Abstract
Fatty acid and polyketide biosynthetic enzymes exploit the reactivity of acyl- and malonyl-thioesters for catalysis. A prime example is FabH, which initiates fatty acid biosynthesis in many bacteria and plants. FabH performs an acyltransferase reaction with acetyl-CoA to generate an acetyl-S-FabH acyl-enzyme intermediate and subsequent decarboxylative Claisen-condensation with a malonyl-thioester carried by an acyl carrier protein (ACP). We envision that crystal structures of FabH with substrate analogues can provide insight into the conformational changes and enzyme/substrate interactions underpinning the distinct reactions. Here, we synthesize acetyl/malonyl-CoA analogues with esters or amides in place of the thioester and characterize their stability and behavior as Escherichia coli FabH substrates or inhibitors to inform structural studies. We also characterize the analogues with mutant FabH C112Q that mimics the acyl-enzyme intermediate allowing dissection of the decarboxylation reaction. The acetyl- and malonyl-oxa(dethia)CoA analogues undergo extremely slow hydrolysis in the presence of FabH or the C112Q mutant. Decarboxylation of malonyl-oxa(dethia)CoA by FabH or C112Q mutant was not detected. The amide analogues were completely stable to enzyme activity. In enzyme assays with acetyl-CoA and malonyl-CoA (rather than malonyl-ACP) as substrates, acetyl-oxa(dethia)CoA is surprisingly slightly activating, while acetyl-aza(dethia)CoA is a moderate inhibitor. The malonyl-oxa/aza(dethia)CoAs are inhibitors with Ki's near the Km of malonyl-CoA. For comparison, we determine the FabH catalyzed decomposition rates for acetyl/malonyl-CoA, revealing some fundamental catalytic traits of FabH, including hysteresis for malonyl-CoA decarboxylation. The stability and inhibitory properties of the substrate analogues make them promising for structure-function studies to reveal fatty acid and polyketide enzyme/substrate interactions.

Abstract
Isomerases are enzymes that induce physical changes in a molecule without affecting the original molecular formula. Among this class of enzymes, xylose isomerases (XIs) are the most studied to date, partly due to their extensive application in industrial processes to produce high-fructose corn sirups. In recent years, the need for sustainable initiatives has triggered efforts to improve the biobased economy through the use of renewable raw materials. In this context, D-xylose usage is crucial as it is the second-most abundant sugar in nature. The application of XIs in biotransforming xylose, enabling downstream metabolism in several microorganisms, is a smart strategy for ensuring a low-carbon footprint and producing several value-added biochemicals with broad industrial applications such as in the food, cosmetics, pharmaceutical, and polymer industries. Considering recent advancements that have expanded the range of applications of XIs, this review provides a comprehensive and concise overview of XIs, from their primary sources to the biochemical and structural features that influence their mechanisms of action. This comprehensive review may help address the challenges involved in XI applications in different industries and facilitate the exploitation of xylose bioprocesses.

Abstract
Understanding the aspects that contribute to improving proteins' biochemical properties is of high relevance for protein engineering. Properties such as the catalytic rate, thermal stability, and thermal resistance are crucial for applying enzymes in the industry. Different interactions can influence those biochemical properties of an enzyme. Among them, the surface charge-charge interactions have been a target of particular attention. In this study, we employ the Tanford-Kirkwood solvent accessibility model using the Monte Carlo algorithm (TKSA-MC) to predict possible interactions that could improve stability and catalytic rate of a WT xylanase (XynAWT) and its M6 xylanase (XynAM6) mutant. The modeling prediction indicates that mutating from a lysine in position 99 to a glutamic acid (K99E) favors the native state stabilization in both xylanases. Our lab results showed that mutated xylanases had their thermotolerance and catalytic rate increased, which conferred higher processivity of delignified sugarcane bagasse. The TKSA-MC approach employed here is presented as an efficient computational-based design strategy that can be applied to improve the thermal resistance of enzymes with industrial and biotechnological applications.

Abstract
Cold-adapted endo-β-1,4-glucanases hold great potential for industrial processes requiring high activity at mild temperatures such as in food processing and extraction of bioactive compounds from plants. Here, we identified and explored the specificity, mode of action, kinetic behavior, molecular structure and biotechnological application of a novel endo-β-1,4-glucanase (XacCel8) from the phytopathogen Xanthomonas citri subsp. citri. This enzyme belongs to an uncharacterized phylogenetic branch of the glycoside hydrolase family 8 (GH8) and specifically cleaves internal β-1,4-linkages of cellulose and mixed-linkage β-glucans releasing short cello-oligosaccharides ranging from cellobiose to cellohexaose. XacCel8 acts in near-neutral pHs and in a broad temperature range (10-50 °C), which are distinguishing features from conventional thermophilic β-1,4-glucanases. Interestingly, XacCel8 was greatly stimulated by cobalt ions, which conferred higher conformational stability and boosted the enzyme turnover number. The potential application of XacCel8 was demonstrated in the caffeine extraction from guarana seeds, which improved the yield by 2.5 g/kg compared to the traditional hydroethanolic method (HEM), indicating to be an effective additive in this industrial process. Therefore, XacCel8 is a metal-stimulated and cold-adapted endo-β-1,4-glucanase that could be applied in a diverse range of biotechnological processes under mild conditions such as caffeine extraction from guarana seeds.

Abstract
Here, it is shown three-step investigative procedures aiming to improve pentose-rich fermentations performance, involving a simple system for elevated mass production by Scheffersomyces stipitis (I), cellular recycle batch fermentations (CRBFs) at high cell density using two temperature strategies (fixed at 30°C; decreasing from 30 to 26°C) (II), and a short-term adaptation action seeking to acclimatize the microorganism in xylose rich-media (III). Cellular propagation provided 0.52gdrycellweightgRS(-1), resulting in an expressive value of 45.9gdrycellweightL(-1). The yeast robustness in CRBF was proven by effective ethanol production, reaching high xylose consumption (81%) and EtOH productivity (1.53gL(-1)h(-1)). Regarding the short-term adaptation, S. stipitis strengthened its robustness, as shown by a 6-fold increase in xylose reductase (XR) activity. The short fermentation time (20h for each batch) and the fermentation kinetics for ethanol production from xylose are quite promising.
