Abstract
Resveratrol is a promising functional ingredient applied in food products. However, low bioavailability and poor water solubility, which can be improved by glycosylation, hinder its application. A uridine diphosphate-dependent glycosyltransferase (UGT) from Bacillus subtilis 168 (named UGTBS) presents potential application for resveratrol glycosylation; nonetheless, imprecise regioselectivity renders the synthesis of resveratrol-3-O-β-D-glucoside (polydatin) difficult. Therefore, molecular evolution was applied to UGTBS. A triple mutant Y14I/I62G/M315W was developed for 3-OH glycosylation of resveratrol and polydatin accounted for 91% of the total product. Kinetic determination and molecular docking indicated that the enhancement of hydrogen bond interaction and altered conformation of the binding pocket increases the enzyme's affinity for the 3-OH group, stabilizing the enzyme-substrate intermediate and promoting polydatin formation. Furthermore, a fed-batch cascade reaction by periodic addition of resveratrol was conducted and nearly 20 mM polydatin was obtained. The mutant Y14I/I62G/M315W can be used for polydatin manufacture.

ULTRASONICS SONOCHEMISTRY 2024; 108:106973. [PMID: 38943848 PMCID: PMC11261449 DOI: 10.1016/j.ultsonch.2024.106973] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/09/2024] [Revised: 06/20/2024] [Accepted: 06/25/2024] [Indexed: 07/01/2024]
Abstract
This work offered a productive technique for resveratrol extraction from Polygonum Cuspidatum (P. Cuspidatum) using ionic liquids in synergy with ultrasound-enzyme-assisted extraction (UEAE). Firstly, ionic liquids with different carbon chains and anions were evaluated. Subsequently, a comprehensive investigation was carried out to evaluate the effect of seven crucial parameters on the resveratrol yield: pH value, enzyme concentration, extraction temperature, extraction time, ultrasonic power, concentration of ionic liquid (IL concentration) and the liquid-solid ratio. Employing the Plackett-Burman Design (PBD), the critical factors were effectively identified. Building upon this foundation, the process was further optimized through the application of Response Surface Methodology (RSM) and an Artificial Neural Network-Genetic Algorithm (ANN-GA). The following criteria were determined to be the ideal extraction conditions: an enzyme concentration of 2.18%, extraction temperature of 58 °C, a liquid-solid ratio of 29 mL/g, pH value of 5.5, extraction time of 30 min, ultrasonic power of 250 W, and extraction solvent of 0.5 mol/L 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide. Under these conditions, the resveratrol yield was determined to be 2.90 ± 0.15 mg/g. Comparative analysis revealed that the ANN-GA model provided a better fit to the experimental data of resveratrol yield than the RSM model, suggesting superior predictive capabilities of the ANN-GA approach. The introduction of a novel green solvent system in this experiment not only simplifies the extraction process but also enhances safety and feasibility. This research paves the way for innovative approaches to extracting resveratrol from botanical sources, showcasing its significant potential for a wide range of applications.

Abstract
Hepatic fibrosis is a common pathological process that occurs in the development of various chronic liver diseases into cirrhosis and liver cancer, characterized by excessive deposition of the extracellular matrix. In the past, hepatic fibrosis was thought to be a static and irreversible pathological process. In recent years, with the rapid development of molecular biology and the continuous in-depth study of the liver at the microscopic level, more and more evidence has shown that hepatic fibrosis is a dynamic and reversible process. Therefore, it is particularly important to find an effective, simple, and inexpensive method for its prevention and treatment. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) occupies an important position in the treatment of hepatic fibrosis due to its advantages of low adverse reactions, low cost, and multi-target effectiveness. A large number of research results have shown that TCM monomers, single herbal extracts, and TCM formulas play important roles in the prevention and treatment of hepatic fibrosis. Oxidative stress (OS) is one of the key factors in the occurrence and development of hepatic fibrosis. Therefore, this article reviews the progress in the understanding of the mechanisms of TCM monomers, single herbal extracts, and TCM formulas in preventing and treating hepatic fibrosis by inhibiting OS in recent years, in order to provide a reference and basis for drug therapy of hepatic fibrosis.

Abstract
Despite the many advantages of pulses, they are characterised by off-flavours that limit their consumption. Off-notes, bitterness and astringency contribute to negative perceptions of pulses. Several hypotheses have assumed that non-volatile compounds, including saponins, phenolic compounds, and alkaloids, are responsible for pulse bitterness and astringency. This review aims to provide an overview highlighting the non-volatile compounds identified in pulses and their bitter and/or astringent characteristics to suggest their potential involvement in pulse off-flavours. Sensorial analyses are mainly used to describe the bitterness and astringency of molecules. However, in vitro cellular assays have shown the activation of bitter taste receptors by many phenolic compounds, suggesting their potential involvement in pulse bitterness. A better knowledge of the non-volatile compounds involved in the off-flavours should enable the creation of efficient strategies to limit their impact on overall perception and increase consumer acceptability.

Synthesis and Characterization of a Novel Resveratrol Xylobioside Obtained Using a Mutagenic Variant of a GH10 Endoxylanase. Antioxidants (Basel) 2022; 12:antiox12010085. [PMID: 36670947 PMCID: PMC9855058 DOI: 10.3390/antiox12010085] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/28/2022] [Revised: 12/20/2022] [Accepted: 12/27/2022] [Indexed: 12/31/2022] Open
Abstract
Resveratrol is a natural polyphenol with antioxidant activity and numerous health benefits. However, in vivo application of this compound is still a challenge due to its poor aqueous solubility and rapid metabolism, which leads to an extremely low bioavailability in the target tissues. In this work, rXynSOS-E236G glycosynthase, designed from a GH10 endoxylanase of the fungus Talaromyces amestolkiae, was used to glycosylate resveratrol by using xylobiosyl-fluoride as a sugar donor. The major product from this reaction was identified by NMR as 3-O-ꞵ-d-xylobiosyl resveratrol, together with other glycosides produced in a lower amount as 4'-O-ꞵ-d-xylobiosyl resveratrol and 3-O-ꞵ-d-xylotetraosyl resveratrol. The application of response surface methodology made it possible to optimize the reaction, producing 35% of 3-O-ꞵ-d-xylobiosyl resveratrol. Since other minor glycosides are obtained in addition to this compound, the transformation of the phenolic substrate amounted to 70%. Xylobiosylation decreased the antioxidant capacity of resveratrol by 2.21-fold, but, in return, produced a staggering 4,866-fold improvement in solubility, facilitating the delivery of large amounts of the molecule and its transit to the colon. A preliminary study has also shown that the colonic microbiota is capable of releasing resveratrol from 3-O-ꞵ-d-xylobiosyl resveratrol. These results support the potential of mutagenic variants of glycosyl hydrolases to synthesize highly soluble resveratrol glycosides, which could, in turn, improve the bioavailability and bioactive properties of this polyphenol.

Appl Microbiol Biotechnol 2022; 106:1165-1183. [PMID: 35084530 DOI: 10.1007/s00253-022-11789-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/01/2021] [Revised: 01/17/2022] [Accepted: 01/18/2022] [Indexed: 11/02/2022]
Abstract
Glycosylation is an effective way to increase the polarity of natural products. UDP-glucuronyltransferases (UGTs) are commonly observed and extensively studied in phase II drug metabolism. However, UGTs in microorganisms are not well studied, which hampered the utilization of this type of enzyme in microbial glucuronidation of natural products. Screening of five actinomycete strains showed that Streptomyces chromofuscus ATCC 49982 can convert diverse plant polyphenols into more polar products, which were characterized as various glucuronides based on their spectral data. Analysis of the genome of this strain revealed a putative glucuronidation gene cluster that contains a UGT gene (gcaC) and two UDP-glucuronic acid biosynthetic genes (gcaB and gcaD). The gcaC gene was cloned and heterologously expressed in Escherichia coli BL21(DE3). Incubation of the purified enzyme with resveratrol and UDP-glucuronic acid led to the production of resveratrol-4'-O-β-D-glucuronide and resveratrol-3-O-β-D-glucuronide, allowing GcaC to be characterized as a flexible UGT. The optimal in vitro reaction pH and temperature for GcaC are 7.5 and 30 °C, respectively. Its activity can be stimulated by Ca2+, Mg2+, and Mn2+, whereas Zn2+, Cu2+, and Fe2+ showed inhibitory effects. Furthermore, GcaC has a broad substrate specificity, which can glucuronidate various substrates besides resveratrol, including quercetin, ferulic acid, vanillic acid, curcumin, vanillin, chrysin, zearalenone, and apigenin. The titers of resveratrol-4'-O-β-D-glucuronide and resveratrol-3-O-β-D-glucuronide in E. coli-GcaC were 78.381 ± 0.366 mg/L and 14.991 ± 0.248 mg/L from 114.125 mg/L resveratrol within 3 h. Therefore, this work provides an effective way to produce glucuronides of resveratrol and other health-benefitting natural products. KEY POINTS: • A novel versatile microbial UDP-glucuronyltransferase was discovered and characterized from Streptomyces chromofuscus ATCC 49982. • The UDP-glucuronyltransferase was expressed in Escherichia coli and can convert resveratrol into two glucuronides both in vitro and in vivo. • The UDP-glucuronyltransferase has a highly flexible substrate specificity and is an effective tool to prepare mono- or diglucuronides of bioactive molecules.

Abstract
Polyphenols exhibit various beneficial biological activities and represent very promising candidates as active compounds for food industry. However, the low solubility, poor stability and low bioavailability of polyphenols have severely limited their industrial applications. Enzymatic glycosylation is an effective way to improve the physicochemical properties of polyphenols. As efficient transglucosidases, glycoside hydrolase family 70 (GH70) glucansucrases naturally catalyze the synthesis of polysaccharides and oligosaccharides from sucrose. Notably, GH70 glucansucrases show broad acceptor substrate promiscuity and catalyze the glucosylation of a wide range of non-carbohydrate hydroxyl group-containing molecules, including benzenediol, phenolic acids, flavonoids and steviol glycosides. Branching sucrase enzymes, a newly established subfamily of GH70, are shown to possess a broader acceptor substrate binding pocket that acts efficiently for glucosylation of larger size polyphenols such as flavonoids. Here we present a comprehensive review of glucosylation of polyphenols using GH70 glucansucrase and branching sucrases. Their catalytic efficiency, the regioselectivity of glucosylation and the structure of generated products are described for these reactions. Moreover, enzyme engineering is effective for improving their catalytic efficiency and product specificity. The combined information provides novel insights on the glucosylation of polyphenols by GH70 glucansucrases and branching sucrases, and may promote their applications.

Abstract
Resveratrol, a secondary plant metabolite, and its derivatives, including piceid, show several potential health-related biological activities. However, resveratrol production is uncommon in plants; thus, resveratrol-enriched rice (DJ526) is produced for its nutritional and therapeutic value. Here, a DJ526 cell suspension was treated with various elicitors to determine its resveratrol-production potential and elicit its biological activity. Treatments with most elicitors produced more piceid than resveratrol; as elicitation periods increased, the average piceid levels were 75-fold higher than resveratrol levels. This increase is associated with glycosylation during growth and development. The duration of exposure and concentrations of elicitors were crucial factors affecting resveratrol synthase expression. Of all the elicitors tested, jasmonic acid and methyl jasmonate (MeJA) were strong elicitors; they increased resveratrol production to ≤115.1 μg g-1 (total resveratrol and piceid content). Moreover, 5 μM of MeJA increased total resveratrol production by >96.4% relative to the control production. In addition, the extract of cell suspension treated with 5 μM of MeJA significantly reduced melanin content and cellular tyrosinase activity (24.2% and 21.5% relative to the control, respectively) in melan-a cells without disturbing cell viability. Overall, elicitation can enhance resveratrol production and elicit the biological activity of the compound, in this case, its anti-melanogenic activities, in DJ526 cell suspension.

Abstract
Bacillus licheniformis is a Gram positive spore-forming bacterial species of high biotechnological interest with numerous present and potential uses, including the production of bioactive compounds that are applied in a wide range of fields, such as aquaculture, agriculture, food, biomedicine, and pharmaceutical industries. Its use as an expression vector for the production of enzymes and other bioproducts is also gaining interest due to the availability of novel genetic manipulation tools. Furthermore, besides its widespread use as a probiotic, other biotechnological applications of B. licheniformis strains include: bioflocculation, biomineralization, biofuel production, bioremediation, and anti-biofilm activity. Although authorities have approved the use of B. licheniformis as a feed additive worldwide due to the absence of toxigenic potential, some probiotics containing this bacterium are considered unsafe due to the possible transference of antibiotic resistance genes. The wide variability in biological activities and genetic characteristics of this species makes it necessary to establish an exact protocol for describing the novel strains, in order to evaluate its biotechnological potential.

Abstract
Glycosylation possess prominent biological and pharmacological significance in natural product and drug candidate synthesis. The glycosyltransferase YjiC, discovered from Bacillus subtilis (Bs-YjiC), shows potential applications in drug development due to its wide substrate spectrums. In order to elucidate its catalytic mechanism, we solved the crystal structure of Bs-YjiC, demonstrating that Bs-YjiC adopts a typical GT-B fold consisting of a flexible N-domain and a relatively rigid C-domain. Structural analysis coupled with site-directed mutagenesis studies revealed that site Ser277 was critical for Nucleoside Diphosphate (NDP) recognition, while Glu317, Gln318, Ser128 and Ser129 were crucial for glycosyl moiety recognition. Our results illustrate the structural basis for acceptor promiscuity in Bs-YjiC and provide a starting point for further protein engineering of Bs-YjiC in industrial and pharmaceutical applications.

Abstract
Trilobatin, a dihydrochalcone glucoside and natural sweetener, has diverse biological and therapeutic properties. In the present study, we developed a microbial system to produce trilobatin from phloretin using Escherichia coli (E. coli) overexpressing the phloretin-4'-O-glycosyltransferase from Malus x domestica Borkh. Various optimization strategies were employed for the efficient production of trilobatin using a one-factor-at-a-time method. The effect of UDP-glucose supplementation, substrate, and inducer concentrations, time of substrate feeding as well as protein induction, and different culture media combinations were evaluated and optimized to enhance the production of trilobatin. As a result, the highest trilobatin production, 246.83 μM (107.64 mg L-1), was obtained with an LB-TB medium combination, 22 h of induction with 0.1 mM IPTG followed by 4 h of feeding with 250 μM phloretin and without extracellular UDP-glucose supplementation. These results demonstrate the efficient production of trilobatin and constitute a promising foundation for large-scale production of the dihydrochalcone glycosides in engineered E. coli.

YjiC, a glycosyltransferase from Bacillus licheniformis, is a well-known versatile enzyme for glycosylation of diverse substrates. Although a number of O-glycosylated products have been produced using YjiC, no report has been updated for nucleophilic N-, S-, and C- glycosylation. Here, we report the additional functional capacity of YjiC for nucleophilic N- and S- glycosylation using a broad substrate spectrum including UDP-α-D-glucose, UDP-N-acetyl glucosamine, UDP-N-acetylgalactosamine, UDP-α-D-glucuronic acid, TDP-α-L-rhamnose, TDP-α-D-viosamine, and GDP-α-Lfucose as donor and various amine and thiol groups containing natural products as acceptor substrates. The results revealed YjiC as a promiscuous enzyme for conjugating diverse sugars at amine and thiol functional groups of small molecules applicable for generating glycofunctionalized chemical diversity libraries. The glycosylated products were analyzed using HPLC and LC/MS and compared with previous reports.

Trobo-Maseda L, H Orrego A, Guisan JM, Rocha-Martin J. Coimmobilization and colocalization of a glycosyltransferase and a sucrose synthase greatly improves the recycling of UDP-glucose: Glycosylation of resveratrol 3-O-β-D-glucoside. Int J Biol Macromol 2020; 157:510-521. [PMID: 32344088 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2020.04.120] [Citation(s) in RCA: 18] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/09/2020] [Revised: 04/14/2020] [Accepted: 04/17/2020] [Indexed: 02/02/2023]
Abstract
Glycosylation is one of the most efficient biocompatible methodologies to enhance the water solubility of natural products, and therefore their bioavailability. The excellent regio- and stereoselectivity of nucleotide sugar-dependent glycosyltransferases enables single-step glycosylations at specific positions of a broad variety of acceptor molecules without the requirement of protection/deprotection steps. However, the need for stoichiometric quantities of high-cost substrates, UDP-sugars, is a limiting factor for its use at an industrial scale. To overcome this challenge, here we report tailor-made coimmobilization and colocalization procedures to assemble a bi-enzymatic cascade composed of a glycosyltransferase and a sucrose synthase for the regioselective 5-O-β-D-glycosylation of piceid with in situ cofactor regeneration. Coimmobilization and colocalization of enzymes was achieved by performing slow immobilization of both enzymes inside the porous support. The colocalization of both enzymes within the porous structure of a solid support promoted an increase in the overall stability of the bi-enzymatic system and improved 50-fold the efficiency of piceid glycosylation compared with the non-colocalized biocatalyst. Finally, piceid conversion to resveratrol 3,5-diglucoside was over 90% after 6 cycles using the optimal biocatalyst and was reused in up to 10 batch reaction cycles accumulating a TTN of 91.7 for the UDP recycling.

Abstract
Herein we describe the ability of the permissive glycosyltransferase (GT) OleD Loki to convert a diverse set of >15 histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors (HDACis) into their corresponding hydroxamate glycosyl esters. Representative glycosyl esters were subsequently evaluated in assays for cancer cell line cytotoxicity, chemical and enzymatic stability, and axolotl embryo tail regeneration. Computational substrate docking models were predictive of enzyme-catalyzed turnover and suggest certain HDACis may form unproductive, potentially inhibitory, complexes with GTs.

Abstract
Ginsenosides are a group of glycosylated triterpenes isolated from Panax species. Ginsenosides are promising candidates for the prevention and treatment of cancer as well as food additives. However, owing to a lack of efficient approaches for ginsenoside production from plants and chemical synthesis, ginsenosides may not yet have reached their full potential as medicinal resources. In recent years, an alternative approach for ginsenoside production has been developed using the model yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae and non-conventional yeasts such as Yarrowia lipolytica and Pichia pastoris. In this review, various metabolic engineering strategies, including heterologous gene expression, balancing, and increasing metabolic flux, and enzyme engineering, have been described as recent advanced engineering techniques for improving ginsenoside production. Furthermore, the usefulness of a systems approach and fermentation strategy has been presented. Finally, the present challenges and future research direction for industrial cell factories have been discussed.

Abstract
Resveratrol (3,5,4'-trihydroxystilbene) is one of the most abundant polyphenols in red grapes, and red wine represents one of the most important dietary sources of this compound. Although its beneficial properties on human health have been widely investigated over the last 30 years, very little is known about its derivatives. Resveratrol can indeed undergo glycosylation, oligomerization and, upon UV-light exposure, it can isomerize from the trans-to the cis-isomer, which can further cyclize to 2,4,6-trihydroxyphenanthrene (THP). Although the effects of THP on human health are not yet known, being a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon, it can be potentially harmful. Because no data about THP occurrence in plant food and beverages are available, a simple procedure based on liquid-liquid extraction and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry has been developed and validated for the simultaneous qualitative and quantitative analysis of trans-resveratrol, cis-resveratrol, and THP in red wine, before and after UV-light exposure.

Abstract
Two promiscuous Bacillus licheniformis glycosyltransferases, YdhE and YojK, exhibited prominent stereospecific but nonregiospecific glycosylation activity of 20 different classes of 59 structurally different natural and non-natural products. Both enzymes transferred various sugars at three nucleophilic groups (OH, NH2, SH) of diverse compounds to produce O-, N-, and S-glycosides. The enzymes also displayed a catalytic reversibility potential for a one-pot transglycosylation, thus bestowing a cost-effective application in biosynthesis of glycodiversified natural products in drug discovery.

Abstract
The very well-known bioactive natural product, resveratrol (3,5,4'-trihydroxystilbene), is a highly studied secondary metabolite produced by several plants, particularly grapes, passion fruit, white tea, and berries. It is in high demand not only because of its wide range of biological activities against various kinds of cardiovascular and nerve-related diseases, but also as important ingredients in pharmaceuticals and nutritional supplements. Due to its very low content in plants, multi-step isolation and purification processes, and environmental and chemical hazards issues, resveratrol extraction from plants is difficult, time consuming, impracticable, and unsustainable. Therefore, microbial hosts, such as Escherichia coli, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, and Corynebacterium glutamicum, are commonly used as an alternative production source by improvising resveratrol biosynthetic genes in them. The biosynthesis genes are rewired applying combinatorial biosynthetic systems, including metabolic engineering and synthetic biology, while optimizing the various production processes. The native biosynthesis of resveratrol is not present in microbes, which are easy to manipulate genetically, so the use of microbial hosts is increasing these days. This review will mainly focus on the recent biotechnological advances for the production of resveratrol, including the various strategies used to produce its chemically diverse derivatives.

Abstract
A promiscuous Bacillus glycosyltransferase (YjiC) was explored for the enzymatic synthesis of monoterpene O-glycosides in vitro and in vivo. YjiC converted seven monoterpenes into 41 different sugar-conjugated novel glycoside derivatives. The whole-cell biotransformation of the same set of monoterpenes exhibited robust enzyme activity to synthesize O-glucosyl derivatives from Escherichia coli. These newly synthesized selected monoterpene-O-glucosyl derivatives exhibited enhanced antibacterial activities against human pathogenic bacteria and antinematodal activities against pine wood nematode Bursaphelenchus xylophilus.

Abstract
Glycosylation of natural products can influence their pharmacological properties, and efficient glycosyltransferases (GTs) are critical for this purpose. The polyketide epothilones are potent anti‐tumour compounds, and YjiC is the only reported GT for the glycosylation of epothilone. In this study, we phylogenetically analysed 8261 GTs deposited in CAZy database and revealed that YjiC locates in a subbranch of the Macrolide I group, forming the YjiC‐subbranch with 160 GT sequences. We demonstrated that the YjiC‐subbranch GTs are normally efficient in epothilone glycosylation, but some showed low glycosylation activities. Sequence alignment of YjiC‐subbranch showed that the 66th and 77th amino acid residues, which were close to the catalytic cavity in molecular docking model, were conserved in five high‐active GTs (Q66 and P77) but changed in two low‐efficient GTs. Site‐directed residues swapping at the two positions in the two low‐active GTs (BssGT and BamGT) and the high‐active GT BsGT‐1 demonstrated that the two amino acid residues played an important role in the catalytic efficiency of epothilone glycosylation. This study highlights that the potent GTs for appointed compounds are phylogenetically grouped with conserved residues for the catalytic efficiency.

Abstract
Metabolic engineering has been enabling development of high performance microbial strains for the efficient production of natural and non-natural compounds from renewable non-food biomass. Even though microbial production of various chemicals has successfully been conducted and commercialized, there are still numerous chemicals and materials that await their efficient bio-based production. Aromatic chemicals, which are typically derived from benzene, toluene and xylene in petroleum industry, have been used in large amounts in various industries. Over the last three decades, many metabolically engineered microorganisms have been developed for the bio-based production of aromatic chemicals, many of which are derived from aromatic amino acid pathways. This review highlights the latest metabolic engineering strategies and tools applied to the biosynthesis of aromatic chemicals, many derived from shikimate and aromatic amino acids, including L-phenylalanine, L-tyrosine and L-tryptophan. It is expected that more and more engineered microorganisms capable of efficiently producing aromatic chemicals will be developed toward their industrial-scale production from renewable biomass.

Abstract
(Deoxy)guanosine-5'-triphosphate (5'-(d)GTP), the precursor for synthesizing DNA or RNA in vivo, is an important raw material for various modern biotechnologies based on PCR. In this study, we investigated the application of whole-cell catalysts constructed by bacterial cell surface display in biosynthetic reactions of 5'-(d)GTP from (deoxy)guanosine-5'-monophosphate (5'-(d)GMP). By N-terminal or N- and C-terminal fusion of the ice nucleation protein, we successfully displayed the GMP kinase of Lactobacillus bulgaricus and the acetate kinase of E. coli on the surface of E. coli cells. A large amount of soluble target protein was obtained upon induction with 0.2 mM IPTG at 25 °C for 30 h. The conversion of dGMP was up to 91% when catalysed by the surface-displayed enzymes at 37 °C for 4 h. Up to 95% of the GMP was converted after 3 h of reaction. The stability of the whole-cell catalyst at 37 °C was very good. The enzyme activity was maintained above 50% after 9 rounds of recovery. Our research showed that only one-twentieth of the initial substrate concentration of added ATP was sufficient to meet the reaction requirements.

Abstract
Glycosylation, which is catalyzed by UDP-glycosyltransferases (UGTs), is an important biological modification for the structural and functional diversity of ginsenosides. In this study, the promiscuous UGT109A1 from Bacillus subtilis was used to synthesize unnatural ginsenosides from natural ginsenosides. UGT109A1 was heterologously expressed in Escherichia coli and then purified by Ni-NTA affinity chromatography. Ginsenosides Re, Rf, Rh1, and R1 were selected as the substrates to produce the corresponding derivatives by the recombinant UGT109A1. The results showed that UGT109A1 could transfer a glucosyl moiety to C3-OH of ginsenosides Re and R1, and C3-OH and C12-OH of ginsenosides Rf and Rh1, respectively, to produce unnatural ginsenosides 3,20-di-O-β-d-glucopyranosyl-6-O-[α-l-rhamnopyrano-(1→2)-β-d-glucopyranosyl]-dammar-24-ene-3β,6α,12β,20S-tetraol (1), 3,20-di-O-β-d-glucopyranosyl-6-O-[β-d-xylopyranosyl-(1→2)-β-d-glucopyranosyl]-dammar-24-ene-3β,6α,12β,20S-tetraol (6), 3-O-β-d-glucopyranosyl-6-O-[β-d-glucopyranosyl-(1→2)-β-d-glucopyranosyl]-dammar-24-ene-3β,6α,12β,20S-tetraol (3), 3,12-di-O-β-d-glucopyranosyl-6-O-[β-d-glucopyranosyl-(1→2)-β-d-glucopyranosyl]-dammar-24-ene-3β,6α,12β,20S-tetraol (2), 3,6-di-O-β-d-glucopyranosyl-dammar-24-ene-3β,6α,12β,20S-tetraol (5), and 3,6,12-tri-O-β-d-glucopyranosyl-dammar-24-ene-3β,6α,12β,20S-tetraol (4). Among the above products, 1, 2, 3, and 6 are new compounds. The maximal activity of UGT109A1 was achieved at the temperature of 40 °C, in the pH range of 8.0⁻10.0. The activity of UGT109A1 was considerably enhanced by Mg2+, Mn2+, and Ca2+, but was obviously reduced by Cu2+, Co2+, and Zn2+. The study demonstrated that UGT109A1 was effective in producing a series of unnatural ginsenosides through enzymatic reactions, which could pave a way to generate promising leads for new drug discovery.

Abstract
Anthraquinones, naturally occurring bioactive compounds, have been reported to exhibit various biological activities, including anti-inflammatory, antiviral, antimicrobial, and anticancer effects. In this study, we biotransformed three selected anthraquinones into their novel O-glucoside derivatives, expressing a versatile glycosyltransferase (YjiC) from Bacillus licheniformis DSM 13 in Escherichia coli. Anthraflavic acid, alizarin, and 2-amino-3-hydroxyanthraquinone were exogenously fed to recombinant E. coli as substrate for biotransformation. The products anthraflavic acid-O-glucoside, alizarin 2-O-β-d-glucoside, and 2-amino-3-O-glucosyl anthraquinone produced in the culture broths were characterized by various chromatographic and spectroscopic analyses. The comparative anti-proliferative assay against various cancer cells (gastric cancer-AGS, uterine cervical cancer-HeLa, and liver cancer-HepG2) were remarkable, since the synthesized glucoside compounds showed more than 60% of cell growth inhibition at concentrations ranging from ~50 μM to 100 μM. Importantly, one of the synthesized glucoside derivatives, alizarin 2-O-glucoside inhibited more than 90% of cell growth in all the cancer cell lines tested.

Abstract
Three rosmarinic acid analogs produced by recombinant Escherichia coli, two xanthones from fungi and honokiol from plants, were explored as the substrates of E. coli harboring a glucosyltransferase mutant UGT73B6FS to generate phenolic glucosides. Six new and two known compounds were isolated from the fermentation broth of the recombinant strain of the feeding experiments, and the compounds were identified by spectroscopy. The biotransformation of rosmarinic acid analogs and xanthones into corresponding glucosides was presented for the first time. This study not only demonstrated the substrate flexibility of the glucosyltransferase mutant UGT73B6FS toward aromatic alcohols but also provided an effective and economical method to produce phenolic glucosides by fermentation circumventing the use of expensive precursor UDP-glucose.

Abstract
The present study was designed to perform structural modifications of of neobavaisoflavone (NBIF), using an in vitro enzymatic glycosylation reaction, in order to improve its water-solubility. Two novel glucosides of NBIF were obtained from an enzymatic glycosylation by UDP-glycosyltransferase. The glycosylated products were elucidated by LC-MS, HR-ESI-MS, and NMR analysis. The HPLC peaks were integrated and the concentrations in sample solutions were calculated. The MTT assay was used to detect the cytotoxic activity of compounds in cancer cell lines. Based on the spectroscopic analyses, the two novel glucosides were identified as neobavaisoflavone-4'-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (1) and neobavaisoflavone-4', 7-di-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (2). Additionally, the water-solubilities of compounds 1 and 2 were approximately 175.1- and 4 031.9-fold higher than that of the substrate, respectively. Among the test compounds, only NBIF exhibited weak cytotoxicity against four human cancer cell lines, with IC50 values ranging from 63.47 to 72.81 µmol·L-1. These results suggest that in vitro enzymatic glycosylation is a powerful approach to structural modification, improving water-solubility.

Abstract
Clarifying glycosyltrasferases (GTs) function is of significance for the development of GT inhibitors as drugs, and the use of GTs to glycodiversify small molecules in the search of drug leads. While many Actinomyces natural-product GTs had been functionally characterized, our understanding towards Bacillus natural-product GTs is so far very limited. Herein, genome-wide identification of macrolide GT genes from marine-derived Bacillus methylotrophicus B-9987 revealed the presence of three macrolide GT genes bmmGT1-3. While bmmGT1 was previously revealed to be involved in the biosynthesis of trans-acyltransferase (AT) polyketides compounds macrolactins (MLNs) and bacillaenes (BAEs), the functions of bmmGT2 and bmmGT3 were probed, demonstrating that they are capable to biochemically catalyze glycosylation of MLNs and BAEs as well but interestingly with different regioselectivity, affording four new MLNs analogs. Notably, further genome mining revealed that the orthologs of these three macrolide GT genes showed a regular distribution in the subtilis- and the cereus-clade Bacillus strains; interestingly, bmmGT1 orthologs only occurred in the subtilis-clade Bacillus, and they were also found in the genomes of Streptomyces strains, suggesting their close phylogenetic relationship. These results provide the first significant insight into the important roles of Bacillus macrolide GTs in the biology of the species.

Abstract
In this perspective, we highlight recent examples and trends in metabolic engineering and synthetic biology that demonstrate the synthetic potential of enzyme and pathway engineering for natural product discovery. In doing so, we introduce natural paradigms of secondary metabolism whereby simple carbon substrates are combined into complex molecules through “scaffold diversification”, and subsequent “derivatization” of these scaffolds is used to synthesize distinct complex natural products. We provide examples in which modern pathway engineering efforts including combinatorial biosynthesis and biological retrosynthesis can be coupled to directed enzyme evolution and rational enzyme engineering to allow access to the “privileged” chemical space of natural products in industry-proven microbes. Finally, we forecast the potential to produce natural product-like discovery platforms in biological systems that are amenable to single-step discovery, validation, and synthesis for streamlined discovery and production of biologically active agents.
