Carrier-free immobilized enzymatic reactor based on CipA-fused carbonyl reductase for efficient synthesis of chiral alcohol with cofactor self-sufficiency. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 276:133873. [PMID: 39013505 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.133873] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/18/2024] [Revised: 06/21/2024] [Accepted: 07/12/2024] [Indexed: 07/18/2024]
Abstract
In this study, based on the self-assembly strategy, we fused CipA with carbonyl reductase LXCARS154Y derived from Leifsonia xyli by gene coding, and successfully performed the carrier-free immobilization of LXCARS154Y. The immobilized enzyme was then characterized using scanning electron microscope (SEM), dynamic light scattering (DLS) and fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). Compared with the free enzyme, the immobilized LXCARS154Y exhibited a 2.3-fold improvement in the catalytic efficiency kcat/km for the synthesis of a chiral pharmaceutical intermediate (R)-3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl ethanol ((R)-BTPE) by reducing 3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)acetophenone (BTAP). Moreover, the immobilized enzyme showed the enhanced stability while maintaining over 61 % relative activity after 18 cycles of batch reaction. Further, when CipA-fused carbonyl reductase was employed for (R)-BTPE production in a continuous flow reaction, almost complete yield (97.0 %) was achieved within 7 h at 2 M (512.3 g/L) of BTAP concentration, with a space-time yield of 1717.1 g·L-1·d-1. Notably, we observed the retention of cofactor NADH by CipA-based enzyme aggregates, resulting in a higher total turnover number (TTN) of 4815 to facilitate this bioreductive process. This research developed a concise strategy for efficient preparation of chiral intermediate with cofactor self-sufficiency via continuous flow biocatalysis, and the relevant mechanism was also explored.

ADVANCED MATERIALS (DEERFIELD BEACH, FLA.) 2023; 35:e2212024. [PMID: 36932052 DOI: 10.1002/adma.202212024] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/22/2022] [Revised: 02/20/2023] [Indexed: 06/09/2023]
Abstract
DNA nanotechnology allows for the fabrication of nanometer-sized objects with high precision and selective addressability as a result of the programmable hybridization of complementary DNA strands. Such structures can template the formation of other materials, including metals and complex silica nanostructures, where the silica shell simultaneously acts to protect the DNA from external detrimental factors. However, the formation of silica nanostructures with site-specific addressability has thus far not been explored. Here, it is shown that silica nanostructures templated by DNA origami remain addressable for post silicification modification with guest molecules even if the silica shell measures several nm in thickness. The conjugation of fluorescently labeled oligonucleotides is used to different silicified DNA origami structures carrying a complementary ssDNA handle as well as DNA-PAINT super-resolution imaging to show that ssDNA handles remain unsilicified and thus ensure retained addressability. It is also demonstrated that not only handles, but also ssDNA scaffold segments within a DNA origami nanostructure remain accessible, allowing for the formation of dynamic silica nanostructures. Finally, the power of this approach is demonstrated by forming 3D DNA origami crystals from silicified monomers. These results thus present a fully site-specifically addressable silica nanostructure with complete control over size and shape.

Abstract
Cells have developed intelligent systems to implement the complex and efficient enzyme cascade reactions via the strategies of organelles, bacterial microcompartments and enzyme complexes. The scaffolds such as the membrane or protein in the cell are believed to assist the co-localization of enzymes and enhance the enzymatic reactions. Inspired by nature, enzymes have been located on a wide variety of carriers, among which DNA scaffolds attract great interest for their programmability and addressability. Integrating these properties with the versatile DNA–protein conjugation methods enables the spatial arrangement of enzymes on the DNA scaffold with precise control over the interenzyme distance and enzyme stoichiometry. In this review, we survey the reactions of a single type of enzyme on the DNA scaffold and discuss the proposed mechanisms for the catalytic enhancement of DNA-scaffolded enzymes. We also review the current progress of enzyme cascade reactions on the DNA scaffold and discuss the factors enhancing the enzyme cascade reaction efficiency. This review highlights the mechanistic aspects for the modulation of enzymatic reactions on the DNA scaffold.

Abstract
Glutaminase (EC 3.5.1.2) can catalyze the deamidation of glutamine, which has been used to improve umami taste in oriental fermented foods. However, a high salt concentration is still a fundamental challenge for glutaminase application, especially in soy sauce production. To improve the salt tolerance of glutaminase, the self-assembling amphiphilic peptides EAK16 and ELK16 were fused to the N-terminus of a mutant (E3C/E55F/D213T) derived from Bacillus subtilis glutaminase, yielding the fusion enzymes EAK16-E3C/E55F/D213T and ELK16-E3C/E55F/D213T, respectively. As ELK16-E3C/E55F/D213T was expressed as insoluble active inclusion bodies, only the purified EAK16-E3C/E55F/D213T was subjected to further analyses. After the incubation with 18% (w/v) NaCl for 200 min, the residual activities of EAK16-E3C/E55F/D213T in a NaCl-free solution reached 43.6%, while E3C/E55F/D213T was completely inactivated. When the enzyme reaction was conducted in the presence of 20% NaCl, the relative activity of EAK16-E3C/E55F/D213T was 0.47-fold higher than that of E3C/E55F/D213T. As protein surface hydrophobicity and protein particle size analysis suggested, oligomerization may play an important role in the salt-tolerance enhancement of the fusions. Furthermore, EAK16-E3C/E55F/D213T achieved a 0.88-fold increase in the titer of glutamic acid in a model system of soy sauce fermentation compared to E3C/E55F/D213T. Therefore, the fusion with self-assembling amphiphilic peptides is an efficient strategy to improve the salt-tolerance of glutaminase.

Abstract
Recognition-driven modification has been emerging as a novel approach to modifying biomolecular targets of interest site-specifically and efficiently. To this end, protein modular adaptors (MAs) are the ideal reaction model for recognition-driven modification of DNA as they consist of both a sequence-specific DNA-binding domain (DBD) and a self-ligating protein-tag. Coupling DNA recognition by DBD and the chemoselective reaction of the protein tag could provide a highly efficient sequence-specific reaction. However, combining an MA consisting of a reactive protein-tag and its substrate, for example, SNAP-tag and benzyl guanine (BG), revealed rather nonselective reaction with DNA. Therefore new substrates of SNAP-tag have been designed to realize sequence-selective rapid crosslinking reactions of MAs with SNAP-tag. The reactions of substrates with SNAP-tag were verified by kinetic analyses to enable the sequence-selective crosslinking reaction of MA. The new substrate enables the distinctive orthogonality of SNAP-tag against CLIP-tag to achieve orthogonal DNA-protein crosslinking by six unique MAs.

Abstract
Structural programmability and accurate addressability of DNA nanostructures are ideal characteristics for the platform of arranging enzymes with the nanoscale precision. In this study, a three-dimensional DNA scaffold was designed to enable a dynamic shape transition from an open plate-like structure to its closed state of a hexagonal prism structure. The two domains in the open state were folded together to transform into the closed state by hybridization of complementary short DNA closing keys at both of the facing edges in over 90% yield. The shape transformation of the DNA scaffold was extensively studied by means of the fluorescence energy transfer measurement, atomic force microscope images, and agarose gel electrophoretic analyses. A dimeric enzyme xylitol dehydrogenase was assembled on the DNA scaffold in its open state in a high-loading yield. The enzyme loaded on the scaffold was subsequently transformed to its closed state by the addition of short DNA closing keys. The enzyme encapsulated in the closed state displayed comparable activity to that in the open state, ensuring that the catalytic activity of the enzyme was well maintained in the DNA nanocarrier. The nanocarrier with efficient encapsulation ability is potentially applicable for drug delivery, biosensing, biocatalytic, and diagnostic tools.

Abstract
The catalytic enhancements of enzymes loaded on DNA nanostructures have been attributed to the characteristics provided by highly negative charges on the surface of the DNA scaffold, such as the modulation of the local pH near enzymes. In this study, two types of enzymes with optimal activity at pH 6 and 8 equally displayed significant catalytic enhancements on the DNA scaffold surface. By using a ratiometric pH indicator, a lower local pH shift of 0.8 was observed near the DNA scaffold surface. The postulated local pH change near the DNA scaffold surface is unlikely to play a general role in enhancing the activity of the scaffolded enzymes.

Abstract
Artificial construction of spherical protein assemblies has attracted considerable attention due to its potential use in nanocontainers, nanocarriers, and nanoreactors. In this work, we demonstrate a novel strategy to construct peptide nanocapsules (artificial viral capsids) decorated with enzymes via interactions between His-tag and Ni-NTA. A β-annulus peptide derived from the tomato bushy stunt virus was modified with Ni-NTA at the C-terminus, which is directed toward the exterior surface of the artificial viral capsid. The β-annulus peptide bearing Ni-NTA at the C-terminus self-assembled into capsids of about 50 nm in diameter. The Ni-NTA-displayed capsids were complexed with recombinant horseradish peroxidase (HRP) with a C-terminal His-tag which was expressed in Escherichia coli. The β-annulus peptide-HRP complex formed spherical assemblies whose sizes were 30–90 nm, with the ζ-potential revealing that the HRP was decorated on the outer surface of the capsid.
