Characterization of Pantoea dispersa UQ68J: producer of a highly efficient sucrose isomerase for isomaltulose biosynthesis

AIMS: Isolation, identification and characterization of a highly efficient isomaltulose producer. METHODS AND RESULTS: After an enrichment procedure for bacteria likely to metabolize isomaltulose in sucrose-rich environments, 578 isolates were screened for efficient isomaltulose biosynthesis using an aniline/diphenylamine assay and capillary electrophoresis. An isolate designated UQ68J was exceptionally efficient in sucrose isomerase activity. Conversion of sucrose into isomaltulose by UQ68J (enzyme activity of 90-100 U mg(-1) DW) was much faster than the current industrial strain Protaminobacter rubrum CBS574.77 (41-66 U mg(-1) DW) or a reference strain of Erwinia rhapontici (0.3-0.9 U mg(-1) DW). Maximum yield of isomaltulose at 78-80% of supplied sucrose was achieved in less than half the reaction time needed by CBS574.77, and the amount of contaminating trehalulose (4%) was the lowest recorded from an isomaltulose-producing microbe. UQ68J is a Gram negative, facultatively anaerobic, motile, noncapsulate, straight rod-shaped bacterium producing acid but no gas from glucose. Based on 16S rDNA analysis UQ68J is closest to Klebsiella oxytoca, but it differs from Klebsiella in defining characteristics and most closely resembles Pantoea dispersa in phenotype. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF STUDY: This organism is likely to have substantial advantage over previously characterized sucrose isomerase producers for the industrial production of isomaltulose.     

Purification and characterization of a highly selective sucrose isomerase from Erwinia rhapontici NX-5

A highly selective sucrose isomerase (SIase) was purified to homogeneity from the cell-free extract of Erwinia rhapontici NX-5 with a recovery of 27.7% and a fold purification of 213.6. The purified SIase showed a high specific activity of 427.1 U mg⁻¹ with molecular weight of 65.6 kDa. The K _m for sucrose was 222 mM while V _max was 546 U mg⁻¹. The optimum pH and temperature for SIase activity were 6.0 and 30 °C, respectively. The purified SIase was stable in the temperature range of 10–40 °C and retained 65% of the enzyme activity after 2 weeks’ storage at 30 °C. The SIase activity was enhanced by Mg²⁺ and Mn²⁺, inhibited by Ca²⁺, Cu²⁺, Zn²⁺, and Co²⁺, completely inhibited by Hg²⁺ and Ag²⁺. The purified SIase was strongly inhibited by SDS, while partially inhibited by dimethylformamide, tetrahydrofuran, and PMSF. Additionally, glucose and fructose acted as competitive inhibitors for purified SIase.

Insights into sucrose isomerization from crystal structures of the Pseudomonas mesoacidophila MX-45 sucrose isomerase,MutB

Three-dimensional structures of a sucrose isomerase from Pseudomonas mesoacidophila MX-45, forming mainly trehalulose have been solved to resolutions in the range 1.8–2.2 Å. Native and mutant complexes give, for the first time, a thorough insight into substrate binding and recognition, and product specificities of these enzymes. This study has pinpointed essential residues for binding the substrate sucrose, and hereby given detailed information on the interactions between the enzyme active site and glucosyl- and fructosyl moieties. Moreover, the 3-D structures revealed an aromatic clamp formed by two phenylalanines, which plays an essential role in recognition of the substrate and in controlling the reaction specificity.     

Rapid method for trehalulose production and its purification by preparative high-performance liquid chromatography

Microbial sucrose isomerases: producing organisms, genes and enzymes

Sucrose isomerase (SI) activity is used industrially for the conversion of sucrose into isomers, particularly isomaltulose or trehalulose, which have properties advantageous over sucrose for some food uses. All of the known microbial SIs are TIM barrel proteins that convert sucrose without need for any cofactors, with varying kinetics and product specificities. The current analysis was undertaken to bridge key gaps between the information in patents and scientific publications about the microbes and enzymes useful for sucrose isomer production.This analysis shows that microbial SIs can be considered in 5 structural classes with corresponding functional distinctions that broadly align with the taxonomic differences between producing organisms. The most widely used bacterial strain for industrial production of isomaltulose, widely referred to as “Protaminobacter rubrum” CBS 574.77, is identified as Serratia plymuthica. The strain producing the most structurally divergent SI, with a high product specificity for trehalulose, widely referred to as “Pseudomonas mesoacidophila” MX-45, is identified as Rhizobium sp.Each tested SI-producer is shown to have a single SI gene and enzyme, so the properties reported previously for the isolated proteins can reasonably be associated with the products of the genes subsequently cloned from the same isolates and SI classes. Some natural isolates with potent SI activity do not catabolize the isomer under usual production conditions. The results indicate that their industrial potential may be further enhanced by selection for variants that do not catabolize the sucrose substrate.     

Enhanced conversion of sucrose to isomaltulose by a mutant of Erwinia rhapontici

Mutagenesis of Erwinia rhapontici was performed to enhance the production of isomaltulose from sucrose. A mutant strain, BN 68089, was obtained through a screening process involving automated and miniaturized cultivation in Bioscreen C. This high-throughput, miniaturized screening system was optimized to identify the mutant strain, which had a conversion yield (90%) and productivity (194 g l^–1 h^–1). The BN 68089 mutant cells were immobilized in sodium alginate and when operated in a packed bed reactor gave a yield of 89% and a productivity of 144 g l^–1 h^–1 of at 30 °C, the optimal temperature. Immobilized BN 68089 cells exhibited 8% and 15% higher yield and productivity, respectively, than those of the wild-type strain.     

Molecular cloning and functional characterization of a sucrose isomerase (isomaltulose synthase) gene from Enterobacter sp. FMB-1

Aims:  Isomaltulose (palatinose) is a slowly digestible sucrose isomer that can reduce both the glycemic and insulinemic response to foods. The aim of this study was to clone and express a sucrose isomerase (SIase) gene and characterize the protein that is responsible for the production of isomaltulose in the micro-organism Enterobacter sp. FMB-1.
Methods and Results:  A cosmid clone containing c. 6 kbp region encoding an SIase gene was identified. The 5969-bp chromosomal DNA fragment covering the SIase ( esi ) gene in Enterobacter sp. FMB-1 was sequenced. Although this DNA fragment contained several open reading frames other than esi , only the presence of esi was sufficient to produce isomaltulose in recombinant Escherichia coli . The esi gene was expressed in E. coli , leading to the characterization of its SIase activity.
Conclusions:  The Enterobacter sp. FMB-1 esi gene was successfully cloned and expressed in E. coli . This gene encoded a functional SIase that produced isomaltulose from sucrose.
Significance and Impact of the Study:  This is the first molecular analysis of an SIase gene in an Enterobacter strain. The functional expression of the Enterobacter sp. FMB-1 esi gene in E. coli offers an alternative choice for the industrial production of isomaltulose.
