Biochemical properties of a Flavobacterium johnsoniae dextranase and its biotechnological potential for Streptococcus mutans biofilm degradation. World J Microbiol Biotechnol 2024; 40:201.

Abstract
Cariogenic biofilms have a matrix rich in exopolysaccharides (EPS), mutans and dextrans, that contribute to caries development. Although several physical and chemical treatments can be employed to remove oral biofilms, those are only partly efficient and use of biofilm-degrading enzymes represents an exciting opportunity to improve the performance of oral hygiene products. In the present study, a member of a glycosyl hydrolase family 66 from Flavobacterium johnsoniae (FjGH66) was heterologously expressed and biochemically characterized. The recombinant FjGH66 showed a hydrolytic activity against an early EPS-containing S. mutans biofilm, and, when associated with a α-(1,3)-glucosyl hydrolase (mutanase) from GH87 family, displayed outstanding performance, removing more than 80% of the plate-adhered biofilm. The mixture containing FjGH66 and Prevotella melaninogenica GH87 α-1,3-mutanase was added to a commercial mouthwash liquid to synergistically remove the biofilm. Dental floss and polyethylene disks coated with biofilm-degrading enzymes also degraded plate-adhered biofilm with a high efficiency. The results presented in this study might be valuable for future development of novel oral hygiene products.

Abstract
Dextran, an α-glucan mainly composed of (α1 → 6) linkages, has been widely applied in the food, cosmetic, and medicine industries. Dextranase can hydrolyze dextran to synthesize oligodextrans, which show prominent properties and promising applications in the food industry. Dextranases are widely distributed in bacteria, yeasts, and fungus, and classified into glycoside hydrolase (GH) 13, 15, 31, 49, and 66 families according to their sequence similarity, structural features, and reaction types. Dextranase, as a dextran-hydrolyzing enzyme, displays great application potential in the sugar-making, oral health care, medicine, and biotechnology industries. Here we mainly focused on presenting the enzymatic properties, structural features, and versatile (potential) applications of dextranase. To date, seven crystal structures of dextranases from GH 13, 15, 31, 49, and 66 families have been successfully solved. However, their molecular mechanisms for hydrolyzing dextran, especially on the size determinants of the hydrolysates, remain largely unknown. Additionally, the classification, microbial distribution, and immobilization technology of dextranase were also discussed in detail. This review discussed dextranase from different aspects with the ambition to present how they constitute the groundwork for promising future developments.

Abstract
Dextranase, also known as glucanase, is a hydrolase enzyme that cleaves α-1,6 glycosidic bonds. In this study, a dextranase-producing strain was isolated from water samples of the Qingdao Sea and identified as Microbacterium sp. This strain was further evaluated for growth conditions, enzyme-producing conditions, enzymatic properties, and hydrolysates. Yeast extract and sodium chloride were found to be the most suitable carbon and nitrogen sources for strain growth, while sucrose and ammonium sodium were found to be suitable carbon and nitrogen sources for fermentation. The optimal pH was 7.5, with a culture temperature of 40 °C and a culture time of 48 h. Dextranase produced by strain XD05 showed good thermal stability at 40 °C by retaining more than 70% relative enzyme activity. The pH stability of the enzyme was better under a weak alkaline condition (pH 6.0-8.0). The addition of NH4+ increased dextranase activity, while Co2+ and Mn2+ had slight inhibitory effects on dextranase activity. In addition, high-performance liquid chromatography showed that dextran is mainly hydrolyzed to maltoheptanose, maltohexanose, maltopentose, and maltootriose. Moreover, it can form corn porous starch. Dextranase can be used in various fields, such as food, medicine, chemical industry, cosmetics, and agriculture.

Abstract
Glucose is the most abundant monosaccharide in nature and is an important energy source for living organisms. Glucose exists primarily as oligomers or polymers and organisms break it down and consume it. Starch is an important plant-derived α-glucan in the human diet. The enzymes that degrade this α-glucan have been well studied as they are ubiquitous throughout nature. Some bacteria and fungi produce α-glucans with different glucosidic linkages compared with that of starch, and their structures are quite complex and not fully understood. Compared with enzymes that degrade the α-(1→4) and α-(1→6) linkages in starch, biochemical and structural studies of the enzymes that catabolize α-glucans from these microorganisms are limited. This review focuses on glycoside hydrolases that act on microbial exopolysaccharide α-glucans containing α-(1→6), α-(1→3), and α-(1→2) linkages. Recently acquired information regarding microbial genomes has contributed to the discovery of enzymes with new substrate specificities compared with that of previously studied enzymes. The discovery of new microbial α-glucan-hydrolyzing enzymes suggests previously unknown carbohydrate utilization pathways and reveals strategies for microorganisms to obtain energy from external sources. In addition, structural analysis of α-glucan degrading enzymes has revealed their substrate recognition mechanisms and expanded their potential use as tools for understanding complex carbohydrate structures. In this review, the author summarizes the recent progress in the structural biology of microbial α-glucan degrading enzymes, touching on previous studies of microbial α-glucan degrading enzymes.

Abstract
As an indispensable enzyme for the hydrolysis of dextran, dextranase has been widely used in the fields of food and medicine. It should be noted that the weak thermostability of dextranase has become a restricted factor for industrial applications. This study aims to improve the thermostability of dextranase AoDex in glycoside hydrolase (GH) family 49 that derived from Arthrobacter oxydans KQ11. Some mutants were predicted and constructed based on B-factor analysis, PoPMuSiC and HotMuSiC algorithms, and four mutants exhibited higher heat resistance. Compared with the wild-type, mutant S357P showed the best improved thermostability with a 5.4-fold increase of half-life at 60 °C, and a 2.1-fold increase of half-life at 65 °C. Furthermore, S357V displayed the most obvious increase in enzymatic activity and thermostability simultaneously. Structural modeling analysis indicated that the improved thermostability of mutants might be attributed to the introduction of proline and hydrophobic effects, which generated the rigid optimization of the structural conformation. These results illustrated that it was effective to improve the thermostability of dextranase AoDex by rational design and site-directed mutagenesis. The thermostable mutant of dextranase AoDex has potential application value, and it can also provide references for engineering other thermostable dextranases of the GH49 family.

J Biotechnol 2022; 360:142-151.

Abstract
The thermal stability of enzymes dramatically limits their application in the industrial field. Based on the crystal structure, we conducted a semi-rational design according to the B-factor and free energy values to improve the stability of dextranase from Streptococcus mutans (SmdexTM). The B-factor values of Asn102, Asn503, Asp501 and Asp500 were the highest predicted by B-FITTER. Then Rosetta was used to simulate the saturation mutations of Asn102, Asn503, Asp501 and Asp500. The mutated amino acid was designed according to the change of acG. The results showed that the thermal stability of N102P, N102C, D500G, and D500T was improved, and the half-lives of N102P/D500G and N102P/D500T at 45 °C were increased to 3.14 times and 2.44 times, respectively. Analyzing the interaction of amino acids by using Discovery Studio 4.5, it was observed that the thermal stability of dextranase was improved due to the increase in hydrophobicity and the number of hydrogen bonds of the mutant enzyme. The catalytic efficiency of N102P/D500T was increased. Compared with the hydrolyzed products of SmdexTM, the mutant enzymes do not change the specificity of hydrolysates.

Abstract
The cold-adapted and/or salt-tolerant enzymes from marine microorganisms were confirmed to be meritorious tools to enhance the efficiency of biocatalysis in industrial biotechnology. We purified and characterized a dextranase CeDex from the marine bacterium Cellulosimicrobium sp. THN1. CeDex acted in alkaline pHs (7.5-8.5) and a broad temperature range (10-50°C) with sufficient pH stability and thermostability. Remarkably, CeDex retained approximately 40% of its maximal activities at 4°C and increased its activity to 150% in 4 M NaCl, displaying prominently cold adaptation and salt tolerance. Moreover, CeDex was greatly stimulated by Mg2+, Na+, Ba2+, Ca2+ and Sr2+, and sugarcane juice always contains K+, Ca2+, Mg2+ and Na+, so CeDex will be suitable for removing dextran in the sugar industry. The main hydrolysate of CeDex was isomaltotriose, accompanied by isomaltotetraose, long-chain IOMs, and a small amount of isomaltose. The amino acid sequence of CeDex was identified from the THN1 genomic sequence by Nano LC-MS/MS and classified into the GH49 family. Notably, CeDex could prevent the formation of Streptococcus mutans biofilm and disassemble existing biofilms at 10 U/ml concentration and would have great potential to defeat biofilm-related dental caries.

Abstract
Dextran, a renewable hydrophilic polysaccharide, is nontoxic, highly stable but intrinsically biodegradable. The α-1, 6 glycosidic bonds in dextran are attacked by dextranase (E.C. 3.2.1.11) which is an inducible enzyme. Dextranase finds many applications such as, in sugar industry, in the production of human plasma substitutes, and for the treatment and prevention of dental plaque. Currently, dextranases are obtained from terrestrial fungi which have longer duration for production but not very tolerant to environmental conditions and have safety concerns. Marine bacteria have been proposed as an alternative source of these enzymes and can provide prospects to overcome these issues. Indeed, marine bacterial dextranases are reportedly more effective and suitable for dental caries prevention and treatment. Here, we focused on properties of dextran, properties of dextran—hydrolyzing enzymes, particularly from marine sources and the biochemical features of these enzymes. Lastly the potential use of these marine bacterial dextranase to remove dental plaque has been discussed. The review covers dextranase-producing bacteria isolated from shrimp, fish, algae, sea slit, and sea water, as well as from macro- and micro fungi and other microorganisms. It is common knowledge that dextranase is used in the sugar industry; produced as a result of hydrolysis by dextranase and have prebiotic properties which influence the consistency and texture of food products. In medicine, dextranases are used to make blood substitutes. In addition, dextranase is used to produce low molecular weight dextran and cytotoxic dextran. Furthermore, dextranase is used to enhance antibiotic activity in endocarditis. It has been established that dextranase from marine bacteria is the most preferable for removing plaque, as it has a high enzymatic activity. This study lays the groundwork for the future design and development of different oral care products, based on enzymes derived from marine bacteria.

Abstract
Members of the gut microbiota genus Bifidobacterium are widely distributed human and animal symbionts believed to exert beneficial effects on their hosts. However, in-depth genomic analyses of animal-associated species and strains are somewhat lacking, particularly in wild animal populations. Here, to examine patterns of host specificity and carbohydrate metabolism capacity, we sequenced whole genomes of Bifidobacterium isolated from wild-caught small mammals from two European countries (UK and Lithuania). Members of Bifidobacterium castoris, Bifidobacterium animalis and Bifodobacterium pseudolongum were detected in wild mice (Apodemus sylvaticus, Apodemus agrarius and Apodemus flavicollis), but not voles or shrews. B. castoris constituted the most commonly recovered Bifidobacterium (78% of all isolates), with the majority of strains only detected in a single population, although populations frequently harboured multiple co-circulating strains. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that the mouse-associated B. castoris clades were not specific to a particular location or host species, and their distribution across the host phylogeny was consistent with regular host shifts rather than host-microbe codiversification. Functional analysis, including in vitro growth assays, suggested that mouse-derived B. castoris strains encoded an extensive arsenal of carbohydrate-active enzymes, including putative novel glycosyl hydrolases such as chitosanases, along with genes encoding putative exopolysaccharides, some of which may have been acquired via horizontal gene transfer. Overall, these results provide a rare genome-level analysis of host specificity and genomic capacity among important gut symbionts of wild animals, and reveal that Bifidobacterium has a labile relationship with its host over evolutionary time scales.

Removal of bacterial dextran in sugarcane juice by Talaromyces minioluteus dextranase expressed constitutively in Pichia pastoris. J Biotechnol 2021; 333:10-20. [PMID: 33901619 DOI: 10.1016/j.jbiotec.2021.04.006] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/31/2020] [Revised: 04/15/2021] [Accepted: 04/18/2021] [Indexed: 11/27/2022]
Abstract
A gene construct encoding the mature region of Talaromyces minioluteus dextranase (EC 3.2.1.11) fused to the Saccharomyces cerevisiae SUC2 signal sequence was expressed in Pichia pastoris under the constitutive glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase promoter (pGAP). The increase of the transgene dosage from one to two and four copies enhanced proportionally the extracellular yield of the recombinant enzyme (r-TmDEX) without inhibiting cell growth. The volumetric productivity of the four-copy clone in fed batch fermentation (51 h) using molasses as carbon source was 1706 U/L/h. The secreted N-glycosylated r-TmDEX was optimally active at pH 4.5-5.5 and temperature 50-60 °C. The addition of sucrose (600 g/L) as a stabilizer retained intact the r-TmDEX activity after 1-h incubation at 50-60 °C and pH 5.5. Bacterial dextran in deteriorated sugarcane juice was completely removed by applying a crude preparation of secreted r-TmDEX. The high yield of r-TmDEX in methanol-free cultures and the low cost of the fed batch fermentation make the P. pastoris pGAP-based expression system appropriate for the large scale production of dextranase and its use for dextran removal at sugar mills.

Abstract
The microbial production of dextranase using cheap carbon sources is beneficial to solve the economic loss caused by the accumulation of dextran in syrup. A food-grade microbial cell factory was constructed by introducing the dextranase encoding gene DEX from Chaetomium gracile to the chromosome of Bacillus subtilis, and the antibiotic resistance marker gene was subsequently deleted via the Cre/loxP strategy. The dual-promoter system with a sequentially arranged constitutive P43 promoter resulted in an 85 % increase in DEX expression. Under the optimal fermentation conditions of 10 g/L maltose, 15 g/L casein, 1 g/L Na2 HPO4 , 1 g/L FeSO4 and 8 g/L NaCl, DEX activity was increased from 2.625 to 64.34 U/mL. Recombinant DEX was purified 5.98-fold with a recovery ratio of 26.67 % and specific activity of 3935.02 U/mg. Enzyme activity was optimal at 55 °C and pH 5.0 and remained 80.34 % and 71.36 % of the initial activity at 55 °C and pH 4.0 after 60 min, respectively. The enzyme possessed high activity in the presence of Co2+ , while Ag+ showed the strongest inhibition ability. The optimal substrate was 20 g/L dextran T-2000. The findings could facilitate the low-cost, large-scale production of food-grade DEX for use in the sugar industry.
