A polysaccharide utilization locus from Chitinophaga pinensis simultaneously targets chitin and β-glucans found in fungal cell walls. mSphere 2023; 8:e0024423.

Abstract
In nature, complex carbohydrates are rarely found as pure isolated polysaccharides. Instead, bacteria in competitive environments are presented with glycans embedded in heterogeneous matrices such as plant or microbial cell walls. Members of the Bacteroidota phylum thrive in such ecosystems because they are efficient at extracting nutrients from complex substrates, secreting consortia of synergistic enzymes to release metabolizable sugars. Carbohydrate-binding modules (CBMs) are used to target enzymes to substrates, enhancing reaction rate and product release. Additionally, genome organizational tools like polysaccharide utilization loci (PULs) ensure that the appropriate set of enzymes is produced when needed. In this study, we show that the soil bacterium Chitinophaga pinensis uses a PUL and several CBMs to coordinate the activities of enzymes targeting two distinct polysaccharides found in fungal cell walls. We describe the enzymatic activities and carbohydrate-binding behaviors of components of the fungal cell wall utilization locus (FCWUL), which uses multiple chitinases and one β-1,3-glucanase to hydrolyze two different substrates. Unusually, one of the chitinases is appended to a β-glucan-binding CBM, implying targeting to a bulk cell wall substrate rather than to the specific polysaccharide being hydrolyzed. Based on our characterization of the PUL's outer membrane sensor protein, we suggest that the FCWUL is activated by β-1,3-glucans, even though most of its enzymes are chitin-degrading. Our data showcase the complexity of polysaccharide deconstruction in nature and highlight an elegant solution for how multiple different glycans can be accessed using one enzymatic cascade. IMPORTANCE We report that the genome of the soil bacterium Chitinophaga pinensis encodes three multi-modular carbohydrate-active enzymes that work together to hydrolyze the major polysaccharide components found in fungal cell walls (FCWs). The enzymes are all encoded by one polysaccharide utilization locus and are co-expressed, potentially induced in the presence of β-1,3-glucans. We present biochemical characterization of each enzyme, including the appended carbohydrate-binding modules that likely tether the enzymes to a FCW substrate. Finally, we propose a model for how this so-called fungal cell wall utilization locus might enable C. pinensis to metabolize both chitin and β-1,3-glucans found in complex biomass in the soil.

Abstract
The genome of the soil Bacteroidota Chitinophaga pinensis encodes a large number of glycoside hydrolases (GHs) with noteworthy features and potentially novel functions. Several are predicted to be active on polysaccharide components of fungal and oomycete cell walls, such as chitin, β-1,3-glucan and β-1,6-glucan. While several fungal β-1,6-glucanase enzymes are known, relatively few bacterial examples have been characterised to date. We have previously demonstrated that C. pinensis shows strong growth using β-1,6-glucan as the sole carbon source, with the efficient release of oligosaccharides from the polymer. We here characterise the capacity of the C. pinensis secretome to hydrolyse the β-1,6-glucan pustulan and describe three distinct enzymes encoded by its genome, all of which show different levels of β-1,6-glucanase activity and which are classified into different GH families. Our data show that C. pinensis has multiple tools to deconstruct pustulan, allowing the species' broad utility of this substrate, with potential implications for bacterial biocontrol of pathogens via cell wall disruption. Oligosaccharides derived from fungal β-1,6-glucans are valuable in biomedical research and drug synthesis, and these enzymes could be useful tools for releasing such molecules from microbial biomass, an underexploited source of complex carbohydrates.

Abstract
Lignocellulose, the most prevalent biomass on earth, can be enzymatically converted into carbohydrates for bioethanol production and other uses. Among lignocellulosic enzymes, endoglucanase, xylanase, and laccase are the key enzymes, owing to their ability to disrupt the main structure of lignocellulose. Recently, new discovery methods have been established to obtain key lignocellulosic enzymes with excellent enzymatic properties. Molecular modification of enzymes to modulate their thermostability, catalytic activity, and substrate specificity has been performed with protein engineering technology. In addition, the enzyme expression has been effectively improved through expression element screening and host modification, as well as fermentation optimization. Immobilization of enzymes, use of surfactants, synergistic degradation, and optimization of reaction conditions have addressed the inefficiency of enzymatic saccharification. In this review, recent advances in key lignocellulosic enzymes are summarized, along with future prospects for the development of super-engineered strains and integrative technologies for enzymatic biomass saccharification.

Effect of carbohydrate binding modules alterations on catalytic activity of glycoside hydrolase family 6 exoglucanase from Chaetomium thermophilum to cellulose. Int J Biol Macromol 2021; 191:222-229. [PMID: 34508724 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2021.09.002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/28/2021] [Revised: 09/01/2021] [Accepted: 09/01/2021] [Indexed: 12/31/2022]
Abstract
Exoglucanase (CBH) is the rate limiting enzyme in the process of cellulose degradation. The carbohydrate binding module (CBM) can improve the accessibility of cellulase to substrate, thereby promoting the enzymatic hydrolysis of cellulase. In this study, the influence of CBM on the properties of GH6 exoglucanase from Chaetomium thermophilum (CtCBH) is systematically explored from three perspectives: the fusion of exogenous CBM, the exogenous CBM replacement of its own CBM, and the deletion of its own CBM. The parental and reconstructed CtCBH presented the same optimum pH (6.0) and temperature (60 °C) for maximum activity. Fusion of exogenous CBM increased the binding capacity of CtCBH to Avicel by 8% and 9%, respectively, but it had no significant effect on its catalytic activity. The exogenous CBM replacement of its own CBM resulted in a 12% reduction in the binding ability of CtCBH to Avicel, and a 26% reduction in the catalytic activity of Avicel. The deletion of its own CBM significantly reduced the binding ability of CtCBH to Avicel by approximately 53%, but its catalytic activity was not obviously reduced. These observations suggest that binding ability of CBM is not necessary for the catalysis of CtCBH.

Abstract
PcAxy43B is a modular protein comprising a catalytic domain of glycoside hydrolase family 43 (GH43), a family 6 carbohydrate-binding module (CBM6), and a family 36 carbohydrate-binding module (CBM36) and found to be a novel multifunctional xylanolytic enzyme from Paenibacillus curdlanolyticus B-6. This enzyme exhibited α-l-arabinofuranosidase, endoxylanase, and β-d-xylosidase activities. The α-l-arabinofuranosidase activity of PcAxy43B revealed a new property of GH43, via the release of both long-chain cereal arabinoxylan and short-chain arabinoxylooligosaccharide (AXOS), as well as release from both the C(O)2 and C(O)3 positions of AXOS, which is different from what has been seen for other arabinofuranosidases. PcAxy43B liberated a series of xylooligosaccharides (XOSs) from birchwood xylan and xylohexaose, indicating that PcAxy43B exhibited endoxylanase activity. PcAxy43B produced xylose from xylobiose and reacted with p-nitrophenyl-β-d-xylopyranoside as a result of β-xylosidase activity. PcAxy43B effectively released arabinose together with XOSs and xylose from the highly arabinosyl-substituted rye arabinoxylan. Moreover, PcAxy43B showed significant synergistic action with the trifunctional endoxylanase/β-xylosidase/α-l-arabinofuranosidase PcAxy43A and the endoxylanase Xyn10C from strain B-6, in which almost all products produced from rye arabinoxylan by these combined enzymes were arabinose and xylose. In addition, the presence of CBM36 was found to be necessary for the endoxylanase property of PcAxy43B. PcAxy43B is capable of hydrolyzing untreated cereal biomass, corn hull, and rice straw into XOSs and xylose. Hence, PcAxy43B, a significant accessory multifunctional xylanolytic enzyme, is a potential candidate for application in the saccharification of cereal biomass. IMPORTANCE Enzymatic saccharification of cereal biomass is a strategy for the production of fermented sugars from low-price raw materials. In the present study, PcAxy43B from P. curdlanolyticus B-6 was found to be a novel multifunctional α-l-arabinofuranosidase/endoxylanase/β-d-xylosidase enzyme of glycoside hydrolase family 43. It is effective in releasing arabinose, xylose, and XOSs from the highly arabinosyl-substituted rye arabinoxylan, which is usually resistant to hydrolysis by xylanolytic enzymes. Moreover, almost all products produced from rye arabinoxylan by the combination of PcAxy43B with the trifunctional xylanolytic enzyme PcAxy43A and the endoxylanase Xyn10C from strain B-6 were arabinose and xylose, which can be used to produce several value-added products. In addition, PcAxy43B is capable of hydrolyzing untreated cereal biomass into XOSs and xylose. Thus, PcAxy43B is an important multifunctional xylanolytic enzyme with high potential in biotechnology.

Abstract
Cellulose is a very abundant polymer that is found in nature. Cellulose has been used as a raw material for production of biofuels for many years. However, there are multiple processing steps that are required so that cellulose can be used as a raw material for biofuel production. One of the most important steps is the breakdown of cellulose into intermediate sugars which can then be a viable substrate for biofuel production. Cellulases are enzymes which play a role in the catalysis of the breakdown of cellulose into glucose. Nanomaterials and micromaterials have been gaining a lot of attention over the past few years for its potential in immobilizing enzymes for industrial procedures. Immobilization of enzymes on these nanomaterials has been observed to be of great value due to the improvement in thermal stability, pH stability, regenerative capacity, increase in activity and the reusability of enzymes. Similarly, there have been multiple reports of cellulase enzymes being immobilized on various nanoparticles. The immobilization of these cellulase enzymes have resulted in very efficient processing and provide a great and economic solution for the processing of cellulose for biofuel production. Hence in this paper, we review and discuss the various advantages and disadvantages of enzymes on various available nanomaterials.

Abstract
Extensive decoration of backbones is a major factor resulting in resistance of enzymatic conversion in hemicellulose and other branched polysaccharides. Employing debranching enzymes is the main strategy to overcome this kind of recalcitrance at present. A carbohydrate-binding module (CBM) is a contiguous amino acid sequence that can promote the binding of enzymes to various carbohydrates, thereby facilitating enzymatic hydrolysis. According to previous studies, CBMs can be classified into four types based on their preference in ligand type, where Type III and IV CBMs prefer to branched polysaccharides than the linear and thus are able to specifically enhance the hydrolysis of substrates containing side chains. With a role in dominating the hydrolysis of branched substrates, Type III and IV CBMs could represent a non-catalytic approach in overcoming side-chain recalcitrance.

Abstract
Lignocellulosic biomass (LCB) is a low-cost and abundant source of fermentable sugars. Enzymatic hydrolysis is one of the main ways to obtain sugars from biomass, but most of the polysaccharide-degrading enzymes are poorly efficient on LCB and cellulases with higher performances are required. In this study, we designed a chimeric protein by adding the carbohydrate binding module (CBM) of the cellulosomal enzyme CtLic26A-Cel5E (endoglucanase H or CelH) from Clostridium (Ruminiclostridium) thermocellum to the C-terminus of Dtur CelA, an interesting hyperthermostable endoglucanase from Dictyoglomus turgidum. The activity and binding rate of both native and chimeric enzyme were evaluated on soluble and insoluble polysaccharides. The addition of a CBM resulted in a cellulase with enhanced stability at extreme pHs, higher affinity and activity on insoluble cellulose.
