Arabinoxylo- and Arabino-Oligosaccharides-Specific α-L-Arabinofuranosidase GH51 Isozymes from the Amylolytic Yeast Saccharomycopsis fibuligera. J Microbiol Biotechnol 2021; 31:272-279. [PMID: 33397826 PMCID: PMC9705838 DOI: 10.4014/jmb.2012.12038] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/20/2020] [Revised: 12/29/2020] [Accepted: 12/30/2020] [Indexed: 12/15/2022]
Abstract
Two genes encoding probable α-L-arabinofuranosidase (E.C. 3.2.1.55) isozymes (ABFs) with 92.3% amino acid sequence identity, ABF51A and ABF51B, were found from chromosomes 3 and 5 of Saccharomycopsis fibuligera KJJ81, an amylolytic yeast isolated from Korean wheat-based nuruk, respectively. Each open reading frame consists of 1,551 nucleotides and encodes a protein of 517 amino acids with the molecular mass of approximately 59 kDa. These isozymes share approximately 49% amino acid sequence identity with eukaryotic ABFs from filamentous fungi. The corresponding genes were cloned, functionally expressed, and purified from Escherichia coli. SfABF51A and SfABF51B showed the highest activities on p-nitrophenyl arabinofuranoside at 40~45°C and pH 7.0 in sodium phosphate buffer and at 50°C and pH 6.0 in sodium acetate buffer, respectively. These exo-acting enzymes belonging to the glycoside hydrolase (GH) family 51 could hydrolyze arabinoxylo-oligosaccharides (AXOS) and arabino-oligosaccharides (AOS) to produce only L-arabinose, whereas they could hardly degrade any polymeric substrates including arabinans and arabinoxylans. The detailed product analyses revealed that both SfABF51 isozymes can catalyze the versatile hydrolysis of α-(1,2)-and α-(1,3)-L-arabinofuranosidic linkages of AXOS, and α-(1,2)-, α-(1,3)-, and α-(1,5)-linkages of linear and branched AOS. On the contrary, they have much lower activity against the α-(1,2)-and α-(1,3)-double-substituted substrates than the single-substituted ones. These hydrolases could potentially play important roles in the degradation and utilization of hemicellulosic biomass by S. fibuligera.

Abstract
A large amount of agro-industrial waste is produced worldwide in various agricultural sectors and by different food industries. The disposal and burning of this waste have created major global environmental problems. Agro-industrial waste mainly consists of cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin, all of which are collectively defined as lignocellulosic materials. This waste can serve as a suitable substrate in the solid-state fermentation process involving mushrooms. Mushrooms degrade lignocellulosic substrates through lignocellulosic enzyme production and utilize the degraded products to produce their fruiting bodies. Therefore, mushroom cultivation can be considered a prominent biotechnological process for the reduction and valorization of agro-industrial waste. Such waste is generated as a result of the eco-friendly conversion of low-value by-products into new resources that can be used to produce value-added products. Here, we have produced a brief review of the current findings through an overview of recently published literature. This overview has focused on the use of agro-industrial waste as a growth substrate for mushroom cultivation and lignocellulolytic enzyme production.

Abstract
It is well established that non-Saccharomyces wine yeasts, considered in the past as undesired or spoilage yeasts, can enhance the analytical composition, and aroma profile of the wine. The contribution of non-Saccharomyces yeasts, including the ability to secret enzymes and produce secondary metabolites, glycerol and ethanol, release of mannoproteins or contributions to color stability, is species- and strain-specific, pointing out the key importance of a clever strain selection. The use of mixed starters of selected non-Saccharomyces yeasts with strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae represents an alternative to both spontaneous and inoculated wine fermentations, taking advantage of the potential positive role that non-Saccharomyces wine yeast species play in the organoleptic characteristics of wine. In this context mixed starters can meet the growing demand for new and improved wine yeast strains adapted to different types and styles of wine. With the aim of presenting old and new evidences on the potential of non-Saccharomyces yeasts to address this market trend, we mainly review the studies focused on non-Saccharomyces strain selection and design of mixed starters directed to improve primary and secondary aroma of wines. The ability of non-Saccharomyces wine yeasts to produce enzymes and metabolites of oenological relevance is also discussed.

Abstract
In this study, the recombinant α-l-arabinofuranosidase from the fungus Pleurotus ostreatus (rPoAbf) was subjected to site-directed mutagenesis in order to identify the catalytic nucleophile residue. Based on bioinformatics and homology modelling analyses, E449 was revealed to be the potential nucleophilic residue. Thus, the mutant E449G of PoAbf was recombinantly expressed in Pichia pastoris and its recombinant expression level and reactivity were investigated in comparison to the wild-type. The design of a suitable set of hydrolysis experiments in the presence or absence of alcoholic arabinosyl acceptors and/or formate salts allowed to unambiguously identify the residue E449 as the nucleophile residue involved in the retaining mechanism of this GH51 arabinofuranosidase. 1H NMR analysis was applied for the identification of the products and the assignement of their anomeric configuration.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
In the view of depleting resources and ever-increasing price of crude oil, there is an urge for the development of alternative sources to solve the issue of fuel in the coming years. Lignocellulosic biomass is considered to be the most potential alternative resources for fossil fuel. Bioconversion of cellulosic and hemicellulosic components into fermentable sugars is the key step in producing fuel ethanol from lignocellulose. The enzymatic hydrolysis of lignocellulosic biomass needs a highly balanced composition of cellulases and hemicellulases. Commercial enzymes are usually poor in accessory hemicellulolytic enzymes like α-L-arabinofuranosidase. The addition of such accessory enzymes in combination with cellulase or hemicellulase plays a vital role in improving the total yield of fuel ethanol by enhancing the saccharification yield.
Results
The newly isolated fungal strain Aspergillus niger ADH-11 produced a maximum of 22.14 U/g of α-L-arabinofuranosidase under solid-state fermentation using wheat bran as the substrate and modified Mandels-Weber medium at 30°C after 180 h of incubation. The optimization of various fermentation parameters was performed by response surface methodology employing Plackett-Burman design followed by Box-Behnken design. The yield of α-L-arabinofuranosidase was enhanced by 2.34-fold after executing statistical optimization of various fermentative parameters. Crude α-L-arabinofuranosidase was found to be highly stable for 3 h at its optimum temperature (55°C) and pH (4.0). The assessment of the crude enzyme extract in saccharification of alkali-treated maize stover revealed that the supplementation of crude α-L-arabinofuranosidase to commercial cellulase and crude xylanase mixture increased the saccharification yield up to 730 mg/g of maize stover.
Conclusions
The newly isolated A. niger ADH-11 was found to be a potential producer of α-L-arabinofuranosidase. The crude enzyme was active at low pH and high temperature which makes it suitable for various industrial applications such as enzymatic saccharification of lignocellulosic biomass. The supplementation of α-L-arabinofuranosidase enzyme to commercial cellulases and hemicellulases improves the bioconversion of lignocellulosic biomass to a greater extent.

Abstract
The numerous yeast genome sequences presently available provide a rich source of information for functional as well as evolutionary genomics but unequally cover the large phylogenetic diversity of extant yeasts. We present here the complete sequence of the nuclear genome of the haploid-type strain of Kuraishia capsulata (CBS1993T), a nitrate-assimilating Saccharomycetales of uncertain taxonomy, isolated from tunnels of insect larvae underneath coniferous barks and characterized by its copious production of extracellular polysaccharides. The sequence is composed of seven scaffolds, one per chromosome, totaling 11.4 Mb and containing 6,029 protein-coding genes, ∼13.5% of which being interrupted by introns. This GC-rich yeast genome (45.7%) appears phylogenetically related with the few other nitrate-assimilating yeasts sequenced so far, Ogataea polymorpha, O. parapolymorpha, and Dekkera bruxellensis, with which it shares a very reduced number of tRNA genes, a novel tRNA sparing strategy, and a common nitrate assimilation cluster, three specific features to this group of yeasts. Centromeres were recognized in GC-poor troughs of each scaffold. The strain bears MAT alpha genes at a single MAT locus and presents a significant degree of conservation with Saccharomyces cerevisiae genes, suggesting that it can perform sexual cycles in nature, although genes involved in meiosis were not all recognized. The complete absence of conservation of synteny between K. capsulata and any other yeast genome described so far, including the three other nitrate-assimilating species, validates the interest of this species for long-range evolutionary genomic studies among Saccharomycotina yeasts.

Abstract
An α-L-arabinofuranosidase produced by Pleurotus ostreatus (PoAbf) during solid state fermentation on tomato pomace was identified and the corresponding gene and cDNA were cloned and sequenced. Molecular analysis showed that the poabf gene carries 26 exons interrupted by 25 introns and has an open reading frame encoding a protein of 646 amino acid residues, including a signal peptide of 20 amino acid residues. The amino acid sequence similar to the other α-L-arabinofuranosidases indicated that the enzyme encoded by poabf can be classified as a family 51 glycoside hydrolase. Heterologous recombinant expression of PoAbf was carried out in the yeasts Pichia pastoris and Kluyveromyces lactis achieving the highest production level of the secreted enzyme (180 mg L(-1)) in the former host. rPoAbf produced in P. pastoris was purified and characterized. It is a glycosylated monomer with a molecular weight of 81,500 Da in denaturing conditions. Mass spectral analyses led to the localization of a single O-glycosylation site at the level of Ser160. The enzyme is highly specific for α-L-arabinofuranosyl linkages and when assayed with p-nitrophenyl α-L-arabinofuranoside it follows Michaelis-Menten kinetics with a K (M) of 0.64 mM and a k (cat) of 3,010 min(-1). The optimum pH is 5 and the optimal temperature 40°C. It is worth noting that the enzyme shows a very high stability in a broad range of pH. The more durable activity showed by rPoAbf in comparison to the other α-L-arabinofuranosidases enhances its potential for biotechnological applications and increases interest in elucidating the molecular bases of its peculiar properties.

Abstract
alpha-l-Arabinofuranosidase was purified from culture filtrates of the thermoalkaliphilic Streptomyces sp. PC22 to about 108-fold purity by (NH(4))(2)SO(4) precipitation followed by column chromatography. Its approximate molecular weight was 404kDa, with a subunit mass of approximately 79kDa. The evaluated K(m) and V(max) values with p-nitrophenyl-alpha-l-arabinofuranoside as substrate were 0.23mM and 124 U.mg(-1), respectively. The purified enzyme was optimally active at 65 degrees C and pH 6.0 and showed a mild but significant synergistic effect in combination with other xylanolytic enzymes, including xylanase, beta-xylosidase and acetyl esterase, on the degradation of oat-spelt xylan, corn cob and corn husk substrates with a 1.25, 1.32 and 1.21-fold increase in the amount of reducing sugar released, respectively, compared to the expected (additive) amounts for the individual enzymes acting alone. Sequential reactions using two xylan-backbone degrading enzymes (xylanase/beta-xylosidase) and two debranching enzymes (alpha-l-arabinofuranosidase/acetyl esterase) were also determined. The highest degree of synergy was obtained in sequential reactions with the debranching enzyme digestion preceding the xylan-backbone degrading enzymes.

Abstract
Recently, alpha-L-arabinofuranosidases (EC3.2.1.55) have received increased attention primarily due to their role in the degradation of lignocelluloses as well as their positive effect on the activity of other enzymes acting on lignocelluloses. As a result, these enzymes are used in many biotechnological applications including wine industry, clarification of fruit juices, digestion enhancement of animal feedstuffs and as a natural improver for bread. Moreover, these enzymes could be used to improve existing technologies and to develop new technologies. The production, mechanisms of action, classification, synergistic role, biochemical properties, substrate specificities, molecular biology and biotechnological applications of these enzymes have been reviewed in this article.

Abstract
The Aspergillus aculeatus rhaA gene encoding an alpha-L-rhamnosidase has been expressed in both laboratory and industrial wine yeast strains. Wines produced in microvinifications, conducted using a combination of the genetically modified industrial strain expressing rhaA and another strain expressing a beta-glucosidase, show increased content mainly of the aromatic compound linalool.

Abstract
The gene encoding a novel alpha-L-arabinofuranosidase from Bifidobacterium longum B667, abfB, was cloned and sequenced. The deduced protein had a molecular mass of about 61 kDa, and analysis of its amino acid sequence revealed significant homology and conservation of different catalytic residues with alpha-L-arabinofuranosidases belonging to family 51 of the glycoside hydrolases. Regions flanking the gene comprised two divergently transcribed open reading frames coding for hypothetical proteins involved in sugar metabolism. A histidine tag was introduced at the C terminus of AbfB, and the recombinant protein was overexpressed in Lactococcus lactis under control of the tightly regulated, nisin-inducible nisA promoter. The enzyme was purified by nickel affinity chromatography. The molecular mass of the native protein, as determined by gel filtration, was about 260 kDa, suggesting a homotetrameric structure. AbfB was active at a broad pH range (pH 4.5 to 7.5) and at a broad temperature range (20 to 70 degrees C), and it had an optimum pH of 6.0 and an optimum temperature of 45 degrees C. The enzyme seemed to be less thermostable than most previously described arabinofuranosidases and had a half-life of about 3 h at 55 degrees C. Chelating and reducing agents did not have any effect on its activity, but the presence of Cu(2+), Hg(2+), and Zn(2+) markedly reduced enzymatic activity. The protein exhibited a high level of activity with p-nitrophenyl alpha-L-arabinofuranoside, with apparent K(m) and V(max) values of 0.295 mM and 417 U/mg, respectively. AbfB released L-arabinose from arabinan, arabinoxylan, arabinobiose, arabinotriose, arabinotetraose, and arabinopentaose. No endoarabinanase activity was detected. These findings suggest that AbfB is an exo-acting enzyme and may play a role, together with other glycosidases, in the degradation of L-arabinose-containing polysaccharides.
