Non-productive cellulase adsorption onto lignin is a major inhibitory mechanism preventing enzymatic hydrolysis of lignocellulosic feedstocks. Therefore, understanding of enzyme–lignin interactions is essential for the development of enzyme mixtures and processes for lignocellulose hydrolysis. We have studied cellulase–lignin interactions using model enzymes, Melanocarpus albomyces Cel45A endoglucanase (MaCel45A) and its fusions with native and mutated carbohydrate-binding modules (CBMs) from Trichoderma reesei Cel7A. Binding of MaCel45A to lignin was dependent on pH in the presence and absence of the CBM; at high pH, less enzyme bound to isolated lignins. Potentiometric titration of the lignin preparations showed that negatively charged groups were present in the lignin samples and that negative charge in the samples was increased with increasing pH. The results suggest that electrostatic interactions contributed to non-productive enzyme adsorption: Reduced enzyme binding at high pH was presumably due to repulsive electrostatic interactions between the enzymes and lignin. The CBM increased binding of MaCel45A to the isolated lignins only at high pH. Hydrophobic interactions are probably involved in CBM binding to lignin, because the same aromatic amino acids that are essential in CBM–cellulose interaction were also shown to contribute to lignin-binding. 相似文献

Melanocarpus albomyces, a thermophilic fungus isolated from compost by enrichment culture in a liquid medium containing sugarcane bagasse, produced
cellulase-free xylanase in culture medium. The fungus was unusual in that xylanase activity was inducible not only by hemicellulosic
material but also by the monomeric pentosan unit of xylan but not by glucose. Concentration of bagasse-grown culture filtrate
protein followed by size-exclusion and anion-exchange chromatography separated four xylanase activities. Under identical conditions
of protein purification, xylanase I was absent in the xylose-grown culture filtrate. Two xylanase activities, a minor xylanase
IA and a major xylanase IIIA, were purified to apparent homogeneity from bagasse-grown cultures. Both xylanases were specific
forβ-1,4 xylose-rich polymer, optimally active, respectively, at pH 6.6 and 5.6, and at 65°C. The xylanases were stable between
pH 5 to 10 at 50°C for 24 h. Xylanases released xylobiose, xylotriose and higher oligomers from xylans from different sources.
Xylanase IA had a Mr of 38 kDa and contained 7% carbohydrate whereas xylanase IIIA had a Mr of 24 kDa and no detectable carbohydrate. The Km for larchwood xylan (mg ml−1) and Vmax (μmol xylose min−1 mg−1 protein) of xylanase IA were 0.33 and 311, and of xylanase IIIA 1.69 and 500, respectively. Xylanases IA, II and IIIA showed
no synergism in the hydrolysis of larchwood glucuronoxylan or oat spelt and sugarcane bagasse arabinoxylans. They had different
reactivity on untreated and delignified bagasse. The xylanases were more reactive than cellulase on delignified bagasse. Simultaneous
treatment of delignified bagasse by xylanase and cellulase released more sugar than individual enzyme treatments. By contrast,
the primary cell walls of a plant, particularly from the region of elongation, were more susceptible to the action of cellulase
than xylanase. The effects of xylanase and cellulase on plant cell walls were consistent with the view that hemicellulose
surrounds cellulose in plant cell walls. 相似文献

Laccases have numerous biotechnological applications, among them food processing. The widespread use of laccases has increased the demand for an inexpensive and safe source of recombinant enzyme. We explored the use of a rice-based system for the production of two fungal laccases derived from the ascomycete Melanocarpus albomyces and the basidiomycete Pycnoporus cinnabarinus. High-expression levels of active recombinant laccases were achieved by targeting expression to the endosperm of rice seeds. The laccase cDNAs were fused to a plant-derived signal sequence for targeting to the secretory pathway, and placed under the control of a constitutive seed-specific promoter fused to an intron for enhanced expression. This construct enabled the recovery of on average 0.1-1% of soluble laccase in total soluble proteins (TSP). The highest yields of recombinant laccases obtained in rice seeds were 13 and 39 ppm for riceMaL and ricePycL, respectively. The rice-produced laccases were purified and characterized. The wild-type and the recombinant proteins showed similar biochemical features in terms of molecular mass, pI, temperature and optimal pH and the N-terminus was correctly processed. Although presenting lower kinetic parameters, the rice-produced laccases were also suitable for the oxidative cross-linking of a food model substrate [maize-bran feruloylated arabinoxylans (AX)]. 相似文献

The ability of Streptomyces ipomoea laccase to polymerize secoisolariciresinol lignan and technical lignins was assessed. The reactivity of S. ipomoea laccase was also compared to that of low redox fungal laccase from Melanocarpus albomyces using low molecular mass p-coumaric, ferulic and sinapic acid as well as natural (acetosyringone) and synthetic 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine 1-oxyl (TEMPO) mediators as substrates. Oxygen consumption measurement, MALDI-TOF MS and SEC were used to follow the enzymatic reactions at pH 7, 8, 9 and 10 at 30 °C and 50 °C. Polymerization of lignins and lignan by S. ipomoea laccase under alkaline reaction conditions was observed, and was enhanced in the presence of acetosyringone almost to the level obtained with M. albomyces laccase without mediator. Reactivities of the enzymes towards acetosyringone and TEMPO were similar, suggesting exploitation of the compounds and low redox laccase in lignin valorization under alkaline conditions. The results have scientific impact on basic research of laccases. 相似文献

This paper reports regulation of cellulase production in two thermophilic fungi, Melanocarpus sp. MTCC 3922 and Scytalidium thermophilum MTCC 4520. The expression of endoglucanase (EG), avicel adsorbable endoglucanase (AAEG) and β-glucosidase in both fungi was inducible. Of the different carbon sources tested, rice straw induced maximal levels of cellulase in both fungi. While, the addition of fructose (1%, w/v) to the carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) medium resulted in two-fold increase in endoglucanase production in Melanocarpus sp., however, the addition of ethanol (1%, v/v) resulted in eight-fold-increased expression of endoglucanase in S. thermophilum. The expression profiles of different components of cellulase complex were shown to be co-regulated in S. thermophilum but independently regulated in Melanocarpus sp. 相似文献

Cellobiohydrolase from Melanocarpus albomyces (Cel7B) is a thermostable, single-module, cellulose-degrading enzyme. It has relatively low catalytic activity under normal temperatures, which allows structural studies of the binding of unmodified substrates to the native enzyme. In this study, we have determined the crystal structure of native Ma Cel7B free and in complex with three different cello-oligomers: cellobiose (Glc2), cellotriose (Glc3), and cellotetraose (Glc4), at high resolution (1.6–2.1 Å). In each case, four molecules were found in the asymmetric unit, which provided 12 different complex structures. The overall fold of the enzyme is characteristic of a glycoside hydrolase family 7 cellobiohydrolase, where the loops extending from the core β-sandwich structure form a long tunnel composed of multiple subsites for the binding of the glycosyl units of a cellulose chain. The catalytic residues at the reducing end of the tunnel are conserved, and the mechanism is expected to be retaining similarly to the other family 7 members. The oligosaccharides in different complex structures occupied different subsite sets, which partly overlapped and ranged from −5 to +2. In four cellotriose and one cellotetraose complex structures, the cello-oligosaccharide also spanned over the cleavage site (−1/+1). There were surprisingly large variations in the amino acid side chain conformations and in the positions of glycosyl units in the different cello-oligomer complexes, particularly at subsites near the catalytic site. However, in each complex structure, all glycosyl residues were in the chair (4C1) conformation. Implications in relation to the complex structures with respect to the reaction mechanism are discussed. 相似文献

The ste1 gene encoding a steryl esterase was isolated from the thermophilic fungus Melanocarpus albomyces. The gene has one intron, and it encodes a protein consisting of 576 amino acids. The deduced amino acid sequence of the steryl esterase was shown to be related to lipases and other esterases such as carboxylesterases. Formation of mature protein requires post-translational removal of a putative 18-amino-acid signal sequence and a 13-residue propeptide at the N-terminus. The intronless version of the Melanocarpus albomyces ste1 gene was expressed in Pichia pastoris under the inducible AOX1 promoter. The production level was low, and a large proportion of the total activity yield was found to be present intracellularly. However, the fact that steryl esterase activity was produced by P. pastoris cells carrying the expression cassette confirmed that the correct gene had been cloned. The ste1 gene was subsequently expressed in T. reesei under the inducible cbh1 promoter, and a clearly higher production level was obtained. About 60% of the total activity was bound to the fungal mycelium or to solid components of the culture medium, or existed as aggregates. Triton X-100 was successfully used to recover this activity. The heterologous production system in T. reesei provides a means of producing M. albomyces steryl esterase STE1 reliably in large scale for future studies. 相似文献

Melanocarpus albomyces laccase crystals were soaked with 2,6-dimethoxyphenol, a common laccase substrate. Three complex structures from different soaking times were solved. Crystal structures revealed the binding of the original substrate and adducts formed by enzymatic oxidation of the substrate. The dimeric oxidation products were identified by mass spectrometry. In the crystals, a 2,6-dimethoxy-p-benzoquinone and a C-O dimer were observed, whereas a C-C dimer was the main product identified by mass spectrometry. Crystal structures demonstrated that the substrate and/or its oxidation products were bound in the pocket formed by residues Ala191, Pro192, Glu235, Leu363, Phe371, Trp373, Phe427, Leu429, Trp507 and His508. Substrate and adducts were hydrogen-bonded to His508, one of the ligands of type 1 copper. Therefore, this surface-exposed histidine most likely has a role in electron transfer by laccases. Based on our mutagenesis studies, the carboxylic acid residue Glu235 at the bottom of the binding site pocket is also crucial in the oxidation of phenolics. Glu235 may be responsible for the abstraction of a proton from the OH group of the substrate and His508 may extract an electron. In addition, crystal structures revealed a secondary binding site formed through weak dimerization in M. albomyces laccase molecules. This binding site most likely exists only in crystals, when the Phe427 residues are packed against each other. 相似文献

Hydrophobic interaction chromatography with Phenyl Sepharose 6 Fast Flow resulted in 7-fold purification of xylanaseactivity from Melanocarpus albomyces with over 60% recovery of theactivity. The purified preparation consisted of two major isoenzymes out of seven present in the organism. Ethyleneglycol, used as the eluent, enhanced the thermal stability of the xylanase activity from a half-life of 2.2 h at 55 °C to almost 40 h. 相似文献
