Identification and design of new cellulolytic enzymes with higher catalytic efficiency are a key factor in reducing the production cost of lignocellulosic bioalcohol. We report here identification of a novel β-glucosidase (Gluc1C) from Paenibacillus sp. strain MTCC 5639 and construction of bifunctional chimeric proteins based on Gluc1C and Endo5A, a β-1,4-endoglucanase isolated from MTCC 5639 earlier. The 448-amino-acid-long Gluc1C contained a GH superfamily 1 domain and hydrolyzed cellodextrin up to a five-sugar chain length, with highest efficiency toward cellobiose. Addition of Gluc1C improved the ability of Endo5A to release the reducing sugars from carboxymethyl cellulose. We therefore constructed six bifunctional chimeric proteins based on Endo5A and Gluc1C varying in the positions and sizes of linkers. One of the constructs, EG5, consisting of Endo5A-(G4S)3-Gluc1C, demonstrated 3.2- and 2-fold higher molar specific activities for β-glucosidase and endoglucanase, respectively, than Gluc1C and Endo5A alone. EG5 also showed 2-fold higher catalytic efficiency than individual recombinant enzymes. The thermal denaturation monitored by circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy demonstrated that the fusion of Gluc1C with Endo5A resulted in increased thermostability of both domains by 5°C and 9°C, respectively. Comparative hydrolysis experiments done on alkali-treated rice straw and CMC indicated 2-fold higher release of product by EG5 than that by the physical mixture of Endo5A and Gluc1C, providing a rationale for channeling of intermediates. Addition of EG5 to a commercial enzyme preparation significantly enhanced release of reducing sugars from pretreated biomass, indicating its commercial applicability. 相似文献

enolase localizes to several sub-cellular compartments viz. cytosol, nucleus, cell membrane, food vacuole (FV) and cytoskeleton, without having any organelle targeting signal sequences. This enzyme has been shown to undergo multiple post-translational modifications (PTMs) giving rise to several variants that show organelle specific localization. It is likely that these PTMs may be responsible for its diverse distribution and moonlighting functions. While most variants have a MW of ~50 kDa and are likely to arise due to changes in pI, food vacuole (FV) associated enolase showed three forms with MW~50, 65 and 75 kDa. Evidence from immuno-precipitation and western analysis indicates that the 65 and 75 kDa forms of FV associated enolase are ubiquitinated. Using mass spectrometry (MS), definitive evidence is obtained for the nature of PTMs in FV associated variants of enolase. Results showed several modifications, viz. ubiquitination at K147, phosphorylation at Y148 and acetylation at K142 and K384. MS data also revealed the conjugation of three ubiquitin (Ub) molecules to enolase through K147. Trimeric ubiquitin has a linear peptide linkage between the NH2-terminal methionine of the first ubiquitin (Ub1) and the C-terminal G76 of the second (Ub2). Ub2 and third ubiquitin (Ub3) were linked through an atypical isopeptide linkage between K6 of Ub2 and G76 of Ub3, respectively. Further, the tri-ubiquitinated form was found to be largely associated with hemozoin while the 50 and 65 kDa forms were present in the NP-40 soluble fraction of FV. Mass spectrometry results also showed phosphorylation of S42 in the cytosolic enolase from P. falciparum and T337 in the cytoskeleton associated enolase from

Apicomplexan parasites are causative agents of major human diseases. Calcium Dependent Protein Kinases (CDPKs) are crucial components for the intracellular development of apicomplexan parasites and are thus considered attractive drug targets. CDPK7 is an atypical member of this family, which initial characterization suggested to be critical for intracellular development of both Apicomplexa Plasmodium falciparum and Toxoplasma gondii. However, the mechanisms via which it regulates parasite replication have remained unknown. We performed quantitative phosphoproteomics of T. gondii lacking TgCDPK7 to identify its parasitic targets. Our analysis lead to the identification of several putative TgCDPK7 substrates implicated in critical processes like phospholipid (PL) synthesis and vesicular trafficking. Strikingly, phosphorylation of TgRab11a via TgCDPK7 was critical for parasite intracellular development and protein trafficking. Lipidomic analysis combined with biochemical and cellular studies confirmed that TgCDPK7 regulates phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) levels in T. gondii. These studies provide novel insights into the regulation of these processes that are critical for parasite development by TgCDPK7. 相似文献

We showed previously that Entamoeba histolytica PIG-L exhibits a novel metal-independent albeit metal-stimulated activity. Using mutational and biochemical analysis, here we identify Asp-46 and His-140 of the enzyme as being important for catalysis. We show that these mutations neither affect the global conformational of the enzyme nor alter its metal binding affinity. The defect in catalysis, due to the mutations, is specifically due to an effect on Vmax and not due to altered substrate affinity (or Km). We propose a general acid-base pair mechanism to explain our results. 相似文献
