Cloning and expression of a pectate lyase from the oral spirochete Treponema pectinovorum ATCC 33768

The pelA gene, encoding a pectate lyase, from Treponema pectinovorum ATCC 33768 was isolated by heterologous expression of a cosmid library in Escherichia coli. In vitro transposon mutagenesis identified an open reading frame of 1293 bp capable of encoding a protein of 430 amino acids with a predicted amino-terminal signal sequence of 21 amino acids. Analysis of the amino acid sequence suggested that it is a member of the polysaccharide lyase family 10 of which all characterized members show pectate lyase activity. An amino-terminal His-tagged recombinant form of PelA was expressed and purified from E. coli. The recombinant enzyme has characteristics common to other bacterial pectate lyases such as an alkaline pH optimum, dependence on calcium ions for activity, and inhibition by zinc ions.     

Crystal structure and substrate-binding mode of a novel pectate lyase from alkaliphilic Bacillus sp. N16-5

The pectate lyase (Bsp165PelA) from Bacillus sp. N16-5 has great potential in industrial applications because it shows high specific activity under extremely alkaline conditions. Besides, activity measurement of Bsp165PelA does not require addition of calcium, in a way different from the other pectate lyases. Here we report crystal structures of Bsp165PelA in apo-form and in complex with trigalacturonate. The parallel β-helix, active site residues and substrate binding cleft are similar to those in the other pectate lyases from Polysaccharide Lyase family 1. However, some of the highly conserved Ca(2+) binding residues and secondary structures are altered in Bsp165PelA, making it difficult to coordinate with Ca(2+) as in the other pectate lyases. We found Bsp165PelA forms some direct enzyme-substrate interactions instead of using Ca(2+) ions bridging in the extremely alkaline environment.     

Comparative analysis of the five major Erwinia chrysanthemi pectate lyases: enzyme characteristics and potential inhibitors.

In Erwinia chrysanthemi 3937, pectate lyase activity mainly results from the cumulative action of five major isoenzymes, PelA to PelE. Comparison of their amino acid sequences revealed two families, PelB-C and PelA-D-E. Molecular cloning permitted expression of the different pel genes in Escherichia coli and the isolation of each Pel independently from the other isoenzymes. We used similar experimental conditions to overproduce and purify the five Pels in a one-step chromatography method. We analyzed some of the basic enzymatic properties of these five isoenzymes. PelA has a low specific activity compared to the other four enzymes. PelB and PelC have a high affinity for their substrate: about 10-fold higher than the enzymes of the PelA-D-E group. The optimum pH is more alkaline for PelB and PelC (about 9.2) than for PelA, PelD, and PelE (from 8 to 8.8). Below pH 7, activity was negligible for PelB and PelC, while PelA, PelD, and PelE retained 25 to 30% of their activities. The temperature optima were determined to be 50 degrees C for PelD and PelE, 55 degrees C for PelA, and 60 degrees C for PelB and PelC. Enzymes of the PelB-C group are more stable than those of the PelA-D-E group. Use of substrates presenting various degrees of methylation revealed that PelA, PelD, and PelE are active only for very low levels of methylation, while PelB and PelC are more active on partially methylated pectins (up to 22% for PelC and up to 45% for PelB). Pectate lyases have an absolute requirement for Ca2+ ions. For the five isoenzymes, maximal activity was obtained at a Ca2+ concentration of 0.1 mM. None of the tested cations (Ba2+, Co2+, Cu2+, Mg2+, Mn2+, Sr2+, Zn2+) can substitute for Ca2+. At a high concentration (1 mM), most of the divalent cations inhibited pectate lyase activity. In addition, we demonstrated that two compounds present in plant tissues, epicatechin and salicylic acid, inhibit the pectate lyases at a concentration of 0.2 mM.     

Nucleotide and amino-acid sequences of a new-type pectate lyase from an alkaliphilic strain of Bacillus.

A pectate lyase (pectate transeliminase; EC 4.2.2.2), designated Pel-15E, was purified to homogeneity from a culture broth of alkaliphilic Bacillus sp. strain KSM-P15. The purified enzyme had a molecular mass of approximately 33 kDa, as determined by SDS/PAGE, and a pI of approximately pH 9.2. Pel-15E exhibited optimum activity at pH 10.5 and 50-55 degrees C in glycine/NaOH buffer. Pel-15E had an absolute requirement for Ca2+ ions for manifestation of the enzymatic activity and trans-eliminated poly(galacturonic) acid, most likely by endo-type cleavage. A gene for the enzyme, which was cloned using the shotgun method and sequenced, contained a 960-bp ORF encoding 320 amino acids. The mature enzyme (286 amino acids, 32 085 Da) from the deduced amino-acid sequence showed quite low homology to known Pels from various microorganisms with 16.1-20.4% identity. Furthermore, we were not able to find any conserved regions in the sequence of Pel-15E when aligned with the sequences of other enzymes from the established Pel superfamily. However, Pel-15E had some regions that were homologous to PelA from Azospirillum irakense with 39.8% identity. Based on their amino-acid sequence homology, Pel-15E and PelA appear to belong to a new class of Pel family, although the enzymatic properties of both enzymes were quite different.     

Expression,purification and characterization of pectate lyase A from <Emphasis Type="Italic">Aspergillus nidulans</Emphasis> in <Emphasis Type="Italic">Escherichia coli</Emphasis>

Pectate lyase A (PelA) of Aspergillus nidulans was successfully expressed in Escherichia coli and effectively purified using a Ni²⁺-nitrilotriacetate-agarose column. Enzyme activity of the recombinant PelA could reach 360 U ml⁻¹ medium. The expressed PelA exhibited its optimum level of activity over the range of pH 7.5–10 at 50°C. Mn²⁺, Ca²⁺, Fe²⁺, Mg²⁺ and Fe³⁺ ions stimulated the pectate lyase activity, but Cu²⁺ and Zn²⁺ inhibited it. The recombinant PelA had a V _max of 77 μmol min⁻¹ mg⁻¹ and an apparent K _m of 0.50 mg ml⁻¹ for polygalacturonic acid. Low-esterified pectin was the optimum substrate for the PelA, whereas higher-esterified pectin was hardly cleaved by it. PelA efficiently macerated mung bean hypocotyls and potato tuber tissues into single cells.     

Expression of a Bacillus subtilis pectate lyase gene in Pichia pastoris

The methylotrophic yeast Pichia pastoris is an attractive heterologous protein expression host, mainly for genes from higher eukaryotes. However, no successful examples for the expression of bacterial gene encoding pectate lyase in P. pastoris have been reported. The present study reports for the first time the cloning and functional expression of the bacterial Bacillus subtilis gene encoding alkaline pectate lyase in P. pastoris. A molecular weight of 43,644 Da was calculated from the deduced amino acid sequence. A pectate lyase activity as high as 100 U/ml was attained in the fermentation broth of P. pastoris GS 115, which was about 10 times higher than when the gene is expressed in Escherichia coli. The recombinant pectate lyase was purified to homogeneity and maximal activity of the enzyme was observed at 65 °C, and pH 9.4. The recombinant enzyme showed a wider pH and thermal stability spectrum than the purified pectate lyase from B. subtilis WSHB04-02. Pectate lyase activity slightly increased in the presence of Mg²⁺ (ion) but decreased in the presence of other metal ions. Analysis of polygalacturonic acid degradation products by electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry revealed that the degradation products were unsaturated trigalacturonic acid and unsaturated bigalacturonic acid, which confirms that the enzyme catalyzes a trans-elimination reaction.     

Deduced amino-acid sequence and possible catalytic residues of a novel pectate lyase from an alkaliphilic strain of Bacillus.

The nucleotide sequence of the gene for a highly alkaline, low-molecular-mass pectate lyase (Pel-15) from an alkaliphilic Bacillus isolate was determined. It harbored an open reading frame of 672 bp encoding the mature enzyme of 197 amino acids with a predicted molecular mass of 20 924 Da. The deduced amino-acid sequence of the mature enzyme showed very low homology (< 20.4% identity) to those of known pectinolytic enzymes in the large pectate lyase superfamily (the polysaccharide lyase family 1). In an integrally conserved region designated the BF domain, Pel-15 showed a high degree of identity (40.5% to 79.4%) with pectate lyases in the polysaccharide lyase family 3, such as PelA, PelB, PelC, and PelD from Fusarium solani f. sp. pisi, PelB from Erwinia carotovora ssp. carotovora, PelI from E. chrysanthemi, and PelA from a Bacillus strain. By site-directed mutagenesis of the Pel-15 gene, we replaced Lys20 in the N-terminal region, Glu38, Lys41, Glu47, Asp63, His66, Trp78, Asp80, Glu83, Asp84, Lys89, Asp106, Lys107, Asp126, Lys129, and Arg132 in the BF domain, and Arg152, Tyr174, Lys182, and Lys185 in the C-terminal region of the enzyme individually with Ala and/or other amino acids. Consequently, some carboxylate and basic residues selected from Glu38, Asp63, Glu83, Asp106, Lys107, Lys129, and Arg132 were suggested to be involved in catalysis and/or calcium binding. We constructed a chimeric enzyme composed of Ala1 to Tyr105 of Pel-15 in the N-terminal regions, Asp133 to Arg159 of FsPelB in the internal regions, and Gln133 to Tyr197 of Pel-15 in the C-terminal regions. The substituted PelB segment could also express beta-elimination activity in the chimeric molecule, confirming that Pel-15 and PelB share a similar active-site topology.     

Thermodynamic characterization of a highly thermoactive extracellular pectate lyase from a new isolate Bacillus pumilus DKS1

An extracellular pectate lyase (EC 4.2.2.2) was purified from the culture filtrate of a newly isolated Bacillus pumilus DKS1 grown in pectin containing medium. Using ion-exchange and gel filtration chromatography, this enzyme was purified and found to have a molecular weight of around 35kDa. The purified enzyme exhibited maximal activity at a temperature of 75 degrees C and pH 8.5. The presence of 1mM calcium and manganese enhanced pectate lyase activity and was strongly inhibited by zinc, nickel and EDTA. The thermal inactivation studies revealed an entropy-enthalpy compensation pattern below a critical temperature. The alkaliphilicity and high thermostability of this pectate lyase may have potential implications in fibre degumming.     

Purification and characterization of extracellular pectate lyase from Bacillus subtilis

Bacillus subtilis strain SO113 secretes a pectate lyase which is produced during the exponential death phase of growth, just before sporulation. This extracellular pectate lyase, which produces unsaturated products from polygalacturonate, was purified 35-fold from the culture supernatant of Bacillus subtilis by a CM Sephadex chromatography. It has an isoelectric point of about 9.6 and an Mr of 42,000. Optimum activity occurred at pH 8.4 and at 42 degrees C. Calcium has a stimulative effect on the enzyme activity while EDTA leads to enzyme inactivation. The pectate lyase has a specific activity of 131 mumol of aldehyde groups per min and per mg of protein. The Km of the purified enzyme for polygalacturonic acid was 0.862 g.l-1 and the Vmax for polygalacturonic acid hydrolysis was 1.475 mumol of unsaturated products per min and per mg of protein. By using monoclonal antibodies raised against Erwinia chrysanthemi 3937 pectate lyases, it was shown that pectate lyases b and c of this strain are immunologically closely related to the Bacillus subtilis pectate lyase.
