Abstract
This review focuses on the applications of polygalacturonase (PG), one of the most commercially produced enzymes on the biocatalyst market, in the food, beverage, feed, textile, and paper industries. Most PGs are acidic mesophilic enzymes, as shown by a summary of their biochemical properties. However, the acidic PGs discovered to date are insufficiently effective for industrial applications. The sequence and structural characteristics of thermophilic PGs are analyzed based on the results of extensive discussions regarding the catalytic mechanism and structural characteristics of PGs with shared right-handed parallel β-helical structures. In addition, the molecular modification methods for obtaining thermostable PGs are systematically presented. Notably, the demand for alkaline heat-resistant PGs has increased significantly concurrent with the biomanufacturing industry development. Therefore, this review also provides a theoretical guideline for mining heat-resistant PG gene resources and modifying PG thermostability.

Abstract
Thermostable enzymes have many advantages for industrial applications. Therefore, in this study, computer-aided design technology was used to improve the thermostability of a highly active endo-polygalacturonase from Talaromyces leycettanus JCM12802 at an optimal temperature of 70 °C. The melting temperature and specific activity of the obtained mutant T316C/G344C were increased by 10 °C and 36.5%, respectively, compared with the wild-type enzyme. The crystal structure of the T316C/G344C mutant showed no formation of a disulfide bond between the introduced cysteines, indicating a different mechanism than the conventional mechanism underlying improved enzyme thermostability. The cysteine substitutions directly formed a new alkyl hydrophobic interaction and caused conformational changes in the side chains of the adjacent residues Asn315 and Thr343, which in turn caused a local reconstruction of hydrogen bonds. This method greatly improved the thermostability of the enzyme without affecting its activity; thus, our findings are of great significance for both theoretical research and practical applications.
