[PMID: 38229301 DOI: 10.1007/s00253-023-12848-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/02/2023] [Revised: 11/24/2023] [Accepted: 12/01/2023] [Indexed: 01/18/2024]
Abstract
A novel aspartic protease gene (TaproA1) from Trichoderma asperellum was successfully expressed in Komagataella phaffii (Pichia pastoris). TaproA1 showed 52.8% amino acid sequence identity with the aspartic protease PEP3 from Coccidioides posadasii C735. TaproA1 was efficiently produced in a 5 L fermenter with a protease activity of 4092 U/mL. It exhibited optimal reaction conditions at pH 3.0 and 50 °C and was stable within pH 3.0-6.0 and at temperatures up to 45 °C. The protease exhibited broad substrate specificity with high hydrolysis activity towards myoglobin and hemoglobin. Furthermore, duck blood proteins (hemoglobin and plasma protein) were hydrolyzed by TaproA1 to prepare bioactive peptides with high ACE inhibitory activity. The IC50 values of hemoglobin and plasma protein hydrolysates from duck blood proteins were 0.105 mg/mL and 0.091 mg/mL, respectively. Thus, the high yield and excellent biochemical characterization of TaproA1 presented here make it a potential candidate for the preparation of duck blood peptides. KEY POINTS: • An aspartic protease (TaproA1) from Trichoderma asperellum was expressed in Komagataella phaffii. • TaproA1 exhibited broad substrate specificity and the highest activity towards myoglobin and hemoglobin. • TaproA1 has great potential for the preparation of bioactive peptides from duck blood proteins.

Abstract
Soy sauce is a traditional fermented food produced from soybean and wheat under the action of microorganisms. The soy sauce brewing process mainly involves two steps, namely koji fermentation and moromi fermentation. In the koji fermentation process, enzymes from starter molds, such as protease, aminopeptidase, carboxypeptidase, l-glutaminase, amylase, and cellulase, hydrolyze the protein and starch in the raw ingredients to produce short-chain substances. However, the enzymatic reactions may be diminished after being subjected to moromi fermentation due to its high NaCl concentration. These enzymatically hydrolyzed products are further metabolized by lactic acid bacteria and yeasts during the moromi fermentation process into organic acids and aromatic compounds, giving soy sauce a unique flavor. Thus, the starter molds, such as Aspergillus oryzae, Aspergillus sojae, and Aspergillus niger, and their secreted enzymes play crucial roles in soy sauce brewing. This review comprehensively covers the characteristics of the starter molds mainly used in soy sauce brewing, the enzymes produced by starter molds, and the roles of enzymes in the degradation of raw material. We also enumerate current problems in the production of soy sauce, aiming to offer some directions for the improvement of soy sauce taste.

Abstract
The growing preference for incorporating microbial aspartic proteases in industries is due to their high catalytic function and high degree of substrate selectivity. These properties, however, are attributable to molecular alterations in their structure and a variety of other characteristics. Molecular tools, functional genomics, and genome editing technologies coupled with other biotechnological approaches have aided in improving the potential of industrially important microbial proteases by addressing some of their major limitations, such as: low catalytic efficiency, low conversion rates, low thermostability, and less enzyme yield. However, the native folding within their full domain is dependent on a surrounding structure which challenges their functionality in substrate conversion, mainly due to their mutual interactions in the context of complex systems. Hence, manipulating their structure and controlling their expression systems could potentially produce enzymes with high selectivity and catalytic functions. The proteins produced by microbial aspartic proteases are industrially capable and far-reaching in regulating certain harmful distinctive industrial processes and the benefits of being eco-friendly. This review provides: an update on current trends and gaps in microbial protease biotechnology, exploring the relevant recombinant strategies and molecular technologies widely used in expression platforms for engineering microbial aspartic proteases, as well as their potential industrial and biotechnological applications.

Abstract
Proteases, enzymes that catalyze the hydrolysis of peptide bonds in proteins, are important in the food industry, biotechnology, and medical fields. With increasing demand for proteases, there is a growing emphasis on enhancing their expression and production through microbial systems. However, proteases' native hosts often fall short in high-level expression and compatibility with downstream applications. As a result, the recombinant production of proteases has become a significant focus, offering a solution to these challenges. This review presents an overview of the current state of protease production in prokaryotic and eukaryotic expression systems, highlighting key findings and trends. In prokaryotic systems, the Bacillus spp. is the predominant host for proteinase expression. Yeasts are commonly used in eukaryotic systems. Recent advancements in protease engineering over the past five years, including rational design and directed evolution, are also highlighted. By exploring the progress in both expression systems and engineering techniques, this review provides a detailed understanding of the current landscape of recombinant protease research and its prospects for future advancements.

[PMID: 37977424 DOI: 10.1016/j.jep.2023.117422] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/31/2023] [Revised: 11/05/2023] [Accepted: 11/11/2023] [Indexed: 11/19/2023]
Abstract
ETHNOPHARMCOLOGICAL RELEVANCE The formation of biofilms is a factor leading to chronic infection and drug resistance in melioidosis. The production of biofilm formation and many virulence factors are regulated by quorum sensing (QS). Therefore, the discovery of QS inhibitors to reduce antibiotic abuse has attracted a lot of attention. In this case, the methanol extract of a unique ethnic medicinal plant partridge tea (Mallotus oblongifolius (Miq.) Müll.Arg.) and its isolated active compound were used as biofilms and QS inhibitors against Burkholderia thailandensis. AIM OF THE STUDY The purpose of this study is to investigate the anti-biofilm and anti-QS effect of the ethnic medicinal plant partridge tea and its active compounds against B. thailandensis. METHODS Active compound was isolated using classical phytochemical separation techniques under activity tracking. The biofilm and virulence factors (Proteases, lipases, rhamnolipids, and motility) of B. thailandensis were used to evaluate the activity of crude extracts and isolated compounds. RESULTS In this study, the extract of partridge tea and MG had good QS inhibitors activity against B. thailandensis E264. MG was investigated to inhibit QS-related virulence factors and the biofilm formation against B. thailandensis E264. The lipase activity of B. thailandensis E264 decreased by 49.41% at 150 μg/mL. At 75 μg/mL and 150 μg/mL, the erasion of mature biofilms reached 28.18% and 70.87%, respectively. Correspondingly, 150 μg/mL MG could significantly decrease btaR1 and btaR3 by 55.78% and 56.24%, respectively. Contradictorily, the rhamnolipid production of B. thailandensis E264 was 1.67 folds that of the control group at 150 μg/mL MG. CONCLUSION Through molecular docking analysis and biological phenotype data, we speculate that MG may inhibit the biofilms and virulence factors of B. thailandensis E264 by interfering two QS systems, BtaI1/R1 and BtaI3/R3. Therefore, MG should be one potential QSI for the treatment of Burkholderia pathogens.

Abstract
A chitinase (PbChi70) from Paenibacillus barengoltzii was engineered by directed evolution to enhance its hydrolysis efficiency towards powder chitin. Through two rounds of screening, a mutant (mPbChi70) with a maximum specific activity of 73.21 U/mg was obtained, which is by far the highest value ever reported. The mutant gene was further transformed into Aspergillus niger FBL-B (ΔglaA) which could secrete high level of endogenously β-N-acetylglucosaminidase (GlcNAcase), thus a two-enzyme expression system was constructed. The highest chitinase activity of 61.33 U/mL with GlcNAcase activity of 353.1 U/mL was obtained in a 5-L fermentor by high-cell density fermentation. The chitin-degrading enzyme cocktail was used for the bioconversion of GlcNAc from powder chitin directly, and the highest conversion ratio reached high up to 71.9 % (w/w) with GlcNAc purity ≥95 % (w/w). This study may provide an excellent chitinase as well as a double enzyme cocktail system for efficient biological conversion of chitin materials.

Abstract
Different microorganisms can produce different proteases, which can adapt to different industrial requirements such as pH, temperature, and pressure. Salt-tolerant proteases (STPs) from microorganisms exhibit higher salt tolerance, wider adaptability, and more efficient catalytic ability under extreme conditions compared to conventional proteases. These unique enzymes hold great promise for applications in various industries including food, medicine, environmental protection, agriculture, detergents, dyes, and others. Scientific studies on microbial-derived STPs have been widely reported, but there has been little systematic review of microbial-derived STPs and their application in high-salt conventional soybean fermentable foods. This review presents the STP-producing microbial species and their selection methods, and summarizes and analyzes the salt tolerance mechanisms of the microorganisms. It also outlines various techniques for the isolation and purification of STPs from microorganisms and discusses the salt tolerance mechanisms of STPs. Furthermore, this review demonstrates the contribution of modern biotechnology in the screening of novel microbial-derived STPs and their improvement in salt tolerance. It highlights the potential applications and commercial value of salt-tolerant microorganisms and STPs in high-salt traditional soy fermented foods. The review ends with concluding remarks on the challenges and future directions for microbial-derived STPs. This review provides valuable insights into the separation, purification, performance enhancement, and application of microbial-derived STPs in traditional fermented foods.

Abstract
CRISPR/Cas9 system-mediated multi-copy expression of an alkaline serine protease (AoproS8) from Aspergillus oryzae was successfully built in Aspergillus niger. Furthermore, AoproS8 was continuously knocked in the glaA, amyA, and aamy gene loci in A. niger to construct multi-copy expression strains. The yield of the AoproS8 3.0 strain was 2.1 times higher than that of the AoproS8 1.0 strain. Then, a high protease activity of 11,023.2 U/mL with a protein concentration of 10.8 mg/mL was obtained through fed-batch fermentation in a 5 L fermenter. This is the first report on the high-level expression of alkaline serine proteases in A. niger. AoproS8 showed optimal activity at pH 9.0 and 40 °C. It was used for the production of xanthine oxidase (XOD)-inhibitory peptides from eight food processing protein by-products. Among them, the duck hemoglobin hydrolysates showed the highest XOD-inhibitory activity with an IC50 value of 2.39 mg/mL. Thus, our work provides a useful way for efficient expression of proteases in A. niger and high-value utilization of protein by-products.
