[PMID: 38706006 PMCID: PMC11071339 DOI: 10.1186/s40793-024-00572-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/22/2023] [Accepted: 04/22/2024] [Indexed: 05/07/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Hot spring biofilms provide a window into the survival strategies of microbial communities in extreme environments and offer potential for biotechnological applications. This study focused on green and brown biofilms thriving on submerged plant litter within the Sungai Klah hot spring in Malaysia, characterised by temperatures of 58-74 °C. Using Illumina shotgun metagenomics and Nanopore ligation sequencing, we investigated the microbial diversity and functional potential of metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs) with specific focus on biofilm formation, heat stress response, and carbohydrate catabolism. RESULTS Leveraging the power of both Illumina short-reads and Nanopore long-reads, we employed an Illumina-Nanopore hybrid assembly approach to construct MAGs with enhanced quality. The dereplication process, facilitated by the dRep tool, validated the efficiency of the hybrid assembly, yielding MAGs that reflected the intricate microbial diversity of these extreme ecosystems. The comprehensive analysis of these MAGs uncovered intriguing insights into the survival strategies of thermophilic taxa in the hot spring biofilms. Moreover, we examined the plant litter degradation potential within the biofilms, shedding light on the participation of diverse microbial taxa in the breakdown of starch, cellulose, and hemicellulose. We highlight that Chloroflexota and Armatimonadota MAGs exhibited a wide array of glycosyl hydrolases targeting various carbohydrate substrates, underscoring their metabolic versatility in utilisation of carbohydrates at elevated temperatures. CONCLUSIONS This study advances understanding of microbial ecology on plant litter under elevated temperature by revealing the functional adaptation of MAGs from hot spring biofilms. In addition, our findings highlight potential for biotechnology application through identification of thermophilic lignocellulose-degrading enzymes. By demonstrating the efficiency of hybrid assembly utilising Illumina-Nanopore reads, we highlight the value of combining multiple sequencing methods for a more thorough exploration of complex microbial communities.

Abstract
Disulfide bonds are important for maintaining the structural conformation and stability of the protein. The introduction of the disulfide bond is a promising strategy to increase the thermostability of the protein. In this report, cysteine residues are introduced to form disulfide bonds in the Glycoside Hydrolase family GH 7 cellobiohydrolase (GH7 CBHs) or Cel7A of Aspergillus fumigatus. Disulfide by Design 2.0 (DbD2), an online tool is used for the detection of the mutation sites. Mutations are created (D276C-G279C; DSB1, D322C-G327C; DSB2, T416C-I432C; DSB3, G460C-S465C; DSB4) inside and outside of the peripheral loops but, not in the catalytic region. The introduction of cysteine in the A2 and A4 loop of DSB3 mutant showed higher thermostability (70% activity at 70°C), higher substrate affinity (Km = 0.081 mM) and higher catalytic activity (Kcat = 9.75 min-1; Kcat/Km = 120.37 mM min-1) compared to wild-type AfCel7A (50% activity at 70°C; Km = 0.128 mM; Kcat = 4.833 min-1; Kcat/Km = 37.75 mM min-1). The other three mutants with high B factor showed loss of thermostability and catalytic activity. Molecular dynamic simulations revealed that the mutation T416C-I432C makes the tunnel wider (DSB3: 13.6 Å; Wt: 5.3 Å) at the product exit site, giving flexibility in the entrance region or mobility of the substrate in the exit region. It may facilitate substrate entry into the catalytic tunnel and release the product faster than the wild type, whereas in other mutants, the tunnel is not prominent (DSB4), the exit is lost (DSB1), and the ligand binding site is absent (DSB2). This is the first report of the gain of function of both thermostability and enzyme activity of cellobiohydrolase Cel7A by disulfide bond engineering in the loop.IMPORTANCEBioethanol is one of the cleanest renewable energy and alternatives to fossil fuels. Cost efficient bioethanol production can be achieved through simultaneous saccharification and co-fermentation that needs active polysaccharide degrading enzymes. Cellulase enzyme complex is a crucial enzyme for second-generation bioethanol production from lignocellulosic biomass. Cellobiohydrolase (Cel7A) is an important member of this complex. In this work, we engineered (disulfide bond engineering) the Cel7A to increase its thermostability and catalytic activity which is required for its industrial application.

Mo H, Chen X, Tang M, Qu Y, Li Z, Liu W, Yang C, Chen Y, Sun J, Yang H, Du G. Expression of a thermostable glucose-stimulated β-glucosidase from a hot-spring metagenome and its promising application to produce gardenia blue. Bioorg Chem 2024; 143:107036. [PMID: 38141330 DOI: 10.1016/j.bioorg.2023.107036] [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: 10/27/2023] [Revised: 12/06/2023] [Accepted: 12/14/2023] [Indexed: 12/25/2023]
Abstract
This study reports a thermostable glucose-stimulated β-glucosidase, BglY442, from hot-spring metagenomic data that was cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3). The molecular mass of recombinant BglY442 was 69.9 kDa and was used in the production of gardenia blue. The recombinant BglY442 showed its maximum activity at pH 6.0 and 75 °C, maintained 50 % activity at 70 °C for 36 h, presented over 90 % activity in a broad pH range and a wide range of pH stability. Moreover, BglY442 exhibited excellent tolerance toward methanol and ethanol. The specific activity of BglY442 was 235 U/mg at pH 6.0 and 75 °C with 10 mM pNPG as substrate. BglY442 activity increased by over fourfold with 2 M glucose or xylose. Specifically, the enzyme kinetics of BglY442 seem to be non-Michaelis-Menten kinetics or atypical kinetics because the Michaelis-Menten saturation kinetics were not observed with pNPG, oNPG or geniposide as substrates. Under optimum conditions, geniposide was dehydrated by BglY442 and reacted with nine amino acids respectively by the one-pot method. Only the Arg or Met derived pigments showed bright blue, and these two pigments had similar ultraviolet absorption spectra. The OD590 nm of GB was detected to be 1.06 after 24 h with the addition of Arg and 1.61 after 36 h with the addition of Met. The intermediate was elucidated and identified as ginipin. Molecular docking analysis indicated that the enzyme had a similar catalytic mechanism to the reported GH1 Bgls. BglY442 exhibited potential for gardenia blue production by the one-pot method. With outstanding thermostability and glucose tolerance, BglY442 should be considered a potential β-glucosidase in biotechnology applications.

Abstract
High-value chemicals and energy-related products can be produced from biomass. Biorefinery technology offers a sustainable and cost-effective method for this high-value conversion. β-glucosidase is one of the key enzymes in biorefinery processes, catalyzing the production of glucose from aryl-glycosides and cello-oligosaccharides via the hydrolysis of β-glycosidic bonds. Although β-glucosidase plays a critical catalytic role in the utilization of cellulosic biomass, its efficacy is often limited by substrate or product inhibitions, low thermostability, and/or insufficient catalytic activity. To provide a detailed overview of β-glucosidases and their benefits in certain desired applications, we collected and summarized extensive information from literature and public databases, covering β-glucosidases in different glycosidase hydrolase families and biological kingdoms. These β-glucosidases show differences in amino acid sequence, which are translated into varying degrees of the molecular properties critical in enzymatic applications. This review describes studies on the diversity of β-glucosidases related to the classification, catalytic mechanisms, key molecular characteristics, kinetics models, and applications, and highlights several β-glucosidases displaying high stability, activity, and resistance to glucose inhibition suitable for desired biotechnological applications.

Abstract
β-Glucosidase exists in all areas of living organisms, and microbial β-glucosidase has become the main source of its production because of its unique physicochemical properties and the advantages of high-yield production by fermentation. With the rise of the green circular economy, the production of enzymes through the fermentation of waste as the substrate has become a popular trend. Lignocellulosic biomass is an easily accessible and sustainable feedstock that exists in nature, and the production of biofuels from lignocellulosic biomass requires the involvement of β-glucosidase. This review proposes ways to improve β-glucosidase yield and catalytic efficiency. Optimization of growth conditions and purification strategies of enzymes can increase enzyme yield, and enzyme immobilization, genetic engineering, protein engineering, and whole-cell catalysis provide solutions to enhance the catalytic efficiency and activity of β-glucosidase. Besides, the diversified industrial applications, challenges and prospects of β-glucosidase are also described.

Abstract
Vermicomposting is a promising method for corn stover management to achieve bioresource recovery and environmental protection. Most β-glucosidases, which limit the cellulose degradation rate during vermicomposting of corn stover, belong to glycoside hydrolase family 1 (GH1). This study was conducted with different earthworm densities to quantify the GH1 gene abundance and investigate the evolution of GH1 cellulase-producing microbial communities using qPCR and pyrosequencing. The results showed that β-glucosidase activity, GH1 gene abundance, TOC, and microbial communities carrying the GH1 gene were affected by processing time and earthworm density. After introducing earthworms, β-glucosidase activity increased to 1.90-2.13 U/g from 0.54 U/g. The GH1 gene abundance of treatments with earthworms (5.82E+09-6.70E+09 copies/g) was significantly higher than that of treatments without earthworms (2.48E+09 copies/g) on Day 45. Earthworms increased the richness of microbial communities. The relative abundances of Sphingobium and Dyadobacter, which are dominant genera harboring the GH1 gene, were increased by earthworms to peak values of 23.90% and 11.20%, respectively. Correlation analysis showed that Sphingobium, Dyadobacter, Trichoderma, and Starkeya were positively associated with β-glucosidases. This work sheds new light on the mechanism of cellulose degradation during vermicomposting at the molecular level.

Abstract
The Bacillaceae family members are considered to be a good source of microbial factories for biotechnological processes. In contrast to Bacillus and Geobacillus, Anoxybacillus, which would be thermophilic and spore-forming group of bacteria, is a relatively new genus firstly proposed in the year of 2000. The development of thermostable microbial enzymes, waste management and bioremediation processes would be a crucial parameter in the industrial sectors. There has been increasing interest in Anoxybacillus strains for biotechnological applications. Therefore, various Anoxybacillus strains isolated from different habitats have been explored and identified for biotechnological and industrial purposes such as enzyme production, bioremediation and biodegradation of toxic compounds. Certain strains have ability to produce exopolysaccharides possessing biological activities including antimicrobial, antioxidant and anticancer. This current review provides past and recent discoveries regarding Anoxybacillus strains and their potential biotechnological applications in enzyme industry, environmental processes and medicine.

Abstract
Antarctica is a mosaic of extremes. It harbors active polar volcanoes, such as Deception Island, a marine stratovolcano having notable temperature gradients over very short distances, with the temperature reaching up to 100 °C near the fumaroles and subzero temperatures being noted in the glaciers. From the sediments of Deception Island, we isolated representatives of the genus Anoxybacillus, a widely spread genus that is mainly encountered in thermophilic environments. However, the phylogeny of this genus and its adaptive mechanisms in the geothermal sites of cold environments remain unknown. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to unravel the genomic features and provide insights into the phylogenomics and metabolic potential of members of the genus Anoxybacillus inhabiting the Antarctic thermophilic ecosystem. Here, we report the genome sequencing data of seven A. flavithermus strains isolated from two geothermal sites on Deception Island, Antarctic Peninsula. Their genomes were approximately 3.0 Mb in size, had a G + C ratio of 42%, and were predicted to encode 3500 proteins on average. We observed that the strains were phylogenomically closest to each other (Average Nucleotide Identity (ANI) > 98%) and to A. flavithermus (ANI 95%). In silico genomic analysis revealed 15 resistance and metabolic islands, as well as genes related to genome stabilization, DNA repair systems against UV radiation threats, temperature adaptation, heat- and cold-shock proteins (Csps), and resistance to alkaline conditions. Remarkably, glycosyl hydrolase enzyme-encoding genes, secondary metabolites, and prophage sequences were predicted, revealing metabolic and cellular capabilities for potential biotechnological applications.

Abstract
Beta-glucosidase (Bgl) is an enzyme with considerable food, beverage, and biofuel processing potential. However, as many Bgls are inhibited by their reaction end product glucose, their industrial applications are greatly limited. In this study, a novel Bgl gene (Bgl1973) was cloned from Leifsonia sp. ZF2019 and heterologously expressed in E. coli. Sequence analysis and structure modeling revealed that Bgl1973 was 748 aa, giving it a molecular weight of 78 kDa, and it showed high similarity with the glycoside hydrolase 3 (GH3) family Bgls with which its active site residues were conserved. By using pNPGlc (p-nitrophenyl-β-D-glucopyranoside) as substrate, the optimum temperature and pH of Bgl1973 were shown to be 50 °C and 7.0, respectively. Bgl1973 was insensitive to most metal ions (12.5 mM), 1% urea, and even 0.1% Tween-80. This enzyme maintained 60% of its original activity in the presence of 20% NaCl, demonstrating its excellent salt tolerance. Furthermore, it still had 83% residual activity in 1 M of glucose, displaying its outstanding glucose tolerance. The Km, Vmax, and kcat of Bgl1973 were 0.22 mM, 44.44 μmol/min mg, and 57.78 s-1, respectively. Bgl1973 had a high specific activity for pNPGlc (19.10 ± 0.59 U/mg) and salicin (20.43 ± 0.92 U/mg). Furthermore, molecular docking indicated that the glucose binding location and the narrow and deep active channel geometry might contribute to the glucose tolerance of Bgl1973. Our results lay a foundation for the studying of this glucose-tolerant β-glucosidase and its applications in many industrial settings. KEY POINTS: • A novel β-glucosidase from GH3 was obtained from Leifsonia sp. ZF2019. • Bgl1973 demonstrated excellent glucose tolerance. • The glucose tolerance of Bgl1973 was explained using molecular docking analysis.

PS-C1 Isolated from Sekinchan Beach in Selangor, Malaysia, Reveals Its β-Glucosidase and Licheninase Activities. Microorganisms 2022; 10:410. [PMID: 35208867 PMCID: PMC8874975 DOI: 10.3390/microorganisms10020410] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/24/2022] [Revised: 02/06/2022] [Accepted: 02/08/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
A halophilic marine bacterial strain, PS-C1, was isolated from Sekinchan beach in Selangor, Malaysia. The 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis indicated that strain PS-C1 was associated with the genus Celeribacter. To date, there have been no reports on enzymes from the genus Celeribacter. The present study reports on the cellular features of Celeribacter sp. PS-C1, its annotated genome sequence, and comparative genome analyses of Celeribacter glycoside hydrolase (GH) enzymes. The genome of strain PS-C1 has a size of 3.87 Mbp and a G+C content of 59.10%, and contains 3739 protein-coding genes. Detailed analysis using the Carbohydrate-Active enZYmes (CAZy) database revealed that Celeribacter genomes harboured at least 12 putative genes encoding industrially important GHs that are grouped as cellulases, β-glucanases, hemicellulases, and starch-degrading enzymes. Herein, the potential applications of these enzymes are discussed. Furthermore, the activities of two types of GHs (β-glucosidase and licheninase) in strain PS-C1 were demonstrated. These findings suggest that strain PS-C1 could be a reservoir of novel GH enzymes for lignocellulosic biomass degradation.

Abstract
Second-generation biofuel production has emerged as a prominent sustainable and alternative energy. The biochemical properties of cellulolytic enzymes are imperative for cellulosic biomass conversion into fermentable sugars. In the present study, thermostable CMCase and β-glucosidase were purified and characterized from Aspergillus fumigatus JCM 10253. The enzymes were purified through 80% ammonium sulfate precipitation, followed by dialysis and DEAE-cellulose ion-exchange chromatography. The molecular masses of the purified CMCase and β-glucosidase were estimated to be 125 kDa and 90 kDa, respectively. The CMCase and β-glucosidase demonstrated optimum activities at pH 6.0 and 5.0, respectively. Their respective maximum temperatures were 50 and 60 °C. The cellulase activities were stimulated by 10 mM concentration of Ca2+, Ni2+, Fe2+, Mg2+, Cu2+, Mn2+, Zn2+, and Pb2+ ions. The CMCase activity was enhanced by surfactant Triton X-100 but marginally influenced by most inhibitors. The β-glucosidase retained its activity in the presence of organic solvents (30%) isoamyl alcohol, heptane, toluene, and ethyl acetate, while CMCase was retained with acetone during a prolonged incubation of 168 h. The Km and Vmax values of the two cellulases were studied. The properties of high thermostability and good tolerance against organic solvents could signify its potential use in biofuel production and other value-added products.

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.

Abstract
Glucose-tolerant and/or glucose-stimulated β-glucosidase is of great interest for its industrial utilization in enzymatic digestion of lignocellulosic biomass for biofuel production. In this study, a new gene of β-glucosidase MaGlu1A was cloned from an alginate-degrading marine bacterium Microbulbifer sp. ALW1. The gene of MaGlu1A encoded a 472-amino acid protein classified into the glycosyl hydrolase family 1 (GH1). The recombinant β-glucosidase was overexpressed and purified from Escherichia coli with a molecular mass of 65.0 kDa. Structure analysis illustrated the catalytic acid/base residue Glu186 and nucleophilic residue Glu370 in the enzyme. MaGlu1A displayed optimal activity at 40 °C and pH 4.5, respectively. It had substrate preference to the aryl-β-glycosidic bonds with glucose, fucose, and galactose moieties, in addition to cellobiose. MaGlu1A demonstrated strong stimulation to the supplemental glucose. Site-directed mutagenesis suggested an essential role of Asn242 in glucose stimulation. The enzymatic characterization of MaGlu1A provides general information about its catalytic properties facilitating its practical applications.

Abstract
β-Glucosidases primarily catalyze removal of terminal glucosyl residues from a variety of glucoconjugates and also perform transglycosylation and reverse hydrolysis. These catalytic properties can be readily exploited for degradation of lignocellulosic biomass as well as for pharmaceutical, food and flavor industries. β-Glucosidases have been either isolated in the native form from the producer organism or recombinantly expressed and gaged for their biochemical properties and substrate specificities. Although almond and Aspergillus niger have been instantly recognizable sources of β-glucosidases utilized for various applications, an intricate pool of novel β-glucosidases from different sources can provide their potent replacements. Moreover, one can envisage the better efficacy of these novel candidates in biofuel and biorefinery industries facilitating efficient degradation of biomass. This article reviews properties of the novel β-glucosidases such as glucose tolerance and activation, substrate specificity, and thermostability which can be useful for their applications in lignocellulose degradation, food industry, and pharmaceutical industry in comparison with the β-glucosidases from the conventional sources. Such β-glucosidases have potential for encouraging white biotechnology.

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.

Abstract
β-Glucosidases are used in the food industry to hydrolyse glycosidic bonds in complex sugars, with enzymes sourced from extremophiles better able to tolerate the process conditions. In this work, a novel β-glycosidase from the acidophilic organism Alicyclobacillus herbarius was cloned and heterologously expressed in Escherichia coli BL21(DE3). AheGH1 was stable over a broad range of pH values (5-11) and temperatures (4-55 °C). The enzyme exhibited excellent tolerance to fructose and good tolerance to glucose, retaining 65 % activity in the presence of 10 % (w/v) glucose. It also tolerated organic solvents, some of which appeared to have a stimulating effect, in particular ethanol with a 1.7-fold increase in activity at 10 % (v/v). The enzyme was then applied for the cleavage of isoflavone from isoflavone glucosides in an ethanolic extract of soy flour, to produce soy isoflavones, which constitute a valuable food supplement, full conversion was achieved within 15 min at 30 °C.

Abstract
β-glucosidase causes hydrolysis of β-1,4-glycosidic bond in glycosides and oligosaccharides. It is an industrially important enzyme owing to its potential in biomass processing applications. In this study, computational screening of an extreme temperature aquatic habitat metagenomic resource was done, leading to the identification of a novel gene, bglM, encoding a β-glucosidase. The comparative protein sequence and homology structure analyses designated it as a GH1 family β-glucosidase. The bglM gene was expressed in a heterologous host, Escherichia coli. The purified protein, BglM, was biochemically characterized for β-glucosidase activity. BglM exhibited noteworthy hydrolytic potential towards cellobiose and lactose. BglM, showed substantial catalytic activity in the pH range of 5.0-7.0 and at the temperature 40 °C-70 °C. The enzyme was found quite stable at 50 °C with a loss of hardly 20% after 40 h of heat exposure. Furthermore, any drastically negative effect was not observed on the enzyme's activity in the presence of metal ions, non-ionic surfactants, metal chelating, and denaturing agents. A significantly high glucose tolerance, retaining 80% relative activity at 1 M, and 40% at 5 M glucose, and ethanol tolerance, exhibiting 80% relative activity in 10% ethanol, enrolled BglM as a promising enzyme for cellulose saccharification. Furthermore, its ability to catalyze the hydrolysis of daidzin and polydatin ascertained it as an admirably suited biocatalyst for enhancement of nutritional values in soya and wine industries.

Producing natural vanilla extract from green vanilla beans using a β-glucosidase from Alicyclobacillus acidiphilus. J Biotechnol 2021; 329:21-28.

Abstract
Current methods for the production of natural vanilla extract are long and tedious, and the efficiency of the vanillin extraction is usually conditioned by different factors during the traditional curing process (temperatures and weather conditions). As an important fraction of vanillin is present in the form of glucovanillin in green beans, endogenous β-glucosidases contribute to its hydrolysis; however, these enzymes lose efficiency during the curing process. The use of extremophilic organisms as a source of an appropriate exogenous enzyme can offer a valid alternative when producing natural vanillin. Here, a β-glucosidase from the thermo-acidophilic organism Alicyclobacillus acidiphilus (AacGH1) was cloned, expressed in E. coli BL21, and fully characterized in respect to both function and crystal structure. Notably, AacGH1 was stable at a temperature up to 50 °C and exhibited good tolerance to glucose, fructose and organic solvents, in particular it maintained full activity in the presence of up to 20 % (v/v) ethanol. The enzyme was then successfully applied to an ethanol-water (20 % (v/v)) extract of green vanilla beans and the complete hydrolysis of glucovanillin (1.7 mM) to vanillin, and other flavour compounds commonly found in vanilla, was achieved using 0.5 mg/mL of enzyme in just 15 min at 30 °C.

Abstract
The enzyme β-glucosidase mediates the rate limiting step of conversion of cellobiose to glucose and thus plays a vital role in the process of cellulose degradation. The present study deals with analysis of the effective novel strain of Paenibacillus lautus BHU3 for identifying high-efficiency thermostable, glucose tolerant β-glucosidases. Seven counterparts with elevated Tm values ranging from 64.6 to 75.8 °C with high thermo-stability, were revealed through this analysis. The blind molecular docking of the model enzymes structures with cellobiose and pNPG gave high negative interaction energies ranging from -11.33 to -13.29 and -6.43 to -9.054 (kcal mol-1), respectively. The enzyme WP_096774744.1 effectively formed 5 hydrogen bonds with the highest interaction energy (-13.29 kcal mol-1) with cellobiose at its catalytic site. Molecular dynamics simulation analysis performed for the WP_096774744.1-pNPG complex predicted Glu5, Arg7, Lue68, Gly69 and Phe325 as the major contributing residues for accomplishing hydrolysis of β-1-4-linkage. Further, the molecular docking of WP_096774744.1 enzyme with glucose revealed a distinct glucose-binding site distant from the substrate-binding site, thus confirming the deficient competitive inhibition by glucose. Hence, WP_096774744.1 β-glucosidase appears to be an efficient enzyme with enhanced activity to biodegrade the cellulosic materials and highly relevant for waste management and various industrial applications.

Abstract
Glucosylceramidase (GCase) is a lysosomal enzyme that catalyzes the cleavage of β-glucosidic linkage of glucocerebroside (GC) into glucose and ceramide; thereby, plays an essential function in the degradation of complex lipids and the turnover of cellular membranes. The growing list of 460 mutations in the gene coding for it-glucosylceramidase beta acid 1 (GBA1)-is reported to abolish its catalytic activity and decrease its enzyme stability, associating it with severe health conditions such as Gaucher disease (GD), Parkinson Disease (PD) and Dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB). Although the three-dimensional structure of wild type glucosylceramidase is elucidated, little is known about its features in human cells. Moreover, alternative sources of GCase that prove to be effective in the treatment of diseases with enzyme treatment therapies, impose the need for a simple and cost-effective procedure to study the enzyme behavior. This work, for the first time, shows a well-established, yet simple, cost- and time-efficient protocol for the study of GCase enzyme in human leukocytes by the artificial substrate p-Nitrophenyl-β-D-glucopyranoside (PNPG). Characterization of the enzyme in human leukocytes for activation parameters (optimal pH, Km, and Vmax) and enzyme inhibition was done. The results indicate that the optimum pH of GCase enzyme with PNPG is 5.0. The Km and Vmax values are 12.6mM and 333 U/mg, respectively. Gluconolactone competitively inhibits GCase, with a Ki value of 0.023 mM and IC50 of 0.047 mM. Glucose inhibition is uncompetitive with a Ki of 1.94 mM and IC50 of 55.3 mM. This is the first report for the inhibitory effect of glucose, δ-gluconolactone on human leukocyte GCase activity.

Abstract
A newly identified cellulase-producing Fusarium chlamydosporum HML278 was cultivated under solid-state fermentation of sugarcane bagasse, and two new β-glucosides enzymes (BG FH1, BG FH2) were recovered from fermentation solution by modified non-denaturing active gel electrophoresis and gel filtration chromatography. SDS-PAGE analysis showed that the molecular weight of BG FH1 and BG FH2 was 93 kDa and 52 kDa, respectively, and the enzyme activity was 5.6 U/mg and 11.5 U/mg, respectively. The optimal reaction temperature of the enzymes was 60 ℃, and the enzymes were stable with a temperature lower than 70 ℃. The optimal pH of the purified enzymes was 6.0, and the enzymes were stable between pH 4–10. Km and Vmax values were 2.76 mg/mL and 20.6 U/mg for pNPG, respectively. Thin-layer chromatography and high-performance liquid chromatography analysis showed that BG FH1and BG FH2 had hydrolysis activity toward cellobiose and could hydrolyze cellobiose into glucose. In addition, both enzymes exhibited transglycoside activity, which could use glucose to synthesize cellobiose and cellotriose, and preferentially synthesize alcohol. In conclusion, our study demonstrated that F. chlamydosporum HML278 produces heat-resistant β-glucosidases with both hydrolytic activity and transglycosidic activity, and these β-glucosidases have potential application in bioethanol and papermaking industries.

Abstract
The rate-limiting component of cellulase for efficient degradation of lignocellulosic biomass through the enzymatic route depends on glucosidase’s sensitivity to the end product (glucose). Therefore, there is still a keen interest in finding glucose-tolerant β-glucosidase (BGL) that is active at high glucose concentrations. The main objective of this study was to identify, isolate, and characterize novel highly glucose-tolerant and halotolerant β-glucosidase gene (PersiBGL1) from the mixed genome DNA of sheep rumen metagenome as a suitable environment for efficient cellulase by computationally guided experiments instead of costly functional screening. At first, an in silico screening approach was utilized to find primary candidate enzymes with superior properties. The structure-dependent mechanism of glucose tolerance was investigated for candidate enzymes. Among the computationally selected candidates, PersiBGL1 was cloned, isolated, and structurally characterized, which achieved very high activity in relatively high temperatures and alkaline pH and was successfully used for the hydrolysis of cellobiose. This enzyme exhibits a very high glucose tolerance, with the highest inhibition constant Ki (8.8 M) among BGLs reported so far and retained 75% of its initial activity in the presence of 10 M glucose. Furthermore, a group of multivalent metal, including Mg2+, Mn2+, and Ca2+, as a cofactor, could improve the catalytic efficiency of PersiBGL1. Our results demonstrated the power of computational selected candidates to discover novel glucose tolerance BGL, effective for the bioconversion of lignocellulosic biomass.

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-Glycosidases enhance wine aroma by releasing volatile aglycones from non-volatile glycosides. Commercial preparations contain primarily pectinases, with β-glycosidase as a secondary activity, which limits their potential. Here, the extremophilic β-glucosidase A from Halothermothix orenii, (BglA) has been compared with Rapidase® for the production of aromatic wines and in the remediation of smoke-tainted wines. Model systems, real juices and wines have been enriched with geranyl glucoside, typical of white varieties, and guaiacyl glucoside, commonly found in red wines exposed to oak and wines made from grapes exposed to smoke. The hydrolytic capacity of BglA was evaluated by measuring the released volatiles in the gas phase with solid-phase microextraction and GC-MS. BglA, despite an apparent instability at low pH, is twice as effective in releasing volatiles in sweeter wines and in grape juices, offering an excellent alternative for the early stages of the winemaking process and in the juice industry.

Abstract
The products of bacterial β-glucosidases with favorable cold-adapted properties have industrial applications. A psychrophilic β-glucosidase gene named bglG from subtropical soil microorganism Exiguobacterium sp. GXG2 was isolated and characterized by function-based screening strategy. Results of multiple alignments showed that the derived protein BglG shared 45.7% identities with reviewed β-glucosidases in the UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot database. Functional characterization of the β-glucosidase BglG indicated that BglG was a 468 aa protein with a molecular weight of 53.2 kDa. The BglG showed the highest activity in pH 7.0 at 35 °C and exhibited consistently high levels of activity within low temperatures ranging from 5 to 35 °C. The BglG appeared to be a psychrophilic enzyme. The values of Km, Vmax, kcat, and kcat/Km of recombinant BglG toward ρNPG were 1.1 mM, 1.4 µg/mL/min, 12.7 s−1, and 11.5 mM/s, respectively. The specific enzyme activity of BglG was 12.14 U/mg. The metal ion of Ca2+ and Fe3+ could stimulate the activity of BglG, whereas Mn2+ inhibited the activity. The cold-adapted β-glucosidase BglG displayed remarkable biochemical properties, making it a potential candidate for future industrial applications.

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.

Abstract
The biomass to biofuels production process is green, sustainable, and an advanced technique to resolve the current environmental issues generated from fossil fuels. The production of biofuels from biomass is an enzyme mediated process, wherein β-glucosidase (BGL) enzymes play a key role in biomass hydrolysis by producing monomeric sugars from cellulose-based oligosaccharides. However, the production and availability of these enzymes realize their major role to increase the overall production cost of biomass to biofuels production technology. Therefore, the present review is focused on evaluating the production and efficiency of β-glucosidase enzymes in the bioconversion of cellulosic biomass for biofuel production at an industrial scale, providing its mechanism and classification. The application of BGL enzymes in the biomass conversion process has been discussed along with the recent developments and existing issues. Moreover, the production and development of microbial BGL enzymes have been explained in detail, along with the recent advancements made in the field. Finally, current hurdles and future suggestions have been provided for the future developments. This review is likely to set a benchmark in the area of cost effective BGL enzyme production, specifically in the biorefinery area.

Abstract
The β-glucosidases (β-D-glucoside glucohydrolase, EC 3.2.1.21) hydrolyze glycosidic bonds of alkyl-, amino-, or aryl-β-D-glucosides, cyanogenic glucosides, disaccharides and short oligosaccharides and can also catalyze the synthesis of glycosyl-bonds between different molecules via transglycosylation. Due to their ubiquitous phylogenetic distribution, substrate diversity and ability to both hydrolyze and synthesize glycosidic bonds, the catalysis and regulation of β-glucosidases have been extensively studied. Many β-glucosidases are inhibited by the reaction product glucose, and reduced catalytic activity may limit the biotechnological and industrial applications of these enzymes and this has stimulated the search for β-glucosidases that maintain their activity at high glucose concentrations. Studies of many glucose tolerant enzymes have been reported and due to the ongoing interest in these enzymes, here it has been reviewed this accumulated body of knowledge which provides valuable insights as to the kinetics, structure, regulation and evolution of glucose tolerant and glucose stimulated β-glucosidases.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to characterize a plant origin β-glucosidase from black plum seeds and identify its conformational changes in twenty-six imidazolium- and amino acid-based ionic liquids (ILs). The results revealed that the purified 60 kDa enzyme was monomeric in nature, maximally active at 55 °C and pH 5.0, and nearly completely inhibited by Hg2+ and Ag+. Attractive peculiarities of the relative low kinetic and higher glucose inhibition constants (Km = 0.58 mM [pNPG]; Ki = 193.5 mM [glucose]) demonstrated its potential applications in food industry. Circular dichroism studies showed that the secondary structural changes of the enzyme depended not only on the anions, but also on the cations of the assayed ILs. Interestingly, no corresponding relations were observed between the changes in enzyme structure induced by ILs and its catalytic activities, suggesting that the influences of ILs on enzymatic processes don't rely simply on enzyme conformational changes.

Purification and characterization of a novel GH1 beta-glucosidase from Jeotgalibacillus malaysiensis. Int J Biol Macromol 2018; 115:1094-1102. [PMID: 29723622 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2018.04.156] [Citation(s) in RCA: 25] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/06/2018] [Revised: 04/24/2018] [Accepted: 04/28/2018] [Indexed: 01/16/2023]
Abstract
Beta-glucosidase (BGL) is an important industrial enzyme for food, waste and biofuel processing. Jeotgalibacillus is an understudied halophilic genus, and no beta-glucosidase from this genus has been reported. A novel beta-glucosidase gene (1344 bp) from J. malaysiensis DSM 28777T was cloned and expressed in E. coli. The recombinant protein, referred to as BglD5, consists of a total 447 amino acids. BglD5 purified using a Ni-NTA column has an apparent molecular mass of 52 kDa. It achieved the highest activity at pH 7 and 65 °C. The activity and stability were increased when CaCl2 was supplemented to the enzyme. The enzyme efficiently hydrolyzed salicin and (1 → 4)-beta-glycosidic linkages such as in cellobiose, cellotriose, cellotetraose, cellopentose, and cellohexanose. Similar to many BGLs, BglD5 was not active towards polysaccharides such as Avicel, carboxymethyl cellulose, Sigmacell cellulose 101, alpha-cellulose and xylan. When BglD5 blended with Cellic® Ctec2, the total sugars saccharified from oil palm empty fruit bunches (OPEFB) was enhanced by 4.5%. Based on sequence signatures and tree analyses, BglD5 belongs to the Glycoside Hydrolase family 1. This enzyme is a novel beta-glucosidase attributable to its relatively low sequence similarity with currently known beta-glucosidases, where the closest characterized enzyme is the DT-Bgl from Anoxybacillus sp. DT3-1.

Abstract
The ability of thermophilic microorganisms and their enzymes to decompose biomass have attracted attention due to their quick reaction time, thermostability, and decreased risk of contamination. Exploitation of efficient thermostable glycoside hydrolases (GHs) could accelerate the industrialization of biofuels and biochemicals. However, the full spectrum of thermophiles and their enzymes that are important for biomass degradation at high temperatures have not yet been thoroughly studied. We examined a Malaysian Y-shaped Sungai Klah hot spring located within a wooded area. The fallen foliage that formed a thick layer of biomass bed under the heated water of the Y-shaped Sungai Klah hot spring was an ideal environment for the discovery and analysis of microbial biomass decay communities. We sequenced the hypervariable regions of bacterial and archaeal 16S rRNA genes using total community DNA extracted from the hot spring. Data suggested that 25 phyla, 58 classes, 110 orders, 171 families, and 328 genera inhabited this hot spring. Among the detected genera, members of Acidimicrobium, Aeropyrum, Caldilinea, Caldisphaera, Chloracidobacterium, Chloroflexus, Desulfurobacterium, Fervidobacterium, Geobacillus, Meiothermus, Melioribacter, Methanothermococcus, Methanotorris, Roseiflexus, Thermoanaerobacter, Thermoanaerobacterium, Thermoanaerobaculum, and Thermosipho were the main thermophiles containing various GHs that play an important role in cellulose and hemicellulose breakdown. Collectively, the results suggest that the microbial community in this hot spring represents a good source for isolating efficient biomass degrading thermophiles and thermozymes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Saccharification is the most crucial and cost-intensive process in second generation biofuel production. The deficiency of β-glucosidase in commercial enzyme leads to incomplete biomass hydrolysis. The decomposition of biomass at high temperature environments leads us to isolate thermotolerant microbes with β-glucosidase production potential. RESULTS A total of 11 isolates were obtained from compost and cow dung samples that were able to grow at 50 °C. On the basis of qualitative and quantitative estimation of β-glucosidase enzyme production, Bacillus subtilis RA10 was selected for further studies. The medium components and growth conditions were optimized and β-glucosidase enzyme production was enhanced up to 19.8-fold. The β-glucosidase from B. subtilis RA10 retained 78% of activity at 80 °C temperature and 68.32% of enzyme activity was stable even at 50 °C after 48 h of incubation. The supplementation of β-glucosidase from B. subtilis RA10 into commercial cellulase enzyme resulted in 1.34-fold higher glucose release. Furthermore, β-glucosidase was also functionally elucidated by cloning and overexpression of full length GH1 family β-glucosidase gene from B. subtilis RA10. The purified protein was characterized as thermostable β-glucosidase enzyme. CONCLUSIONS The thermostable β-glucosidase enzyme from B. subtilis RA10 would facilitate efficient saccharification of cellulosic biomass into fermentable sugar. Consequently, after saccharification, thermostable β-glucosidase enzyme would be recovered and reused to reduce the cost of overall bioethanol production process.

Abstract
Background β-Glucosidase is claimed as a key enzyme in cellulose hydrolysis. The cellulosic fibers are usually entrapped with hemicelluloses containing xylose. So there is ongoing interest in searching for glucose- and xylose-stimulated β-glucosidases to increase the efficiency of hydrolysis of cellulosic biomass. Results A thermostable β-glucosidase gene (Bglp) was cloned from Anoxybacillus flavithermus subsp. yunnanensis E13T and characterized. Optimal enzyme activity was observed at 60 °C and pH 7.0. Bglp was relatively stable at 60 °C with a 10-h half-life. The kinetic parameters Vmax and Km for p-nitrophenyl-β-D-glucopyranoside (pNPG) were 771 ± 39 μmol/min/mg and 0.29 ± 0.01 mM, respectively. The activity of Bglp is dramatically stimulated by glucose or xylose at concentrations up to 1.4 M. After Bglp was added to Celluclast® 1.5 L, the conversion of sugarcane bagasse was 48.4 ± 0.8%, which was much higher than of Celluclast® 1.5 L alone. Furthermore, Bglp showed obvious advantages in the hydrolysis when initial concentrations of glucose and xylose are high. Conclusions The supplementation of BglP significantly enhanced the glucose yield from sugarcane bagasse, especially in the presence of high concentrations of glucose or xylose. Bglp should be a promising candidate for industrial applications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND β-glucosidases (BGs) catalyze the hydrolysis of β-glycosidic bonds in glucose derivatives. They constitute an important group of enzymes with biotechnological interest like supporting cellulases in degradation of lignocellulose to fermentable sugars. In the latter context, the glucose tolerant BGs are of particular interest. These BGs often show peculiar kinetics, including inhibitory effects of substrates and activating effects of inhibitors, such as glucose or xylose. The mechanisms behind the activating/inhibiting effects are poorly understood. The nonproductive binding of substrate is expected in cases where enzymes with multiple consecutive binding subsites are studied on substrates with a low degree of polymerization. The effects of inhibitors to BGs exerting nonproductive binding of substrate have not been discussed in the literature before. RESULTS Here, we performed analyses of different reaction schemes using the catalysis by retaining BGs as a model. We found that simple competition of inhibitor with nonproductive binding of substrate can account for the activation of enzyme by inhibitor without involving any allosteric effects. The transglycosylation to inhibitor was also able to explain the activating effect of inhibitor. For both mechanisms, the activation was caused by the increase of kcat with increasing inhibitor concentration, while kcat/Km always decreased. Therefore, the activation by inhibitor was more pronounced at high substrate concentrations. The possible contribution of the two mechanisms in the activation by inhibitor was dependent on the rate-limiting step of glycosidic bond hydrolysis as well as on whether and which glucose-unit-binding subsites are interacting. CONCLUSION Knowledge on the mechanisms of the activating/inhibiting effects of inhibitors helps the rational engineering and selection of BGs for biotechnological applications. Provided that the catalysis is consistent with the reaction schemes addressed here and underlying assumptions, the mechanism of activation by inhibitor reported here is applicable for all enzymes exerting nonproductive binding of substrate.
