Enzymatic synthesis of a galactose-containing trehalose analogue disaccharide by Pyrococcus horikoshii trehalose-synthesizing glycosyltransferase: Inhibitory effects on several disaccharidase activities

Pyrococcus horikoshii trehalose-synthesizing glycosyltransferase employed a galactose as an acceptor in the glucosyl transfer reaction with an NDP-Glc donor. The reaction produced a non-reducing transfer product in a yield of more than 30% based on the molar concentration of donor used. The transfer product was purified by paper chromatography and preparative HPLC, and its glycosidic structure was confirmed by ¹³C nuclear magnetic resonance to be -d-glucopyranosyl -d-galactopyranoside. Interestingly, this trehalose analogue disaccharide inhibited the action of several disaccharidases, including a trehalase. The analogue competitively inhibited porcine kidney and rat intestinal trehalases with K_i values of 0.68 and 3.7 mM, respectively. It also competitively inhibited other intestinal disaccharidases such as sucrase, maltase, and isomaltase with respective K_i values of approximately 0.66, 3.0, and 2.1 mM. Accordingly, this trehalose analogue would be a potentially indigestible disaccharide, effectively inhibiting intestinal brush border disaccharidases.     

New Deblocking Aminopeptidases from Pyrococcus horikoshii

It has been reported that one of the hyperthermostable aminopeptidases from Pyrococcus horikoshii exhibits hydrolytic activity toward short peptides and acyl-peptides (deblocking activity). In the genome database of P. horikoshii, two new open reading frames homologous to the hyperthermostable aminopeptidase of P. horikoshii were found. The two new genes for the proteins were cloned, expressed using E. coli, and characterized. The purified proteins gave a single band on SDS-PAGE corresponding to molecular masses of 42 kDa and 41 kDa respectively, and exhibited aminopeptidase activity, including deblocking activity. These enzymes are likely to exist as oligomeric structures at neutral pH. The optimum pHs of the two enzyme activities were in the range of 7.0 to 7.5, and the optimum temperatures for the activities were around 100 °C. The enzymes exhibited low hydrolytic activity for peptide substrates longer than 10 residues. They were activated by cobalt and zinc ions. Their substrate specificities and activation factors are different. It was confirmed that P. horikoshii has three similar aminopeptidases with deblocking activity and that these enzymes appear to play important roles in hydrolyzing small peptides in P. horikoshii cells.
