Abstract
This study was conducted to examine the role of the central domain of cyclomaltodextrinase in terms of stability, substrate specificity, becoming dodecameric form, and enzyme activity. To this end, H403R/L309V double-point mutation and T280Q single-point mutation were performed at the central domain and (β/α)8-barrel. The results indicated that the activity of the H403R/L309V mutant at the optimal pH and temperature increased by about 25% and 40%, respectively. Plus, the irreversible thermal inactivation of the H403R/L309V mutant at 60 °C and 160 min was approximately twice of the enzyme without mutation. Both mutants underwent significant structural change relative to the wild enzyme and subsequently a significant catalytic activity. However, the catalytic efficiency (kcat/Km) of the H403R/L309V mutant increased in the presence of beta- and gamma-cyclomaltodextrin substrates compared to the wild enzyme and T280Q mutant. As a result, by applying the L309V mutant and given the smaller size of the valine, leucine spatial inhibition in the wild protein seems to decline, and also it facilitates the substrate access to active site amino acids. Moreover, as gamma substrate is larger, eliminating the effect of spatial inhibition on this substrate has a greater effect on improving the catalytic activity of this enzyme.

Mascelli GM, Garcia CA, Gardner JG. Genetic and enzymatic characterization of Amy13E from Cellvibrio japonicus reclassifies it as a cyclodextrinase also capable of α-diglucoside degradation. Appl Environ Microbiol 2024; 90:e0152123. [PMID: 38084944 PMCID: PMC10807414 DOI: 10.1128/aem.01521-23] [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: 09/01/2023] [Accepted: 10/31/2023] [Indexed: 01/25/2024] Open
Abstract
Cyclodextrinases are carbohydrate-active enzymes involved in the linearization of circular amylose oligosaccharides. Primarily thought to function as part of starch metabolism, there have been previous reports of bacterial cyclodextrinases also having additional enzymatic activities on linear malto-oligosaccharides. This substrate class also includes environmentally rare α-diglucosides such as kojibiose (α-1,2), nigerose (α-1,3), and isomaltose (α-1,6), all of which have valuable properties as prebiotics or low-glycemic index sweeteners. Previous genome sequencing of three Cellvibrio japonicus strains adapted to utilize these α-diglucosides identified multiple, but uncharacterized, mutations in each strain. One of the mutations identified was in the amy13E gene, which was annotated to encode a neopullulanase. In this report, we functionally characterized this gene and determined that it in fact encodes a cyclodextrinase with additional activities on α-diglucosides. Deletion analysis of amy13E found that this gene was essential for kojibiose and isomaltose metabolism in C. japonicus. Interestingly, a Δamy13E mutant was not deficient for cyclodextrin or pullulan utilization in C. japonicus; however, heterologous expression of the gene in E. coli was sufficient for cyclodextrin-dependent growth. Biochemical analyses found that CjAmy13E cleaved multiple substrates but preferred cyclodextrins and maltose, but had no activity on pullulan. Our characterization of the CjAmy13E cyclodextrinase is useful for refining functional enzyme predictions in related bacteria and for engineering enzymes for biotechnology or biomedical applications.IMPORTANCEUnderstanding the bacterial metabolism of cyclodextrins and rare α-diglucosides is increasingly important, as these sugars are becoming prevalent in the foods, supplements, and medicines humans consume that subsequently feed the human gut microbiome. Our analysis of a cyclomaltodextrinase with an expanded substrate range is significant because it broadens the potential applications of the GH13 family of carbohydrate active enzymes (CAZymes) in biotechnology and biomedicine. Specifically, this study provides a workflow for the discovery and characterization of novel activities in bacteria that possess a high number of CAZymes that otherwise would be missed due to complications with functional redundancy. Furthermore, this study provides a model from which predictions can be made why certain bacteria in crowded niches are able to robustly utilize rare carbon sources, possibly to gain a competitive growth advantage.

Abstract
Polysaccharide hydrolases are enzymes capable of hydrolyzing polysaccharides to generate oligosaccharides that have diverse applications in the food, feed and pharmaceutical industries. However, the detailed mechanisms governing the compositions of their hydrolysates remain poorly understood. Previously, we identified a novel neopullulase Amy117, which exclusively converts pullulan to panose by specifically cleaving α-1,4-glycosidic bonds. Yet, several enzymes with high homology to Amy117 produce a mixture of glucose, maltose and panose during pullulan hydrolysis. To explore this particular phenomenon, we compared the sequences and structures between Amy117 and the maltose amylase ThMA, and identified a specific residue Thr299 in Amy117 (equivalent to His294 in ThMA) within the product-releasing cleft of Amy117, which might be responsible for this characteristic feature. Using structure-based rational design, we have successfully converted the product profiles of pullulan hydrolysates between Amy117 and ThMA by simply altering this key residue. Molecular docking analysis indicated that the key residue at the product-releasing outlet altered the product profile by affecting the panose release rate. Moreover, we modeled the long-chain pullulan substrate G8 to examine its potential conformations and found that G8 might undergo a conformational change in the narrow cleft that allows the Amy117 variant to specifically recognize α-1,6-glycosidic bonds.

[PMID: 37567718 DOI: 10.1016/j.carbpol.2023.121183] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/07/2023] [Revised: 07/05/2023] [Accepted: 07/06/2023] [Indexed: 08/13/2023]
Abstract
Maltogenic amylase (MAA) (EC3.2.1.133), a member of the glycoside hydrolase family 13 that mainly produces α-maltose, is widely used to extend the shelf life of bread as it softens bread, improves its elasticity, and preserves its flavor without affecting dough processing. Moreover, MAA is used as an improver in flour products. Despite its antiaging properties, the hydrolytic capacity and thermal stability of MAA can't meet the requirements of industrial application. However, genetic engineering techniques used for the molecular modification of MAA can alter its functional properties to meet application-specific requirements. This review briefly introduces the structure and functions of MAA, its application in starch modification, its effects on starch-based products, and its molecular modification to provide better insights for the application of genetically modified MAA in starch modification.

Abstract
Members of the Bacteroidetes phylum in the human colon deploy an extensive number of proteins to capture and degrade polysaccharides. Operons devoted to glycan breakdown and uptake are termed polysaccharide utilization loci or PUL. The starch utilization system (Sus) is one such PUL and was initially described in Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron (Bt). BtSus is highly conserved across many species, except for its extracellular α-amylase, SusG. In this work, we show that the Bacteroides ovatus (Bo) extracellular α-amylase, BoGH13ASus, is distinguished from SusG in its evolutionary origin and its domain architecture and by being the most prevalent form in Bacteroidetes Sus. BoGH13ASus is the founding member of both a novel subfamily in the glycoside hydrolase family 13, GH13_47, and a novel carbohydrate-binding module, CBM98. The BoGH13ASus CBM98-CBM48-GH13_47 architecture differs from the CBM58 embedded within the GH13_36 of SusG. These domains adopt a distinct spatial orientation and invoke a different association with the outer membrane. The BoCBM98 binding site is required for Bo growth on polysaccharides and optimal enzymatic degradation thereof. Finally, the BoGH13ASus structure features bound Ca2+ and Mn2+ ions, the latter of which is novel for an α-amylase. Little is known about the impact of Mn2+ on gut bacterial function, much less on polysaccharide consumption, but Mn2+ addition to Bt expressing BoGH13ASus specifically enhances growth on starch. Further understanding of bacterial starch degradation signatures will enable more tailored prebiotic and pharmaceutical approaches that increase starch flux to the gut.

Cost-effective and controllable synthesis of isomalto/malto-polysaccharides from β-cyclodextrin by combined action of cyclodextrinase and 4,6-α-glucanotransferase GtfB. Carbohydr Polym 2023; 310:120716.

Abstract
Isomalto/malto-polysaccharides (IMMPs) derived from malto-oligosaccharides such as maltoheptaose (G7) are elongated non-branched gluco-oligosaccharides produced by 4,6-α-glucanotransferase (GtfB). However, G7 is expensive and cumbersome to produce commercially. In this study, a cost-effective enzymatic process for IMMPs synthesis is developed that utilizes the combined action of cyclodextrinase from Palaeococcus pacificus (PpCD) and GtfB-ΔN from Limosilactobacillus reuteri 121 to convert β-cyclodextrin into IMMPs with a maximum yield (16.19 %, w/w). The purified IMMPs synthesized by simultaneous or sequential treatments, designated as IMMP-Sim and IMMP-Seq, possess relatively high contents of α-(1 → 6) glucosidic linkages. By controlling the release of G7 and smaller malto-oligosaccharides by PpCD, IMMP-Seq was obtained of DP varying from 12.9 to 29.5. Enzymatic fingerprinting revealed different linkage-type distribution of α-(1 → 6) linked segments with α-(1 → 4) segments embedded at the reducing end and middle part. The proportion of α-(1 → 6) segments containing the non-reducing end was 56.76 % for IMMP-Sim but 28.98 % for IMMP-Seq. Addition of G3 or G4 as specific acceptors resulted in IMMPs exhibiting low polydispersity. This procedure can be applied as a novel bioprocess that does not require costy high-purity malto-oligosaccharides and with control of the average DP of IMMPs by adjusting the substrate composition.

Molecules 2023; 28:molecules28103972.

Abstract
Periplasmic α-amylase MalS (EC. 3.2.1.1), which belongs to glycoside hydrolase (GH) family 13 subfamily 19, is an integral component of the maltose utilization pathway in Escherichia coli K12 and used among Ecnterobacteriaceae for the effective utilization of maltodextrin. We present the crystal structure of MalS from E. coli and reveal that it has unique structural features of circularly permutated domains and a possible CBM69. The conventional C-domain of amylase consists of amino acids 120-180 (N-terminal) and 646-676 (C-terminal) in MalS, and the whole domain architecture shows the complete circular permutation of C-A-B-A-C in domain order. Regarding substrate interaction, the enzyme has a 6-glucosyl unit pocket binding it to the non-reducing end of the cleavage site. Our study found that residues D385 and F367 play important roles in the preference of MalS for maltohexaose as an initial product. At the active site of MalS, β-CD binds more weakly than the linear substrate, possibly due to the positioning of A402. MalS has two Ca2+ binding sites that contribute significantly to the thermostability of the enzyme. Intriguingly, the study found that MalS exhibits a high binding affinity for polysaccharides such as glycogen and amylopectin. The N domain, of which the electron density map was not observed, was predicted to be CBM69 by AlphaFold2 and might have a binding site for the polysaccharides. Structural analysis of MalS provides new insight into the structure-evolution relationship in GH13 subfamily 19 enzymes and a molecular basis for understanding the details of catalytic function and substrate binding of MalS.

Abstract
This work reports the characterization of an amylolytic enzyme from the bacteria Massilia timonae CTI-57. A gene encoding this protein was expressed from the pTrcHis2B plasmid in Escherichia coli BL21 Star™ (DE3). The purified protein had 64 kDa, and its modeled structure showed a monomer with the conserved α-amylases structure composed of the domain A with the characteristic (β/α)8-barrel, the small domain B, and the domain C with an antiparallel beta-sheet. Phylogenetic analysis demonstrated that the expressed protein belongs to the GH13_19 subfamily of glycoside hydrolases. The ions Ca2+, Mn2+, Na+, Mg2+, Mo6+, and K+ did activate the purified enzyme, while EDTA and the ions Fe2+, Hg2+, Zn2+, and Cu2+ were strong inhibitors. SDS was also a strong inhibitor. The enzyme's optimal pH and temperature were 7.0 and 45 °C, respectively, and its Tm was 62.2 °C. The KM of the purified enzyme for starch was 13 mg/mL, and the Vmax was 0.24 μmol of reducing sugars released per min. The characterized enzyme presented higher specificity for maltodextrin and starch and produced maltose as the main starch hydrolysis product. This is the first characterized maltose-forming amylolytic enzyme from the GH13_19 subfamily. The purified enzyme produced β-cyclodextrin from starch and maltodextrin and could be considered a cyclodextrin glucanotransferase (CGTase). This is the first report of a GH13_19 subfamily enzyme with CGTase activity.

Discovery of a New Microbial Origin Cold-Active Neopullulanase Capable for Effective Conversion of Pullulan to Panose. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms23136928. [PMID: 35805929 PMCID: PMC9267027 DOI: 10.3390/ijms23136928] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/24/2022] [Revised: 06/20/2022] [Accepted: 06/21/2022] [Indexed: 11/26/2022] Open
Abstract
Panose is a type of functional sugar with diverse bioactivities. The enzymatic conversion bioprocess to produce high purity panose with high efficiency has become increasingly important. Here, a new neopullulanase (NPase), Amy117 from B. pseudofirmus 703, was identified and characterized. Amy117 presented the optimal activity at pH 7.0 and 30 °C, its activity is over 40% at 10 °C and over 80% at 20 °C, which is cold-active. The enzyme cleaved α-1, 4-glycosidic linkages of pullulan to generate panose as the only hydrolysis product, and degraded cyclodextrins (CDs) and starch to glucose and maltose, with an apparent preference for CDs. Furthermore, Amy117 can produce 72.7 mg/mL panose with a conversion yield of 91% (w/w) based on 80 mg/mL pullulan. The sequence and structure analysis showed that the low proportion of Arg, high proportion of Asn and Gln, and high α-helix levels in Amy117 may contribute to its cold-active properties. Root mean square deviation (RMSD) analysis also showed that Amy117 is more flexible than two mesophilic homologues. Hence, we discovered a new high-efficiency panose-producing NPase, which so far achieves the highest panose production and would be an ideal candidate in the food industry.

Dimeric architecture of maltodextrin glucosidase (MalZ) provides insights into the substrate recognition and hydrolysis mechanism. Biochem Biophys Res Commun 2022; 586:49-54.

Abstract
Maltodextrin glucosidase (MalZ) is a key enzyme in the maltose utilization pathway in Escherichia coli that liberates glucose from the reducing end of the short malto-oligosaccharides. Unlike other enzymes in the GH13_21 subfamily, the hydrolytic activity of MalZ is limited to maltodextrin rather than long starch substrates, forming various transglycosylation products in α-1,3, α-1,4 or α-1,6 linkages. The mechanism for the substrate binding and hydrolysis of this enzyme is not well understood yet. Here, we present the dimeric crystal structure of MalZ, with the N-domain generating a unique substrate binding groove. The N-domain bears CBM34 architecture and forms a part of the active site in the catalytic domain of the adjacent molecule. The groove found between the N-domain and catalytic domain from the adjacent molecule, shapes active sites suitable for short malto-oligosaccharides, but hinders long stretches of oligosaccharides. The conserved residue of E44 protrudes at subsite +2, elucidating the hydrolysis pattern of the substrate by the glucose unit from the reducing end. The structural analysis provides a molecular basis for the substrate specificity and the enzymatic property, and has potential industrial application for protein engineering.

Improving Aqueous Solubility of Natural Antioxidant Mangiferin through Glycosylation by Maltogenic Amylase from Parageobacillus galactosidasius DSM 18751. Antioxidants (Basel) 2021; 10:antiox10111817.

Abstract
Mangiferin is a natural antioxidant C-glucosidic xanthone originally isolated from the Mangifera indica (mango) plant. Mangiferin exhibits a wide range of pharmaceutical activities. However, mangiferin's poor solubility limits its applications. To resolve this limitation of mangiferin, enzymatic glycosylation of mangiferin to produce more soluble mangiferin glucosides was evaluated. Herein, the recombinant maltogenic amylase (MA; E.C. 3.2.1.133) from a thermophile Parageobacillus galactosidasius DSM 18751T (PgMA) was cloned into Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3) via the expression plasmid pET-Duet-1. The recombinant PgMA was purified via Ni2+ affinity chromatography. To evaluate its transglycosylation activity, 17 molecules, including mangiferin (as sugar acceptors), belonging to triterpenoids, saponins, flavonoids, and polyphenol glycosides, were assayed with β-CD (as the sugar donor). The results showed that puerarin and mangiferin are suitable sugar acceptors in the transglycosylation reaction. The glycosylation products from mangiferin by PgMA were isolated using preparative high-performance liquid chromatography. Their chemical structures were glucosyl-α-(1→6)-mangiferin and maltosyl-α-(1→6)-mangiferin, determined by mass and nucleic magnetic resonance spectral analysis. The newly identified maltosyl-α-(1→6)-mangiferin showed 5500-fold higher aqueous solubility than that of mangiferin, and both mangiferin glucosides exhibited similar 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl free radical scavenging activities compared to mangiferin. PgMA is the first MA with glycosylation activity toward mangiferin, meaning mangiferin glucosides have potential future applications.

Abstract
The abundance and diversity of host-associated Prevotella species have a profound impact on human health. To investigate the composition, diversity, and functional roles of Prevotella in the human gut, a population-wide analysis was carried out on 586 healthy samples from western and non-western populations including the largest Indian cohort comprising of 200 samples, and 189 Inflammatory Bowel Disease samples from western populations. A higher abundance and diversity of Prevotella copri species enriched in complex plant polysaccharides metabolizing enzymes, particularly pullulanase containing polysaccharide-utilization-loci (PUL), were found in Indian and non-western populations. A higher diversity of oral inflammations-associated Prevotella species and an enrichment of virulence factors and antibiotic resistance genes in the gut microbiome of western populations speculates an existence of a mouth-gut axis. The study revealed the landscape of Prevotella composition in the human gut microbiome and its impact on health in western and non-western populations.

Abstract
α-Glucosidase (EC 3.2.1.20) is a carbohydrate-hydrolyzing enzyme which generally cleaves α-1,4-glycosidic bonds of oligosaccharides and starch from the nonreducing ends. In this study, the novel α-glucosidase from Weissella cibaria BBK-1 (WcAG) was biochemically and structurally characterized. WcAG belongs to glycoside hydrolase family 13 (GH13) and to the neopullanase subfamily. It exhibits distinct hydrolytic activity towards the α-1,4 linkages of short-chain oligosaccharides from the reducing end. The enzyme prefers to hydrolyse maltotriose and acarbose, while it cannot hydrolyse cyclic oligosaccharides and polysaccharides. In addition, WcAG can cleave pullulan hydrolysates and strongly exhibits transglycosylation activity in the presence of maltose. Size-exclusion chromatography and X-ray crystal structures revealed that WcAG forms a homodimer in which the N-terminal domain of one monomer is orientated in proximity to the catalytic domain of another, creating the substrate-binding groove. Crystal structures of WcAG in complexes with maltose, maltotriose and acarbose revealed a remarkable enzyme active site with accessible +2, +1 and -1 subsites, along with an Arg-Glu gate (Arg176-Glu296) in front of the active site. The -2 and -3 subsites were blocked by Met119 and Asn120 from the N-terminal domain of a different subunit, resulting in an extremely restricted substrate preference.

Abstract
Maltodextrins (dextrins) are glucose chains normally produced by starch hydrolysis. Maltodextrins are characterized by their degree of polymerization (DP), which indicates the average number of glucose units per chain. Maltoheptaose (DP7), also known as amyloheptaose, is one of the maltodextrin mixtures widely used in foods, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical industries. Recently, the enzymatic synthesis of DP7 has attracted considerable attention, owing to its considerable advantages over chemical methods. In this work, we have designed a one-pot cascade reaction bio-synthesis starting from soluble starch to produce a specific degree of polymerization (DP7). The reaction system was catalyzed by cyclodextrin glucotransferase (GaCGT) from Gracilibacillus alcaliphilus SK51.001CGTase (transglycosylation/cyclization reaction) and cyclomaltodextrinase (BsCD) from Bacillus sphaericus E-244CDase (ring-opening reaction). The one-pot cascade reaction exhibited an optimum temperature of 30 °C and pH 7.0, and the addition of Ca2+ enhanced the maltoheptaose production. The optimum enzyme units for the one-pot cascade reaction were 80 U/g of GaCGT and 1 U/g of BsCD. However, the sequential addition of the enzymes exhibited a 5-fold higher conversion rate over simultaneous addition. The one-pot cascade reaction converted 30 g/L of soluble starch to 5.4 g/L of maltoheptaose in 1 h reaction time with a conversion rate of 16 %.

Abstract
This study aims to develop a novel intraperitoneal two- or three-layered patch with immunomodulatory property for treatment of hernia, regeneration of abdominal wall and prevention of intraperitoneal adhesions. Polypropylene (PP) mesh, middle layer, was intended to provide mechanical support whereas pullulan (PUL) hydrogel coating layer was designed to prevent intraperitoneal adhesions. Fibroin/chitosan oligosaccharide lactate (F/COS) layer electrospun on one side of pullulan was chosen for immunomodulation and abdominal wall regeneration. Physical and mechanical properties and regenerative capacity of intraperitoneal patches were determined. Immunomodulatory property of electrospun layer and whole patch was studied by determining nitric oxide amount produced by RAW 264.7 macrophages. 25 % (w/v) PUL hydrogel and F/COS with 90:10 (w/w) ratio yielded optimal results. Here, we report that fabricated intraperitoneal patches successfully prevented cell adhesion on one side and increased cell viability and proliferation on other side, along with immunomodulation, in vitro.

Abstract
Cyclodextrinase (CDase) and cyclodextrin glucosyltransferase (CGTase) were synergistically used to provide a novel enzymatic method in lowing in vitro digestibility of waxy maize starch. The molecular structure, malto-oligosaccharide composition, and digestibility properties of the generated products were investigated. The molecular weight was reduced to 0.3 × 105 g/mol and 0.2 × 105 g/mol by simultaneous and sequential treatment with CDase and CGTase, while the highest proportion of chains with degree of polymerization (DP) < 13 was obtained by simultaneous treatment. The resistant starch contents were increased to 27.5% and 36.9% by simultaneous and sequential treatments respectively. Dual-enzyme treatment significantly promoted the content of malto-oligosaccharides (MOSs) by hydrolyzing cyclodextrins from CGTase with CDase. However, the replacement of cyclodextrins by MOSs did not obviously influence the digestibility of the products. The starch digestion kinetics further revealed the hydrolysis pattern of these two enzymes on the starch hydrolysate. It was proved that the starch digestibility could be lowered by modulating the molecular structure and beneficial MOSs content by this dual-enzyme treatment.

Abstract
The large agglomeration of starch paste in hot water, and fast retrogradation tendency and low transparency of starch gel restrict widespread application of kudzu starch. To improve the above defects, kudzu starch was modified with sequentially α-amylase (AA) and transglucosidase (TG), the latter for varying times. The results indicated that, compared to kudzu starch, amylose content and molecular weight of AA/TG-treated starches reduced by 20.07% and 69.50%, respectively. The proportion of A chain increased by 68.68%, whereas B1, B2 and B3 chains decreased by 14.28%, 48.29% and 23.44%, respectively. The degree of branching dramatically increased by 128.3%. After AA→TG treatment, the changes of starch structure enhanced the functional properties of kudzu starch. The solubility, paste clarity and gelatinization temperature increased, whereas the relative crystallinity, viscosity, storage and loss moduli decreased. Overall, the AA→TG modification would be desirable to improve the functional properties of kudzu starch to expand more large-scale application.

Abstract
The ability to catalyse a reaction acting on different substrates, known as “broad-specificity” or “multi-specificity”, and to catalyse different reactions at the same active site (“promiscuity”) are common features among the enzymes. These properties appear to go against the concept of extreme specificity of the catalytic action of enzymes and have been re-evaluated in terms of evolution and metabolic adaptation. This paper examines the potential usefulness of a differential inhibitory action in the study of the susceptibility to inhibition of multi-specific or promiscuous enzymes acting on different substrates. Aldose reductase is a multi-specific enzyme that catalyses the reduction of both aldoses and hydrophobic cytotoxic aldehydes and is used here as a concrete case to deal with the differential inhibition approach.

Abstract
An enzymatic method was investigated to initiate a strategy of increasing the branch density of pea starch, thus facilitating the formation of a starch-lipid complex after debranching. When the starch was modified by exposure to maltogenic amylase (MAL) and pullulanase (PUL), lower molecular weight values and higher amylose content resulted compared to the untreated sample. High-performance anion-exchange chromatography results suggested that the average chain length decreased and the branch density increased after the starch received MAL treatment. The diffraction intensities and the total melting enthalpies of the dual-enzyme treated complex were greater than those for other samples when the level of MAL between 4-12 U/g. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy revealed that more ordered structure was formed in MAL (4/8/12)-PUL-starch-lauric acid (Lau) complexes. Digestive performance analysis indicated that the enzyme resistance of the starch-Lau complex was reinforced by applying the MAL-PUL modification to the starch.

Abstract
Background Maltoheptaose as malto-oligosaccharides with specific degree of polymerization, has wide applications in food, medicine and cosmetics industries. Currently, cyclodextrinase have been applied as prepared enzyme to prepare maltoheptaose. However, the yield and proportion of maltoheptaose was lower, which is due to limited substrate and product specificity of cyclodextrinase (CDase). To achieve higher maltoheptaose yield, cyclodextrinase with high substrate and product specificity should be obtained. Results In this study, cyclodextrinase derived from Thermococcus sp B1001 (TsCDase) was successfully expressed and characterized in Bacillus subtilis for the first time. The specific activity of TsCDase was 637.95 U/mg under optimal conditions of 90 °C and pH 5.5, which exhibited high substrate specificity for cyclodextrins (CDs). When the concentration of β-CD was 8%, the yield of maltoheptaose achieved by TsCDase was 82.33% across all reaction products, which exceeded the yields of maltoheptaose in other recent reports. Among malto-oligosaccharides generated as reaction products, maltoheptaose was present in the highest proportion, about 94.55%. Conclusions This study provides high substrate and product specificity of TsCDase. TsCDase is able to prepare higher yield of maltoheptaose through conversion of β-CD in the food industry.

Abstract
As the primary source of a wide range of industrial products, the study of petroleum-derived compounds is of pivotal importance. However, the process of oil extraction and refinement is among the most environmentally hazardous practices, impacting almost all levels of the ecological chain. So far, the most appropriate strategy to overcome such an issue is through bioremediation, which revolves around the employment of different microorganisms to degrade hazardous compounds, generating less environmental impact and lower monetary costs. In this sense, a myriad of organisms and enzymes are considered possible candidates for the bioremediation process. Amidst the potential candidates is α-amylase, an evolutionary conserved starch-degrading enzyme. Notably, α-amylase was not only seen to degrade n-alkanes, a subclass of alkanes considered the most abundant petroleum-derived compounds but also low-density polyethylene, a dangerous pollutant produced from petroleum. Thus, due to its high conservation in both eukaryotic and prokaryotic lineages, in addition to the capability to degrade different types of hazardous compounds, the study of α-amylase becomes a rising interest. Nevertheless, there are no studies that review all biotechnological applications of α-amylase for bioremediation. In this work, we critically review the potential biotechnological applications of α-amylase, focusing on the biodegradation of petroleum-derived compounds. Evolutionary aspects are discussed, as well for all structural information and all features that could impact on the employment of this protein in the biotechnological industry, such as pH, temperature, and medium conditions. New perspectives and critical assessments are conducted regarding the application of α-amylase in the bioremediation of n-alkanes.

Abstract
Cyclomaltodextrinase (CDase) is a member of the alpha-amylase family GH13, the subfamily GH13_20. In addition to CDase and neopullulanase, this subfamily also contains maltogenic amylase. They have common structural features, but different substrate specificity. In current work, a combination of bioinformatics and experimental tools were used for designing and constructions of single and double mutants of a new variant of CDase from Anoxybacillus flavithermus. Considering the evolutionary variable positions 123 and 127 at the dimer interface of subunits in the alpha-amylase family, these positions in CDase were modified and three mutants, including A123V, C127Q and A123V/C127Q were constructed. The tertiary structure of WT and mutants were made with the MODELLER program, and the phylogenetic tree of homologous protein sequences was built with selected programs in Phylip package. Enzyme kinetic studies revealed that the catalytic efficiency of mutants, especially double one, is lower than the WT enzyme. Heat-induced denaturation experiments were monitored by measuring the UV/Vis signal at 280 nm, and it was found that WT protein is structurally more stable at 25 °C. However, it is more susceptible to changes in temperature compared to the double mutant. It was concluded that the positions 123 and 127 at the dimeric interface of CDase, not only could affect the conformational stability; but also; the catalytic properties of the enzyme by setting up the active site configuration in the dimeric state.

Abstract
Background α-Amylases specifically catalyse the hydrolysis of the internal α-1, 4-glucosidic linkages of starch. Glycoside hydrolase (GH) family 13 is the main α-amylase family in the carbohydrate-active database. Lactobacillus plantarum WCFS1 possesses eleven proteins included in GH13 family. Among these, proteins annotated as maltose-forming α-amylase (Lp_0179) and maltogenic α-amylase (Lp_2757) were included. Results In this study, Lp_0179 and Lp_2757 L. plantarum α-amylases were structurally and biochemically characterized. Lp_2757 displayed structural features typical of GH13_20 subfamily which were absent in Lp_0179. Genes encoding Lp_0179 (Amy2) and Lp_2757 were cloned and overexpressed in Escherichia coli BL21(DE3). Purified proteins showed high hydrolytic activity on pNP-α-D-maltopyranoside, being the catalytic efficiency of Lp_0179 remarkably higher. In relation to the hydrolysis of starch-related carbohydrates, Lp_0179 only hydrolysed maltopentaose and dextrin, demonstrating that is an exotype glucan hydrolase. However, Lp_2757 was also able to hydrolyze cyclodextrins and other non-cyclic oligo- and polysaccharides, revealing a great preference towards α-1,4-linkages typical of maltogenic amylases. Conclusions The substrate range as well as the biochemical properties exhibited by Lp_2757 maltogenic α-amylase suggest that this enzyme could be a very promising enzyme for the hydrolysis of α-1,4 glycosidic linkages present in a broad number of starch-carbohydrates, as well as for the investigation of an hypothetical transglucosylation activity under appropriate reaction conditions.

Abstract
The production of γ-cyclodextrin usually includes the utilization of organic complexants. However, the non-complexant production of γ-cyclodextrin is always being explored due to the defects of organic complexants. However, in non-complexant production, the separation of γ-cyclodextrin from α- and β-cyclodextrin is still a challenge. Here, the selective hydrolysis ability of a cyclodextrinase designated PpCD (cyclodextrinase from Palaeococcus pacificus) on α-cyclodextrin, β-cyclodextrin, and γ-cyclodextrin was proved. The kcat /Km values of PpCD for α-cyclodextrin and β-cyclodextrin were roughly 12-fold and 5-fold higher than that of γ-cyclodextrin. It was proved that PpCD had selective hydrolysis ability and its γ-cyclodextrin purification performance was apparent on various simulated cyclodextrin mixtures with reported proportions derived from different CGTases. Besides, the hydrolysis temperature was optimized and it could be seen that 85°C was appropriate for the production of γ-cyclodextrin. In addition, the production of γ-cyclodextrin was achieved by using PpCD in the γ-CGTase reaction products.

Abstract
The hydrolytic activity of a thermophilic cyclomaltodextrinase (CMD) from Anoxybacillus flavithermus ZNU-NGA and a representative single mutant were investigated against soluble substrates including α-, β- and γ-cyclomaltodestrines (CDs). Based on the occurrence of arginine (Arg) at position 403 in some homologue proteins, His403 in Wild-type (WT) CMD was replaced with Arg (H403R variant) with site-directed mutagenesis procedures. According to bioinformatics data, Arg403 in mutant protein is located near Glu357 as one of the catalytic residues in a manner that they are able to create a medium-range attractive electrostatistic interaction. Structural studies by Far UV-CD showed that this mutation is accompanied by conversion of a small fraction of α-helix to β-form structure. Fluorescence data reveals that, the hydrophobic regions at the surface of protein, as the binding sites for ANS (8-Anilinonaphthalene-1-sulfonic acid) increase in mutant protein, demonstrating relative inflation of H403R variant compared with WT protein. However, the polarity of microenvironment around chromophores did not change upon mutation. Activity measurement in different ranges of pH and temperatures showed that the optimum values of pH and temperature in mutant enzyme is the same as WT enzyme, however; the activity at optimum points increased in H403R variant. It was also revealed that the H403R variant had slightly improved catalytic efficiency for γ-CD. The same value of activation parameters for both protein variants indicates that mutation does not alter the mechanism of catalysis during enzyme-substrate formation.

Abstract
The term "starch-binding domain" (SBD) has been applied to a domain within an amylolytic enzyme that gave the enzyme the ability to bind onto raw, i.e. thermally untreated, granular starch. An SBD is a special case of a carbohydrate-binding domain, which in general, is a structurally and functionally independent protein module exhibiting no enzymatic activity but possessing potential to target the catalytic domain to the carbohydrate substrate to accommodate it and process it at the active site. As so-called families, SBDs together with other carbohydrate-binding modules (CBMs) have become an integral part of the CAZy database (http://www.cazy.org/). The first two well-described SBDs, i.e. the C-terminal Aspergillus-type and the N-terminal Rhizopus-type have been assigned the families CBM20 and CBM21, respectively. Currently, among the 85 established CBM families in CAZy, fifteen can be considered as families having SBD functional characteristics: CBM20, 21, 25, 26, 34, 41, 45, 48, 53, 58, 68, 69, 74, 82 and 83. All known SBDs, with the exception of the extra long CBM74, were recognized as a module consisting of approximately 100 residues, adopting a β-sandwich fold and possessing at least one carbohydrate-binding site. The present review aims to deliver and describe: (i) the SBD identification in different amylolytic and related enzymes (e.g., CAZy GH families) as well as in other relevant enzymes and proteins (e.g., laforin, the β-subunit of AMPK, and others); (ii) information on the position in the polypeptide chain and the number of SBD copies and their CBM family affiliation (if appropriate); (iii) structure/function studies of SBDs with a special focus on solved tertiary structures, in particular, as complexes with α-glucan ligands; and (iv) the evolutionary relationships of SBDs in a tree common to all SBD CBM families (except for the extra long CBM74). Finally, some special cases and novel potential SBDs are also introduced.

Abstract
Cyclomaltodextrinases show diverse hydrolyzing and/or transglycosylation activities against cyclodextrins, starch and pullulan. A gene annotated as cyclomaltodextrinase from Geobacillus thermopakistaniensis was cloned and overexpressed in Escherichia coli. The gene product, CDaseGt, was purified and biochemically characterized. The recombinant enzyme exhibited highest activity with α-cyclodextrin at 55 °C and pH 6.0. Specific hydrolytic activities towards α-, β- and γ-cyclodextrin were 1200, 735 and 360 μmol min-1 mg-1, respectively. To the best of our knowledge, the activity against α-cyclodextrin is the highest among the reported enzymes. Next to cyclodextrins, pullulan was the most preferred substrate with a specific activity of 105 μmol min-1 mg-1. CDaseGt was capable of hydrolysis of maltotriose and acarbose as well as transglycosylation of their hydrolytic products. At 65 °C, there was no significant loss in enzyme activity even after overnight incubation. Activity of CDaseGt was not metal ions dependent, however, the presence of Mn2+ significantly enhanced the α-CDase activity. EDTA had no significant effect on the CDaseGt activity, however, it enhanced the thermostability of the enzyme. CDaseGt existed in monomeric as well as dimeric form in solution. Dimeric form is more active compared to the monomeric one. Equilibrium between the two forms seems to be concentration dependent.

Abstract
Some microorganisms can produce cyclodextrin glycosyltransferases, which degrades starch by catalyzing cyclization and giving rise to cyclodextrin. Thus, to fully degrade starch, microorganisms can also synthesize cyclodextrinases, which hydrolyze cyclodextrins. In this work, a truncated gene, without the signal peptide coding sequence, encoding a cyclodextrinase from Massilia timonae was PCR amplified, cloned, and expressed in E. coli. The histidine-tagged recombinant enzyme was purified by immobilized metal ion affinity chromatography. The purified protein was found to be a tetramer of about 260 kDa, with monomers of about 65 kDa, as estimated by gel filtration and SDS-PAGE, respectively. The enzyme presented an optimum temperature of 40 °C, optimum pH of 7.0, and remained stable after 30 min of incubation at 45 °C, with a T50 of 48.45 °C. The enzyme showed a higher activity toward β-cyclodextrin compared to that for maltodextrin and starch. KM for β-cyclodextrin was 2.1 mM, Vmax was 0.084 μmol/min, kcat was 8326 min-1, and kcat/KM was 4.1 × 106 M-1min-1. Calcium acted as an activator and SDS, CTAB, several cations, and EDTA acted as strong inhibitors. The purified cyclodextrinase produced glucose and maltose as final products by hydrolysis of β-cyclodextrin, maltotetraose, and maltoheptaose. This novel cyclodextrinase could be a promising alternative for the enzymatic hydrolysis of starch.

Abstract
The gene encoding the novel amylolytic enzyme designated CoMA was cloned from Corallococcus sp. strain EGB. The deduced amino acid sequence contained a predicted lipoprotein signal peptide (residues 1 to 18) and a conserved glycoside hydrolase family 13 (GH13) module. The amino acid sequence of CoMA exhibits low sequence identity (10 to 19%) with cyclodextrin-hydrolyzing enzymes (GH13_20) and is assigned to GH13_36. The most outstanding feature of CoMA is its ability to catalyze the conversion of maltooligosaccharides (≥G3) and soluble starch to maltose as the sole hydrolysate. Moreover, it can hydrolyze γ-cyclodextrin and starch to maltose and hydrolyze pullulan exclusively to panose with relative activities of 0.2, 1, and 0.14, respectively. CoMA showed both hydrolysis and transglycosylation activities toward α-1,4-glycosidic bonds but not to α-1,6-linkages. Moreover, glucosyl transfer was postulated to be the major transglycosidation reaction for producing a high level of maltose without the attendant production of glucose. These results indicated that CoMA possesses some unusual properties that distinguish it from maltogenic amylases and typical α-amylases. Its physicochemical properties suggested that it has potential for commercial development.IMPORTANCE The α-amylase from Corallococcus sp. EGB, which was classified to the GH13_36 subfamily, can catalyze the conversion of maltooligosaccharides (≥G3) and soluble starch to maltose as the sole hydrolysate. An action mechanism for producing a high level of maltose without the attendant production of glucose has been proposed. Moreover, it also can hydrolyze γ-cyclodextrin and pullulan. Its biochemical characterization suggested that CoMA may be involved the accumulation of maltose in Corallococcus media.

Abstract
Cyclomaltodextrinases (CDases) belong to Glycoside Hydrolases (GH) family 13, which show versatile hydrolyzing and/or transglycosylation activity against cyclodextrin (CD), starch, and pullulan. Especially, some CDases have been reported to hydrolyze acarbose, a potent α-glucosidase inhibitor, and transfer the resulting acarviosine-glucose to various acceptors. In this study, a novel CDase (LPCD) gene was cloned from Lactobacillus plantarum WCFS1, which encodes 574 amino acids (64.6 kDa) and shares less than 44% of identities with the known CDase-family enzymes. Recombinant LPCD with C-terminal six-histidines was produced and purified from Escherichia coli. It showed the highest activity on β-CD at 45°C and pH 5.0, respectively. Gel permeation chromatography analysis revealed that LPCD exists as a dodecameric form (~826 kDa). Its hydrolyzing activity on β- CD is almost same as that on starch, whereas it can hardly attack pullulan. Most interestingly, LPCD catalyzed the unique modes of action in acarbose hydrolysis to produce maltose and acarviosine, as well as to glucose and acarviosineglucose.

Abstract
The most extremely thermostable maltogenic amylase (SMMA) from archaeon Staphylothermus marinus has many potential applications in food processing. To ensure safety of microbial origin, a recombinant plasmid containing the enzymic gene and a constitutive promoter AmyR2 was constructed, and then transformed into a GRAS microorganism Bacillus subtilis. The purified SMMA from the liquid cultures of Bacillus has a specific activity of 66.96U/mg, two times more than that from Escherichia coli. SMMA was further employed to catalyze the genistion glycosylation using γ-CD as both glucosyl donors and solubilizer. Glycosylated genistins with one to four additional α-glucosyls and a molar percentage of 69.87% in genistin reaction mixture were identified and quantified by HPLC-UV-MS. The glycosylated genistins at 0.2-1.2mM showed an enhanced DPPH free radical scavenging capacity. To our knowledge, this is the first report on the Bacillus expression of archaeal maltogenic amylase.

Abstract
Heme peroxidases, essential peroxide converting oxidoreductases are divided into four independently evolved superfamilies. Within the largest one – the peroxidase-catalase superfamily - two hybrid lineages were described recently. Whereas Hybrid A heme peroxidases represent intermediate enzymes between ascorbate peroxidases and cytochrome c peroxidases, Hybrid B heme peroxidases are unique fusion proteins comprised of a conserved N-terminal heme peroxidase domain and a C-terminal domain of various sugar binding motifs. So far these peculiar peroxidases are only found in the kingdom of Fungi. Here we present a phylogenetic reconstruction of the whole superfamily with focus on Hybrid B peroxidases. We analyse the domain assembly and putative structure and function of the newly discovered oligosaccharide binding domains. Two distinct carbohydrate binding modules (CBM21 and CBM34) are shown to occur in phytopathogenic ascomycetous orthologs of Hybrid B heme peroxidases only. Based on multiple sequence alignment and homology modeling the structure-function relationships are discussed with respect to physiological function. A concerted action of peroxide cleavage with specific cell-wall carbohydrate binding can support phytopathogens survival within the plant host.
