Zhang K, Han Y. Thermostable Bacterial Collagenolytic Proteases: A Review. J Microbiol Biotechnol 2024; 34:1385-1394. [PMID: 38934777 PMCID: PMC11294657 DOI: 10.4014/jmb.2404.04051] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/29/2024] [Revised: 05/21/2024] [Accepted: 05/28/2024] [Indexed: 06/28/2024]
Abstract
Collagenolytic proteases are widely used in the food, medical, pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and textile industries. Mesophilic collagenases exhibit collagenolytic activity under physiological conditions, but have limitations in efficiently degrading collagen-rich wastes, such as collagen from fish scales, at high temperatures due to their poor thermostability. Bacterial collagenolytic proteases are members of various proteinase families, including the bacterial collagenolytic metalloproteinase M9 and the bacterial collagenolytic serine proteinase families S1, S8, and S53. Notably, the C-terminal domains of collagenolytic proteases, such as the pre-peptidase C-terminal domain, the polycystic kidney disease-like domain, the collagen-binding domain, the proprotein convertase domain, and the β-jelly roll domain, exhibit collagen-binding or -swelling activity. These activities can induce conformational changes in collagen or the enzyme active sites, thereby enhancing the collagen-degrading efficiency. In addition, thermostable bacterial collagenolytic proteases can function at high temperatures, which increases their degradation efficiency since heat-denatured collagen is more susceptible to proteolysis and minimizes the risk of microbial contamination. To date, only a few thermophile-derived collagenolytic proteases have been characterized. TSS, a thermostable and halotolerant subtilisin-like serine collagenolytic protease, exhibits high collagenolytic activity at 60°C. In this review, we present and summarize the current research on A) the classification and nomenclature of thermostable and mesophilic collagenolytic proteases derived from diverse microorganisms, and B) the functional roles of their C-terminal domains. Furthermore, we analyze the cleavage specificity of the thermostable collagenolytic proteases within each family and comprehensively discuss the thermostable collagenolytic protease TSS.

Abstract
Intraspecies diversification and niche adaptation by members of the Vibrio genus, one of the most diverse bacterial genera, is thought to be driven by horizontal gene transfer. However, the intrinsic driving force of Vibrio species diversification is much less explored. Here, by studying two dominant and competing cohabitants of the gastric cavity of corals, we found that a phenotype influencing island (named VPII) in Vibrio alginolyticus was eliminated upon coculturing with Pseudoalteromonas. The loss of VPII reduced the biofilm formation and phage resistance, but activated motility, which may allow V. alginolyticus to expand to other niches. Mechanistically, we discovered that the excision of this island is mediated by the cooperation of two unrelated mobile genetic elements harbored in Pseudoalteromonas spp., an integrative and conjugative element (ICE) and a mobilizable genomic island (MGI). More importantly, these mobile genetic elements are widespread in cohabitating Gram-negative bacteria. Altogether, we discovered a new strategy by which the mobilome is employed by competitors to increase the genomic plasticity of rivals.

Mechanistic Insight into the Fragmentation of Type I Collagen Fibers into Peptides and Amino Acids by a Vibrio Collagenase. Appl Environ Microbiol 2022; 88:e0167721.

Abstract
Vibrio collagenases of the M9A subfamily are closely related to Vibrio pathogenesis for their role in collagen degradation during host invasion. Although some Vibrio collagenases have been characterized, the collagen degradation mechanism of Vibrio collagenase is still largely unknown. Here, an M9A collagenase, VP397, from marine Vibrio pomeroyi strain 12613 was characterized, and its fragmentation pattern on insoluble type I collagen fibers was studied. VP397 is a typical Vibrio collagenase composed of a catalytic module featuring a peptidase M9N domain and a peptidase M9 domain and two accessory bacterial prepeptidase C-terminal domains (PPC domains). It can hydrolyze various collagenous substrates, including fish collagen, mammalian collagens of types I to V, triple-helical peptide [(POG)10]3, gelatin, and 4-phenylazobenzyloxycarbonyl-Pro-Leu-Gly-Pro-o-Arg (Pz-peptide). Atomic force microscopy (AFM) observation and biochemical analyses revealed that VP397 first assaults the C-telopeptide region to dismantle the compact structure of collagen and dissociate tropocollagen fragments, which are further digested into peptides and amino acids by VP397 mainly at the Y-Gly bonds in the repeating Gly-X-Y triplets. In addition, domain deletion mutagenesis showed that the catalytic module of VP397 alone is capable of hydrolyzing type I collagen fibers and that its C-terminal PPC2 domain functions as a collagen-binding domain during collagenolysis. Based on our results, a model for the collagenolytic mechanism of VP397 is proposed. This study sheds light on the mechanism of collagen degradation by Vibrio collagenase, offering a better understanding of the pathogenesis of Vibrio and helping in developing the potential applications of Vibrio collagenase in industrial and medical areas. IMPORTANCE Many Vibrio species are pathogens and cause serious diseases in humans and aquatic animals. The collagenases produced by pathogenic Vibrio species have been regarded as important virulence factors, which occasionally exhibit direct pathogenicity to the infected host or facilitate other toxins' diffusion through the digestion of host collagen. However, our knowledge concerning the collagen degradation mechanism of Vibrio collagenase is still limited. This study reveals the degradation strategy of Vibrio collagenase VP397 on type I collagen. VP397 binds on collagen fibrils via its C-terminal PPC2 domain, and its catalytic module first assaults the C-telopeptide region and then attacks the Y-Gly bonds in the dissociated tropocollagen fragments to release peptides and amino acids. This study offers new knowledge regarding the collagenolytic mechanism of Vibrio collagenase, which is helpful for better understanding the role of collagenase in Vibrio pathogenesis and for developing its industrial and medical applications.

Abstract
The search for nature-based tools to enhance bioremediation is essential for the sustainable restoration of contaminated ecosystems. Humic acid (HA) is an important component of organic matter in soil and water, but its effect on the microbial degradation of organic pollutants remains unclear. In this study, the biodegradation of pyrene by Mycobacterium sp. NJS-1 with and without HA was investigated. Only around 10.5% of pyrene was biodegraded in the pyrene treatment alone, whereas the addition of HA significantly enhanced biodegradation to the point where over 90% of pyrene was biodegraded. The production of 4,5-dihydropyrene-4,5-diol and phenanthrene-3,4-diol indicated the metabolic pathway via attacking of 4,5-positions of pyrene. Interestingly, 1,2-dimethoxypyrene was detected with the addition of HA, suggesting that HA induced a new ring-opening pathway involving the attack on the 1,2-positions of pyrene. The addition of HA first induced protein self-cleavage behavior with a significant increase in phenylalanine, tyrosine, and tryptophan containing large numbers of COO- groups. Furthermore, it altered the intracellular and extracellular ultrastructure of bacterial cells, promoting their growth in size and number as well as reducing the space between them. Overall, HA increased the ring-opening positions of pyrene and facilitated its interaction with bacterial cells, thus improving its biodegradability. Building upon the findings of this study to further research is conducive to the sustainable solution of environmental pollution.

Abstract
The collagenases of Vibrio species, many of which are pathogens, have been regarded as an important virulence factor. However, there is little information on the structure and collagenolytic mechanism of Vibrio collagenase. Here, we report the crystal structure of the collagenase module (CM) of Vibrio collagenase VhaC and the conformation of VhaC in solution. Structural and biochemical analyses and molecular dynamics studies reveal that triple-helical collagen is initially recognized by the activator domain, followed by subsequent cleavage by the peptidase domain along with the closing movement of CM. This is different from the peptidolytic mode or the proposed collagenolysis of Clostridium collagenase. We propose a model for the integrated collagenolytic mechanism of VhaC, integrating the functions of VhaC accessory domains and its collagen degradation pattern. This study provides insight into the mechanism of bacterial collagenolysis and helps in structure-based drug design targeting of the Vibrio collagenase. The collagenolytic mechanism of Vibrio collagenase, a virulence factor, remains unclear. Here, the authors report the structure of Vibrio collagenase VhaC and propose the mechanism for collagen recognition and degradation, providing new insight into bacterial collagenolysis.

Maturation process and characterization of a novel thermostable and halotolerant subtilisin-like protease with high collagenolytic but low gelatinolytic activity.

Abstract
Enzymatic degradation of collagen is of great industrial and environmental significance; however, little is known about thermophile-derived collagenolytic proteases. Here, we report a novel collagenolytic protease (TSS) from thermophilic
Brevibacillus
sp. WF146. The TSS precursor comprises a signal peptide, an N-terminal propeptide, a subtilisin-like catalytic domain, a β-jelly roll (βJR) domain, and a prepeptidase C-terminal (PPC) domain. The maturation of TSS involves a stepwise autoprocessing of the N-terminal propeptide and the PPC domain, and the βJR rather than the PPC domain is necessary for correct folding of the enzyme. Purified mature TSS displayed optimal activity at 70°C and pH 9.0, a half-life of 1.5 h at 75°C, and an increased thermostability with rising salinity up to 4 M. TSS possesses an increased number of surface acidic residues and ion pairs, as well as four Ca
2+
-binding sites, which contribute to its high thermostability and halotolerance. At high temperatures, TSS exhibited high activity toward insoluble type I collagen and azocoll, but showed a low gelatinolytic activity, with a strong preference for Arg and Gly at the P1 and P1’ positions, respectively. Both the βJR and PPC domains could bind but not swell collagen, and thus facilitate TSS-mediated collagenolysis via improving the accessibility of the enzyme to the substrate. Additionally, TSS has the ability to efficiently degrade fish scale collagen at high temperatures.
IMPORTANCE
Proteolytic degradation of collagen at high temperatures has the advantages of increasing degradation efficiency and minimizing the risk of microbial contamination. Reports on thermostable collagenolytic proteases are limited, and their maturation and catalytic mechanisms remain to be elucidated. Our results demonstrate that the thermophile-derived TSS matures in an autocatalytic manner, and represents one of the most thermostable collagenolytic proteases reported so far. At elevated temperatures, TSS prefers hydrolyzing insoluble heat-denatured collagen rather than gelatin, providing new insight into the mechanism of collagen degradation by thermostable collagenolytic proteases. Moreover, TSS has the potential to be used in recycling collagen-rich wastes such as fish scales.

Abstract
The ocean harbors a variety of bacteria that contain huge protease resources and offer a great potential for industrial and biotechnological applications. Here, we isolated a protease-secreting bacterium Vibrio pomeroyi strain 12613 from Atlantic seawater and purified a protease VP9 from strain 12613. VP9 was identified as a metalloprotease of the M4 family. VP9 could hydrolyze casein and gelatin but not elastin and collagen. With gelatin as the substrate, VP9 showed the highest activity at 40°C and pH 6.0–8.0. It was stable at temperatures of 50°C and less and in the range of pH 5.0–11.0. VP9 also had good tolerance to NaCl, non-ionic detergents, and organic solvent methanol. Unlike other M4 metalloproteases, VP9 has distinct collagen-swelling ability, and its collagen-swelling effect was concentration dependent. The relative expansion volume of collagen increased by approximately eightfold after treatment with 10 μM VP9 at 37°C for 12 h. The collagen-swelling mechanism of VP9 on bovine-insoluble type I collagen was further studied. Atomic force microscopy observation and biochemical analyses showed that VP9 can degrade proteoglycans in collagen fibers, resulting in the release of collagen fibrils from collagen fibers and the swelling of the latter. In addition, VP9 can degrade glycoproteins, a non-collagenous constituent interacting with collagen in the skin. The characteristics of VP9, such as sufficient specificity toward proteoglycans and glycoproteins but no activity toward collagen, suggest its promising potential in the unhairing and fiber-opening processing in leather industry.

Abstract
We characterized a protease of the M4 family from the cold-adapted Vibrio sp. Pr21 that was isolated from seawater at 320-m deep in Sagami Bay, Japan, and named it as PR protease based on the strain name Pr21. The PR protease had activities at 10-60 °C and 0.1-350 MPa, with the optimal temperature and pressure at 40 °C and 250 MPa. The mutant 10C9 (Q301P) obtained by error-prone PCR had higher activities than the wild-type enzyme at 10-60 °C, and the Q301P mutation contributed to the increase of the activity. The specific activity value of 10C9 was also higher than that of the wild-type enzyme at 0.1-200 MPa, but the specific activity ratios (1.28-1.59) of 10C9/wild-type enzyme at 50-200 MPa at 30 °C were smaller than those at 10-60 °C (1.73-4.39) at 0.1 MPa. The catalytic efficiency value of 10C9 was lower than that of the wild-type enzyme at 200 MPa. The homology models of PR protease suggested that the side chain of Q301 was hydrogen-bonded with the carbonyl oxygen atom of the main chain of N234 in the wild-type enzyme, and P301 had no contact with N234 in 10C9. The break of the hydrogen bond in 10C9 might strengthen the increase of the flexibility of the β-sheet near the substrate binding pocket under high-temperature conditions, whereas the flexibility of the β-sheet in 10C9 might be moderately increased compared to that in the wild-type enzyme under high-pressure conditions.

Abstract
The study reported on the isolation of a metalloprotease named EH2 from Pseudoalteromonas sp. H2. EH2 maintained more than 80% activity over a wide pH range of 5–10, and the stability was also nearly independent of pH. Over 65% activity was detected at a wide temperature range of 20–70 °C. The high stability of the protease in the presence of different surfactants and oxidizing agents was also observed. Moreover, we also investigated the antioxidant activities of the hydrolysates generated from porcine and salmon skin collagen by EH2. The results showed that salmon skin collagen hydrolysates demonstrated higher DPPH (1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl) (42.88% ± 1.85) and hydroxyl radical (61.83% ± 3.05) scavenging activity than porcine skin collagen. For oxygen radical absorbance capacity, the hydrolysates from porcine skin collagen had higher efficiency (7.72 ± 0.13 μmol·TE/μmol). Even 1 nM mixed peptides could effectively reduce the levels of intracellular reactive oxygen species. The two types of substrates exerted the best antioxidant activity when hydrolyzed for 3 h. The hydrolysis time and type of substrate exerted important effects on the antioxidant properties of hydrolysates. The hydrolyzed peptides from meat collagens by proteases have good antioxidant activity, which may have implications for the potential application of marine proteases in the biocatalysis industry.
