Hakoda M, Kato T, Takahashi C, Shiono Y, Koseki T. Substrate specificity modification of paraben hydrolase and tannase from Aspergillus oryzae. Enzyme Microb Technol 2024; 180:110495. [PMID: 39121638 DOI: 10.1016/j.enzmictec.2024.110495] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/29/2024] [Revised: 07/31/2024] [Accepted: 08/05/2024] [Indexed: 08/12/2024]
Abstract
Paraben hydrolase and tannase catalyze the hydrolysis of parabens (4-hydroxybenzoic acid esters) and gallic acid (3,4,5-trihydroxybenzoic acid) esters, respectively. Paraben hydrolase (AoPrbA) and tannase (AoTanB) from Aspergillus oryzae belong to the tannase family in the ESTHER database. However, the substrate specificities of AoPrbA and AoTanB are narrow. Based on structural information of Aspergillus niger tannase (PDB code 7k4o), we constructed five single variants of AoPrbA (Thr200Glu, Phe231Gln, Leu232Gln, Ile361Tyr, and Leu428Ser) and four of AoTanB (Glu203Asp, Glu203Thr, His237Ala, and Ser440Leu) to investigate substrate discrimination between AoPrbA and AoTanB. Each variant was expressed in Pichia pastoris and were purified from the culture supernatant. Five purified variants of AoPrbA and four variants of AoTanB showed reduced paraben hydrolase and tannase activities compared with AoPrbA and AoTanB wild types, respectively. Interestingly, the AoPrbA wild type did not hydrolyze gallic acid methyl ester, whereas the Thr200Glu, Leu232Gln, and Leu428Ser variants did, indicating that these three variants acquired tannase activity. In particular, the Leu428Ser variant exhibited considerably greater hydrolysis of gallic acid and protocatechuic acid methyl esters. Meanwhile, the AoTanB wild type, and Glu203Asp, His237Ala and Ser440Leu variants hydrolyzed the protocatechuate methyl and 4-hydroxybenzoate ethyl esters; however, the Glu203Thr variant did not hydrolyze above-mentioned substrates. Additionally, the ratio of paraben hydrolase activity to tannase activity in Ser440Leu was markedly elevated.

Pruned tea biomass plays a significant role in functional food production: A review on characterization and comprehensive utilization of abandon-plucked fresh tea leaves. Compr Rev Food Sci Food Saf 2024; 23:e13406. [PMID: 39030800 DOI: 10.1111/1541-4337.13406] [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: 03/07/2024] [Revised: 05/18/2024] [Accepted: 06/21/2024] [Indexed: 07/22/2024]
Abstract
Tea is the second largest nonalcoholic beverage in the world due to its characteristic flavor and well-known functional properties in vitro and in vivo. Global tea production reaches 6.397 million tons in 2022 and continues to rise. Fresh tea leaves are mainly harvested in spring, whereas thousands of tons are discarded in summer and autumn. Herein, pruned tea biomass refers to abandon-plucked leaves being pruned in the non-plucking period, especially in summer and autumn. At present, no relevant concluding remarks have been made on this undervalued biomass. This review summarizes the seasonal differences of intrinsic metabolites and pays special attention to the most critical bioactive and flavor compounds, including polyphenols, theanine, and caffeine. Additionally, meaningful and profound methods to transform abandon-plucked fresh tea leaves into high-value products are reviewed. In summer and autumn, tea plants accumulate much more phenols than in spring, especially epigallocatechin gallate (galloyl catechin), anthocyanins (catechin derivatives), and proanthocyanidins (polymerized catechins). Vigorous carbon metabolism induced by high light intensity and temperature in summer and autumn also accumulates carbohydrates, such as soluble sugars and cellulose. The characteristics of abandon-plucked tea leaves make them not ideal raw materials for tea, but suitable for novel tea products like beverages and food ingredients using traditional or hybrid technologies such as enzymatic transformation, microbial fermentation, formula screening, and extraction, with the abundant polyphenols in summer and autumn tea serving as prominent flavor and bioactive contributors.

Abstract
Our recent research study focused on Miang fermentation revealed that tannin-tolerant yeasts and bacteria play vital roles in the Miang production process. A high proportion of yeast species are associated with plants, insects, or both, and nectar is one of the unexplored sources of yeast biodiversity. Therefore, this study aimed to isolate and identify yeasts of tea flowers of Camellia sinensis var. assamica and to investigate their tannin tolerance, which is a property essential to Miang production processes. A total of 82 yeasts were recovered from a total of 53 flower samples in Northern Thailand. It was found that two and eight yeast strains were distinct from all other known species within the genera Metschnikowia and Wickerhamiella, respectively. These yeast strains were described as three new species, namely, Metschnikowia lannaensis, Wickerhamiella camelliae, and W. thailandensis. The identification of these species was based on phenotypic (morphological, biochemical, and physiological characteristics) and phylogenetic analyses of a combination of the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) regions and the D1/D2 domains of the large subunit (LSU) ribosomal RNA gene. The yeast diversity in tea flowers acquired from Chiang Mai, Lampang, and Nan provinces had a positive correlation with those acquired from Phayao, Chiang Rai, and Phrae, respectively. Wickerhamiella azyma, Candida leandrae, and W. thailandensis were the species uniquely found in tea flowers collected from Nan and Phrae, Chiang Mai, and Lampang provinces, respectively. Some of the tannin-tolerant and/or tannase-producing yeasts were associated with yeasts in the commercial Miang process and those found during Miang production, i.e., C. tropicalis, Hyphopichia burtonii, Meyerozyma caribbica, Pichia manshurica, C. orthopsilosis, Cyberlindnera fabianii, Hanseniaspora uvarum, and Wickerhamomyces anomalus. In conclusion, these studies suggest that floral nectar could support the formation of yeast communities that are beneficial for Miang production.

Molecular mechanism of high-production tannase of Aspergillus carbonarius NCUF M8 after ARTP mutagenesis: revealed by RNA-seq and molecular docking. JOURNAL OF THE SCIENCE OF FOOD AND AGRICULTURE 2022; 102:4054-4064.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Tannase is an enzyme produced by microbial fermentation and is widely used in the food industry; however, the molecular mechanism of tannase production by Aspergillus has not yet been studied. This study was conducted to reveal the differences in Aspergillus carbonarius tannase enzymatic characterization, secondary structures and molecular mechanisms after treatment of the strain with atmospheric and room temperature plasma (ARTP). RESULTS The results showed that the specific activity of tannase was improved by ARTP treatment, and it showed higher thermostability and tolerance to metal ions and additives. The enzymatic characterization and molecular docking results indicated that tannase had a higher affinity and catalytic rate with tannic acid as a substrate after ARTP treatment. In addition, the docking results indicated that Aspergillus tannases may catalyze tannic acid by forming two hydrogen-bonding networks with neighboring residues. RNA-seq analysis indicated that changes in steroid biosynthesis, glutathione metabolism, glycerolipid metabolism, oxidative phosphorylation pathway and mitogen-activated protein kinase signaling pathways might be crucial reasons for the high production of tannase. CONCLUSION ARTP enhanced the yield and properties of A. carbonarius tannase by changing the enzyme structure and cell metabolism. This study provides a theoretical basis for elucidating the molecular mechanism underlying high production of Aspergillus tannases. © 2022 Society of Chemical Industry.

Structural diversity and substrate preferences of three tannase enzymes encoded by the anaerobic bacterium Clostridium butyricum. J Biol Chem 2022; 298:101758.

Abstract
Tannins are secondary metabolites that are enriched in the bark, roots, and knots in trees and are known to hinder microbial attack. The biological degradation of water-soluble gallotannins, such as tannic acid, is initiated by tannase enzymes (EC 3.1.1.20), which are esterases able to liberate gallic acid from aromatic-sugar complexes. However, only few tannases have previously been studied in detail. Here, for the first time, we biochemically and structurally characterize three tannases from a single organism, the anaerobic bacterium Clostridium butyricum, which inhabits both soil and gut environments. The enzymes were named CbTan1-3, and we show that each one exhibits a unique substrate preference on a range of galloyl ester model substrates; CbTan1 and 3 demonstrated preference toward galloyl esters linked to glucose, while CbTan2 was more promiscuous. All enzymes were also active on oak bark extractives. Furthermore, we solved the crystal structure of CbTan2 and produced homology models for CbTan1 and 3. In each structure, the catalytic triad and gallate-binding regions in the core domain were found in very similar positions in the active site compared with other bacterial tannases, suggesting a similar mechanism of action among these enzymes, though large inserts in each enzyme showcase overall structural diversity. In conclusion, the varied structural features and substrate specificities of the C. butyricum tannases indicate that they have different biological roles and could further be used in development of new valorization strategies for renewable plant biomass.

A comprehensive review on tannase: Microbes associated production of tannase exploiting tannin rich agro-industrial wastes with special reference to its potential environmental and industrial applications. ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2021; 201:111625. [PMID: 34224709 DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2021.111625] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/26/2021] [Revised: 06/21/2021] [Accepted: 06/27/2021] [Indexed: 06/13/2023]
Abstract
Microorganisms have been used for the production of various enzymes, including inducible tannase for various industrial and environmental applications. Tannases have lot of potential to convert hydrolysable tannins to gallic acid, which is one of the important industrial and therapeutic significant molecules whose demand is over 10000 tons per year. Tannins invariably occur in angiosperms, gymnosperms and pteridophytes, and predominantly present in various parts of plants such as, leaves, roots, bark and fruit. Furthermore, tannery effluents are frequently loaded with significant levels of tannic acid. Tannase can be effectively used to decrease tannin load in the toxic tannery effluent thus providing the opportunity to minimize the operational cost. Over the past three decades, tannase from microbial sources has been proposed for the degradation of natural tannins. The availability of various agro-industrial residues paves a way for maximum utilization of tannase production for the degradation of tannin and eventually the production of gallic acid. In this review, an illustrative and comprehensive account on tannase from microbial source for current day applications is presented. The present review emphasises on up-to-date microbial sources of tannases, biochemical properties, optimization of tannase production in solid state and submerged fermentation and its industrial and environmental applications.
