Oyster mushroom (Pleurotus florida 14 MICC) is one of the most widely cultivated edible fungi in the world. Milk clotting enzyme (MCE) derived from the mold was developed as a calf rennet alternative; thus, it was purified and characterized, and its effect on different milk species was investigated. The highest MCE activity (75.49 SU/ml) was observed in mushroom fruit bodies dissolved in 0.2 M sodium acetate pH 5.0; as well as the highest total MCE activity (367.85 SU) was recorded at 20% of ammonium sulfate with a specific activity of 343.79 SU mg-1 protein while size exclusion column chromatography on Sephadex G-100 purified MCE 3.46-fold with 17.96% yield. Also, it could be capable of coagulating different milk species. Mushroom MCE exhibited their optimal activity at pH 5.0 for crude extract (CE) while at pH 6.0 for partial purified (PP) and purified (P) MCE fractions; as well as at 55 °C for CE and PP MCE fractions while 50 °C for P MCE. CaCl2 concentration (0.01%) recorded the maximal activity for CE while (0.04%) and (0.02%) for PP and P fractions, respectively. It could be concluded that MCE from Oyster mushroom may be a good candidate as a calf rennet substitute in cheese production.

A high molecular weight serine protease has been purified to electrophoretic homogeneity from the seeds of Caesalpinia bonducella Flem. (Caesalpiniaceae) by the combination of size exclusion and ion exchange chromatography. About 524 fold purification was achieved with an overall recovery of 6.8%. The specific activity was found to be 86 U/mg/min at pH 8.0. The calculated Km and Vmax were 1.66 mg/mL and 496.68 units/min per mg of protein, respectively. The molecular mass was estimated to be about 63 kDa by sodium dodecyl sulfate PAGE. The enzyme showed optimum activity at pH 8.0 and exhibited its highest activity at 40°C. The enzyme was strongly inhibited by 2mM phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride (PMSF), suggesting the presence of a serine residue at the active site. PMSF showed a pure competitive type of inhibition with the serine protease enzyme. It was observed that enzyme activity was enhanced in the presence of dications and was active against a variety of modified substrates and natural proteins.

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.

The lipoxygenase LOXPsa1 of Pleurotus sapidus, originally investigated because of its ability to oxidize (+)-valencene to the valuable grapefruit aroma (+)-nootkatone, was isolated from the peptidase-rich lyophilisate using a three-step purification scheme including preparative isoelectric focusing and chromatographic techniques. Nano-liquid chromatography electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry (nLC-ESI-MS=MS) of the purified enzyme and peptide mass fingerprint analysis gave 38 peptides of the lipoxygenase from P. sapidus. Nearly 50% of the 643 amino acids long sequence encoded by the cDNA was covered. Both terminal peptides of the native LOXPsa1 were identified by de novo sequencing, and the postulated molecular mass of 72:5 kDa was confirmed. With linoleic acid as the substrate, the LOXPsa1 showed a specific activity of 113 U mg-1 and maximal activity at pH 7.0 and 30 °C, respectively.
