Abstract
A high ethanol usage of alcohol oxidase (AOX) was required in industry. In this study, a "expand substrate pocket" strategy achieved a high activity AOX from Hansenula polymorpha (H. polymorpha) by Phe to Val residue (F/V) site-directed mutation to enlarge ethanol channel. Although H. Polymorpha AOX (HpAOX) possessed respectively 71.3% and 76.1% similarity with AOX (PpAOX) from Pichia pastoris (P. pastoris) in DNA and protein sequences, their active site structures including catalytic site and substrate channel were similar according to computer-aided analysis. After 3D structure analysis, Phe99 residue of their substrate channels was the most important residue to impact enzyme activity because of its large aromatic side chains. F99V mutation of HpAOX (HpAOXF99V) was designed and executed based on the enzyme catalytic mechanism and molecular computation in order to allow more larger size ethanol into active site. The highest enzyme activity of the fourth strains of HpAOXF99V mutant strain exhibited 12.06-folds increase than that of the host GS115 strain. Furthermore, kinetic studies indicated that the HpAOXF99V significantly promoted catalytic efficiency of ethanol than HpAOX, including Km, Vmax, kcat and kcat/Km. We also provided a new insight that the cofactor FAD irritated both active AOX octamer biosynthesis production and enzyme-catalysed ability due to help enzyme assembly and redox potential.

Cheng J, Ahmad B, Raza MA, Guo H, Ahmat M, Wei X, Zhang L, Li Z, Cheng Q, Zhang J, Wang J, Si D, Zhang Y, Zhang R. Yeast Expressed Hybrid Peptide CLP Abridged Pro-Inflammatory Cytokine Levels by Endotoxin Neutralization. Microorganisms 2023; 11:microorganisms11010131. [PMID: 36677423 PMCID: PMC9860938 DOI: 10.3390/microorganisms11010131] [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: 11/18/2022] [Revised: 12/28/2022] [Accepted: 12/28/2022] [Indexed: 01/06/2023] Open
Abstract
The aim of this study was to apply a strategy to express a recombinant CLP peptide and explore its application as a product derived from natural compounds. The amphiphilic CLP peptide was hybridized from three parent peptides (CM4, LL37, and TP5) and was considered to have potent endotoxin-neutralizing activity with minimal cytotoxic and hemolytic activity. To achieve high secretion expression, an expression vector of pPICZαA-HSA-CLP was constructed by the golden gate cloning strategy before being transformed into Pichia pastoris and integrated into the genome. The recombinant CLP was purified through the Ni-NTA affinity chromatography and analyzed by SDS-PAGE and mass spectrometry. The Limulus amebocyte lysate (LAL) test exhibited that the hybrid peptide CLP inhibited lipopolysaccharides (LPS) in a dose-dependent manner and was significantly (p < 0.05) more efficient compared to the parent peptides. In addition, it essentially diminished (p < 0.05) the levels of nitric oxide and pro-inflammatory cytokines (including TNF-α, IL6, and IL-1β) in LPS-induced mouse RAW264.7 macrophages. As an attendant to the control and the parental peptide LL37, the number of LPS-induced apoptotic cells was diminished compared to the control parental peptide LL37 (p < 0.05) with the treatment of CLP. Consequently, we concluded that the hybrid peptide CLP might be used as a therapeutic agent.

Recombinant human β-defensin130 inhibited the growth of foodborne bacteria through membrane disruption and exerted anti-inflammatory activity. Food Sci Biotechnol 2022; 31:893-904. [PMID: 35720462 PMCID: PMC9203618 DOI: 10.1007/s10068-022-01087-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/14/2022] [Revised: 04/07/2022] [Accepted: 04/10/2022] [Indexed: 11/04/2022] Open
Abstract
Foodborne pathogens causing food poisoning and infections are detrimental to human health, and the abuse of antibiotics induced severe antibiotic resistance in past decades. Thus, it is urgent to develop new antimicrobial agents. In the current study, human β-defensin 130 (hBD130), which is an antimicrobial peptide identified in human macrophages in 2017, was initially produced in Pichia pastoris. The purified hBD130 demonstrated broad bactericidal spectrum against foodborne pathogens through a membrane disruption, with concentrations ranging from 10 to 45 μg/mL. Moreover, hBD130 showed a low hemolytic effect and nearly no cytotoxicity to mammalian cells with a dosage of 400 μg/mL. In addition, the secretion amounts and mRNA levels of NO, IL-6, IL-1β, and TNF-α in LPS-induced mouse macrophage were significantly decreased with 1 mg/mL of hBD130. Taken together, these results showed that hBD130 is a promising antimicrobial agent to treat foodborne bacterial infections and inflammation.
