Abstract
Bacteria have acquired sophisticated mechanisms for assembling and disassembling polysaccharides of different chemistry. α-d-Glucose homopolysaccharides, so-called α-glucans, are the most widespread polymers in nature being key components of microorganisms. Glycogen functions as an intracellular energy storage while some bacteria also produce extracellular assorted α-glucans. The classical bacterial glycogen metabolic pathway comprises the action of ADP-glucose pyrophosphorylase and glycogen synthase, whereas extracellular α-glucans are mostly related to peripheral enzymes dependent on sucrose. An alternative pathway of glycogen biosynthesis, operating via a maltose 1-phosphate polymerizing enzyme, displays an essential wiring with the trehalose metabolism to interconvert disaccharides into polysaccharides. Furthermore, some bacteria show a connection of intracellular glycogen metabolism with the genesis of extracellular capsular α-glucans, revealing a relationship between the storage and structural function of these compounds. Altogether, the current picture shows that bacteria have evolved an intricate α-glucan metabolism that ultimately relies on the evolution of a specific enzymatic machinery. The structural landscape of these enzymes exposes a limited number of core catalytic folds handling many different chemical reactions. In this Review, we present a rationale to explain how the chemical diversity of α-glucans emerged from these systems, highlighting the underlying structural evolution of the enzymes driving α-glucan bacterial metabolism.

Abstract
Flavonoids and their glycosides are abundant in many plant-based foods. The (de)glycosylation of flavonoids by retaining glycoside hydrolases has recently attracted much interest in basic and applied research, including the possibility of altering the glycosylation pattern of flavonoids. Research in this area is driven by significant differences in physicochemical, organoleptic, and bioactive properties between flavonoid aglycones and their glycosylated counterparts. While many flavonoid glycosides are present in nature at low levels, some occur in substantial quantities, making them readily available low-cost glycosyl donors for transglycosylations. Retaining glycosidases can be used to synthesize natural and novel glycosides, which serve as standards for bioactivity experiments and analyses, using flavonoid glycosides as glycosyl donors. Engineered glycosidases also prove valuable for the synthesis of flavonoid glycosides using chemically synthesized activated glycosyl donors. This review outlines the bioactivities of flavonoids and their glycosides and highlights the applications of retaining glycosidases in the context of flavonoid glycosides, acting as substrates, products, or glycosyl donors in deglycosylation or transglycosylation reactions.

Abstract
Mutation Q345F in sucrose phosphorylase from Bifidobacterium adolescentis (BaSP) has shown to allow efficient (+)-catechin glucosylation yielding a regioisomeric mixture: (+)-catechin-3'-O-α-D-glucopyranoside, (+)-catechin-5-O-α-D-glucopyranoside and (+)-catechin-3',5-O-α-D-diglucopyranoside with a ratio of 51 : 25 : 24. Here, we efficiently increased the control of (+)-catechin glucosylation regioselectivity with a new variant Q345F/P134D. The same products were obtained with a ratio of 82 : 9 : 9. Thanks to bioinformatics models, we successfully explained the glucosylation favoured at the OH-3' position due to the mutation P134D.

Abstract
α-Arbutin is extensively used in cosmetic industries. The lack of highly active enzymes and the cytotoxicity of hydroquinone limit the biosynthesis of α-arbutin. In this study, a whole-cell biocatalytic approach based on enzyme engineering and engineered cell modification was identified as effective in enhancing α-arbutin production. First, a sucrose phosphorylase (SPase) mutant with higher enzyme activity was obtained by experimental screening. Next, to avoid the oxidation of hydroquinone, we established an anaerobic process to improve the robustness of the cells by knocking out lytC, sdpC, and skfA in Bacillus subtilis and overcoming the inhibitory effect of a high concentration of hydroquinone. Finally, the engineered strain was used for biotransformation in a 5 L fermenter with batch feeding for 24 h. The final yield of α-arbutin achieved was 129.6 g/L, which may provide a basis for the large-scale industrial production of α-arbutin.

Abstract
Sucrose phosphorylase (SPase) has a remarkable capacity to synthesize numerous glucosides from abundantly available sucrose under mild conditions but suffers from specificity and regioselectivity issues. In this study, a loop engineering strategy was introduced to enhance the regioselectivity and substrate specificity of SPase for the efficient synthesis of 2-O-α-D-glucopyranosyl-L-ascorbic acid (AA-2G) via L-ascorbic acid (L-AA). P134, L341, and L343 were identified as "hotspots" for modulating the flexibility of loops, which significantly influenced the H-bonding network of L-AA in the active site, as well as the entrance of the substrate channel, thereby altering the regioselectivity and substrate specificity. Finally, the mutant L341V/L343F, with near-perfect control of the selectivity synthesis of the 2-OH group of L-AA (> 99%), was obtained. The AA-2G production by the mutant reached 244 g L-1 in a whole-cell biotransformation system, and the conversion rate of L-AA reached 64%, which is the highest level reported to date. Our work also provides a successful loop engineering case for modulating the regioselectivity and specificity of sucrose phosphorylase. KEY POINTS: • "Hotspots" were identified in the flexible loops of sucrose phosphorylase. • Mutants exhibited improved regioselectivity and specificity against L-ascorbic acid. • Synthesized AA-2G with high yield and regioselectivity by whole-cell of mutant.

Abstract
Mainly due to their great antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anticancer capacities, natural polyphenolic compounds have many properties with important applications in the food, cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries. Unfortunately, these molecules have very low water solubility and bioavailability. Glucosylation of polyphenols is an excellent alternative to overcome these drawbacks. Specifically, for the natural polyphenol resveratrol this process is very inefficiently performed by the native enzyme sucrose phosphorylase (BaSP) from the organism Bifidobacterium adolescentis (4%). However, the Q345F point mutation of the sucrose phosphorylase (BaSP Q345F) has been shown to achieve 97% monoglucosylation for the same substrate and the mechanism is still unknown. This report presents an analysis of MD simulations performed with the BaSP Q345F and BaSP systems in complex with resveratrol monoglucoside, followed by a study of the transglucosylation reaction of the mutant enzyme BaSP Q345F with resveratrol through the QM/MM hybrid method. With respect to the MD simulations, both protein structures showed greater similarity to the phosphate-binding conformation, and a larger active site and conformational changes in certain structures were found for the mutant system compared with the native enzyme; all this is in agreement with experimental data. With regard to the QM/MM calculations, the structure of an oxocarbenium ion-like transition state and the minimum energy adiabatic path (MEP) that connects the reactants with the products were obtained with a 20.3 kcal mol-1 energy barrier, which fits within the known experimental range for this type of enzyme. Finally, the analyses performed along the MEP suggest a concerted but asynchronous mechanism. In particular, they show that the interactions involving the residues of the catalytic triad (Asp192, Glu232, and Asp290) together with two water molecules at the active site strongly contribute to the stabilization of the transition state. The understanding of this glucosylation mechanism of the polyphenol resveratrol carried out by the mutant sucrose phosphorylase enzyme presented in this work could serve as the basis for subsequent studies on related carbohydrate-active enzymes.

Abstract
2-O-α-d-Glucopyranosyl-l-ascorbic acid (AA-2G) is an ideal substitute for l-ascorbic acid because of its remarkable stability and improved biological activity, which can be easily applied in cosmetic, food, and medicine fields. However, impurity identification and control are significant procedures during the manufacturing of AA-2G. This study assessed a manufacturing routine of AA-2G synthesized by sucrose phosphorylase (SPase). First, three unknown process-related impurities were observed, which were further identified as 3-O-α-d-glucopyranosyl- l-ascorbic acid (impurity I), 2-O-α-d-glucopyranosyl-l-dehydroascorbic acid (impurity II), and 13-O-α-d-glucopyranosyl-2-O-α-d-glucopyranosyl-l-ascorbic acid (impurity III), respectively. Second, a comprehensive formation pathway of impurities was elucidated, and specific strategies corresponding to controlling each impurity were also proposed. Specifically, the content of impurity I can be reduced by 50% by fine tuning reaction conditions. The impurity II-free purification process was also achieved by applying a low concentration of alkali. Finally, a semi-rational design was introduced, and a single mutant L343F was obtained by site-directed mutagenesis, which reduced impurities I and III by 63.9 and 100%, respectively, without affecting the transglycosylation activity. It is expected that the reported impurity identification and control strategies during the AA-2G production will facilitate its industrial production.

Abstract
Among carbohydrate active enzymes, glycoside phosphorylases (GPs) are valuable catalysts for white biotechnologies, due to their exquisite capacity to efficiently re-modulate oligo- and poly-saccharides, without the need for costly activated sugars as substrates. The reversibility of the phosphorolysis reaction, indeed, makes them attractive tools for glycodiversification. However, discovery of new GP functions is hindered by the difficulty in identifying them in sequence databases, and, rather, relies on extensive and tedious biochemical characterization studies. Nevertheless, recent advances in automated tools have led to major improvements in GP mining, activity predictions, and functional screening. Implementation of GPs into innovative in vitro and in cellulo bioproduction strategies has also made substantial advances. Herein, we propose to discuss the latest developments in the strategies employed to efficiently discover GPs and make the best use of their exceptional catalytic properties for glycoside bioproduction.

Abstract
Disaccharide phosphorylases (DSPs) are carbohydrate-active enzymes with outstanding potential for the biocatalytic conversion of common table sugar into products with attractive properties. They are modular enzymes that form active homo-oligomers. From a mechanistic as well as a structural point of view, they are similar to glycoside hydrolases or glycosyltransferases. As the majority of DSPs show strict stereo- and regiospecificities, these enzymes were used to synthesize specific disaccharides. Currently, protein engineering of DSPs is pursued in different laboratories to broaden the donor and acceptor substrate specificities or improve the industrial particularity of naturally existing enzymes, to eventually generate a toolbox of new catalysts for glycoside synthesis. Herein we review the characteristics and classifications of reported DSPs and the glycoside products that they have been used to synthesize.

Abstract
Sucrose phosphorylases are carbohydrate-active enzymes with outstanding potential for the biocatalytic conversion of common table sugar into products with attractive properties. They belong to the glycoside hydrolase family GH13, where they are found in subfamily 18. In bacteria, these enzymes catalyse the phosphorolysis of sucrose to yield α-glucose 1-phosphate and fructose. However, sucrose phosphorylases can also be applied as versatile transglucosylases for the synthesis of valuable glycosides and sugars because their broad promiscuity allows them to transfer the glucosyl group of sucrose to a diverse collection of compounds other than phosphate. Numerous process and enzyme engineering studies have expanded the range of possible applications of sucrose phosphorylases ever further. Moreover, it has recently been discovered that family GH13 also contains a few novel phosphorylases that are specialised in the phosphorolysis of sucrose 6F-phosphate, glucosylglycerol or glucosylglycerate. In this review, we provide an overview of the progress that has been made in our understanding and exploitation of sucrose phosphorylases and related enzymes over the past ten years.

Structural Comparison of a Promiscuous and a Highly Specific Sucrose 6 F-Phosphate Phosphorylase. Int J Mol Sci 2019; 20:ijms20163906. [PMID: 31405215 PMCID: PMC6720575 DOI: 10.3390/ijms20163906] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/17/2019] [Revised: 08/06/2019] [Accepted: 08/08/2019] [Indexed: 12/17/2022] Open
Abstract
In family GH13 of the carbohydrate-active enzyme database, subfamily 18 contains glycoside phosphorylases that act on α-sugars and glucosides. Because their phosphorolysis reactions are effectively reversible, these enzymes are of interest for the biocatalytic synthesis of various glycosidic compounds. Sucrose 6F-phosphate phosphorylases (SPPs) constitute one of the known substrate specificities. Here, we report the characterization of an SPP from Ilumatobacter coccineus with a far stricter specificity than the previously described promiscuous SPP from Thermoanaerobacterium thermosaccharolyticum. Crystal structures of both SPPs were determined to provide insight into their similarities and differences. The residues responsible for binding the fructose 6-phosphate group in subsite +1 were found to differ considerably between the two enzymes. Furthermore, several variants that introduce a higher degree of substrate promiscuity in the strict SPP from I. coccineus were designed. These results contribute to an expanded structural knowledge of enzymes in subfamily GH13_18 and facilitate their rational engineering.

Abstract
The sucrose phosphorylase from Bifidobacterium adolescentis (BaSP) can be used as a transglucosylase for the production of rare sugars. We designed variants of BaSP for the efficient synthesis of nigerose from sucrose and glucose, thereby adding to the inventory of rare sugars that can conveniently be produced from bulk sugars.

Abstract
Despite their popularity as enzyme engineering targets structural information about Sucrose Phosphorylases remains scarce. We recently clarified that the Q345F variant of Bifidobacterium adolescentis Sucrose Phosphorylase is able to accept large polyphenolic substrates like resveratrol via a domain shift. Here we present a crystal structure of this variant in a conformation suitable for the accommodation of the donor substrate sucrose in excellent agreement with the wild type structure. Remarkably, this conformation does not feature the previously observed domain shift which is therefore reversible and part of a dynamic process rather than a static phenomenon. This crystallographic snapshot completes our understanding of the catalytic cycle of this useful variant and will allow for a more rational design of further generations of Sucrose Phosphorylase variants.
