Biodegradation of feather keratin with a PEGylated protease of Chryseobacterium gleum

Present study deals with the covalent modification of keratinolytic protease of Chryseobacterium gleum with higher enzyme activity, improved stability, non-immunogenicity and reusability. Protease of C. gleum showing feather degradation ability was modified by covalent attachment to polyethylene glycol. This modification culminated the change in electrophoretic mobility of protease in acrylamide gel. The modified enzyme showed 1.4 times more catalytic activity with better stability than native in aqueous system containing whole feathers as keratin. It showed improved pH, thermal, storage and solvent stability with a broadened range of pH (7–9) and temperature (25–50 °C) than native. The differentiation between modified and native enzyme was authenticated through UV–vis spectroscopy, SEM, XRD, FTIR and DSC. This modification of protease proved to be non-immunogenic in rats. The enzyme extracted after first run could be used for several cycles which clearly demonstrated its reusability in catalytic bioprocess of keratin degradation.     

Properties of Leuconostoc mesenteroides B-512FMC constitutive dextransucrase

Leuconostoc mesenteroides B-512FMC, a constitutive mutant for dextransucrase, was grown on glucose, fructose, or sucrose. The amount of cell-associated dextransucrase was about the same for the three sugars at different concentrations (0.6% and 3%). Enzyme produced in glucose medium was adsorbed on Sephadex G-100 and G-200, but much less enzyme was adsorbed when it was produced in sucrose medium. Sephadex adsorption decreased when the glucose-produced enzyme was preincubated with dextrans of molecular size greater than 10 kDa. The release of dextransucrase activity from Sephadex by buffer (20 mM acetate, pH 5.2) was the highest at 28°–30°C. The addition of dextran to the enzyme stimulated dextran synthesis but had very little effect on the temperature or pH stability. Dextransucrase purified by ammonium sulfate precipitation, hydroxyapatite chromatography, and Sephadex G-200 adsorption did not contain any carbohydrate, and it synthesized dextran, showing that primers are not necessary to initiate dextran synthesis. The purified enzyme had a molecular size of 184 kDa on SDS-PAGE. On standing at 4°C for 30 days, the native enzyme was dissociated into three inactive proteins of 65, 62, and 57 kDa. However, two protein bands of 63 and 59 kDa were obtained on SDS-PAGE after heat denaturation of the 184-kDa active enzyme at 100°C. The amount of 63-kDa protein was about twice that of 59-kDa protein. The native enzyme is believed to be a trimer of two 63-kDa and one 59-kDa monomers.     

Effects of Size of Carbohydrate Chain on Protease Digestion of Aspergillus niger Endo-β-1,4-glucanase

Three different carbohydrate-depleted enzymes were prepared from an endo-β-l,4-glucanase of Aspergillus niger IF031125 by treatment with endo-β-N-acetylglucosaminidase or α-mannosidase. They were purified by Concanavalin A-Sepharose affinity and DEAE ion-exchange column chromatographies. The molecular sizes of these enzymes had been decreased from 40 kDa containing 9.0% carbohydrate to 39, 38, and 37kDa with carbohydrate at 4.5, 1.3, and 0.8% (wt/wt), respectively. The native and these carbohydrate-depleted enzymes were compared in their enzymatic properties, and it was found that they were identical in their catalytic activities and both thermal and pH stabilities. However, the 37-kDa enzyme was more susceptible to proteolysis by Savinase, proteinase K, and Pronase E. On the other hand, the specific protease trypsin showed no such effect on activity of all enzymes. These results suggested that the core structure of the asparagine-linked sugar chain, which consisted of three monosaccharide residues, contributed to the high stability of the endo-β-l,4-glucanase against protease digestion.     

Expression, purification, and characterization of a thermophilic neutral protease from Bacillus stearothermophilus in Bacillus subtilis

The gene coding for a thermophilic neutral protease from Bacillus stearothermophilus was expressed in Bacillus subtilis DB104, under the control of the sacB gene promoter. This was followed by either the native signal peptide sequence of this protease or the signal peptide sequence of the sacB gene. The protease was purified 3.8-fold, with a specific activity of 16530 U mg-1. As analyzed by SDS-PAGE, the molecular mass of the expressed protease was about 35 kDa, and the optimal temperature and pH of the protease were 65℃ and 7.5, respectively. Moreover, it still had about 80% activity after 1 h reaction at 65℃.     

Synthesis of ultrasmall superparamagnetic iron oxides using reduced polysaccharides

Investigation into the effect of the reducing sugar of dextran on formation and stability of dextran-coated ultrasmall superparamagnetic iron oxides (USPIO) has demonstrated that reduction of the terminal reducing sugar can have a significant effect on particle size, coating stability, and magnetic properties. Four aspects of polysaccharide-coated USPIO particle synthesis were investigated: (i) the effect reduction of the terminal polysaccharide sugar has upon polysaccharide usage, particle size, stability, and magnetic susceptibility; (ii) the effect an exogenous reducing sugar can have upon particle synthesis; (iii) the effect the molecular weight of the reduced polysaccharide has on particle synthesis; and (iv) the effectiveness of reduced and native dextrans in stabilizing a preformed magnetic sol. For low molecular weight dextrans (MW 20,000 x 10(-6) cgs). Similar results were obtained with a 12 kDa pullulan. The effect of polysaccharide molecular weight on particle size was studied, wherein higher molecular weight reduced dextrans produced larger particles. The effectiveness of the reduced and native dextrans in stabilizing a preformed magnetic sol was compared. Reduced dextrans were found to be superior for stabilizing the magnetic sol. The observed effects of reduction of the terminal sugar in dextran compared with the native dextran were modeled using the Langmuir adsorption isotherm. A good fit of experimental data with this model was found.

Macromolecular crowding-induced molten globule states of the alkali pH-denatured proteins

Structural and molecular properties extracted from circular dichroism (CD), tryptophan fluorescence and 1-anilino-8-napthalene sulfonate (ANS) binding experiments suggest that the high concentration of synthetic crowding agents (dextran 40, dextran 70 and ficoll 70) stabilizes and refolds the base-denatured ferricytochrome c (Ferricyt c) and lysozyme (Lyz) at pH 12.9 (±0.1) to molten globule (MG) states (C_B-states). These results further revealed that the C_B-states resemble the generic properties of MG-states. Thermodynamic analysis of thermal denaturation curves of base-denatured Ferricyt c and Lyz at pH 12.9 (±0.1) under variable concentrations of crowding agents (dextran 40, dextran 70 and ficoll 70) revealed that the crowder presence increases the thermal stability of base-denatured proteins and also prevents the cold denaturation of Ferricyt c. The results further showed that the nature, size and shape of crowder influence the crowding-mediated increase in secondary structure stabilization and thermal stability of base-denatured Ferricyt c and Lyz. Analysis of kinetic and thermodynamic parameters measured for CO association reaction of alkaline ferrocytochrome c (Ferrocyt c) at pH 12.9 (±0.1) under variable concentrations of crowding agents (dextran 40, dextran 70 and ficoll 70) revealed that the crowder presence reduces the level of structural fluctuation of M80-containing Ω-loop that control CO association to alkaline Ferrocyt c.

Crystal structure of the alkaline proteinase Savinase from Bacillus lentus at 1.4 A resolution.

Savinase (EC3.4.21.14) is secreted by the alkalophilic bacterium Bacillus lentus and is a representative of that subgroup of subtilisin enzymes with maximum stability in the pH range 7 to 10 and high activity in the range 8 to 12. It is therefore of major industrial importance for use in detergents. The crystal structure of the native form of Savinase has been refined using X-ray diffraction data to 1.4 A resolution. The starting model was that of subtilisin Carlsberg. A comparison to the structures of the closely related subtilisins Carlsberg and BPN' and to the more distant thermitase and proteinase K is presented. The structure of Savinase is very similar to those of homologous Bacillus subtilisins. There are two calcium ions in the structure, equivalent to the strong and the weak calcium-binding sites in subtilisin Carlsberg and subtilisin BPN', well known for their stabilizing effect on the subtilisins. The structure of Savinase shows novel features that can be related to its stability and activity. The relatively high number of salt bridges in Savinase is likely to contribute to its high thermal stability. The non-conservative substitutions and deletions in the hydrophobic binding pocket S1 result in the most significant structural differences from the other subtilisins. The different composition of the S1 binding loop as well as the more hydrophobic character of the substrate-binding region probably contribute to the alkaline activity profile of the enzyme. The model of Savinase contains 1880 protein atoms, 159 water molecules and two calcium ions. The crystallographic R-factor [formula; see text].
