The heterologous expression and characteristics of a new xylanase from Pyromyces finnis have been described. The endo-l,4-β-xylanase XylP (EC 3.2.1.8) consists of 223 amino acids and 19 residues of a putative signal peptide in the N-terminal region. The amino acid sequence of the mature protein has the greatest homology with the sequence of the native catalytic N-terminal domain of Neocallimastix patriciarum endo-l,4-β-xylanase (84%). A synthetic nucleotide sequence encoding a mature XylP protein was expressed in Pichia pastoris. The purified recombinant enzyme showed activity with birch xylan and arabinoxylan. When using birch xylan as a substrate, the optimum pH for the enzyme was 5.0, and the optimum temperature was 50 °C. The specific activity of the xylanase was 4700 U/mg protein, and Km and Vmax were equal to 0.51 mg/mL and 7395.3 umol/(min∙mg), respectively. The recombinant XylP protein showed moderate thermal stability and high pH stability, resistance to digestive enzymes and protein inhibitors of grain xylanases. It was also shown that the Mg2+, Co2+ and Li+ ions have a positive effect on the enzyme activity. xylanase, xylan, feed enzyme, Pichia pastoris, Pyromyces finnis The work was performed with the financial support of the Ministry of Education and Science of Russia (Unique Project Identifier RFMEFI60717X0180) using the Unique Scientific Installation -National Bioresource Center «All-Russian Collection of Industrial Microorganisms», NRC «Kurchatov Institute» - GOSNIIGENETIKA

The isolation, heterologous expression and characterization of a new thermostable β-glucanase from Paenibacillus jamilae is described. The bgl26 gene from the P. jamilae Bg1 VKPM B-13093 strain consisting of 714 nucleotides encodes endo-1,3-1,4-β-glucanase (EC 3.2.1.73) containing 213 amino acids and 24 residues of the putative signal peptide in N-end area. The nucleotide sequence of the bgl26 gene and the amino acid sequence of the mature Bgl26 protein have the greatest homology with the sequence of the Paenibacillus macerans endo-l,3-l,4-β-glucanase (82 and 88%, respectively). A fragment of the gene encoding the mature protein was expressed in Pichia pastoris. Purified recombinant enzyme Bgl26 was active towards barley β-glucan. The optimal pH for the enzyme to work was 7,0, and the optimum temperature range was 40-45 °C. The specific activity of β-glucanase was at the level of 6650 U/mg of protein, Km and Vmax were equal to 6.4 ± 0.3 mg/mL and 9450.1 ± 471.2 umol/(min-mg), respectively. The recombinant protein Bgl26 was characterized by high pH and thermal stability, as well as resistance to digestive enzymes. It is also shown that Co2+ ions have a positive effect on the activity of the enzyme. β-glucanase, β-glucan, Paenibacillus jamilae, Pichia pastoris The work was financially supported by the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation (Unique Project Identifier RFMEFI60717X0179) and was carried out using the Multipurpose Scientific Installation of National Bio-Resource Center «All-Russian Collection of Industrial Microorganisms», NRC «Kurchatov Institute» - GOSNIIGENETIKA.

Trichoderma reesei is known to be one of the organisms capable for producing various types of cellulase in high concentrations. Among these cellulases, the highest catalytic efficiency of endoglucanases II (EGII, EC 3.2.1.4) are considered important for industrial application. The characterization of the EGII is necessary since it is widely used in high-temperature reactions in the industries. In this study, the recombinant EGII protein was expressed in Pichia pastoris and it has a molecular mass of approximately 52 kDa. Recombinant EGII was purified using Ni-NTA affinity chromatography and characterized by SDS-PAGE and western blot analyses. The enzyme activity of recombinant EGII was measured using the Nelson Somogyi method to determine its optimum pH and temperature. The result showed that the maximum EGII expression was achieved after 72 h of culture incubation. The crude enzyme has optimum activity at pH 5.0, resulting in 16.3 U/mL and 14.6 U/mL activity at 40 °C and 50 °C, respectively. While the purified enzyme gave the specific activity of 115.7 U/mg under the optimum condition. Finally, our study demonstrated that recombinant EGII could retain the endoglucanase activity for 89% and 80% at 40 °C and 50 °C, respectively.

The ToxB gene was cloned and characterized from a race 5 isolate of Pyrenophora tritici-repentis from North Dakota. ToxB contains a 261-bp open reading frame that encodes a 23 amino acid putative signal peptide and a 64 amino acid host-selective toxin, Ptr ToxB. Analysis of Ptr ToxB from heterologous expression in Pichia pastoris confirms that ToxB encodes a host-selective toxin.

Human erythrocytes contain a phosphatase that is highly specific for phosphoglycollate. It shows optimum pH of 6.7 and has Km 1 mM for phosphoglycollate. The molecular weight appears to be about 72000. The enzyme is a dimeric molecule having subunits of mol. wt. about 35000. It could be purified approx. 4000-fold up to a specific activity of 5.98 units/mg of protein. The activity of the enzyme is Mg2+-dependent. Co2+, and to a smaller extent Mn2+, may substitute for Mg2+. Half-maximum inhibition of the phosphatase by 5,5′-dithiobis-(2-nitrobenzoate), EDTA and NaF is obtained at 0.5 microM, 1 mM and 4 mM respectively. Moreover, it needs a univalent cation for optimum activity. Phosphoglycollate phosphatase is a cytoplasmic enzyme. Approx. 5% of its total activity is membrane-associated. This part of activity can be approx. 70% solubilized by freezing, thawing and treatment with 0.25% Triton X-100.

Abstract: 2-O-α-D-Glucopyranosyl-L-ascorbic acid (AA-2G) is an important industrial derivative of L-ascorbic acid (AA), which has the distinct advantages of non-reducibility, antioxidation, and reproducible decomposition into L-ascorbic acid and glucose. Enzymatic synthesis is a preferred method for AA-2G production over alternative chemical synthesis owing to the regioselective glycosylation reaction. α-Glucosidase, an enzyme classed into O- glycoside hydrolases, may be used in glycosylation reactions to synthesize AA-2G. Here, one α-glucosidase from Oryza sativa (rAGL) was recombinantly produced in Pichia pastoris GS115 and used for biosynthesis of AA-2G with few intermediates and byproducts. The extracellular rAGL reached 9.11 U/mL after fed-batch cultivation for 102 h in a 5-L fermenter. The specific activity of purified rAGL is 49.83 U/mg at 37 °C and pH 4.0. The optimal temperature of rAGL was 65 °C, and it was stable below 55 °C. rAGL was active over the range of pH 3.0–7.0, with the maximal activity at pH 4.0. Under the condition of 37 °C , pH 4.0, equimolar maltose and AA·Na, 8.7±0.4 g/L of AA-2G was synthesized by rAGL. These studies lay the basis for the industrial application of recombinant α-glucosidase.

Two teleosts (Rohu, Labeo rohita and Koi, Anabas testudineus), both with contrasting feeding habits (herbivorous versus carnivorous) were studied for amylase and protease activity concerning different regions of their digestive tracts. Significant differences in enzymatic activity across different regions of the digestive tracts were observed. Rohu, with three equal regions of the stomachless gut, showed the highest amylolytic activity at the posterior digestive tract but the highest proteolytic activity is limited to mid region. Contrary to such observation, Koi with three distinct regions of the digestive tract (stomach, pyloric caeca and intestine), the pyloric caeca exhibited the highest specific activity for both amylase and total protease. The optimum pH and temperature conditions were determined concerning the activity for both amylase and protease.

A DNA sequence from Kosakonia sacchari that according to automated computer analysis is believed to correspond to a gene for histidine acid phytase has been selected from the GenBank database. The sequence was optimized for codon composition, synthesized, cloned and expressed in Pichia pastoris. Main characteristics of the purified recombinant enzyme were determined. It was established that the values of pH=4.5 and temperature of 50 °C are optimal for the phytase functioning. The values of specific activity, Michaelis constant (Km) and maximum reaction rate (Vmax) with phytate as a substrate were 1470 U/mg, 193 uM and 2167 umol/(min ∙ mg), respectively. It was shown that the enzyme was characterized by a wide range of working pH. Therefore, the properties of a new recombinant phytase allow us to consider it as a high-potential enzyme for agrobiotechnology. histidine acid phosphatases, Kosakonia sacchari phytase, Pichia pastoris The work was financially supported by the Ministry of Education and Science of Russian Federation (Unique Project Identifier RFMEFI57917X0145) and was carried out using the Multipurpose Scientific Installation of National Bio-resource Center «All-Russian Collection of Industrial Microorganisms», NRC «Kurchatov Institute» - GOSNIIGENETIKA.

A Pichia pastoris yeast strain producing endo-l,4-β-xylanase from Paenibacillus brasilensis with an activity of 54,400 U/mL after 140 h of fermentation in a laboratory fermenter has been obtained. A number of approaches were used to increase the level of the xylanase production in this strain: optimization of the target gene codon composition, multiple integration of the expression cassette into the recipient strain chromosome using the Cre-lox recombination system, and also improving the heterologous protein folding via the overexpression of the HAC1i gene from Pichia pastoris. xylanase, xylan, Cre-lox system, HAC1p transcriptional activator, multicopy strain, Paenibacillus brasilensis, Pichia pastoris The work was performed with the financial support of the Ministry of Education and Science of Russia (Unique Project Identifier RFMEFI60717X0180) using the Multipurpose Scientific Installation of «All-Russian Collection of Industrial Microorganisms» National Bio-Resource Center, NRC «Kurchatov Institute» - GosNIIgenetika.

The enzyme glucanase from Moniliophthora perniciosa was produced in liquid medium and purified from the culture supernatant. A multivariate statistical approach (Response Surface Methodology - RSM) was employed to evaluate the effect of variables, including inducer (yeast extract) and fermentation time, on secreted glucanase activities M. perniciosa detected in the culture medium. The crude enzyme present in the supernatant was purified in two steps: precipitation with ammonium sulfate (70%) and gel filtration chromatography on Sephacryl S-200. The best inducer and fermentation time for glucanase activities were 5.9 g L-1 and 13 days, respectively. The results revealed three different isoforms (GLUI, GLUII and GLUIII) with purification factors of 4.33, 1.86 and 3.03, respectively. The partially purified enzymatic extract showed an optimum pH of 5.0 and an optimum temperature of 40°C. The enzymatic activity increased in the presence of KCl at all concentrations studied. The glucanase activity was highest in the presence of 0.2 M NaCl. The enzyme showed high thermal stability, losing only 10.20% of its specific activity after 40 minutes of incubation at 90°C. A purified enzyme with relatively good thermostability that is stable at low pH might be used in future industrial applications.
