Abstract
Rebaudioside (Reb) M is an important sweetener with high sweetness, but its low content in Stevia rebaudiana and low catalytic capacity of the glycosyltransferases in heterologous microorganisms limit its production. In order to improve the catalytic efficiency of the conversion of stevioside to Reb M by Saccharomyces cerevisiae, several key issues must be resolved including knocking out endogenous hydrolases, enhancing glycosylation, and extending the enzyme catalytic process. Herein, endogenous glycosyl hydrolase SCW2 was knocked out in S. cerevisiae. The glycosylation process was enhanced by screening glycosyltransferases, and UGT91D2 from S. rebaudiana was identified as the optimum glycosyltransferase. The UDP-glucose supply was enhanced by overexpressing UGP1, and co-expressing UGT91D2 and UGT76G1 achieved efficient conversion of stevioside to Reb M. In order to extend the catalytic process, the silencing information regulator 2 (SIR2) which can prolong the growth cycle of S. cerevisiae was introduced. Finally, combining these modifications produced 12.5 g/L Reb M and the yield reached 77.9% in a 5 L bioreactor with 10.0 g/L stevioside, the highest titer from steviol glycosides to Reb M reported to date. The engineered strain could facilitate the industrial production of Reb M, and the strategies provide references for the production of steviol glycosides.

Int J Biol Macromol 2023; 249:125916. [PMID: 37527764 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.125916] [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: 03/11/2023] [Revised: 07/16/2023] [Accepted: 07/18/2023] [Indexed: 08/03/2023]
Abstract
Glycosyltransferases (GTs) catalyze the transfer of active monosaccharide donors to carbohydrates to create a wide range of oligosaccharide structures. GTs display strong regioselectivity and stereoselectivity in producing glycosidic bonds, making them extremely valuable in the in vitro synthesis of oligosaccharides. The synthesis of oligosaccharides by GTs often gives high yields; however, the enzyme activity may experience product inhibition. Additionally, the higher cost of nucleotide sugars limits the usage of GTs for oligosaccharide synthesis. In this review, we comprehensively discussed the structure and mechanism of GTs based on recent literature and the CAZY website data. To provide innovative ideas for the functional studies of GTs, we summarized several remarkable characteristics of GTs, including folding, substrate specificity, regioselectivity, donor sugar nucleotides, catalytic reversibility, and differences between GTs and GHs. In particular, we highlighted the recent advancements in multi-enzyme cascade reactions and co-immobilization of GTs, focusing on overcoming problems with product inhibition and cost issues. Finally, we presented various types of GT that have been successfully used for oligosaccharide synthesis. We concluded that there is still an opportunity for improvement in enzymatically produced oligosaccharide yield, and future research should focus on improving the yield and reducing the production cost.

Abstract
Rebaudioside M (Reb M), as a natural and healthy Stevia sweetener, is produced by two glycosyltransferases that catalyze the serial glycosylation of Rebaudioside A (Reb A) and Rebaudioside D (Reb D) in cascade. Meanwhile, it is of great importance in developing an immobilization strategy to improve the reusability of glycosyltransferases in reducing the production cost of Reb M. Here, the recombinant glycosyltransferases, i.e., OsEUGT11 (UGT1) and SrUGT76G1 (UGT2), were expressed in Escherichia coli and covalently immobilized onto chitosan beads. UGT1 and UGT2 were individually immobilized and co-immobilized onto the beads that catalyze Reb A to Reb M in one-pot. The co-immobilized enzymes system exhibited ∼3.2-fold higher activity than that of the mixed immobilized enzymes system. A fairly high Reb A conversion rate (97.3%) and a high Reb M yield of 72.2% (4.82 ± 0.11 g L-1) were obtained with a feeding Reb A concentration of 5 g L-1. Eventually, after 4 and 8 reused cycles, the co-immobilized enzymes retained 72.5% and 53.1% of their original activity, respectively, showing a high stability to minimize the total cost of enzymes and suggesting that the co-immobilized UGTs is of potentially signficant value for the production of Reb M.

Abstract
The jadomycins are an expanding class of compounds produced from Streptomyces venezuelae, by diverting the normal biosynthesis which provides the antibiotic chloramphenicol. In the presence of amino acids, and either by heat shock, supplementation with ethanol, or when phage SV1 is added to the culture, the formation of substituted jadomycins and benzo[b]phenanthridines can be achieved. The first part of this review provides details of intermediates involved in the biosynthesis of the jadomycins and the related benzo[b]phenanthridines. Both the jadomycins and the benzo[b]phenanthridines share biosynthetic pathways with a large class of naturally occurring compounds known as the angucyclines. The biosynthetic pathways diverge when it is postulated that an intermediate quinone, such as 3-(2-formyl-6-hydroxy-4-methylphenyl)-8-hydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinone-2-carboxylic acid is formed. The quinone then undergoes reactions with amino acids and derivatives in the culture medium to ultimately afford a library of jadomycins and a few benzo[b]phenanthridines. The second part of the review initially details synthetic efforts toward the synthesis of the naturally occurring benzo[b]phenanthridine, phenanthroviridin, and then outlines methods that have been used to assemble a selection of jadomycins. Total syntheses of jadomycin A and B, derived from l-isoleucine, are described. In addition, the synthesis of the aglycon of jadomycins M, W, S, and T is outlined. These four jadomycins were derived from l-methionine, l-tryptophan, l-serine and l-threonine respectively. As a result of these synthetic efforts, the structures of jadomycin S and T have been revised. The third part of the review describes the reported antibacterial and anticancer activities of both the jadomycins and some naturally occurring benzo[b]phenanthridines.

Abstract
GT1 family glycosyltansferase, Sv0189, from Streptomyces venezuelae ISP5230 (ATCC 10721) was characterized. The recombinantly produced protein Sv0189 possessed UDP-glycosyltransferase activity. Screening, using an assay employing unnatural nitrophenyl glycosides as activated donors, resulted in the discovery of a broad substrate scope with respect to both acceptor molecules and donor sugars. In addition to polyphenols, including anthraquinones, simple aromatics containing primary or secondary alcohols, a variety of complex natural products and synthetic drugs were glucosylated or xylosylated by Sv0189. Regioselectivity was established through the isolation and characterization of glucosylated products. Sv0189 and homologous proteins are widely distributed among Streptomyces species, and their apparent substrate promiscuity reveals potential for their development as biocatalysts for glycodiversification.

Abstract
The jadomycin family of natural products was discovered from Streptomyces venezuelae ISP5230 in the 1990s. Subsequent identification of the biosynthetic gene cluster along with synthetic efforts established that incorporation of an amino acid into the polyaromatic angucycline core occurs non-enzymatically. Over two decades, the precursor-directed biosynthetic potential of the jadomycins has been heavily exploited, generating a library exceeding 70 compounds. This review compiles the jadomycins that have been isolated and characterized to date; these include jadomycins incorporating proteinogenic and non-proteinogenic amino acids, semi-synthetic derivatives, biosynthetic shunt products, compounds isolated in structural gene deletion studies, and deoxysugar sugar variant jadomycins produced by deletion or heterologous expression of sugar biosynthetic genes.
