Enzyme-responsive release of encapsulated proteins from biodegradable hollow capsules

Biodegradable hollow capsules encapsulating proteins were prepared via layer-by-layer assembly of chitosan and dextran sulfate on protein-entrapping mesoporous silica particles and the subsequent removal of the silica. The enzymatic degradation of the capsules in the presence of chitosanase was explored by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). With increasing time, the chitosan component was degraded by chitosanase, and the capsules began to deform and were finally destroyed. Sustained release of the encapsulated proteins was attained by using the enzymatic degradation of the hollow capsules. The release behavior was successfully manipulated by altering the charge of capsule surface.     

Chitosanase-catalyzed hydrolysis of 4-methylumbelliferyl beta-chitotrioside.

4-Methylumbelliferyl beta-chitotrioside [(GlcN)(3)-UMB] was prepared from 4-methylumbelliferyl tri-N-acetyl-beta-chitotrioside [(GlcNAc)(3)-UMB] using chitin deacetylase from Colletotrichum lindemuthianum, and hydrolyzed by chitosanase from Streptomyces sp. N174. The enzymatic deacetylation of (GlcNAc)(3)-UMB was confirmed by (1)H-NMR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry. When the (GlcN)(3)-UMB obtained was incubated with chitosanase, the fluorescence intensity at 450 nm obtained by excitation at 360 nm was found to increase with proportion to the reaction time. The rate of increase in the fluorescence intensity was proportional to the enzyme concentration. This indicates that chitosanase hydrolyzes the glycosidic linkage between a GlcN residue and UMB moiety releasing the fluorescent UMB molecule. Since (GlcN)(3) itself cannot be hydrolyzed by the chitosanase, (GlcN)(3)-UMB is considered to be a useful low molecular weight substrate for the assay of chitosanase. The k(cat) and K(m) values obtained for the substrate (GlcN)(3)-UMB were determined to be 8.1 x 10(-5) s(-1) and 201 microM, respectively. From TLC analysis of the reaction products, the chitosanase was found to hydrolyze not only the linkages between a GlcN residue and UMB moiety, but also the linkages between GlcN residues. Nevertheless, the high sensitivity of the fluorescence detection of the UMB molecule would enable a more accurate determination of kinetic constants for chitosanases.     

Recombinant expression of a chitosanase and its application in chitosan oligosaccharide production

Recently, considerable attention has been focused on chitosan oligosaccharides (COSs) due to their various biological activities. COSs can be prepared by enzymatic degradation of chitosan, which is the deacetylation product of chitin, one of the most abundant biopolymers in nature. In the current study, we recombinantly expressed a chitosanase and used it for COS preparation. A bacillus-derived GH8 family chitosanase with a 6×His tag fused at its N-terminal was expressed in the Escherichia coli strain BL21(DE3) as a soluble and active form. Its expression level could be as high as 500 mg/L. Enzymatic activity could reach approximately 140,000 U/L under our assay conditions. The recombinant chitosanase could be purified essentially to homogeneity by immobilized metal-ion affinity chromatography. The enzyme could efficiently convert chitosan into monomer-free COS: 1 g of enzyme could hydrolyze about 100 kg of chitosan. Our present work has provided a cheap chitosanase for large-scale COS production in industry.     

Purification and Characterization of Two Types of Chitosanase from a Microbacterium sp.

Two extracellular chitosanases (ChiX and ChiN) were extracted from Microbacterium sp. OU01 with Mr values of 81 kDa (ChiX) and 30 kDa (ChiN). ChiN was optimally active at pH 6.2 and 50°C and ChiX at pH 6.6 and 60°C (assayed over 15 min). Both the activities increased with the degree of deacetylation (DDA) of chitosan. ChiN hydrolyzed oligomers of glucosamine (GlcN) larger than chitopentaose, and chitosan with 62–100% DDA; but ChiX acted on chitosan and released GlcN. Hydrolysis of chitosan with 99% DDA by ChiN released chitobiose, chitotriose and chitotetraose as the major products.

Effect of bipolar membrane electrobasification on chitosanase activity during chitosan hydrolysis

Chitosanase is an enzyme that hydrolyzes chitosan, a beta-(1-4) glucosamine polymer, into size-specific oligomers that have pharmaceutical and biological properties. The aim of the present work was to use the bipolar membrane technology, in particular the OH(-) stream produced by water splitting, for inactivation of chitosanase at alkaline pH in order to terminate the enzymatic reaction producing chitosan oligomers. The objectives consisted of studying the effect of pH: (a) on the stability of chitosanase, and (b) on the catalytic activity of chitosanase during chitosan hydrolysis. The enzyme was found to be stable in the pH range of 3-8 during at least 7h, and partially lost its activity after 1h at pH 8. The catalytic activity of chitosanase during chitosan hydrolysis decreased after pH adjustment by electrobasification. The reaction rate decreased by 50% from pH 5.5 to 6, whereas the reaction was completely inhibited at pH>7. The decrease of reaction rate was due to chitosan substrate insolubilization and chitosanase denaturation at alkaline pH values.     

Effect of chitin sources on production of chitinase and chitosanase byStreptomyces griseus HUT 6037

The advantage of usingStreptomyces griseus HUT 6037 in the production of chitinase or chitosanase is that the organism is capable of hydrolyzing amorphous or crystal-line chitin and chitosan according to the type of the substrate used. We investigated the effects of the enzyme induction time and chitin sources, CM-chitosan and deacetylated chitosan (degree of deacetylation 75–99%), on production of chitosanase. We found that this strain accumulated chitosanase when cells were grown in the culture medium containing chitosanaceous substrates instead of chitinaceous substrates. The highest chitosanase activity was obtained at 4 days of cultivation with 99% deacetylated chitosan. Soluble chitosan (53% deacetylated chitosan) was found to induce chitinase as well as chitosanase. The specific activities of chitinase and chitosanase were 0.91 and 1.33 U/mg protein at 3 and 5 days, respectively. From the study of the enzymatic digestibility of various degrees of deacetylated chitosan, it was found that (GlcN)₃, (GlcN)₄ and (GlcN)₅ were produced during the enzymatic hydrolysis reaction. The results of this study suggested that the sugar composition of (GlcN)₃ was homogeneous and those of (GlcN)₄ and (GlcN)₅ were heterogeneous.     

Preparation of mycelial and yeast-like spheroplasts fromMucor rouxii by a lytic enzyme preparation fromPenicillium islandicum

Spheroplasts ofMucor rouxii were prepared from mycelial and yeast-like cells by use of aPenicillium islandicum enzymatic complex. This enzyme preparation, which presents high chitosanase and chitinase activities, was produced by growingP. islandicum either on mycelial or yeast-like walls ofM. rouxii. The presence of magnesium sulfate as an osmotic stabilizer was critical to obtain high yields of spheroplasts from mycelial forms. In the case of yeast-like cells, pretreatment with β-mercaptoethanol followed by magnesium sulfate was essential for extensive spheroplast production.     

Bacillus circulans MH-K1 chitosanase: amino acid residues responsible for substrate binding

To identify the amino acids responsible for the substrate binding of chitosanase from Bacillus circulans MH-K1 (MH-K1 chitosanase), Tyr148 and Lys218 of the chitosanase were mutated to serine and proline, respectively, and the mutated chitosanases were characterized. The enzymatic activities of Y148S and K218P were found to be 12.5% and 0.16% of the wild type, respectively. When the (GlcN)3 binding ability to the chitosanase was evaluated by fluorescence spectroscopy and thermal unfolding experiments, the binding abilities of both mutant enzymes were markedly reduced as compared with the wild type enzyme. The affinity of the enzyme for the trisaccharide decreased by 1.0 kcal/mol of binding free energy for Y148S, and 3.7 kcal/mol for K218P. The crystal structure of K218P revealed that Pro218 forms a cis-peptide bond and that the state of the flexible loop containing the 218th residue is considerably affected by the mutation. Thus, we conclude that the flexible loop containing Lys218 plays an important role in substrate binding, and that the role of Tyr148 is less critical, but still important, due to a stacking interaction or hydrogen bond.
