ABSTRACTIn this study, we characterized Gly5M, originating from a marine bacterium, as a novel β-1,3-1,6-endoglucanase in glycoside hydrolase family 5 (GH5) in the Carbohydrate-Active enZyme database. Thegly5Mgene encodes Gly5M, a newly characterized enzyme from GH5 subfamily 47 (GH5_47) inSaccharophagus degradans2-40T. Thegly5Mgene was cloned and overexpressed inEscherichia coli. Through analysis of the enzymatic reaction products by thin-layer chromatography, high-performance liquid chromatography, and matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization–tandem time of flight mass spectrometry, Gly5M was identified as a novel β-1,3-endoglucanase (EC 3.2.1.39) and bacterial β-1,6-glucanase (EC 3.2.1.75) in GH5. The β-1,3-endoglucanase and β-1,6-endoglucanase activities were detected by using laminarin (a β-1,3-glucan with β-1,6-glycosidic linkages derived from brown macroalgae) and pustulan (a β-1,6-glucan derived from fungal cell walls) as the substrates, respectively. This enzyme also showed transglycosylase activity toward β-1,3-oligosaccharides when laminarioligosaccharides were used as the substrates. Since laminarin is the major form of glucan storage in brown macroalgae, Gly5M could be used to produce glucose and laminarioligosaccharides, using brown macroalgae, for industrial purposes.IMPORTANCEIn this study, we have discovered a novel β-1,3-1,6-endoglucanase with a unique transglycosylase activity, namely, Gly5M, from a marine bacterium,Saccharophagus degradans2-40T. Gly5M was identified as the newly found β-1,3-endoglucanase and bacterial β-1,6-glucanase in GH5. Gly5M is capable of cleaving glycosidic linkages of both β-1,3-glucans and β-1,6-glucans. Gly5M also possesses a transglycosylase activity toward β-1,3-oligosacchrides. Due to the broad specificity of Gly5M, this enzyme can be used to produce glucose or high-value β-1,3- and/or β-1,6-oligosaccharides.

ABSTRACT For the enzymatic production of chitosan oligosaccharides from chitosan, a chitosanase-producing bacterium, Bacillus sp. strain KCTC 0377BP, was isolated from soil. The bacterium constitutively produced chitosanase in a culture medium without chitosan as an inducer. The production of chitosanase was increased from 1.2 U/ml in a minimal chitosan medium to 100 U/ml by optimizing the culture conditions. The chitosanase was purified from a culture supernatant by using CM-Toyopearl column chromatography and a Superose 12HR column for fast-performance liquid chromatography and was characterized according to its enzyme properties. The molecular mass of the enzyme was estimated to be 45 kDa by means of sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The enzyme demonstrated bifunctional chitosanase-glucanase activities, although it showed very low glucanase activity, with less than 3% of the chitosanase activity. Activity of the enzyme increased with an increase of the degrees of deacetylation (DDA) of the chitosan substrate. However, the enzyme still retained 72% of its relative activity toward the 39% DDA of chitosan, compared with the activity of the 94% DDA of chitosan. The enzyme produced chitosan oligosaccharides from chitosan, ranging mainly from chitotriose to chitooctaose. By controlling the reaction time and by monitoring the reaction products with gel filtration high-performance liquid chromatography, chitosan oligosaccharides with a desired oligosaccharide content and composition were obtained. In addition, the enzyme was efficiently used for the production of low-molecular-weight chitosan and highly acetylated chitosan oligosaccharides. A gene (csn45) encoding chitosanase was cloned, sequenced, and compared with other functionally related genes. The deduced amino acid sequence of csn45 was dissimilar to those of the classical chitosanase belonging to glycoside hydrolase family 46 but was similar to glucanases classified with glycoside hydrolase family 8.

Mannoside phosphorylases are involved in the intracellular metabolization of mannooligosaccharides, and are also useful enzymes for the in vitro synthesis of oligosaccharides. They are found in glycoside hydrolase family GH130. Here we report on an analysis of 6308 GH130 sequences, including 4714 from the human, bovine, porcine and murine microbiomes. Using sequence similarity networks, we divided the diversity of sequences into 15 mostly isofunctional meta-nodes; of these, 9 contained no experimentally characterized member. By examining the multiple sequence alignments in each meta-node, we predicted the determinants of the phosphorolytic mechanism and linkage specificity. We thus hypothesized that eight uncharacterized meta-nodes would be phosphorylases. These sequences are characterized by the absence of signal peptides and of the catalytic base. Those sequences with the conserved E/K, E/R and Y/R pairs of residues involved in substrate binding would target β-1,2-, β-1,3- and β-1,4-linked mannosyl residues, respectively. These predictions were tested by characterizing members of three of the uncharacterized meta-nodes from gut bacteria. We discovered the first known β-1,4-mannosyl-glucuronic acid phosphorylase, which targets a motif of the Shigella lipopolysaccharide O-antigen. This work uncovers a reliable strategy for the discovery of novel mannoside-phosphorylases, reveals possible interactions between gut bacteria, and identifies a biotechnological tool for the synthesis of antigenic oligosaccharides.

The recently identified marine bacterium Pseudoalteromonas fuliginea sp. PS47 possesses a polysaccharide-utilization locus dedicated to agarose degradation. In particular, it contains a gene (locus tag EU509_06755) encoding a β-agarase that belongs to glycoside hydrolase family 50 (GH50), PfGH50B. The 2.0 Å resolution X-ray crystal structure of PfGH50B reveals a rare complex multidomain fold that was found in two of the three previously determined GH50 structures. The structure comprises an N-terminal domain with a carbohydrate-binding module (CBM)-like fold fused to a C-terminal domain by a rigid linker. The CBM-like domain appears to function by extending the catalytic groove of the enzyme. Furthermore, the PfGH50B structure highlights key structural features in the mobile loops that may function to restrict the degree of polymerization of the neoagaro-oligosaccharide products and the enzyme processivity.

ABSTRACTAs classified by the Carbohydrate-Active Enzymes (CAZy) database, enzymes in glycoside hydrolase (GH) family 10 (GH10) are all monospecific or bifunctional xylanases (except a tomatinase), and no endo-β-1,4-glucanase has been reported in the family. Here, we identifiedArcticibacterium luteifluviistationiscarboxymethyl cellulase (AlCMCase) as a GH10 endo-β-1,4-glucanase.AlCMCase originated from an Arctic marine bacterium,Arcticibacterium luteifluviistationisSM1504T. It shows low identity (<35%) with other GH10 xylanases. The gene encodingAlCMCase was overexpressed inEscherichia coli. Biochemical characterization showed that recombinantAlCMCase is a cold-adapted and salt-tolerant enzyme.AlCMCase hydrolyzes cello- and xylo-configured substrates via an endoaction mode. However, in comparison to its significant cellulase activity, the xylanase activity ofAlCMCase is negligible. Correspondingly,AlCMCase has remarkable binding capacity for cello-oligosaccharides but no obvious binding capacity for xylo-oligosaccharides.AlCMCase and its homologs are grouped into a branch separate from other GH10 xylanases in a phylogenetic tree, and two homologs also displayed the same substrate specificity asAlCMCase. These results suggest thatAlCMCase and its homologs form a novel subfamily of GH10 enzymes that have robust endo-β-1,4-glucanase activity. In addition, given the cold-adapted and salt-tolerant characters ofAlCMCase, it may be a candidate biocatalyst under certain industrial conditions, such as low temperature or high salinity.IMPORTANCECellulase and xylanase have been widely used in the textile, pulp and paper, animal feed, and food-processing industries. Exploring novel cellulases and xylanases for biocatalysts continues to be a hot issue. Enzymes derived from the polar seas might have novel hydrolysis patterns, substrate specificities, or extremophilic properties that have great potential for both fundamental research and industrial applications. Here, we identified a novel cold-adapted and salt-tolerant endo-β-1,4-glucanase,AlCMCase, from an Arctic marine bacterium. It may be useful in certain industrial processes, such as under low temperature or high salinity. Moreover,AlCMCase is a bifunctional representative of glycoside hydrolase (GH) family 10 that preferentially hydrolyzes β-1,4-glucans. With its homologs, it represents a new subfamily in this family. Thus, this study sheds new light on the substrate specificity of GH10.

ABSTRACTXylans are the predominant polysaccharides in hemicelluloses and an important potential source of biofuels and chemicals. The ability ofBacillus subtilissubsp.subtilisstrain 168 to utilize xylans has been ascribed to secreted glycoside hydrolase family 11 (GH11) and GH30 endoxylanases, encoded by thexynAandxynCgenes, respectively. Both of these enzymes have been defined with respect to structure and function. In this study, the effects of deletion of thexynAandxynCgenes, individually and in combination, were evaluated for xylan utilization and formation of acidic xylooligosaccharides. Parent strain 168 depolymerizes methylglucuronoxylans (MeGXn), releasing the xylobiose and xylotriose utilized for growth and accumulating the aldouronate methylglucuronoxylotriose (MeGX3) with some methylglucuronoxylotetraose (MeGX4). The combined GH11 and GH30 activities process the products generated by their respective actions on MeGXnto release a maximal amount of neutral xylooligosaccharides for assimilation and growth, at the same time forming MeGX3in which the internal xylose is substituted with methylglucuronate (MeG). Deletion ofxynAresults in the accumulation of β-1,4-xylooligosaccharides with degrees of polymerization ranging from 4 to 18 and an average degree of substitution of 1 in 7.2, each with a single MeG linked α-1,2 to the xylose penultimate to the xylose at the reducing terminus. Deletion of thexynCgene results in the accumulation of aldouronates comprised of 4 or more xylose residues in which the MeG may be linked α-1,2 to the xylose penultimate to the nonreducing xylose. TheseB. subtilislines may be used for the production of acidic xylooligosaccharides with applications in human and veterinary medicine.

ABSTRACTHere, we isolated and characterized a new ginsenoside-transforming β-glucosidase (BglQM) fromMucilaginibactersp. strain QM49 that shows biotransformation activity for various major ginsenosides. The gene responsible for this activity,bglQM, consists of 2,346 bp and is predicted to encode 781 amino acid residues. This enzyme has a molecular mass of 85.6 kDa. Sequence analysis of BglQM revealed that it could be classified into glycoside hydrolase family 3. The enzyme was overexpressed inEscherichia coliBL21(DE3) using a maltose binding protein (MBP)-fused pMAL-c2x vector system containing the tobacco etch virus (TEV) proteolytic cleavage site. Overexpressed recombinant BglQM could efficiently transform the protopanaxatriol-type ginsenosides Re and Rg1into (S)-Rg2and (S)-Rh1, respectively, by hydrolyzing one glucose moiety attached to the C-20 position at pH 8.0 and 30°C. TheKmvalues forp-nitrophenyl-β-d-glucopyranoside, Re, and Rg1were 37.0 ± 0.4 μM and 3.22 ± 0.15 and 1.48 ± 0.09 mM, respectively, and theVmaxvalues were 33.4 ± 0.6 μmol min−1mg−1of protein and 19.2 ± 0.2 and 28.8 ± 0.27 nmol min−1mg−1of protein, respectively. A crude protopanaxatriol-type ginsenoside mixture (PPTGM) was treated with BglQM, followed by silica column purification, to produce (S)-Rh1and (S)-Rg2at chromatographic purities of 98% ± 0.5% and 97% ± 1.2%, respectively. This is the first report of gram-scale production of (S)-Rh1and (S)-Rg2from PPTGM using a novel ginsenoside-transforming β-glucosidase of glycoside hydrolase family 3.

ABSTRACT4,6-α-Glucanotransferase (4,6-α-GTase) enzymes, such as GTFB and GTFW ofLactobacillus reuteristrains, constitute a new reaction specificity in glycoside hydrolase family 70 (GH70) and are novel enzymes that convert starch or starch hydrolysates into isomalto/maltopolysaccharides (IMMPs). These IMMPs still have linear chains with some α1→4 linkages but mostly (relatively long) linear chains with α1→6 linkages and are soluble dietary starch fibers. 4,6-α-GTase enzymes and their products have significant potential for industrial applications. Here we report that an N-terminal truncation (amino acids 1 to 733) strongly enhances the soluble expression level of fully active GTFB-ΔN (approximately 75-fold compared to full-length wild type GTFB) inEscherichia coli. In addition, quantitative assays based on amylose V as the substrate are described; these assays allow accurate determination of both hydrolysis (minor) activity (glucose release, reducing power) and total activity (iodine staining) and calculation of the transferase (major) activity of these 4,6-α-GTase enzymes. The data show that GTFB-ΔN is clearly less hydrolytic than GTFW, which is also supported by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) analysis of their final products. From these assays, the biochemical properties of GTFB-ΔN were characterized in detail, including determination of kinetic parameters and acceptor substrate specificity. The GTFB enzyme displayed high conversion yields at relatively high substrate concentrations, a promising feature for industrial application.

ABSTRACT Arabinose-containing poly- or oligosaccharides are suitable carbohydrate sources for Bifidobacterium longum subsp. longum. However, their degradation pathways are poorly understood. In this study, we cloned and characterized the previously uncharacterized glycoside hydrolase family 43 (GH43) enzymes B. longum subsp. longum ArafC (BlArafC; encoded by BLLJ_1852) and B. longum subsp. longum ArafB (BlArafB; encoded by BLLJ_1853) from B. longum subsp. longum JCM 1217. Both enzymes exhibited α-l-arabinofuranosidase activity toward p-nitrophenyl-α-l-arabinofuranoside but no activity toward p-nitrophenyl-β-d-xylopyranoside. The specificities of the two enzymes for l-arabinofuranosyl linkages were different. BlArafC catalyzed the hydrolysis of α1,2- and α1,3-l-arabinofuranosyl linkages found on the side chains of both arabinan and arabinoxylan. It released l-arabinose 100 times faster from arabinan than from arabinoxylan but did not act on arabinogalactan. On the other hand, BlArafB catalyzed the hydrolysis of the α1,5-l-arabinofuranosyl linkage found on the arabinan backbone. It released l-arabinose from arabinan but not from arabinoxylan or arabinogalactan. Coincubation of BlArafC and BlArafB revealed that these two enzymes are able to degrade arabinan in a synergistic manner. Both enzyme activities were suppressed with EDTA treatment, suggesting that they require divalent metal ions. The GH43 domains of BlArafC and BlArafB are classified into GH43 subfamilies 27 and 22, respectively, but show very low similarity (less than 15% identity) with other biochemically characterized members in the corresponding subfamilies. The B. longum subsp. longum strain lacking the GH43 gene cluster that includes BLLJ_1850 to BLLJ_1853 did not grow in arabinan medium, suggesting that BlArafC and BlArafB are important for assimilation of arabinan. IMPORTANCE We identified two novel α-l-arabinofuranosidases, BlArafC and BlArafB, from B. longum subsp. longum JCM 1217, both of which are predicted to be extracellular membrane-bound enzymes. The former specifically acts on α1,2/3-l-arabinofuranosyl linkages, while the latter acts on the α1,5-l-arabinofuranosyl linkage. These enzymes cooperatively degrade arabinan and are required for the efficient growth of bifidobacteria in arabinan-containing medium. The genes encoding these enzymes are located side by side in a gene cluster involved in metabolic pathways for plant-derived polysaccharides, which may confer adaptability in adult intestines.
