Abstract
Withanolides are steroidal lactones with diverse bioactive potential and their production from plant sources varies with genotype, age, culture conditions, and geographical region. Endophytic fungi serve as an alternative source to produce withanolides, like their host plant, Withania somnifera (L.) Dunal. The present study aimed to isolate endophytic fungi capable of producing withanolides, characterization and investigation of biological activities of these molecules. The methanolic fungal crude extract of one of the fungal isolates WSE16 showed maximum withanolide production (219 mg/L). The fungal isolate WSE16 was identified as Penicillium oxalicum based on its morphological and internal transcribed spacer (ITS) sequence analysis and submitted in NCBI (accession number OR888725). The methanolic crude extract of P. oxalicum was further purified by column chromatography, and collected fractions were assessed for the presence of withanolides. Fractions F3 and F4 showed a higher content of withanolides (51.8 and 59.1 mg/L, respectively) than other fractions. Fractions F3 and F4 exhibited antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus with an IC50 of 23.52 and 17.39 µg/ml, respectively. These fractions also showed antioxidant activity (DPPH assay with IC50 of 39.42 and 38.71 µg/ml, superoxide anion scavenging assay with IC50 of 41.10 and 38.84 µg/ml, and reducing power assay with IC50 of 42.61 and 41.40 µg/ml, respectively) and acetylcholinesterase inhibitory activity (IC50 of 30.34 and 22.05 µg/ml, respectively). The withanolides present in fraction 3 and fraction 4 were identified as (20S, 22R)-1a-Acetoxy-27-hydroxywitha-5, 24-dienolide-3b-(O-b-D-glucopyranoside) and withanamide A, respectively, using UV, FTIR, HRMS, and NMR analysis. These results suggest that P. oxalicum, an endophytic fungus isolated from W. somnifera, is a potential source for producing bioactive withanolides.

World J Microbiol Biotechnol 2023; 39:344. [PMID: 37843698 DOI: 10.1007/s11274-023-03770-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/25/2023] [Accepted: 09/15/2023] [Indexed: 10/17/2023]
Abstract
Bifidobacterium is a major probiotic of intestinal gut flora and exerts many physiological activities, and it is widely applied in the fields of food and medicine. As an important part of Bifidobacterium, glycoside hydrolase plays a role in its physiological activity. With the continuous development and improvement of genetic engineering technology, research on this type of enzyme will play a crucial role in promoting the further development of Bifidobacterium in the field of probiotics. In this review, the preparation methods, enzymatic properties, and functions of glycoside hydrolase extracted from Bifidobacterium are described and summarized. The common method for preparing glycoside hydrolase derived from Bifidobacterium is heterologous expression in Escherichia coli BL21. The optimal pH range for these glycoside hydrolase enzymes is between 4.5 and 7.5; the optimal temperature is between 30 and 50 °C, which is close to the optimal growth condition of Bifidobacterium. Based on substrate specificity, these glycoside hydrolase could hydrolyze synthetic substrates and natural oligosaccharides, including a series of pNP artificial substrates, disaccharide, and trisaccharides, while they have little ability to hydrolyze polysaccharide substrates. This review will be expected to provide a basis for the development of Bifidobacterium as a probiotic element.

Abstract
This study reports a novel BglA9 gene of 1345 bp encoding β-glucosidase from Anoxybacillus ayderensis A9, which was amplified and expressed in E. coli BL21 (DE3): pLysS cells, purified with Ni-NTA column having molecular weight of 52.6 kDa and was used in the bioconversion of polydatin to resveratrol. The kinetic parameters values using pNPG as substrate were Km (0.28 mM), Vmax (43.8 μmol/min/mg), kcat (38.43 s-1) and kcat/Km (135.5 s-1 mM-1). The BglA9 was active in a broad pH range and had an activity half-life around 24 h at 50 °C. The de-glycosylation efficiency of BglA9 for polydatin was determined by estimating the amount of glucose released after enzymatic reaction by a dinitrosalicylic acid (DNS) assay. The kinetic parameters of BglA9 for polydatin were 5.5 mM, 20.84 μmol/min/mg, 18.28 s-1and 3.27 s-1 mM-1 for Km, Vmax, kcat, and kcat/Km values, respectively. The Ki value for glucose was determined to be 1.7 M. The residues Gln19, His120, Glu355, Glu409, Glu178, Asn222 may play a crucial role in the deglycosylation as revealed by the 3D structure of enzyme docked with polydatin.

Cloning, expression, biochemical characterization, and molecular docking studies of a novel glucose tolerant β-glucosidase from Saccharomonospora sp. NB11. Enzyme Microb Technol 2021; 148:109799.

Abstract
Most of the presently known β-glucosidases are sensitive to end-product inhibition by glucose, restricting their potential use in many industrial applications. Identification of novel glucose tolerant β-glucosidase can prove a pivotal solution to eliminate end-product inhibition and enhance the overall lignocellulosic saccharification process. In this study, a novel gene encoding β-glucosidase BglNB11 of 1405bp was identified in the genome of Saccharomonospora sp. NB11 and was successfully cloned and heterologously expressed in E. coli BL21 (DE3).The presence of conserved amino acids; NEPW and TENG indicated that BglNB11 belonged to GH1 β-glucosidases. The recombinant enzyme was purified using a Ni-NTA column, with the molecular mass of 51 kDa, using SDS-PAGE analysis. BglNB11 showed optimum activity at 40 °C and pH 7 and did not require any tested co-factors for activation. The kinetic values, Km, Vmax, kcat, and kcat/Km of purified enzyme were 0.4037 mM, 5735.8 μmol/min/mg, 5042.16 s-1 and 12487.71 s-1 mM-1, respectively. The enzyme was not inhibited by glucose to a concentration of 4 M but was slightly stimulated in the presence of glucose. Molecular docking of BglNB11 with glucose suggested that the relative binding position of glucose in the active site channel might be responsible for modulating end product tolerance and stimulation. β-glucosidase from BglNB11 is an excellent enzyme with high catalytic efficiency and enhanced glucose tolerance compared to many known glucose tolerant β-glucosidases. These unique properties of BglNB11 make it a prime candidate to be utilized in many biotechnological applications.

Enzyme Microb Technol 2020; 144:109726. [PMID: 33541569 DOI: 10.1016/j.enzmictec.2020.109726] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/31/2020] [Revised: 11/25/2020] [Accepted: 12/10/2020] [Indexed: 11/26/2022]
Abstract
α-l-arabinofuranosidases (EC 3.2.1.55; AFs) cause the release of arabinosyl residues from hemicellulose polymers such as xylans, and are receiving increased levels of research attention as they could be applied in a range of processes that involve the enzymatic degradation of xylans. The secretory production of bacterial AFs has not been attempted previously. In this study, we designed a unique induction system for the production of a recombinant AF in Bacillus subtilis in order to exploit its enzymic degradation of wheat bran. We found that non-starch phytochemicals were more efficient than d-xylose when inducing the expression of T7 RNA polymerase and driving the transcription of AF by the T7 promoter. The host cell, B. subtilis (ATCC 6051a-derived strain 164T7P) was engineered to incorporate a DNA cassette that expressed T7 RNA polymerase under the control of a d-xylose inducible promoter (PxylA). The T7 promoter engineered into 164T7P was initially tested and compared with P43 in terms of GFP expression; we found that the expression level of GFP by the T7 promoter was ten-fold higher than that achieved by P43. When cultured in a flask with gentle shaking, and with d-xylose as an inducer, the recombinant strain successfully expressed arbf, a family 51 (GH 51) glycoside hydrolase from Bacillus licheniformis, and secreted 141.4 ± 4.8 U/mL of enzyme, with a Km of 1.4 ± 0.1 mM and a kcat of 139.4 s-1. However, the protein was devoid of a secretary signal peptide. When cultures were supplemented with wheat bran, the maximal yield of the secreted AF reached 194.8 ± 4.1 U/mL. The results provide a foundation for the high level production of heterologous proteins using wheat bran as the inducer in B. subtilis.

Abstract
β-Glucosidases play an important role in food industry. Oenococcus oeni are typical lactic acid bacteria that initiate malolactic fermentation of wines. 35 β-glucosidases from O. oeni were selected and their conserved domains and evolutionary relationships were further explored in this study. The homology analysis results indicated that 35 β-glucosidases were basically derived from GH1 and GH3 family. A novel β-glucosidase was successfully expressed and characterized. The recombinant protein, referred to as BGL0224, consisted of a total 480 amino acids with an apparent molecular weight of 55.15 kDa and was classified as GH1 family. It achieved the highest activity at pH 5.0 and 50 °C. The activity and stability were significantly increased when 12% ethanol was supplemented to the enzyme. Using p-NPG as substrate, the Km, Vmax and Kcat of BGL0224 were 0.34 mM, 382.81 U/mg and 351.88 s-1, respectively. In all, BGL0224 has good application prospects in food industry.

Abstract
β-1,4-glucosidase (HtBgl) of family 1 glycoside hydrolase from Hungateiclostridium thermocellum was cloned in pET28a(+) vector, expressed, biochemically and structurally characterized. HtBgl displayed 67 U/mg activity against 4-nitrophenyl-β-d-glucopyranoside, followed by 180 U/mg against cellobiose and 42 U/mg activity against 4-nitrophenyl-β-d-galactopyranoside. HtBgl displayed an optimum temperature of 65 °C and an optimum pH of 6.0. HtBgl was stable in the pH range, 4.0-8.0 and displayed the thermostability up to 60 °C for 1 h. HtBgl displayed the glucose tolerance up to 750 mM and retained ~70% activity after 20 h. HtBgl crystal structure submitted (PDB id 5OGZ) by others exhibited a classical Triosephosphate Isomerase, (β/α)8-barrel fold. Protein melting analysis of HtBgl exhibited a single peak at 78 °C and the addition of 5 mM Mg2+ shifted the peak to 82 °C. Molecular dynamics studies showed that the amino acid residues from 351 to 375 exhibit the flexibility due to the presence of the catalytic acid residue. The structure comparison of HtBgl with homologous proteins and its docking analysis with probable ligands revealed that the residues, E166 and E355 are involved in the catalysis. The SAXS analysis of HtBgl showed that the protein is monomeric and present in a fully folded state. The radius of gyration (Rg) found was 2.15-2.26 nm. The bell-shaped curve obtained by Kratky plot analysis displayed the globular shape and fully folded state with flexibility in the N-terminal region. The HtBgl crystal structure superposed well with the SAXS derived dummy atom model.
