Mar Drugs 2019; 17:md17080479.

Abstract
A GH49 dextranase gene DexKQ was cloned from marine bacteria Arthrobacter oxydans KQ11. It was recombinantly expressed using an Escherichia coli system. Recombinant DexKQ dextranase of 66 kDa exhibited the highest catalytic activity at pH 9.0 and 55 °C. kcat/Km of recombinant DexKQ at the optimum condition reached 3.03 s−1 μM−1, which was six times that of commercial dextranase (0.5 s−1 μM−1). DexKQ possessed a Km value of 67.99 µM against dextran T70 substrate with 70 kDa molecular weight. Thin-layer chromatography (TLC) analysis showed that main hydrolysis end products were isomalto-oligosaccharide (IMO) including isomaltotetraose, isomaltopantose, and isomaltohexaose. When compared with glucose, IMO could significantly improve growth of Bifidobacterium longum and Lactobacillus rhamnosus and inhibit growth of Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. This is the first report of dextranase from marine bacteria concerning recombinant expression and application in isomalto-oligosaccharide preparation.

Abstract
Bacillus circulans T-3040 cycloisomaltooligosaccharide glucanotransferase belongs to the glycoside hydrolase family 66 and catalyzes an intramolecular transglucosylation reaction that produces cycloisomaltooligosaccharides from dextran. The crystal structure of the core fragment from Ser-39 to Met-738 of B. circulans T-3040 cycloisomaltooligosaccharide glucanotransferase, devoid of its N-terminal signal peptide and C-terminal nonconserved regions, was determined. The structural model contained one catalytic (β/α)8-barrel domain and three β-domains. Domain N with an immunoglobulin-like β-sandwich fold was attached to the N terminus; domain C with a Greek key β-sandwich fold was located at the C terminus, and a carbohydrate-binding module family 35 (CBM35) β-jellyroll domain B was inserted between the 7th β-strand and the 7th α-helix of the catalytic domain A. The structures of the inactive catalytic nucleophile mutant enzyme complexed with isomaltohexaose, isomaltoheptaose, isomaltooctaose, and cycloisomaltooctaose revealed that the ligands bound in the catalytic cleft and the sugar-binding site of CBM35. Of these, isomaltooctaose bound in the catalytic site extended to the second sugar-binding site of CBM35, which acted as subsite -8, representing the enzyme·substrate complex when the enzyme produces cycloisomaltooctaose. The isomaltoheptaose and cycloisomaltooctaose bound in the catalytic cleft with a circular structure around Met-310, representing the enzyme·product complex. These structures collectively indicated that CBM35 functions in determining the size of the product, causing the predominant production of cycloisomaltooctaose by the enzyme. The canonical sugar-binding site of CBM35 bound the mid-part of isomaltooligosaccharides, indicating that the original function involved substrate binding required for efficient catalysis.

Abstract
A novel endodextranase from Paenibacillus sp. (Paenibacillus sp. dextranase; PsDex) was found to mainly produce isomaltotetraose and small amounts of cycloisomaltooligosaccharides (CIs) with a degree of polymerization of 7-14 from dextran. The 1,696-amino acid sequence belonging to the glycosyl hydrolase family 66 (GH-66) has a long insertion (632 residues; Thr(451)-Val(1082)), a portion of which shares identity (35% at Ala(39)-Ser(1304) of PsDex) with Pro(32)-Ala(755) of CI glucanotransferase (CITase), a GH-66 enzyme that catalyzes the formation of CIs from dextran. This homologous sequence (Val(837)-Met(932) for PsDex and Tyr(404)-Tyr(492) for CITase), similar to carbohydrate-binding module 35, was not found in other endodextranases (Dexs) devoid of CITase activity. These results support the classification of GH-66 enzymes into three types: (i) Dex showing only dextranolytic activity, (ii) Dex catalyzing hydrolysis with low cyclization activity, and (iii) CITase showing CI-forming activity with low dextranolytic activity. The fact that a C-terminal truncated enzyme (having Ala(39)-Ser(1304)) has 50% wild-type PsDex activity indicates that the C-terminal 392 residues are not involved in hydrolysis. GH-66 enzymes possess four conserved acidic residues (Asp(189), Asp(340), Glu(412), and Asp(1254) of PsDex) of catalytic candidates. Their amide mutants decreased activity (1⁄1,500 to 1⁄40,000 times), and D1254N had 36% activity. A chemical rescue approach was applied to D189A, D340G, and E412Q using α-isomaltotetraosyl fluoride with NaN(3). D340G or E412Q formed a β- or α-isomaltotetraosyl azide, respectively, strongly indicating Asp(340) and Glu(412) as a nucleophile and acid/base catalyst, respectively. Interestingly, D189A synthesized small sized dextran from α-isomaltotetraosyl fluoride in the presence of NaN(3).

Abstract
Cycloisomaltooligosaccharide glucanotransferase (CITase; EC 2.4.1.248), a member of the glycoside hydrolase family 66 (GH66), catalyzes the intramolecular transglucosylation of dextran to produce cycloisomaltooligosaccharides (CIs; cyclodextrans) of varying lengths. Eight CI-producing bacteria have been found; however, CITase from Bacillus circulans T-3040 (CITase-T3040) is the only CI-producing enzyme that has been characterized to date. In this study, we report the gene cloning, enzyme characterization, and analysis of essential Asp and Glu residues of a novel CITase from Paenibacillus sp. 598K (CITase-598K). The cit genes from T-3040 and 598K strains were expressed recombinantly, and the properties of Escherichia coli recombinant enzymes were compared. The two CITases exhibited high primary amino acid sequence identity (67%). The major product of CITase-598K was cycloisomaltoheptaose (CI-7), whereas that of CITase-T3040 was cycloisomaltooctaose (CI-8). Some of the properties of CITase-598K are more favorable for practical use compared with CITase-T3040, i.e., the thermal stability for CITase-598K (≤50°C) was 10°C higher than that for CITase-T3040 (≤40°C); the k(cat)/K(M) value of CITase-598K was approximately two times higher (32.2s(-1)mM(-1)) than that of CITase-T3040 (17.8s(-1)mM(-1)). Isomaltotetraose was the smallest substrate for both CITases. When isomaltoheptaose or smaller substrates were used, a lag time was observed before the intramolecular transglucosylation reaction began. As substrate length increased, the lag time shortened. Catalytically important residues of CITase-598K were predicted to be Asp144, Asp269, and Glu341. These findings will serve as a basis for understanding the reaction mechanism and substrate recognition of GH66 enzymes.

Abstract
Dextranase is an enzyme that hydrolyzes dextran α-1,6 linkages. Streptococcus mutans dextranase belongs to glycoside hydrolase family 66, producing isomaltooligosaccharides of various sizes and consisting of at least five amino acid sequence regions. The crystal structure of the conserved fragment from Gln(100) to Ile(732) of S. mutans dextranase, devoid of its N- and C-terminal variable regions, was determined at 1.6 Å resolution and found to contain three structural domains. Domain N possessed an immunoglobulin-like β-sandwich fold; domain A contained the enzyme's catalytic module, comprising a (β/α)(8)-barrel; and domain C formed a β-sandwich structure containing two Greek key motifs. Two ligand complex structures were also determined, and, in the enzyme-isomaltotriose complex structure, the bound isomaltooligosaccharide with four glucose moieties was observed in the catalytic glycone cleft and considered to be the transglycosylation product of the enzyme, indicating the presence of four subsites, -4 to -1, in the catalytic cleft. The complexed structure with 4',5'-epoxypentyl-α-d-glucopyranoside, a suicide substrate of the enzyme, revealed that the epoxide ring reacted to form a covalent bond with the Asp(385) side chain. These structures collectively indicated that Asp(385) was the catalytic nucleophile and that Glu(453) was the acid/base of the double displacement mechanism, in which the enzyme showed a retaining catalytic character. This is the first structural report for the enzyme belonging to glycoside hydrolase family 66, elucidating the enzyme's catalytic machinery.

Abstract
Streptococcus mutans dextranase hydrolyzes the internal α-1,6-linkages of dextran and belongs to glycoside hydrolase family 66. An N- and C-terminal deletion mutant of S. mutans dextranase was crystallized by the sitting-drop vapour-diffusion method. The crystals diffracted to a resolution of 1.6 Å and belonged to space group P2(1), with unit-cell parameters a = 53.2, b = 89.7, c = 63.3 Å, β = 102.3°. Assuming that the asymmetric unit of the crystal contained one molecule, the Matthews coefficient was calculated to be 4.07 Å(3) Da(-1); assuming the presence of two molecules in the asymmetric unit it was calculated to be 2.03 Å(3) Da(-1).

Abstract
A cycloisomaltooligosaccharide (CI; cyclodextran) production system was developed using a Bacillus subtilis expression system for the cycloisomaltooligosaccharide glucanotransferase (CITase) gene. The CITase gene of Bacillus circulans T-3040, along with the α-amylase promoter (PamyQ) and amyQ signal sequence of Bacillus amyloliquefaciens, was cloned into the Bacillus expression vector pUB110 and subsequently expressed in B. subtilis strain 168 and its alkaline (aprE) and neutral (nprE) protease-deficient strains. The recombinant CITase produced by the protease-deficient strains reached 1 U/mL in the culture supernatant within 48 h of cultivation, which was approximately 7.5 times more than that produced by the industrial CITase-producing strain B. circulans G22-10 derived from B. circulans T-3040. When aprE- and nprE-deficient B. subtilis 168 harboring the CITase gene was cultured with 10% dextran 40 for 48 h, 17% of the dextran in the culture was converted to CIs (CI-7 to CI-12), which was approximately three times more than that converted by B. circulans G22-10 under the same dextran concentration. The B. subtilis host-vector system enabled us to produce CIs by direct fermentation of dextran along with high CITase production, which was not possible in B. circulans G22-10 due to growth inhibition by dextran at high concentrations and limited production of CITase.

According to the sequence alignment of enzymes in the same family, we divided the structure of CITase into five regions from the N terminus to the C terminus: an N-terminal conserved region (Ser1-Gly403), an insertion region (R1; Tyr404-Tyr492), two conserved regions (R2; Glu493-Ser596 and R3; Gly597-Met700), and a C-terminal variable region (R4; Lys701-Ser934). CITase catalyzes the synthesis of cycloisomaltooligosaccharides (CIs) with 7-17 glucose units (CI-7 to CI-17) from dextran. In order to clarify the functions of these C-terminal regions (R1-R4), we constructed 15 deletion mutant enzymes. M123Δ (R4-deleted), MΔ234 (R1-deleted), and MΔ23Δ (R1/R4-deleted) catalyzed CI synthesis, but other mutants were inactive. M123Δ, MΔ234, and MΔ23Δ increased their K(m) values against dextran 40. The wild-type enzyme and M123Δ produced CI-8 predominantly, but MΔ234 and MΔ23Δ lost CI-8 production specificity. The k(cat) values of MΔ234 and MΔ23Δ decreased, and these mutants showed narrowed temperature and pH stability ranges. Our deletion analysis suggests that (i) R2 and R3 are crucial for CITase to generate an active form; (ii) both R1 and R4 contribute to substrate binding; and (iii) R1 also contributes to preference of CI-8 production and enzyme stability.

Abstract
Cyclodextrans (CIs) are cyclic isomaltooligosaccharides and only CI-7, CI-8, and CI-9 were known. CI-7, CI-8, and CI-9, consisting of seven, eight, and nine glucoses, respectively, bound by alpha-(1-->6) linkages, are known to be produced by T-3040 strain of Bacillus circulans. However, we have found, using 13C NMR and mass spectrometry, that this strain also produces CI-10, CI-11 and CI-12. These large CIs are very soluble in water and inhibit the glucan synthesis of glucansucrases to the same degree as do the smaller CIs. The CIs were thought to be poor at forming inclusion complexes with chemical compounds, due to their flexible alpha-(1-->6)-glucosidic structure. Among these six CIs, CI-10 was much better at forming an inclusion complex, and it ability to do so was as good as cyclodextrins, as determined by its ability to stabilize the color of Victoria blue B. Therefore, CI-10 may be the most commercially useful CI.
