Antibacterial activity of lyase-depolymerized products of alginate

A series of mannuronic acid (M-block) and guluronic acid (G-block) fractions (M1–M5 and G1–G5) with different molecular weights were obtained by lyase depolymerization of alginate and evaluated for in vitro antibacterial activity against 19 bacterial strains. The antibacterial data revealed that both types of fractions generally showed activity against certain tested bacteria, whereas M-block fractions showed broader spectra and more potent inhibition than G-block fractions. Among these fractions, M3 (molecular weight 4.235 kDa) exhibited the broadest spectrum of inhibition and high inhibitory activity against Escherichia coli (minimal inhibitory concentration, MIC = 0.312 μg mL⁻¹), Salmonella paratyphi B (MIC = 0.225 μg mL⁻¹), Staphylococcus aureus (MIC = 0.016 μg mL⁻¹) and Bacillus subtilis (MIC = 0.325 μg mL⁻¹).     

Kinetics and specificity of alginate lyases

A purified preparation of the extracellular alginate lyase has been used to study kinetics and specificity towards purified, homopolymeric fragments of alginate. The enzyme preparation from Bacillus circulans 1351 degraded both block types, although with different efficiency, and thus appears to be nonspecific. Addition of calcium ions markedly enhanced the reaction rate for the polymannuronate block but had little or no effect on the reaction with polyguluronate. Michaelis-Menten kinetics are not obeyed in the absence of calcium ions and only for the polymannuronate in the presence of calciumThe study of progress curves in response to variation in substrate and enzyme concentrations strongly suggests that the abalone lyase is subject to a reversible product inhibition.

Determination of alginate composition by a simple enzymatic assay

The action of alginate lyases may be easily followed in a UV-spectrophotometer, since each cut of the alginate chain will create an unsaturated unit at the non-reducing end with a strong absorbance at 230 nm. During prolonged incubation, this absorbance will approach an apparent endpoint level that reflects the initial substrate concentration. On this basis, a standardized assay has been developed. A combination of purified mannuronate lyase from Haliotis tuberculata and purified guluronate lyase from Klebsiella pneumoniae is applied to get quantitative concentration estimates that do not depend on alginate composition. The production of alginate in Azotobacter vinelandii is included as an example of application. Most important, by applying both enzymes alone and in combination, the block composition of the alginate may be estimated. Data for a series of widely different alginates have been compared with those obtained by NMR.     

Cloning and sequencing of a Deleya marina gene encoding for alginate lyase

A bacterial strain N-1 was isolated as a decomposer of alginate and identified as Deleya marina. The alyA encoding for alginate lyase was cloned into Escherichia coli. The structural gene, located on a 1.9-kb SalI fragment, revealed 1,122 bp encoding a mature protein of 348 amino acids and a signal peptide of 26 amino acids. The deduced amino acid sequence of the D. marina alginate lyase showed high homology to AlgL of Pseudomonas aeruginosa with 63% identity and belonging to class 1 by hydrophobic cluster analysis.     

Probing the helical forms of Ca2+‐guluronan junction zones in alginate gels by molecular dynamics 1: Duplexes

A molecular dynamics investigation of the helical forms adopted by (1→4)‐α‐L ‐guluronan in explicit water environment was carried out. Single chains and duplexes were modeled at 300 K starting both from 2₁ or 3₂ helical conformations and in the presence of a neutralizing amount of Ca²⁺ ions. All systems were allowed full conformational freedom. The initial perfect helices with integral screw symmetries were lost at the very beginning of simulations and two distinct behaviors were observed: At equilibrium the 2₁ models mostly retained the 2₁ local helical conformations while exploring the 3₂ ones the rest of the time. In duplexes the two chains, which behaved similarly, were well extended and slightly twisted. By contrast, the chains in 3₂ duplex models were dissimilar and explored a much broader conformational space in which 2₁ and 3₂ local helical conformations were dominant and equally represented but the 3₁ and other conformations were also present. The wide variety of conformations revealed in this study is consistent with the general difficulty in obtaining crystals of Ca²⁺‐guluronate with suitable lateral dimensions for crystallographic studies. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Bacterial alginates: from biosynthesis to applications

Alginate is a polysaccharide belonging to the family of linear (unbranched), non-repeating copolymers, consisting of variable amounts of β-d-mannuronic acid and its C5-epimer α- l-guluronic acid linked via β-1,4-glycosidic bonds. Like DNA, alginate is a negatively charged polymer, imparting material properties ranging from viscous solutions to gel-like structures in the presence of divalent cations. Bacterial alginates are synthesized by only two bacterial genera, Pseudomonas and Azotobacter, and have been extensively studied over the last 40 years. While primarily synthesized in form of polymannuronic acid, alginate undergoes chemical modifications comprising acetylation and epimerization, which occurs during periplasmic transfer and before final export through the outer membrane. Alginate with its unique material properties and characteristics has been increasingly considered as biomaterial for medical applications. The genetic modification of alginate producing microorganisms could enable biotechnological production of new alginates with unique, tailor-made properties, suitable for medical and industrial applications.     

Hydrophobic cluster analysis and classification of sixteen bacterial alginate lyases

Sixteen alginate lyases whose primary sequences have been reported were compared, and classified into the following three groups on the basis of the identity of their primary sequences. Strong homology (>50%): A-AlgL, A-AlgL*, P-AlgL, P-AlgL*, and AlgA; weak homology (>20%): ALY, AlxM, P-Aly, K-Aly, AlyPG, AlgVGI, AlgVGII, and AlgVGIII; little homology (<20%): ALYII, Al-III, and AlgVMI. Using hydrophobic cluster analysis (HCA), a secondary structure prediction method, the sixteen alginate lyases were placed into the following classes. Class 1: AlgA, A-AlgL, A-AlgL*, P-AlgL, and P-AlgL*; Class 2: AlgVMI and Al-III; Class 3: ALY and AlxM; Class 4A: ALYII, K-Aly, P-Aly, and AlyPG; Class 4B: AlgVGI and AlgVGII; Class 5: AlgVGIII, which is put in a class of its own, because it is unlike any of the other alginate lyases.     

Purification and characterization of a novel alginate lyase from the marine bacterium Cobetia sp. NAP1 isolated from brown algae

The application of marine resources, instead of fossil fuels, for biomass production is important for building a sustainable society. Seaweed is valuable as a source of marine biomass for producing biofuels such as ethanol, and can be used in various fields. Alginate is an anionic polysaccharide that forms the main component of brown algae. Various alginate lyases (e.g. exo- and endo-types and oligoalginate lyase) are generally used to degrade alginate. We herein describe a novel alginate lyase, AlgC-PL7, which belongs to the polysaccharide lyase 7 family. AlgC-PL7 was isolated from the halophilic Gram-negative bacterium Cobetia sp. NAP1 collected from the brown algae Padina arborescens Holmes. The optimal temperature and pH for AlgC-PL7 activity were 45 °C and 8, respectively. Additionally, AlgC-PL7 was thermostable and salt-tolerant, exhibited broad substrate specificity, and degraded alginate into monosaccharides. Therefore, AlgC-PL7 is a promising enzyme for the production of biofuels.
