Food Chem X 2024; 22:101312. [PMID: 38559444 PMCID: PMC10978531 DOI: 10.1016/j.fochx.2024.101312] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/25/2024] [Revised: 03/02/2024] [Accepted: 03/17/2024] [Indexed: 04/04/2024] Open
Abstract
Protein glutaminase (PG), originating from Chryseobacterium proteolyticum, can catalyze the deamidation of glutamine residues in plant proteins into glutamic acid, thus enhancing its functional properties. However, the low yield of PG limits its industrial production. In this study, the yield of PG in C. proteolyticum TM1040 increased by 121 %, up to 7.30 U/mL in a 15 L fermenter after medium optimization. Subsequently, purified PG was obtained by cation exchange chromatography (CEX) coupled with hydrophobic interaction chromatography (HIC). The degree of deamidation (DD) of wheat gluten after purified PG deamidation was 87.11 %, which is superior to chemical deamidation in safety and DD. The emulsifying and foaming properties of deamidated wheat gluten were 2.67 and 18.86 times higher, and the water- and oil-holding properties were 4.23 and 18.77 times higher, respectively. The deamidated wheat gluten with enhanced functional properties was used to improve the flavor and texture in baking cakes.

A novel method for high level production of protein glutaminase by sfGFP tag in Bacillus subtilis. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 262:130092. [PMID: 38354920 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.130092] [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: 10/30/2023] [Revised: 01/16/2024] [Accepted: 02/08/2024] [Indexed: 02/16/2024]
Abstract
Protein glutaminase (PG; EC 3.5.1.44) is a novel deamidase that helps to improve functional properties of food proteins. Currently, the highest activated PG enzyme activity was 26 U/mg when recombinantly expressed via the twin-arginine translocation (Tat) pathway in Corynebacterium glutamicum. In this study, superfolder green fluorescent protein (sfGFP) was used to replace traditional signal peptides to facilitate efficient heterologous expression and secretion of Propeptide-Protein glutaminase (PP) in Bacillus subtilis. The fusion protein, sfGFP-PP, was secreted from 12 h of fermentation and reached its highest extracellular expression at 28 h, with a secretion efficiency of about 93 %. Moreover, when fusing sfGFP with PP at the N-terminus, it significantly enhances PG expression up to 26 U/mL by approximately 2.2-fold compared to conventional signal-peptides- guided PP with 11.9 U/mL. Finally, the PG enzyme activity increased from 26 U/mL to 36.9 U/mL after promoter and RBS optimization. This strategy not only provides a new approach to increase PG production as well as extracellular secretion but also offers sfGFP as an effective N-terminal tag for increased secreted production of difficult-to-express proteins.
