Amino acid residues adjacent to the catalytic cavity of tetramer l-asparaginase II contribute significantly to its catalytic efficiency and thermostability

l-Asparaginase (l-asparagine amidohydrolase, EC 3.5.1.1) catalyzes the hydrolysis of l-asparagine to l-aspartic acid and ammonia. It can be used to reduce the formation of acrylamide, which is carcinogenic to humans in foods, via removal of the precursor, asparagine, from the primary ingredients. However, low activity and poor thermostability of l-asparaginase restrict its application in food industry. In this study, we successfully improved thermostability and catalytic efficiency of l-asparaginase II (BsAII) from Bacillus subtilis B11-06 by site-directed mutagenesis. According to sequences alignment and homologous modeling, residues G107, T109 and S166 which were adjacent to the catalytic cavity were selected and substituted by Asp, Gln/Ser and Ala, respectively, to construct mutants G107D, T109Q, T109S and S166A. The BsAII mutant of G107D (G107D_ansz) displayed superior performance in thermal tolerance and higher activity than the wild-type enzyme (towards l-asparagine). Comparative analysis of hydrogen bond interactions, surface electrostatic potential and structure of substrate binding pocket between G107D_anszand BsAII indicated that the substitution of G107, which was adjacent to catalytic cavity with Asp, resulted in small conformational changes and surface electrostatic potential redistribution and contributed to the improved protein stability and catalytic efficiency.     

Molecular characterization of the thermostability and carbohydrate-binding module from a newly identified GH118 family agarase,AgaXa

AgaXa is a thermostable β-agarase from the agar-degrading bacterium Catenovulum sp. X3. To further understand the mechanism of protein stabilization of AgaXa, several mutants were generated by random and site-directed mutagenesis, and they were subsequently screened by analysing their enzymatic activity and thermostability. Four mutants (V197D, P259H, C442S and C528S) were found for which the enzyme activity and thermostability were significantly decreased. Moreover, secondary structures determined by circular dichroism (CD) showed that mutants V197D and P259H presented a higher percentage of α-helix but fewer β-strands than wild-type (WT) AgaXa. On the contrary, no significant changes were observed in the secondary structures of mutants C442S and C528S. Through the treatment by proteinase K, different digested profiles were generated from mutants V197D and P259H when compared to WT, and mutants C442S and C528S was observed with more digested protein fragments. These results indicate that the enzymatic activity and stability of AgaXa is mainly related to its hydrophobic structure and disulphide bonds. Furthermore, carbohydrate-binding ability was also analysed for the mutants of N- and C-terminal deletions, and the results showed that agarose binding capability was not changed, indicating that the carbohydrate-binding module is probably located in the middle of the β-agarase AgaXa.

Cloning of a gene encoding cinnamoyl ester hydrolase from the ruminai bacterium Butyrivibrio fibrisolvens E14 by a novel method

Abstract A gene ( cin I) encoding a cinnamoyl ester hydrolase (CEH) has been isolated from the ruminai bacterium, Butyrivibrio fibrisohens E14, using a model substrate, MUTMAC [4-methylumbelliferoyl ( p -trimethylammonium cinnamate chloride)]. CinI has significant amino-acid similarities with members of a large and diverse family of hydrolases with a serine/aspartic acid/ histidine catalytic triad. Our analyses identified two previously unclassified amino acid sequences, the amino-terminal domain of unknown function in XynZ from Clostridium thermocellum and XynC, an acetylxylan esterase from Caldicellulosiruptor saccharolyticus , as members of the same family of hydrolases. A previously described esterase with CEH activity, XylD from Pseudomonas fluorescens ssp. cellulosa , is not similar to CinI. CinI was expressed at high levels in the periplasmic fraction of E. coli TOPP2 and released ferulic acid from Fara [5- O -( trans -feruloyl)-arabinofuranose] prepared from wheat bran.     

来源于Rhinocladiella mackenziei的玉米赤霉烯酮水解酶的表达纯化与酶学性质

【背景】玉米赤霉烯酮(Zearalenone,ZEN)是污染最广泛的霉菌毒素之一,对饲料行业和畜牧业造成了巨大的经济损失。目前研究最为广泛的玉米赤霉烯酮降解酶ZHD101因其热稳定性较差,无法满足工业应用上的要求。【目的】为实现玉米赤霉烯酮降解酶在工业上的应用,寻找酶学性质更突出的ZEN降解酶。【方法】基于对Gen Bank数据库的挖掘,发现一个来源于麦氏喙枝孢霉(Rhinocladiella mackenziei CBS 650.93)的Rmzhd基因,构建p ET-46-Rmzhd质粒。利用大肠杆菌表达体系和亲和层析、离子交换纯化体系对蛋白进行表达和纯化,通过高效液相凝胶色谱分析酶学性质。【结果】发现一个新的ZEN水解酶Rm ZHD,RmZHD在pH 8.6和45°C条件下的活性最高,而且具有较高的耐热性。结构分析表明,较高的盐桥数目和溶剂暴露脯氨酸含量可能是造成其高耐热性的原因。【结论】本研究为促进玉米赤霉烯酮降解酶在工业上的应用打下基础。     

Effect of thyroid hormones on acid cholesterol ester hydrolase activity in rat liver,heart and epididymal fat pads

The regulation of acid cholesterol ester hydrolase activity by thyroid hormones was studied in subcellular fractions from rat liver, heart, and epididymal fat pads; hydrolase activity was determined at pH 5 with a glycerol-dispersed cholesterol oleate substrate preparation. Acid cholesterol ester hydrolase activity was decreased in liver preparations from thyroidectomized rats relative to activity in livers from euthyroid control rats. Administration of triidothyronine to either euthyroid or hypothyroid (thyroidectomized) rats resulted in an increase in acid cholesterol ester hydrolase activity in liver preparations. Similar effects of thyroidectomy and the administration of triiodothyronine on acid cholesterol ester hydrolase activity were observed with fat pad preparations. In contrast, no effect of thyroid hormones was observed on acid cholesterol ester hydrolase activity in heart. These results suggest that thyroid hormones may regulate the catabolism of serum lipoproteins, in part, by alterations in lysosomal acid cholesterol ester hydrolase activity in liver and epididymal fat pads.
