. Of the eight chimeric genes constructed, only two chimeric enzymes (Tm578/606Cg and Tm638/666Cg) gave catalytically active forms and these were the ones shuffled in the C-terminal domain. For these active chimeric enzymes, 80% (Tm578/606Cg) and 88% (Tm638/666Cg) of their amino acid sequences originated from T. maritima. With regard to their thermal profiles, the two active chimeric enzymes, Tm578/606Cg and Tm638/666Cg, displayed profiles intermediate to those of the two parental enzymes as they were optimally active at 65 and 70 degrees C, respectively. These two chimeric enzymes were optimally active at pH 4.1 and 3.9, which is closer to that observed for the T. maritima enzyme (pH 3.2-3.5) than that for the C. gilvus enzyme (pH 6.2-6.5). Kinetic parameters for the chimeric enzymes were investigated with five different substrates including pNP-beta-D-glucopyranoside. The kinetic parameters obtained for the chimeric enzymes were closer to those of the T. maritima enzyme than to those of the C. gilvus enzyme. Transglycosylation activity was observed for both chimeric enzymes and the activity of the Tm578/606Cg chimera was at a level twice that observed with the T. maritima enzyme. This study is an effective demonstration of the usefulness of chimeric enzymes in altering the characteristics of an enzyme.

The family 10 xylanase from Streptomyces olivaceoviridis E-86 contains a (beta/alpha)(8)-barrel as a catalytic domain, a family 13 carbohydrate binding module (CBM) as a xylan binding domain (XBD) and a Gly/Pro-rich linker between them. The crystal structure of this enzyme showed that XBD has three similar subdomains, as indicated by the presence of a triple-repeated sequence, forming a galactose binding lectin fold similar to that found in the ricin toxin B-chain. Comparison with the structure of ricin/lactose complex suggests three potential sugar binding sites in XBD. In order to understand how XBD binds to the xylan chain, we analyzed the sugar-complex structure by the soaking experiment method using the xylooligosaccharides and other sugars. In the catalytic cleft, bound sugars were observed in the xylobiose and xylotriose complex structures. In the XBD, bound sugars were identified in subdomains alpha and gamma in all of the complexes with xylose, xylobiose, xylotriose, glucose, galactose and lactose. XBD binds xylose or xylooligosaccharides at the same sugar binding sites as in the case of the ricin/lactose complex but its binding manner for xylose and xylooligosaccharides is different from the galactose binding mode in ricin, even though XBD binds galactose in the same manner as in the ricin/galactose complex. These different binding modes are utilized efficiently and differently to bind the long substrate to xylanase and ricin-type lectin. XBD can bind any xylose in the xylan backbone, whereas ricin-type lectin recognizes the terminal galactose to sandwich the large sugar chain, even though the two domains have the same family 13 CBM structure. Family 13 CBM has rather loose and broad sugar specificities and is used by some kinds of proteins to bind their target sugars. In such enzyme, XBD binds xylan, and the catalytic domain may assume a flexible position with respect to the XBD/xylan complex, inasmuch as the linker region is unstructured.

Abstract
To facilitate an understanding of structure-function relationships, chimeric xylanases were constructed by module shuffling between the catalytic domains of the FXYN from Streptomyces olivaceoviridis E-86 and the Cex from Cellulomonas fimi. In the family F/10 xylanases, the modules M4 and M5 relate to substrate binding so that modules M4 and M5 of the FXYN were replaced with those of the Cex and the chimeric enzymes denoted FCF-C4, FCF-C5 and FCF-C4,5 were constructed. The k(cat) value of FCF-C5 for p-nitrophenyl-beta-D-cellobioside was similar to that of the FXYN (2.2 s(-1)); however, the k(cat) value of FCF-C4 for p-nitrophenyl-beta-D-cellobioside was significantly higher (7.0 s(-1)). The loss of the hydrogen bond between E46 and S22 or the presence of the I49W mutation would be expected to change the position of Q88, which plays a pivotal role in discriminating between glucose and xylose, resulting in the increased k(cat) value observed for FCF-C4 acting on p-nitrophenyl-beta-D-cellobioside since module M4 directly interacts with Q88. To investigate the synergistic effects of the different modules, module M10 of the FCF-C4 chimera was replaced with that of the Cex. The effects of replacement of module M4 and M10 were almost additive with regard to the K:(m) and k(cat) values.

Abstract
The type XIII xylan-binding domain (XBD) of a family F/10 xylanase (FXYN) from Streptomyces olivaceoviridis E-86 was found to be structurally similar to the ricin B chain which recognizes the non-reducing end of galactose and specifically binds to galactose containing sugars. The crystal structure of XBD [Fujimoto, Z. et al. (2000) J. Mol. Biol. 300, 575-585] indicated that the whole structure of XBD is very similar to the ricin B chain and the amino acids which form the galactose-binding sites are highly conserved between the XBD and the ricin B chain. However, our investigation of the binding abilities of wt FXYN and its truncated mutants towards xylan demonstrated that the XBD bound xylose-based polysaccharides. Moreover, it was found that the sugar-binding unit of the XBD was a trimer, which was demonstrated in a releasing assay using sugar ranging in size from xylose to xyloheptaose. These results indicated that the binding specificity of the XBD was different from those of the same family lectins such as the ricin B chain. Somewhat surprisingly, it was found that lactose could release the XBD from insoluble xylan to a level half of that observed for xylobiose, indicating that the XBD also possessed the same galactose recognition site as the ricin B chain. It appears that the sugar-binding pocket of the XBD has evolved from the ancient ricin super family lectins to bind additional sugar targets, resulting in the differences observed in the sugar-binding specificities between the lectin group (containing the ricin B chain) and the enzyme group.

Abstract
Xylanases hydrolyse the beta-1,4-glycosidic bonds within the xylan backbone and belong to either family 10 or 11 of the glycoside hydrolases, on the basis of the amino acid sequence similarities of their catalytic domains. Generally, xylanases have a core catalytic domain, an N and/or C-terminal substrate-binding domain and a linker region. Until now, X-ray structural analyses of family 10 xylanases have been reported only for their catalytic domains and do not contain substrate-binding domains. We have determined the crystal structure of a family 10 xylanase containing the xylan-binding domain (XBD) from Streptomyces olivaceoviridis E-86 at 1.9 A resolution. The catalytic domain comprises a (beta/alpha)(8)-barrel topologically identical to other family 10 xylanases. XBD has three similar subdomains, as suggested from a triple-repeat sequence, which are assembled against one another around a pseudo-3-fold axis, forming a galactose-binding lectin fold similar to ricin B-chain. The Gly/Pro-rich linker region connecting the catalytic domain and XBD is not visible in the electron density map, probably because of its flexibility. The interface of the two domains in the crystal is hydrophilic, where five direct hydrogen bonds and water-mediated hydrogen bonds exist. The sugar-binding residues seen in ricin/lactose complex are spatially conserved among the three subdomains in XBD, suggesting that all of the subdomains in XBD have the capacity to bind sugars. The flexible linker region enables the two domains to move independently and may provide a triple chance of substrate capturing and catalysis. The structure reported here represents an example where the metabolic enzyme uses a ricin-type lectin motif for capturing the insoluble substrate and promoting catalysis.

Abstract
4-Methylumbelliferyl-beta-D-xylobioside (MU-X2) and 5-bromo-3-indolyl-beta-D-xylobioside (BI-X2) were synthesized as substrates for the detection of xylanase activity on agar plates. A family F/10 xylanase from Streptomyces olivaceoviridis E-86 (FXYN) was able to be more sensitively detected than RBB-xylan by using MU-X2 as a substrate. A mutant xylanase E128H/FXYN having only 1/1000 of the activity of FXYN was also able to be detected on the MU-X2 plate but was not detected on the RBB-xylan plate. A family G/11 xylanase from Streptomyces lividans 66 (Xyn B) was not detected on the MU-X2 plate, but it was able to be detected on the RBB-xylan plate, suggesting that the MU-X2 substrate is specific to family F/10 xylanases. However, none of the xylanases were detected effectively by using BI-X2 as a substrate.

Abstract
Although the amino acid homology in the catalytic domain of FXYN xylanase from Streptomyces olivaceoviridis E-86 and Cex xylanase from Cellulomonas fimi is only 50%, an active chimeric enzyme was obtained by replacing module 10 in FXYN with module 10 from Cex. In the family F/10 xylanases, module 10 is an important region as it includes an acid/base catalyst and a substrate binding residue. In FXYN, module 10 consists of 15 amino acid residues, while in Cex it consists of 14 amino acid residues. The Km and kcat values of the chimeric xylanase FCF-C10 for PNP-xylobioside (PNP-X2) were 10-fold less than those for FXYN. CD spectral data indicated that the structure of the chimeric enzyme was similar to that of FXYN. Based on the comparison of the amino acid sequences of FXYN and Cex in module 10, we constructed four mutants of FXYN. When D133 or S135 of FXYN was deleted, the kinetic properties were not changed from those of FXYN. By deletion of both D133 and S135, the Km value for PNP-X2 decreased from the 2.0 mM of FXYN to 0.6 mM and the kcat value decreased from the 20 s(-1) of FXYN to 8.7 s(-1). Insertion of Q140 into the doubly deleted mutant further reduced the Km value to 0.3 mM and the kcat value to 3.8 s(-1). These values are close to those for the chimeric enzyme FCF-C10. These results indicate that module 10 itself is able to accommodate changes in the sequence position of amino acids which are critical for enzyme function. Since changes of the spatial position of these amino acids would be expected to result in enzyme inactivation, module 10 must have some flexibility in its tertiary structure. The structure of module 10 itself also affects the substrate specificity of the enzyme.
