Cloning and expression heterologous alanine dehydrogenase genes: Investigation of reductive amination potential of L-alanine dehydrogenases for green synthesis of alanine derivatives. Heliyon 2024; 10:e26899. [PMID: 38463761 PMCID: PMC10923667 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2024.e26899] [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: 12/29/2023] [Revised: 02/09/2024] [Accepted: 02/21/2024] [Indexed: 03/12/2024] Open
Abstract
Unnatural amino acids (UAAs) offer significant promise in a wide range of applications, including drug discovery, the custom design of peptides and proteins, and their utility and use as markers for monitoring molecular interactions in biological research. The synthesis of UAAs presents a formidable challenge and can be classified into two primary categories: enzymatic and chemical synthesis. Notably, the enzymatic route, specifically asymmetric synthesis, emerges as a an attractive method for procuring enantiopure UAAs with high efficiency, owing to its streamlined and concise reaction mechanism. The current study investigated the reductive amination activity mechanisms of alanine dehydrogenase (L-AlaDH), sourced from a combination of newly and previously characterized microorganisms. Our principal aim was to evaluate the catalytic efficiency of these L-AlaDH enzymes concerning a range of specific ketoacids and pyruvate to ascertain their capability for facilitating the production of both natural and unnatural amino acids. After the characterization processes, mutation points for TtAlaDH were determined and as a result of the mutations, mutants that could use ketocaproate and ketovalerate more effectively than the wild type were obtained. Among the enzymes studied, MetAlaDH exhibited the highest specific activity against pyruvate, 173 U/mg, and a KM value of 1.3 mM. VlAlaDH displayed the most favourable catalytic efficiency with a rate constant of 170 s-1mM-1. On the other hand, AfAlaDH demonstrated the highest catalytic efficiency against α-ketobutyrate (34.0 s-1mM-1) and α-ketovalerate (2.7 s-1mM-1). Of the enzymes investigated in the study, TtAlaDH exhibited the highest effectiveness among bacterial enzymes in catalyzing ketocaproate with a measured catalytic efficiency of about 0.6 s-1mM-1 and a KM value of approximately 0.3 mM. These findings provide valuable insights into the substrate specificity and catalytic performance of L-AlaDHs, enhancing our understanding of their potential applications in various biocatalytic processes.

A newly synthesized magnetic nanoparticle coated with glycidyl methacrylate monomer and 1,2,4-Triazole: Immobilization of α-Amylase from Bacillus licheniformis for more reuse, stability, and activity in the presence of H 2O 2. Bioorg Chem 2024; 143:107068. [PMID: 38181659 DOI: 10.1016/j.bioorg.2023.107068] [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: 10/16/2023] [Revised: 12/11/2023] [Accepted: 12/24/2023] [Indexed: 01/07/2024]
Abstract
α-Amylase is a secretory enzyme commonly found in nature. The α-Amylase enzyme catalyzes the hydrolysis of α-D-(1,4)-glucosidic bonds in starch, glycogen, and polysaccharides. The chemical characterization of the composite carrier and the immobilized enzyme was performed, and the accuracy of the immobilization was confirmed by FTIR, SEM, and EDS analyses. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis indicates that the magnetic nanoparticle retained its magnetic properties following the modification process. Based on the Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA) outcomes, it was evident that the structural integrity of the FPT nanocomposite remained unchanged at 200°C. The optimal pH was determined to be 5.5, and no alteration was observed following the immobilization process. Purified α-amylases usually lose their activity rapidly above 50°C. In this study, Bacillus licheniformis α-Amylase enzyme was covalently immobilized on the newly synthesized magnetic composite carrier having more azole functional group. For novelty-designed immobilized enzymes, while there is no change in the pH and optimum operating temperature of the enzyme with immobilization, two essential advantages are provided to reduce enzyme costs: the storage stability and reusability are increased. Furthermore, our immobilization technique enhanced enzyme stability when comparing our immobilized enzyme with the reference enzyme in industrial applications. The activity of the immobilized enzyme was higher in presence of 1-3% H2O2.

Application of reductive amination by heterologously expressed Thermomicrobium roseumL-alanine dehydrogenase to synthesize L-alanine derivatives. Enzyme Microb Technol 2023; 169:110265. [PMID: 37269617 DOI: 10.1016/j.enzmictec.2023.110265] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/08/2023] [Revised: 05/21/2023] [Accepted: 05/22/2023] [Indexed: 06/05/2023]
Abstract
Unnatural amino acids are unique building blocks in modern medicinal chemistry as they contain an amino and a carboxylic acid functional group, and a variable side chain. Synthesis of pure unnatural amino acids can be made through chemical modification of natural amino acids or by employing enzymes that can lead to novel molecules used in the manufacture of various pharmaceuticals. The NAD+ -dependent alanine dehydrogenase (AlaDH) enzyme catalyzes the conversion of pyruvate to L-alanine by transferring ammonium in a reversible reductive amination activity. Although AlaDH enzymes have been widely studied in terms of oxidative deamination activity, reductive amination activity studies have been limited to the use of pyruvate as a substrate. The reductive amination potential of heterologously expressed, highly pure Thermomicrobium roseum alanine dehydrogenase (TrAlaDH) was examined with regard to pyruvate, α-ketobutyrate, α-ketovalerate and α-ketocaproate. The biochemical properties were studied, which included the effects of 11 metal ions on enzymatic activity for both reactions. The enzyme accepted both derivatives of L-alanine (in oxidative deamination) and pyruvate (in reductive amination) as substrates. While the kinetic KM values associated with the pyruvate derivatives were similar to pyruvate values, the kinetic kcat values were significantly affected by the side chain increase. In contrast, KM values associated with the derivatives of L-alanine (L-α-aminobutyrate, L-norvaline, and L-norleucine) were approximately two orders of magnitude greater, which would indicate that they bind very poorly in a reactive way to the active site. The modeled enzyme structure revealed differences in the molecular orientation between L-alanine/pyruvate and L-norleucine/α-ketocaproate. The reductive activity observed would indicate that TrAlaDH has potential for the synthesis of pharmaceutically relevant amino acids.

Second generation Pichia pastoris strain and bioprocess designs. BIOTECHNOLOGY FOR BIOFUELS AND BIOPRODUCTS 2022; 15:150.

Abstract
Yeast was the first microorganism used by mankind for biotransformation processes that laid the foundations of industrial biotechnology. In the last decade, Pichia pastoris has become the leading eukaryotic host organism for bioproduct generation. Most of the P. pastoris bioprocess operations has been relying on toxic methanol and glucose feed. In the actual bioeconomy era, for sustainable value-added bioproduct generation, non-conventional yeast P. pastoris bioprocess operations should be extended to low-cost and renewable substrates for large volume bio-based commodity productions. In this review, we evaluated the potential of P. pastoris for the establishment of circular bioeconomy due to its potential to generate industrially relevant bioproducts from renewable sources and waste streams in a cost-effective and environmentally friendly manner. Furthermore, we discussed challenges with the second generation P. pastoris platforms and propose novel insights for future perspectives. In this regard, potential of low cost substrate candidates, i.e., lignocellulosic biomass components, cereal by-products, sugar industry by-products molasses and sugarcane bagasse, high fructose syrup by-products, biodiesel industry by-product crude glycerol, kitchen waste and other agri-food industry by products were evaluated for P. pastoris cell growth promoting effects and recombinant protein production. Further metabolic pathway engineering of P. pastoris to construct renewable and low cost substrate utilization pathways was discussed. Although, second generation P. pastoris bioprocess operations for valorisation of wastes and by-products still in its infancy, rapidly emerging synthetic biology tools and metabolic engineering of P. pastoris will pave the way for more sustainable environment and bioeconomy. From environmental point of view, second generation bioprocess development is also important for waste recycling otherwise disposal of carbon-rich effluents creates environmental concerns. P. pastoris high tolerance to toxic contaminants found in lignocellulosic biomass hydrolysate and industrial waste effluent crude glycerol provides the yeast with advantages to extend its applications toward second generation P. pastoris strain design and bioprocess engineering, in the years to come.

Recombinant protein production in Pichia pastoris: From transcriptionally redesigned strains to bioprocess optimization and metabolic modelling. FEMS Yeast Res 2021; 21:6424904.

Abstract
Pichia pastoris is one of the most widely used host for the production of recombinant proteins. Expression systems that rely mostly on promoters from genes encoding alcohol oxidase 1 or glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase have been developed together with related bioreactor operation strategies based on carbon sources such as methanol, glycerol, or glucose. Although, these processes are relatively efficient and easy to use, there have been notable improvements over the last twenty years to better control gene expression from these promoters and their engineered variants. Methanol-free and more efficient protein production platforms have been developed by engineering promoters and transcription factors. The production window of P. pastoris has been also extended by using alternative feedstocks including ethanol, lactic acid, mannitol, sorbitol, sucrose, xylose, gluconate, formate, or rhamnose. Herein, the specific aspects that are emerging as key parameters for recombinant protein synthesis are discussed. For this purpose, a holistic approach has been considered to scrutinize protein production processes from strain design to bioprocess optimization, particularly focusing on promoter engineering, transcriptional circuitry redesign. This review also considers the optimization of bioprocess based on alternative carbon sources and derived co-feeding strategies. Optimization strategies for recombinant protein synthesis through metabolic modelling are also discussed.

Abstract
In recent years, CO2 reduction and utilization have been proposed as an innovative solution for global warming and the ever-growing energy and raw material demands. In contrast to various classical methods, including chemical, electrochemical, and photochemical methods, enzymatic methods offer a green and sustainable option for CO2 conversion. In addition, enzymatic hydrogenation of CO2 into platform chemicals could be used to produce economically useful hydrogen storage materials, making it a win-win strategy. The thermodynamic and kinetic stability of the CO2 molecule makes its utilization a challenging task. However, Nicotine adenine dinucleotide (NAD+)-dependent formate dehydrogenases (FDHs), which have high selectivity and specificity, are attractive catalysts to overcome this issue and convert CO2 into fuels and renewable chemicals. It is necessary to improve the stability, cofactor necessity, and CO2 conversion efficiency of these enzymes, such as by combining them with appropriate hybrid systems. However, metal-independent, NAD+-dependent FDHs, and their CO2 reduction activity have received limited attention to date. This review outlines the CO2 reduction ability of these enzymes as well as their properties, reaction mechanisms, immobilization strategies, and integration with electrochemical and photochemical systems for the production of formic acid or formate. The biotechnological applications of FDH, future perspectives, barriers to CO2 reduction with FDH, and aspects that must be further developed are briefly summarized. We propose that constructing hybrid systems that include NAD+-dependent FDHs is a promising approach to convert CO2 and strengthen the sustainable carbon bio-economy.

Abstract
In this study, a laccase from Madurella mycetomatis (MmLac) was produced heterologously in Pichia pastoris; the initial immobilization in a metal-organic framework (MOF) (MmLac/ZIF-8) was achieved using zinc nitrate and 2-methylimidazole. Due to the instability of MmLac/ZIF-8 in an acidic medium, a silica layer was created on the surface of MmLac/MOF-8. The immobilized laccase composite (silica@MmLac/ZIF-8) obtained was further treated with glutaraldehyde (silica@Glu-MmLac/ZIF-8) to increase stability of composite. Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy techniques were used to confirm the immobilization of MmLac and to investigate the morphology of the immobilized laccase samples. The MmLac samples were also characterised in terms of optimum pH, temperature and thermal stability. The optimum pH of all the MmLac samples was determined to be 4.0. The free MmLac showed maximum activity at 55 °C, whereas both silica@MmLac/ZIF-8 and silica@Glu-MmLac/ZIF-8 were maximumly active at 65 °C. The silica@MmLac/ZIF-8 and silica@Glu-MmLac/ZIF-8 were 9.3- and 11.8-fold higher in stability, respectively, than the free MmLac at 65 °C. Furthermore, both silica@MmLac/ZIF-8 and silica@Glu-MmLac/ZIF-8 showed a higher bleaching performance than free MmLac on cotton woven fabric. According to these results, silica@MmLac/ZIF-8 and silica@Glu-MmLac/ZIF-8 may be promising candidates for biocatalysts in laccase-based biotechnological applications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Polygalacturonases are a group of enzymes under pectinolytic enzymes related to enzymes that hydrolyse pectic substances. Polygalacturonases have been used in various industrial applications such as fruit juice clarification, retting of plant fibers, wastewater treatment drinks fermentation, and oil extraction. OBJECTIVES The study was evaluated at the heterologous expression, purification, biochemical characterization, computational modeling, and performance in apple juice clarification of a new exo-polygalacturonase from Sporothrix schenckii 1099-18 (SsExo-PG) in Pichia pastoris. METHODS Recombinant DNA technology was used in this study. Two different pPIC9K plasmids were constructed with native signal sequence-ssexo-pg and alpha signal sequence-ssexo-pg separately. Protein expression and purification performed after plasmids transformed into the Pichia pastoris. Biochemical and structural analyses were performed by using pure SsExo-PG. RESULTS The purification of SsExo-PG was achieved using a Ni-NTA chromatography system. The enzyme was found to have a molecular mass of approximately 52 kDa. SsExo-PG presented as stable at a wide range of temperature and pH values, and to be more storage stable than other commercial pectinolytic enzyme mixtures. Structural analysis revealed that the catalytic residues of SsExo-PG are somewhat similar to other Exo-PGs. The KM and kcat values for the degradation of polygalacturonic acid (PGA) by the purified enzyme were found to be 0.5868 µM and 179 s-1, respectively. Cu2+ was found to enhance SsExo-PG activity while Ag2+ and Fe2+ almost completely inhibited enzyme activity. The enzyme reduced turbidity up to 80% thus enhanced the clarification of apple juice. SsExo-PG showed promising performance when compared with other commercial pectinolytic enzyme mixtures. CONCLUSION The clarification potential of SsExo-PG was revealed by comparing it with commercial pectinolytic enzymes. The following parameters of the process of apple juice clarification processes showed that SsExo-PG is highly stable and has a novel performance.

Abstract
Laccases are polyphenol oxidoreductases used in a number of industrial applications. Due to the increasing demand for these "green catalysis" enzymes, the identification and biochemical characterisation of their novel properties is essential. In our study, cloned Madurella mycetomatis laccase (mmlac) genes were heterologously expressed in the methylotrophic yeast host Pichia pastoris. The high yield of the active recombinant protein in P. pastoris demonstrates the efficiency of a reliably constructed plasmid to express the laccase gene. The optimal biochemical conditions for the successfully expressed MmLac enzyme were identified. Detailed structural properties of the recombinant laccase were determined, and its utility in decolourisation and textile bleaching applications was examined. MmLac demonstrates good activity in an acidic pH range (4.0-6.0); is stable in the presence of cationic metals, organic solvents and under high temperatures (50-60 °C); and is stable for long-term storage at - 20 °C and - 80 °C for up to eight weeks. The structural analysis revealed that the catalytic residues are partially similar to other laccases. MmLac resulted in an increase in whiteness, whilst demonstrating high efficiency and stability and requiring the input of fewer chemicals. The performance of this enzyme makes it worthy of investigation for use in textile biotechnology applications, as well as within environmental and food technologies.

Abstract
Nowadays, the use of formate dehydrogenase (FDH, EC 1.17.1.9) is well established as a means of NADH regeneration from NAD+ via the coupled conversion of formate into carbon dioxide. Recent studies have been reported that specifically Chaetomium thermophilum FDH (CtFDH) is the most efficient FDH catalyzing this reaction in reverse (i.e. using CO2 as a substrate to produce formate, and thereby regenerating NAD+). However, to date the production of active CtFDH at high protein expression levels has received relatively little attention. In this study, we have tested the effect of batch and high cell density fermentation (HCDF) strategies in a small stirred fermenter, as well as the effect of supplementing the medium with casamino acids, on the expressed level of secreted CtFDH using P. pastoris. We have established that the amount of expressed CtFDH was indeed enhanced via a HCDF strategy and that extracellular protease activity was eliminated via the addition of casamino acids into the fermentation medium. On this basis, secreted CtFDH in an active form can be easily separated from the fermentation and can be used for subsequent biotechnological applications.

Abstract
NAD(P)+ dependent formate dehydrogenase (FDH) is an oxidoreductase used as a biocatalyst to regenerate NAD(P)H in reductase-mediated chiral synthesis reactions. Solvent stability and the need to reduce NADP+ to NADPH, due to the high cost of NADPH, are required features in the industrial usage of FDHs. Therefore, we aimed to identify a novel, robust NADP+ dependent FDH and evaluate the effect of N- and C- terminus His tag extensions on protein solubility and activity. Herein, we report a novel, DMSO tolerant formate dehydrogenase (BdFDH), which has dual coenzyme specificity and tolerance to acidic pH, from Burkholderia dolosa PC543. N- and C-terminus His-tagged BdFDHs were expressed separately in Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3). The C-terminal His-tagged BdFDH was soluble and active whereas the N-terminal version was not. The enzyme displays dual coenzyme specificity and resistance to some organic solvents, particularly DMSO, and is able to tolerate acidic pH conditions. The apparent KM values for NADP+, NAD+ and sodium formate (with NADP+), are 1.17, 14.7 and 5.66 mM, respectively. As a result, due to its DMSO tolerance and coenzyme preference, this enzyme can be utilized as an NAD(P)H recycler in several biotransformations particularly when carried out under acidic conditions. Moreover, it can be said that the position of the His tag extension may affect the enzyme solubility and functionality.

Discovery of an acidic, thermostable and highly NADP + dependent formate dehydrogenase from Lactobacillus buchneri NRRL B-30929. Biotechnol Lett 2018; 40:1135-1147. [PMID: 29777512 DOI: 10.1007/s10529-018-2568-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 30] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/15/2018] [Accepted: 05/15/2018] [Indexed: 11/29/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES To identify a robust NADP+ dependent formate dehydrogenase from Lactobacillus buchneri NRRL B-30929 (LbFDH) with unique biochemical properties. RESULTS A new NADP+ dependent formate dehydrogenase gene (fdh) was cloned from genomic DNA of L. buchneri NRRL B-30929. The recombinant construct was expressed in Escherichia coli BL21(DE3) with 6 × histidine at the C-terminus and the purified protein obtained as a single band of approx. 44 kDa on SDS-PAGE and 90 kDa on native-PAGE. The LbFDH was highly active at acidic conditions (pH 4.8-6.2). Its optimum temperature was 60 °C and 50 °C with NADP+ and NAD+, respectively and its Tm value was 78 °C. Its activity did not decrease after incubation in a solution containing 20% of DMSO and acetonitrile for 6 h. The KM constants were 49.8, 0.12 and 1.68 mM for formate (with NADP+), NADP+ and NAD+, respectively. CONCLUSIONS An NADP+ dependent FDH from L. buchneri NRRL B-30929 was cloned, expressed and identified with its unusual characteristics. The LbFDH can be a promising candidate for NADPH regeneration through biocatalysis requiring acidic conditions and high temperatures.

Abstract
Over the next decades, with the growing concern of rising atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) levels, the importance of investigating new approaches for its reduction becomes crucial. Reclamation of CO2 for conversion into biofuels represents an alternative and attractive production method that has been studied in recent years, now with enzymatic methods gaining more attention. Formate dehydrogenases (FDHs) are NAD(P)H-dependent oxidoreductases that catalyze the conversion of formate into CO2 and have been extensively used for cofactor recycling in chemoenzymatic processes. A new FDH from Clostridium ljungdahlii (ClFDH) has been recently shown to possess activity in the reverse reaction: the mineralization of CO2 into formate. In this study, we show the successful homologous expression of ClFDH in Escherichia coli. Biochemical and kinetic characterization of the enzyme revealed that this homologue also demonstrates activity toward CO2 reduction. Structural analysis of the enzyme through homology modeling is also presented.

Chaetomium thermophilum formate dehydrogenase has high activity in the reduction of hydrogen carbonate (HCO3 -) to formate. Protein Eng Des Sel 2016; 30:47-55. [PMID: 27887026 DOI: 10.1093/protein/gzw062] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/02/2016] [Revised: 10/21/2016] [Accepted: 11/07/2016] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
While formate dehydrogenases (FDHs) have been used for cofactor recycling in chemoenzymatic synthesis, the ability of FDH to reduce CO2 could also be utilized in the conversion of CO2 to useful products via formate (HCOO-). In this study, we investigated the reduction of CO2 in the form of hydrogen carbonate (HCO3-) to formate by FDHs from Candida methylica (CmFDH) and Chaetomium thermophilum (CtFDH) in a NADH-dependent reaction. The catalytic performance with HCO3- as a substrate was evaluated by measuring the kinetic rates and conducting productivity assays. CtFDH showed a higher efficiency in converting HCO3- to formate than CmFDH, whereas CmFDH was better in the oxidation of formate. The pH optimum of the reduction was at pH 7-8. However, the high concentrations of HCO3- reduced the reaction rate. CtFDH was modeled in the presence of HCO3- showing that it fits to the active site. The active site setting for hydride transfer in CO2 reduction was modeled. The hydride donated by NADH would form a favorable contact to the carbon atom of HCO3-, resulting in a surplus of electrons within the molecule. This would cause the complex formed by hydrogen carbonate and the hydride to break into formate and hydroxide ions.

Highly stable and reusable immobilized formate dehydrogenases: Promising biocatalysts for in situ regeneration of NADH. Beilstein J Org Chem 2016; 12:271-7. [PMID: 26977186 PMCID: PMC4778513 DOI: 10.3762/bjoc.12.29] [Citation(s) in RCA: 19] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/22/2015] [Accepted: 02/05/2016] [Indexed: 11/23/2022] Open
Abstract
This study aimed to prepare robust immobilized formate dehydrogenase (FDH) preparations which can be used as effective biocatalysts along with functional oxidoreductases, in which in situ regeneration of NADH is required. For this purpose, Candida methylica FDH was covalently immobilized onto Immobead 150 support (FDHI150), Immobead 150 support modified with ethylenediamine and then activated with glutaraldehyde (FDHIGLU), and Immobead 150 support functionalized with aldehyde groups (FDHIALD). The highest immobilization yield and activity yield were obtained as 90% and 132%, respectively when Immobead 150 functionalized with aldehyde groups was used as support. The half-life times (t1/2) of free FDH, FDHI150, FDHIGLU and FDHIALD were calculated as 10.6, 28.9, 22.4 and 38.5 h, respectively at 35 °C. FDHI150, FDHIGLU and FDHIALD retained 69, 38 and 51% of their initial activities, respectively after 10 reuses. The results show that the FDHI150, FDHIGLU and FDHIALD offer feasible potentials for in situ regeneration of NADH.
