Abstract
Pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (PLP) is highly valuable in food and medicine. However, achieving the efficient biosynthesis of PLP remains challenging. Here, a salvage pathway using acid phosphatase from Salmonella typhi (StAPase) and pyridoxine oxidase from Escherichia coli (EcPNPO) as pathway enzymes was established for the first time to synthesize PLP from pyridoxine (PN) and pyrophosphate (PPi). StAPase was identified as a rate-limiting enzyme. Two protein modification strategies were developed based on the PN phosphorylation mechanism: (1) improving the binding of PN into StAPase and (2) enhancing the hydrophobicity of StAPase's substrate binding pocket. The kcat/Km of optimal mutant M7 was 4.9 times higher than that of the wild type. The detailed mechanism of performance improvement was analyzed. Under the catalysis of M7 and EcPNPO, a PLP high-yielding strain of 14.5 ± 0.55 g/L was engineered with a productivity of 1.0 ± 0.02 g/(L h) (the highest to date). The study suggests a promising method for industrial-scale PLP production.

Abstract
Polysaccharides are foreseen as serious candidates for the future generation of polymers, as they are biosourced and biodegradable materials. Their functionalisation is an attractive way to modify their properties, thereby increasing their range of applications. Introduction of phosphate groups in polysaccharide chains for the stimulation of the immune system was first described in the nineteen seventies. Since then, the use of phosphorylated polysaccharides has been proposed in various domains, such as healthcare, water treatment, cosmetic, biomaterials, etc. These alternative usages capitalize on newly acquired physico-chemical or biological properties, leading to materials as diverse as flame-resistant agents or drug delivery systems. Phosphorylated polysaccharides are found in Nature and need to be extracted to assess their biological potential. However, they are not abundant, often present complex backbones hard to characterize, and most of them have a low phosphate content. These drawbacks have pushed forward the development of chemical phosphorylation employing a wide variety of phosphorylating agents to obtain polysaccharides with a large range of phosphate content. Chemical phosphorylation requires the use of harsh conditions and toxic, petroleum-based solvents, which hinders their exploitation in the food and health industry. Over the last 20 years, although enzymes are regiospecific catalysts that work in aqueous and mild conditions, enzymatic phosphorylation has been little investigated. To date, only three families of enzymes have been used for the in vitro phosphorylation of polysaccharides. Considering the number of unresolved metabolic pathways leading to phosphorylated polysaccharides, the huge diversity of kinase sequences, and the recent progress in protein engineering one can envision native and engineered kinases as promising tools for polysaccharide phosphorylation.

Abstract
Site-directed mutagenesis (SDM), an indispensable method in molecular biology and protein engineering, is rather time-consuming and laborious. Protein engineering, especially that of enzymes, nowadays increasingly relies on rational design approaches in which both SDM and protein expression are the bottlenecks because they are generally based on the recombinant DNA technology. Here, we developed a new PCR-based mutagenesis method, DiRect, that achieves high performance in product quality (≥99% substitution) without recombinant DNA technology. We applied DiRect in combination with a cell-free protein expression system to an industrially relevant enzyme, nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate-dependent 3-quinuclidinone reductase from Rhodotorula rubra. In a single round of screening, 90 newly designed mutant proteins were produced within two days, and an unreported mutant (Q135I) exhibiting much higher thermostability than the wild-type enzyme was successfully identified within one extra day. Thus, DiRect is a simple, efficient, and potentially scalable SDM method.

On the donor substrate dependence of group-transfer reactions by hydrolytic enzymes: Insight from kinetic analysis of sucrose phosphorylase-catalyzed transglycosylation.

Abstract
Chemical group-transfer reactions by hydrolytic enzymes have considerable importance in biocatalytic synthesis and are exploited broadly in commercial-scale chemical production. Mechanistically, these reactions have in common the involvement of a covalent enzyme intermediate which is formed upon enzyme reaction with the donor substrate and is subsequently intercepted by a suitable acceptor. Here, we studied the glycosylation of glycerol from sucrose by sucrose phosphorylase (SucP) to clarify a peculiar, yet generally important characteristic of this reaction: partitioning between glycosylation of glycerol and hydrolysis depends on the type and the concentration of the donor substrate used (here: sucrose, α-d-glucose 1-phosphate (G1P)). We develop a kinetic framework to analyze the effect and provide evidence that, when G1P is used as donor substrate, hydrolysis occurs not only from the β-glucosyl-enzyme intermediate (E-Glc), but additionally from a noncovalent complex of E-Glc and substrate which unlike E-Glc is unreactive to glycerol. Depending on the relative rates of hydrolysis of free and substrate-bound E-Glc, inhibition (Leuconostoc mesenteroides SucP) or apparent activation (Bifidobacterium adolescentis SucP) is observed at high donor substrate concentration. At a G1P concentration that excludes the substrate-bound E-Glc, the transfer/hydrolysis ratio changes to a value consistent with reaction exclusively through E-Glc, independent of the donor substrate used. Collectively, these results give explanation for a kinetic behavior of SucP not previously accounted for, provide essential basis for design and optimization of the synthetic reaction, and establish a theoretical framework for the analysis of kinetically analogous group-transfer reactions by hydrolytic enzymes.

Abstract
A new procedure was carried out for the synthesis of nucleoside 5'-monophosphates, involving the use of two enzymes. The first step applied phospholipase D from Streptomyces netropsis and phosphatidylcholine as phosphatidyl donor, to give 5'-(3-sn-phosphatidyl) nucleosides (C, U, A, I). These were selectively hydrolysed in the second step by the action of phospholipase C from Bacillus cereus to produce the respective 5'-nucleotides. Application of this methodology on a preparative scale conducted to 5'-adenosine monophosphate in 63% overall yield from adenosine. The regioselectivity of these enzymes avoids protection steps, the overall synthesis is performed under mild reaction conditions and product isolation is easily achieved.

Abstract
Abstract
Technological developments in Japan based on the results of microbial research were a major pillar supporting the postwar industrial revolution. The wellspring of these advancements was the sophisticated technology used in traditional brewing, a foundation of the characteristic Japanese food culture. In this manuscript, we will describe the fermentative production of amino acids and nucleic acids following the discovery of the umami component so distinct in Japanese cuisine, which finally revealed the true power of microbial production. Thereafter, we will describe acetic acid production stemming from brewed vinegar production and the fermentative production of some other organic acids. Finally, we will delve into the massive scale of innovations achieved by the discovery of valuable micro-organisms and how they have affected the field of food.

Abstract
Sugar phosphates play an important role in metabolism and signaling, but also as constituents of macromolecular structures. Selective phosphorylation of sugars is chemically difficult, particularly at the anomeric center. We report phosphatase-catalyzed diastereoselective "anomeric" phosphorylation of various aldose substrates with α-D-glucose 1-phosphate, derived from phosphorylase-catalyzed conversion of sucrose and inorganic phosphate, as the phosphoryl donor. Simultaneous and sequential two-step transformations by the phosphorylase-phosphatase combination catalyst yielded glycosyl phosphates of defined anomeric configuration in yields of up to 70 % based on the phosphate applied to the reaction. An efficient enzyme-assisted purification of the glycosyl phosphate products from reaction mixtures was established.

Abstract
L-Serine O-acetyltransferase (SAT) from Escherichia coli catalyzes the first step of L-cysteine synthesis in E.coli and is strictly inhibited by the second step product, L-cysteine. To establish a fermentation process to produce L-cysteine, we embarked on a mutational study of E.coli SAT to desensitize the feedback inhibition by L-cysteine. The crystal structure and the reaction mechanism of SAT from E.coli have shown that the substrate L-serine and the inhibitor L-cysteine bind to the identical region in the SAT protein. To decrease the affinity for only L-cysteine, we first built the structure model of L-serine-binding SAT on the basis of the crystal structure with bound L-cysteine and compared these two structures. The comparison showed that the Calpha of Asp92 underwent a substantial positional change upon the replacement of L-cysteine by L-serine. We then introduced various amino acid substitutions at positions 89-96 around Asp92 by randomized, fragment-directed mutagenesis to change the position of the Asp92. As a result, we successfully obtained mutant SATs which have both extreme insensitivity to an inhibition by L-cysteine (the concentration that inhibits 50% activity; IC(50) = 1,100 micromol/l, the inhibition constant; K(i) = 950.0 micromol/l) and extremely high emzymatic activities.
