We cloned a novel β-1,3-xylanase gene, consisting of a 1728-bp open reading frame encoding 576 amino acid residues, from a marine bacterium, Vibrio sp. strain AX-4. Sequence analysis revealed that the β-1,3-xylanase is a modular enzyme composed of a putative catalytic module belonging to glycoside hydrolase family 26 and two putative carbohydrate-binding modules belonging to family 31. The recombinant enzyme hydrolysed β-1,3-xylan to yield xylo-oligosaccharides with different numbers of xylose units, mainly xylobiose, xylotriose and xylotetraose. However, the enzyme did not hydrolyse β-1,4-xylan, β-1,4-mannan, β-1,4-glucan, β-1,3-xylobiose or p-nitrophenyl-β-xyloside. When β-1,3-xylo-oligosaccharides were used as the substrate, the kcat value of the enzyme for xylopentaose was found to be 40 times higher than that for xylotetraose, and xylotriose was extremely resistant to hydrolysis by the enzyme. A PSI-BLAST search revealed two possible catalytic Glu residues (Glu-138 as an acid/base catalyst and Glu-234 as a nucleophile), both of which are generally conserved in glycoside hydrolase superfamily A. Replacement of these two conserved Glu residues with Asp and Gln resulted in a significant decrease and complete loss of enzyme activity respectively, without a change in their CD spectra, suggesting that these Glu residues are the catalytic residues of β-1,3-xylanase. The present study also clearly shows that the non-catalytic putative carbohydrate-binding modules play an important role in the hydrolysis of insoluble β-1,3-xylan, but not that of soluble glycol-β-1,3-xylan. Furthermore, repeating a putative carbohydrate-binding module strongly enhanced the hydrolysis of the insoluble substrate.

Glycoside hydrolase family 9 (GH9) endoglucanases are important enzymes for cellulose degradation. However, their activity on cellulose is diverse. Here, we cloned and expressed one GH9 enzyme (CalkGH9T) from Clostridium alkalicellulosi in Escherichia coli. CalkGH9T has a modular structure, containing one GH9 catalytic module, two family 3 carbohydrate binding modules, and one type I dockerin domain. CalkGH9T exhibited maximal activity at pH 7.0–8.0 and 55 °C and was resistant to urea and NaCl. It efficiently hydrolyzed carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) but poorly degraded regenerated amorphous cellulose (RAC). Despite strongly binding to Avicel, CalkGH9T lacked the ability to hydrolyze this substrate. The hydrolysis of CMC by CalkGH9T produced a series of cello-oligomers, with cellotetraose being preferentially released. Similar proportions of soluble and insoluble reducing ends generated by hydrolysis of RAC indicated non-processive activity. Our study extends our knowledge of the molecular mechanism of cellulose hydrolysis by GH9 family endoglucanases with industrial relevance.

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.

As prebiotics, galacto-oligosaccharides (GOSs) can improve the intestinal flora and have important applications in medicine. β-galactosidases could promote the synthesis of GOSs in lactose and catalyze the hydrolysis of lactose. In this study, a new β-galactosidase gene (gal2A), which belongs to the glycoside hydrolase family 2, was cloned from marine bacterium Alteromonas sp. QD01 and expressed in Escherichia coli. The molecular weight of Gal2A was 117.07 kDa. The optimal pH and temperature of Gal2A were 8.0 and 40 °C, respectively. At the same time, Gal2A showed wide pH stability in the pH range of 6.0–9.5, which is suitable for lactose hydrolysis in milk. Most metal ions promoted the activity of Gal2A, especially Mn2+ and Mg2+. Importantly, Gal2A exhibited high transglycosylation activity, which can catalyze the formation of GOS from milk and lactose. These characteristics indicated that Gal2A may be ideal for producing GOSs and lactose-reducing dairy products.

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.

GH 11 (glycoside hydrolase family 11) xylanases are predominant enzymes in the hydrolysis of heteroxylan, an abundant structural polysaccharide in the plant cell wall. To gain more insight into the protein–ligand interactions of the glycone as well as the aglycone subsites of these enzymes, catalytically incompetent mutants of the Bacillus subtilis and Aspergillus niger xylanases were crystallized, soaked with xylo-oligosaccharides and subjected to X-ray analysis. For both xylanases, there was clear density for xylose residues in the −1 and −2 subsites. In addition, for the B. subtilis xylanase, there was also density for xylose residues in the −3 and +1 subsite showing the spanning of the −1/+1 subsites. These results, together with the observation that some residues in the aglycone subsites clearly adopt a different conformation upon substrate binding, allowed us to identify the residues important for substrate binding in the aglycone subsites. In addition to substrate binding in the active site of the enzymes, the existence of an unproductive second ligand-binding site located on the surface of both the B. subtilis and A. niger xylanases was observed. This extra binding site may have a function similar to the separate carbohydrate-binding modules of other glycoside hydrolase families.

The bacterium Alteromonas sp. ML52, isolated from deep-sea water, was found to synthesize an intracellular cold-adapted β-galactosidase. A novel β-galactosidase gene from strain ML52, encoding 1058 amino acids residues, was cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli. The enzyme belongs to glycoside hydrolase family 2 and is active as a homotetrameric protein. The recombinant enzyme had maximum activity at 35 °C and pH 8 with a low thermal stability over 30 °C. The enzyme also exhibited a Km of 0.14 mM, a Vmax of 464.7 U/mg and a kcat of 3688.1 S−1 at 35 °C with 2-nitrophenyl-β-d-galactopyranoside as a substrate. Hydrolysis of lactose assay, performed using milk, indicated that over 90% lactose in milk was hydrolyzed after incubation for 5 h at 25 °C or 24 h at 4 °C and 10 °C, respectively. These properties suggest that recombinant Alteromonas sp. ML52 β-galactosidase is a potential biocatalyst for the lactose-reduced dairy industry.
