Thermobifida fusca Cel9A-90 is a processive endoglucanase consisting of a family 9 catalytic domain (CD), a family 3c cellulose binding module (CBM3c), a fibronectin III-like domain, and a family 2 CBM. This enzyme has the highest activity of any individual T. fusca enzyme on crystalline substrates, particularly bacterial cellulose (BC). Mutations were introduced into the CD or the CBM3c of Cel9A-68 using site-directed mutagenesis. The mutant enzymes were expressed in Escherichia coli; purified; and tested for activity on four substrates, ligand binding, and processivity. The results show that H125 and Y206 play an important role in activity by forming a hydrogen bonding network with the catalytic base, D58; another important supporting residue, D55; and Glc(-1) O1. R378, a residue interacting with Glc(+1), plays an important role in processivity. Several enzymes with mutations in the subsites Glc(-2) to Glc(-4) had less than 15% activity on BC and markedly reduced processivity. Mutant enzymes with severalfold-higher activity on carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) were found in the subsites from Glc(-2) to Glc(-4). The CBM3c mutant enzymes, Y520A, R557A/E559A, and R563A, had decreased activity on BC but had wild-type or improved processivity. Mutation of D513, a conserved residue at the end of the CBM, increased activity on crystalline cellulose. Previous work showed that deletion of the CBM3c abolished crystalline activity and processivity. This study shows that it is residues in the catalytic cleft that control processivity while the CBM3c is important for loose binding of the enzyme to the crystalline cellulose substrate.  相似文献

Clostridium thermocellum cellodextrin phosphorylase (CtCDP), a single-module protein without an apparent carbohydrate-binding module, has reported activities on soluble cellodextrin with a degree of polymerization (DP) from two to five. In this study, CtCDP was first discovered to have weak activities on weakly water-soluble celloheptaose and insoluble regenerated amorphous cellulose (RAC). To enhance its activity on solid cellulosic materials, four cellulose binding modules, e.g., CBM3 (type A) from C. thermocellum CbhA, CBM4-2 (type B) from Rhodothermus marinus Xyn10A, CBM6 (type B) from Cellvibrio mixtus Cel5B, and CBM9-2 (type C) from Thermotoga maritima Xyn10A, were fused to the C terminus of CtCDP. Fusion of any selected CBM with CtCDP did not influence its kinetic parameters on cellobiose but affected the binding and catalytic properties on celloheptaose and RAC differently. Among them, addition of CBM9 to CtCDP resulted in a 2.7-fold increase of catalytic efficiency for degrading celloheptaose. CtCDP-CBM9 exhibited enhanced specific activities over 20% on the short-chain RAC (DP = 14) and more than 50% on the long-chain RAC (DP = 164). The chimeric protein CtCDP-CBM9 would be the first step to construct a cellulose phosphorylase for in vitro hydrogen production from cellulose by synthetic pathway biotransformation (SyPaB).  相似文献

Fifteen mutant genes in six loop residues and eight mutant genes in five conserved noncatalytic active site residues of Thermobifida fusca Cel6B were constructed, cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli or Streptomyces lividans. The mutant enzymes were assayed for catalytic activity on carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), swollen cellulose (SC), filter paper (FP), and bacterial microcrystalline cellulose (BMCC) as well as cellotetraose, cellopentaose, and 2, 4-dinitrophenyl-beta-D-cellobioside. They were also assayed for ligand binding, enzyme processivity, thermostability, and cellobiose feedback inhibition. Two double Cys mutations that formed disulfide bonds across two tunnel forming loops were found to significantly weaken binding to ligands, lower all activities, and processivity, demonstrating that the movement of these loops is important but not essential for Cel6B function. Two single mutant enzymes, G234S and G284P, had higher activity on SC and FP, and the double mutant enzyme had threefold and twofold higher activity on these substrates, respectively. However, synergism with endocellulase T. fusca Cel5A was not increased with these mutant enzymes. All mutant enzymes with lower activity on filter paper, BMCC, and SC had lower processivity. This trend was not true for CMC, suggesting that processivity in Cel6B is a key factor in the hydrolysis of insoluble and crystalline cellulose. Three mutations (E495D, H326A and W329C) located near putative glycosyl substrate subsites -2, +1 and +2, were found to significantly increase resistance to cellobiose feedback inhibition. Both the A229V and L230C mutations specifically decreased activity on BMCC, suggesting that BMCC hydrolysis has a different rate limiting step than the other substrates. Most of the mutant enzymes had reduced thermostability although Cel6B G234S maintained wild-type thermostability. The properties of the different mutant enzymes provide insight into the catalytic mechanism of Cel6B.  相似文献

Cel9B from Paenibacillus barcinonensis is a modular endoglucanase with a novel molecular architecture among family 9 enzymes that comprises a catalytic domain (GH9), a family 3c cellulose-binding domain (CBM3c), a fibronectin III-like domain repeat (Fn31,2), and a C-terminal family 3b cellulose-binding domain (CBM3b). A series of truncated derivatives of endoglucanase Cel9B have been constructed and characterized. Deletion of CBM3c produced a notable reduction in hydrolytic activity, while it did not affect the cellulose-binding properties as CBM3c did not show the ability to bind to cellulose. On the contrary, CBM3b exhibited binding to cellulose. The truncated forms devoid of CBM3b lost cellulose-binding ability and showed a reduced activity on crystalline cellulose, although activity on amorphous celluloses was not affected. Endoglucanase Cel9B produced only a small ratio of insoluble products from filter paper, while most of the reducing ends produced by the enzyme were released as soluble sugars (91%), indicating that it is a processive enzyme. Processivity of Cel9B resides in traits contained in the tandem of domains GH9–CBM3c, although the slightly reduced processivity of truncated form GH9–CBM3c suggests a minor contribution of domains Fn31,2 or CBM3b, not contained in it, on processivity of endoglucanase Cel9B.  相似文献

In bacterial cellulase systems, glycoside hydrolase family 9 (GH9) cellulases are generally regarded as the major cellulose-degrading factors besides GH48 exoglucanase. In this study, umcel9A, which was cloned from uncultured microorganisms from compost, with the encoded protein being theme C GH9 cellulase, was heterologously expressed in Escherichia coli, and the biochemical properties of the purified enzyme were characterized. Hydrolysis of carboxylmethylcellulose (CMC) by Umcel9A led to the decreased viscosity of CMC solution and production of reducing sugars. Interestingly, cellobiose was the major product when cellulosic materials were hydrolyzed by Umcel9A. Six representative carbohydrate-binding modules (CBMs) from different CBM families (CBM1, CBM2, CBM3, CBM4, CBM10, and CBM72) were fused with Umcel9A at the natural terminal position, resulting in significant enhancement of the binding capacity of the chimeric enzymes toward four different insoluble celluloses as compared with that of Umcel9A. Catalytic activity of the chimeric enzymes against insoluble celluloses, including phosphoric acid-swollen cellulose (PASC), alkali-pretreated sugarcane bagasse (ASB), filter paper powder (FPP), and Avicel, was higher than that of Umcel9A, except for Umcel9A-CBM3. In these chimeric enzymes, CBM4-Umcel9A exhibited the highest activity toward the four tested insoluble celluloses and displayed 4.2-, 3.0-, 2.4-, and 6.6-fold enhanced activity toward PASC, ASB, FPP, and Avicel, respectively, when compared with that of Umcel9A. CBM4-Umcel9A also showed highest V max and catalytic efficiency (k cat/K M) against PASC. Construction of chimeric enzymes may have potential applications in biocatalytic processes and provides insight into the evolution of the molecular architecture of catalytic module and CBM in GH9 cellulases.  相似文献

The xylan-binding module Clostridium thermocellum CBM22A was successfully fused to a gluco-oligosaccharide oxidase, GOOX-VN, from Sarocladium strictum via a short TP linker, allowing the fused protein to effectively bind different xylans. The presence of the CtCBM22A at the N-terminal of GOOX-VN increased catalytic activity on mono- and oligo-saccharides by 2-3 fold while not affecting binding affinity to these substrates. Notably, both GOOX-VN and its CBM fusion also showed oxidation of xylo-oligosaccharides with degrees of polymerization greater than six. Whereas fusion to CtCBM22A did not alter the thermostability of GOOX-VN or reduce substrate inhibition, CtCBM22A_GOOX-VN could be immobilized to insoluble oat spelt xylan while retaining wild-type activity. QCM-D analysis showed that the fused enzyme remained bound during oxidation. These features could be harnessed to generate hemicellulose-based biosensors that detect and quantify the presence of different oligosaccharides.  相似文献

Clostridium thermocellum CelJ is a modular enzyme containing a family 30 carbohydrate-binding module (CBM) and a family 9 catalytic module at its N-terminal moiety. To investigate the functions of the CBM and the catalytic module, truncated derivatives of CelJ were constructed and characterized. Isothermal titration calorimetric studies showed that the association constants (K(a)) of the CBM polypeptide (CBM30) for the binding of cellopentaose and cellohexaose were 1.2 x 10(4) and 6.4 x 10(4) M(-1), respectively, and that the binding of CBM30 to these ligands is enthalpically driven. Qualitative analyses showed that CBM30 had strong affinity for cellulose and beta-1,3-1,4-mixed glucan such as barley beta-glucan and lichenan. Analyses of the hydrolytic action of the enzyme comprising the CBM and the catalytic module showed that the enzyme is a processive endoglucanse with strong activity towards carboxymethylcellulose, barley beta-glucan and lichenan. By contrast, the catalytic module polypeptide devoid of the CBM showed negligible activity toward these substrates. These observations suggest that the CBM is extremely important not only because it mediates the binding of the enzyme to the substrates but also because it participates in the catalytic function of the enzyme or contributes to maintaining the correct tertiary structure of the family 9 catalytic module for expressing enzyme activity.  相似文献

Cel5 from marine Hahella chejuensis is composed of glycoside hydrolase family-5 (GH5) catalytic domain (CD) and two carbohydrate binding modules (CBM6-2). The enzyme was expressed in Escherichia coli and purified to homogeneity. The optimum endoglucanase and xylanase activities of recombinant Cel5 were observed at 65 °C, pH 6.5 and 55 °C, pH 5.5, respectively. It exhibited K m of 1.8 and 7.1 mg/ml for carboxymethyl cellulose and birchwood xylan, respectively. The addition of Ca2+ greatly improved thermostability and endoglucanase activity of Cel5. The Cel5 retained 90 % of its endoglucanase activity after 24 h incubation in presence of 5 M concentration of NaCl. Recombinant Cel5 showed production of cellobiose after hydrolysis of cellulosic substrates (soluble/insoluble) and methylglucuronic acid substituted xylooligosaccharides after hydrolysis of glucuronoxylans by endo-wise cleavage. These results indicated that Cel5 as bifunctional enzyme having both processive endoglucanase and xylanase activities. The multidomain structure of Cel5 is clearly distinguished from the GH5 bifunctional glycoside hydrolases characterized to date, which are single domain enzymes. Sequence analysis and homology modeling suggested presence of two conserved binding sites with different substrate specificities in CBM6-2 and a single catalytic site in CD. Residues Glu132 and Glu219 were identified as key catalytic amino acids by sequence alignment and further verified by using site directed mutagenesis. CBM6-2 plays vital role in catalytic activity and thermostability of Cel5. The bifunctional activities and multiple substrate specificities of Cel5 can be utilized for efficient hydrolysis of cellulose and hemicellulose into soluble sugars.  相似文献

Clostridium thermocellum xylanase Xyn10C (formerly XynC) is a modular enzyme, comprising a family-22 carbohydrate-binding module (CBM), a family-10 catalytic module of the glycoside hydrolases, and a dockerin module responsible for cellulosome assembly consecutively from the N-terminus. To study the functions of the CBM, truncated derivatives of Xyn10C were constructed: a recombinant catalytic module polypeptide (rCM), a family-22 CBM polypeptide (rCBM), and a polypeptide composed of the family-22 CBM and CM (rCBM-CM). The recombinant proteins were characterized by enzyme and binding assays. Although the catalytic activity of rCBM-CM toward insoluble xylan was four times higher than that of rCM toward the same substrate, removal of the CBM did not severely affect catalytic activity toward soluble xylan or beta-1,3-1,4-glucan. rCBM showed an affinity for amorphous celluloses and insoluble and soluble xylan in qualitative binding assays. The optimum temperature of rCBM-CM was 80 degrees C and that of rCM was 60 degrees C. These results indicate that the family-22 CBM of C. thermocellum Xyn10C not only was responsible for the binding of the enzyme to the substrates, but also contributes to the stability of the CM in the presence of the substrate at high temperatures.  相似文献

Rice BGlu1 beta-glucosidase is a glycosyl hydrolase family 1 enzyme that acts as an exoglucanase on beta-(1,4)- and short beta-(1,3)-linked gluco-oligosaccharides. Mutations of BGlu1 beta-glucosidase at glutamate residue 414 of its natural precursor destroyed the enzyme's catalytic activity, but the enzyme could be rescued in the presence of the anionic nucleophiles such as formate and azide, which verifies that this residue is the catalytic nucleophile. The catalytic activities of three candidate mutants, E414G, E414S, and E414A, in the presence of the nucleophiles were compared. The E414G mutant had approximately 25- and 1400-fold higher catalytic efficiency than E414A and E414S, respectively. All three mutants could catalyze the synthesis of mixed length oligosaccharides by transglucosylation, when alpha-glucosyl fluoride was used as donor and pNP-cellobioside as acceptor. The E414G mutant gave the fastest transglucosylation rate, which was approximately 3- and 19-fold faster than that of E414S and E414A, respectively, and gave yields of up to 70-80% insoluble products with a donor-acceptor ratio of 5:1. (13)C-NMR, methylation analysis, and electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry showed that the insoluble products were beta-(1,4)-linked oligomers with a degree of polymerization of 5 to at least 11. The BGlu1 E414G glycosynthase was found to prefer longer chain length oligosaccharides that occupy at least three sugar residue-binding subsites as acceptors for productive transglucosylation. This is the first report of a beta-glucansynthase derived from an exoglycosidase that can produce long-chain cello-oligosaccharides, which likely reflects the extended oligosaccharide-binding site of rice BGlu1 beta-glucosidase.  相似文献

To obtain high expression efficiency of a mannanase gene, ThMan5A, cloned from Trichoderma harzianum MGQ2, both the full-length gene and a truncated gene (ThMan5A△CBM) that contains only the catalytic domain, were expressed in Trichoderma reesei QM9414 using the strong constitutive promoter of the gene encoding pyruvate decarboxylase (pdc), and purified to homogeneity, respectively. We found that truncation of the gene improved its expression efficiency as well as the enzymatic properties of the encoded protein. The recombinant strain expressing ThMan5A△CBM produced 2,460 ± 45.1 U/ml of mannanase activity in the culture supernatant; 2.3-fold higher than when expressing the full-length ThMan5A gene. In addition, the truncated mannanase had superior thermostability compared with the full-length enzyme and retained 100 % of its activity after incubation at 60 °C for 48 h. Our results clearly show that the truncated ThMan5A enzyme exhibited improved characteristics both in expression efficiency and in its thermal stability. These characteristics suggest that ThMan5A△CBM has potential applications in the food, feed, paper, and pulp industries.  相似文献

The heme-regulated phosphodiesterase (PDE) from Escherichia coli (Ec DOS) is a tetrameric protein composed of an N-terminal sensor domain (amino acids 1-201) containing two PAS domains (PAS-A, amino acids 21-84, and PAS-B, amino acids 144-201) and a C-terminal catalytic domain (amino acids 336-799). Heme is bound to the PAS-A domain, and the redox state of the heme iron regulates PDE activity. In our experiments, a H77A mutation and deletion of the PAS-B domain resulted in the loss of heme binding affinity to PAS-A. However, both mutant proteins were still tetrameric and more active than the full-length wild-type enzyme (140% activity compared with full-length wild type), suggesting that heme binding is not essential for catalysis. An N-terminal truncated mutant (DeltaN147, amino acids 148-807) containing no PAS-A domain or heme displayed 160% activity compared with full-length wild-type protein, confirming that the heme-bound PAS-A domain is not required for catalytic activity. An analysis of C-terminal truncated mutants led to mapping of the regions responsible for tetramer formation and revealed PDE activity in tetrameric proteins only. Mutations at a putative metal-ion binding site (His-590, His-594) totally abolished PDE activity, suggesting that binding of Mg2+ to the site is essential for catalysis. Interestingly, the addition of the isolated PAS-A domain in the Fe2+ form to the full-length wild-type protein markedly enhanced PDE activity (>5-fold). This activation is probably because of structural changes in the catalytic site as a result of interactions between the isolated PAS-A domain and that of the holoenzyme.  相似文献

We have shown recently that the 37-amino acid intracellular domain of the single-transmembrane, natriuretic peptide clearance receptor, NPR-C, which is devoid of kinase and guanylyl cyclase activities, activates selectively Gi1 and Gi2 in gastric and tenia coli smooth muscle. In this study, we have used synthetic peptide fragments of the N-terminal, C-terminal, and middle regions of the cytoplasmic domain of NPR-C to identify the G protein-activating sequence. A 17-amino acid peptide of the middle region (Arg469-Arg485), denoted Peptide 4, which possesses two N-terminal arginine residues and a C-terminal B-B-X-X-B motif (where B and X are basic and non-basic residues, respectively) bound selectively to Gi1 and Gi2, activated phospholipase C-beta3 via the betagamma subunits, inhibited adenylyl cyclase, and induced smooth muscle contraction, in similar fashion to the selective NPR-C ligand, cANP4-23. A similar sequence (Peptide 3), but with a partial C-terminal motif, had minimal activity. Sequences which possessed either the N-terminal basic residues (Peptide 1) or the C-terminal B-B-X-X-B motif (Peptide 2) were inactive. Peptide 2, however, inhibited G protein activation and cellular responses mediated by the stimulatory Peptide 4 and by cANP4-23, suggesting that the B-B-X-X-B motif mediated binding but not activation of G protein, thus causing Peptide 2 to act as a competitive inhibitor of G protein activation.  相似文献

The cellulosomal family 9 cellulase genes engH, engK, engL, engM, and engY of Clostridium cellulovorans have been cloned and sequenced. We compared the enzyme activity of family 9 cellulosomal cellulases from C. cellulovorans and their derivatives. EngH has the highest activity toward soluble cellulose derivatives such as carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) as well as insoluble cellulose such as acid-swollen cellulose (ASC). EngK has high activity toward insoluble cellulose such as ASC and Avicel. The results of thin-layer chromatography showed that the cleavage products of family 9 cellulases were varied. These results indicated that family 9 endoglucanases possess different modes of attacking substrates and produce varied products. To investigate the functions of the carbohydrate-binding module (CBM) and the catalytic module, truncated derivatives of EngK, EngH, and EngY were constructed and characterized. EngHΔCBM and EngYΔCBM devoid of the CBM lost activity toward all substrates including CMC. EngKΔCBM and EngMΔCBM did not lose activity toward CMC but lost activity toward Avicel. These observations suggest that the CBM is extremely important not only because it mediates the binding of the enzyme to the substrates but also because it participates in the catalytic function of the enzyme or contributes to maintaining the correct tertiary structure of the family 9 catalytic module for expressing enzyme activity.  相似文献

DNA methyltransferase Dnmt1 ensures clonal transmission of lineage-specific DNA methylation patterns in a mammalian genome during replication. Dnmt1 is targeted to replication foci, interacts with PCNA, and favors methylating the hemimethylated form of CpG sites. To understand the underlying mechanism of its maintenance function, we purified recombinant forms of full-length Dnmt1, a truncated form of Dnmt1-(291-1620) lacking the binding sites for PCNA and DNA and examined their processivity using a series of long unmethylated and hemimethylated DNA substrates. Direct analysis of methylation patterns using bisulfite-sequencing and hairpin-PCR techniques demonstrated that full-length Dnmt1 methylates hemimethylated DNA with high processivity and a fidelity of over 95%, but unmethylated DNA with much less processivity. The truncated form of Dnmt1 showed identical properties to full-length Dnmt1 indicating that the N-terminal 290-amino acid residue region of Dnmt1 is not required for preferential activity toward hemimethylated sites or for processivity of the enzyme. Remarkably, our analyses also revealed that Dnmt1 methylates hemimethylated CpG sites on one strand of double-stranded DNA during a single processive run. Our findings suggest that these inherent enzymatic properties of Dnmt1 play an essential role in the faithful and efficient maintenance of methylation patterns in the mammalian genome.  相似文献

Barley limit dextrinase (HvLD) of glycoside hydrolase family 13 is the sole enzyme hydrolysing α-1,6-glucosidic linkages from starch in the germinating seed. Surprisingly, HvLD shows 150- and 7-fold higher activity towards pullulan and β-limit dextrin, respectively, than amylopectin. This is investigated by mutational analysis of residues in the N-terminal CBM-21-like domain (Ser14Arg, His108Arg, Ser14Arg/His108Arg) and at the outer subsites +2 (Phe553Gly) and +3 (Phe620Ala, Asp621Ala, Phe620Ala/Asp621Ala) of the active site. The Ser14 and His108 mutants mimic natural LD variants from sorghum and rice with elevated enzymatic activity. Although situated about 40 Å from the active site, the single mutants had 15–40% catalytic efficiency compared to wild type for the three polysaccharides and the double mutant retained 27% activity for β-limit dextrin and 64% for pullulan and amylopectin. These three mutants hydrolysed 4,6-O-benzylidene-4-nitrophenyl-63-α-d-maltotriosyl-maltotriose (BPNPG3G3) with 51–109% of wild-type activity. The results highlight that the N-terminal CBM21-like domain plays a role in activity. Phe553 and the highly conserved Trp512 sandwich a substrate main chain glucosyl residue at subsite +2 of the active site, while substrate contacts of Phe620 and Asp621 at subsite +3 are less prominent. Phe553Gly showed 47% and 25% activity on pullulan and BPNPG3G3, respectively having a main role at subsite +2. By contrast at subsite +3, Asp621Ala increased activity on pullulan by 2.4-fold, while Phe620Ala/Asp621Ala retained only 7% activity on pullulan albeit showed 25% activity towards BPNPG3G3. This outcome supports that the outer substrate binding area harbours preference determinants for the branched substrates amylopectin and β-limit dextrin.  相似文献

The gluco-oligosaccharide oxidase from Sarocladium strictum CBS 346.70 (GOOX) is a single domain flavoenzyme that favourably oxidizes gluco- and xylo- oligosaccharides. In the present study, GOOX was shown to also oxidize plant polysaccharides, including cellulose, glucomannan, β-(1→3,1→4)-glucan, and xyloglucan, albeit to a lesser extent than oligomeric substrates. To improve GOOX activity on polymeric substrates, three carbohydrate binding modules (CBMs) from Clostridium thermocellum, namely CtCBM3 (type A), CtCBM11 (type B), and CtCBM44 (type B), were separately appended to the amino and carboxy termini of the enzyme, generating six fusion proteins. With the exception of GOOX-CtCBM3 and GOOX-CtCBM44, fusion of the selected CBMs increased the catalytic activity of the enzyme (kcat) on cellotetraose by up to 50%. All CBM fusions selectively enhanced GOOX binding to soluble and insoluble polysaccharides, and the immobilized enzyme on a solid cellulose surface remained stable and active. In addition, the CBM fusions increased the activity of GOOX on soluble glucomannan by up to 30 % and on insoluble crystalline as well as amorphous cellulose by over 50 %.  相似文献

Endo-β-1.3–1.4-glucanase Lic16A of the moderate thermophilic anaerobe Clostridium thermocellum has a complex multimodular structure. In addition to the catalytic module, Lic16A contains eight auxiliary modules, five of which are substrate-binding modules. The new family 54 substrate-binding module CBM54 (25.2 kDa), which is at the N terminus of the enzyme, has a cleavage site in its N-terminal part, and its cleavage yields a shortened module CBM54C (17.2 kDa) in vivo and in vitro. CBM54C was cloned in Escherichia coli and purified to electrophoretic homogeneity. The binding constants of CBM54C to xylan, chitin, insoluble yeast cell wall β-glucan, and bacterial crystalline cellulose were of the same order of magnitude as for CBM54. However, CBM54C did not bind pustulan, avicel, and chitosan, in contrast to CBM54. Calcium ions restored the ability of CBM54C to bind these three carbohydrates. CBM54 substrate binding promiscuity suggested multiple binding sites, some of them being Ca2+ dependent. The Ca2+-independent sites for avicel, pustulan and chitosan were localized to the spontaneously split-off N-terminal part (8 kDa) of CBM54. The arrangement of Ca2+-dependent and Ca2+-independent binding sites for various substrates was suggested.  相似文献
