Abstract XynR is a thermophilic and alkaline GH10 xylanase, identified in the culture broth of alkaliphilic and thermophilic Bacillus sp. strain TAR-1. We previously selected S92E as a thermostable variant from a site saturation mutagenesis library. Here, we attempted to select the alkaliphilic XynR variant from the library and isolated T315N. In the hydrolysis of beechwood xylan, T315N and S92E/T315N exhibited a broader bell-shaped pH-dependent activity than the wild-type XynR (WT) and S92E. The optimal pH values of T315N and S92E/T315N were 6.5–9.5 while those of WT and S92E were 6.5–8.5. On the other hand, T315N and S92E/T315N exhibited a narrower bell-shaped pH-dependence of stability: the pHs at which the activity was stable after the incubation at 37 °C for 24 h were 6.0–8.5 for T315N and S92E/T315N, but 6.0–10.0 for WT and S92E. These results indicated that the mutation of Thr315 to Asn increased the alkaliphily but decreased the alkaline resistance.

A kinetic study has been made of the trypsin-catalyzed hydrolysis of N-benzoyl-L-alanine methyl ester, at pH values ranging from 6 to 10. The substrate concentrations varied from 1.7 × 10−3 to 4.3 × 10−2 M. From the rates were calculated, at each pH, values of [Formula: see text] (corresponding to [Formula: see text]), [Formula: see text] (corresponding to [Formula: see text]) and [Formula: see text] The specific levorotation of trypsin was measured and found to vary with pH in the pH region 5–11, the change in specific rotation following the ionization of a single group with pK(app) of 9.4. At pH 11 the specific rotation of trypsin, its zymogen, and its phosphorylated derivative were approximately the same, suggesting similar conformations for all three forms of the protein.The kinetic results on the acid side were very similar to those obtained by other investigators for chymotrypsin; they imply that there is a group of [Formula: see text] in the free enzyme, presumably the imidazole function of a histidine residue, and that this group is involved in acylation and deacylation, which can only occur if it is unprotonated. The behavior on the basic side was found to be different from that with chymotrypsin revealing a decrease in [Formula: see text] at high pH corresponding to a value of [Formula: see text] whereas [Formula: see text] showed sigmoid pH-dependence. An interpretation of these results that is consistent with all available information is that a group of [Formula: see text] (presumably the —NH3+ function of the terminal isoleucine) controls the conformation and thereby the activity of the enzyme at different stages of complex formation. In contrast to chymotrypsin, the pK of this ionizing group appears to be generally lowered by covalent complex formation between trypsin and its substrates.

The chemical synthesis of N-alpha-benzyloxycarbonyl-L-lysine p-nitroanilide (Z-Lys-pNA) is described in detail. The pH-dependence of the catalytic parameters kcat,' Km and kcat./Km for the papain-catalysed hydrolysis of Z-Lys-pNA are determined. kcat. and Km are pH-independent between pH 5 and pH 7.42, but the pH-dependence of kcat./Km is bell-shaped, decreasing at high and low pH values with pKa values of 7.97 and 4.40 respectively. The catalytic parameters and their pH-dependence are shown to be similar to those reported for other anilide substrates and it is concluded that the Km value of 0.01 mM previously reported [Angelides & Fink (1979) Biochemistry 18, 2355-2369] is incorrect. The possibility of accumulating a tetrahedral intermediate during the papain-catalysed hydrolysis of Z-Lys-pNA is discussed.

Abstract The rumen of ruminants contains a variety of fungi capable of producing xylanases to break down plant cell walls. In this study, a new GH10 xylanase gene ArXyn10c20 from anaerobic rumen microorganism Anaeromyces robustus was successfully expressed in Pichia Pastoris GS115, with a protein molecular weight of approximately 42 kDa and showed the similarity by 64.08% with the β-Xylanase form Neocallimastix Californiae. The optimal pH and temperature for ArXyn10c20 was 5.5 at 40℃. ArXyn10c20 was stable in the pH range 5.0 – 9.0 for 1h which the residual enzyme activity was all above 75%. The activity of recombinant xylanase was significantly enhanced by 1 mM Cu 2+ . The products of ArXyn10c20 hydrolysis of beechwood xylan were xylobiose, xylotriose and xylotetraose by TLC analysis. In food applications, ArXyn10c20 can significantly improve the quality of dough and bread. With the addition of 7.5 mg ArXyn10c20, the hardness, gumminess and chewiness of the bread decreased by 42.24%, 45.33% and 55.36% respectively and the reducing sugar increased by 18.67%. The new discovered xylanase ArXyn10c20 has great potential in food industry.

Lactiplantibacillus plantarum strain UNQLp 11 is a lactic acid bacterium with the potential to carry out malolactic fermentation (MLF) in red wines. Recently, the complete genome of UNQLp 11 was sequenced and this strain possesses four loci of the enzyme β-glucosidase. In order to demonstrate that these glucosidase enzymes could be functional under harsh wine conditions, we evaluated the hydrolysis of p-nitrophenyl-β-D-glucopyranoside (p-NPG) in synthetic wine with different ethanol contents (0%, 12%, and 14% v/v) and at different pH values (3.2, 3.5, and 3.8). Then, the hydrolysis of precursor n-octyl β-D-glucopyranoside was analyzed in sterile Pinot Noir wine (containing 14.5% v/v of ethanol, at different pH values) by headspace sorptive extraction gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (HSSE-GC/MS). The hydrolysis of p-NPG showed that β-glucosidase activity is very susceptible to low pH but induced in the presence of high ethanol content. Furthermore, UNQLp 11 was able to release the glycosilated precursor n-octyl, during MLF to a greater extent than a commercial enzyme. In conclusion, UNQLp 11 could improve the aromatic profile of the wine by the release of volatile precursors during MLF.

Hydrolysis of the methyl ester (±)-threo-methyl phenidate afforded the free acid in 40% yield,viz.(±)-threo-ritalinic acid, C13H17NO2. Hydrolysis and subsequent crystallization were accomplished at pH values between 5 and 7 to yield colourless prisms which were analysed by X-ray crystallography. Crystals of (±)-threo-ritalinic acid belong to theP21/nspace group and form intermolecular hydrogen bonds. An antiperiplanar disposition of the H atoms of the (HOOC—)CH—CHpygroup (py is pyridine) was found in both the solid (diffraction analysis) and solution state (NMR analysis). It was also determined that (±)-threo-ritalinic acid conforms to the minimization of negativegauche+–gauche−interactions.

The pH-dependence of the degree of hydrogen-bonding between a base and its conjugate acid is considered. When only a small proportion of the total base is complexed, the amount complexed is proportional to (1+coshp)−1 where p=2.303 (pKa–pH), pKa being the dissociation constant of the conjugate acid. This represents sharp pH-dependence. As the proportion complexed increases, the curve broadens, eventually becoming flat-topped, with more than half the base complexed over the range of pH values pKa±logKC, approximately. (K is the complex association constant and C is the formal base concentration, including all forms.) There are similarities to the extent of mono-protonation of a dibasic acid.

1. Phosphatase synthesis was studied in Klebsiella aerogenes grown in a wide range of continuous-culture systems. 2. Maximum acid phosphatase synthesis was associated with nutrient-limited, particularly carbohydrate-limited, growth at a relatively low rate, glucose-limited cells exhibiting the highest activity. Compared with glucose as the carbon-limiting growth material, other sugars not only altered the activity but also changed the pH–activity profile of the enzyme(s). 3. The affinity of the acid phosphatase in glucose-limited cells towards p-nitrophenyl phosphate (Km 0.25–0.43mm) was similar to that of staphylococcal acid phosphatase but was ten times greater than that of the Escherichia coli enzyme. 4. PO43−-limitation derepressed alkaline phosphatase synthesis but the amounts of activity were largely independent of the carbon source used for growth. 5. The enzymes were further differentiated by the effect of adding inhibitors (F−, PO43−) and sugars to the reaction mixture during the assays. In particular, it was shown that adding glucose, but not other sugars, stimulated the rate of hydrolysis of p-nitrophenyl phosphate by the acid phosphatase in carbohydrate-limited cells at low pH values (<4.6) but inhibited it at high pH values (>4.6). Alkaline phosphatase activity was unaffected. 6. The function of phosphatases in general is discussed and possible mechanisms for the glucose effect are outlined.

ABSTRACT MSMEG_0220 from Mycobacterium smegmatis, the ortholog of the Rv0183 gene from M. tuberculosis, recently identified and characterized as encoding a monoacylglycerol lipase, was cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli. The recombinant protein (rMSMEG_0220), which exhibits 68% amino acid sequence identity with Rv0183, showed the same substrate specificity and similar patterns of pH-dependent activity and stability as the M. tuberculosis enzyme. rMSMEG_0220 was found to hydrolyze long-chain monoacylglycerol with a specific activity of 143 ± 6 U mg−1. Like Rv0183 in M. tuberculosis, MSMEG_0220 was found to be located in the cell wall. To assess the in vivo role of the homologous proteins, an MSMEG_0220 disrupted mutant of M. smegmatis (MsΔ0220) was produced. An intriguing change in the colony morphology and in the cell interaction, which were partly restored in the complemented mutant containing either an active (ComMsΔ0220) or an inactive (ComMsΔ0220S111A) enzyme, was observed. Growth studies performed in media supplemented with monoolein showed that the ability of both MsΔ0220 and ComMsΔ0220S111A to grow in the presence of this lipid was impaired. Moreover, studies of the antimicrobial susceptibility of the MsΔ0220 strain showed that this mutant is more sensitive to rifampin and more resistant to isoniazid than the wild-type strain, pointing to a critical structural role of this enzyme in mycobacterial physiology, in addition to its function in the hydrolysis of exogenous lipids.
