Cloning of LicB from Clostridium thermocellum and its efficient secretive expression of thermostable β-1,3-1,4-glucanase

β-1,3-1,4-glucanase is a widely used enzyme in brewing and in animal feed processing. To produce the bacterial enzyme at an industrial scale, the enzyme should be able to be secreted from microbial cells into fermentation broth and be stable in different conditions. In this study, the LicB gene encoding β-1,3-1,4-glucanase (lichenase) from Clostridium thermocellum was secretively expressed in a secretive strain, Bacillus subtilis WB800, with eight extracellular protease deletion which made LicB expressed obviously and reached 1.18 U/g cell mass. The secreted β-1,3-1,4-glucanase was found to be active from 40 °C to 80 °C and achieved the optimal activity at 80 °C. The enzyme also has a wide pH range (pH 4–11). The most common metal ions and chemicals were found to be inert on its activity. The property of LicB-encoded β-1,3-1,4-glucanase and its efficient secretive expression makes it a potential enzyme for industrial production and application.     

Purification, Characterization, and Heterologous Expression of a Thermostable β-1,3-1,4-Glucanase from Bacillus altitudinis YC-9

Purification, characterization, gene cloning, and heterologous expression in Escherichia coli of a thermostable β-1,3-1,4-glucanase from Bacillus altitudinis YC-9 have been investigated in this paper. The donor strain B. altitudinis YC-9 was isolated from spring silt. The native enzyme was purified by ammonium sulfate precipitation, diethylaminoethyl-cellulose anion exchange chromatography, and Sephadex G-100 gel filtration. The purified β-1,3-1,4-glucanase was observed to be stable at 60 °C and retain more than 90 % activity when incubated for 2 h at 60 °C and remain about 75 % and 44 % activity after incubating at 70 °C and 80 °C for 10 min, respectively. Acidity and temperature optimal for this enzyme was pH 6 and 65 °C. The open reading frame of the enzyme gene was measured to be 732 bp encoding 243 amino acids, with a predicted molecular weight of 27.47 kDa. The gene sequence of β-1,3-1,4-glucanase showed a homology of 98 % with that of Bacillus licheniformis. After being expressed in E. coli BL21, active recombinant enzyme was detected both in the supernatants of the culture and the cell lysate, with the activity of 102.7 and 216.7 U/mL, respectively. The supernatants of the culture were used to purify the recombinant enzyme. The purified recombinant enzyme was characterized to show almost the same properties to the wild enzyme, except that the specific activity of the recombinant enzyme reached 5392.7 U/mg, which was higher than those ever reported β-1,3-1,4-glucanase from Bacillus strains. The thermal stability and high activity make this enzyme broad prospect for industry application. This is the first report on β-1,3-1,4-glucanase produced by B. altitudinis.     

Expression and Characterization of a Novel Antifungal Exo-β-1,3-glucanase from <Emphasis Type="Italic">Chaetomium cupreum</Emphasis>

A novel β-1,3-glucanase gene, designated Ccglu17A, was cloned from the biological control fungus Chaetomium cupreum Ame. Its 1626-bp open reading frame encoded 541 amino acids. The corresponding amino acid sequence showed highest identity (67 %) with a glycoside hydrolase family 17 β-1,3-glucanase from Chaetomium globosum. The recombinant protein Ccglu17A was successfully expressed in Pichia pastoris, and the enzyme was purified to homogeneity with 10.1-fold purification and 47.8 % recovery yield. The protein’s molecular mass was approximately 65 kDa, and its maximum activity appeared at pH 5.0 and temperature 45 °C. Heavy metal ions Fe²⁺, Mn²⁺, Cu²⁺, Co²⁺, Ag⁺, and Hg²⁺ had inhibitory effects on Ccglu17A, but Ba²⁺ promoted the enzyme’s activity. Ccglu17A exhibited high substrate specificity, almost exclusively catalyzing β-1,3-glycosidic bond cleavage in various polysaccharoses to liberate glucose. The enzyme had a Km of 2.84 mg/mL and Vmax of 10.7 μmol glucose/min/mg protein for laminarin degradation under optimal conditions. Ccglu17A was an exoglucanase with transglycosylation activity based on its hydrolytic properties. It showed potential antifungal activity with a degradative effect on cell walls and inhibitory action against the germination of pathogenic fungus. In conclusion, Ccglu17A is the first functional exo-1,3-β-glucanase to be identified from C. cupreum and has potential applicability in industry and agriculture.     

Extracellular Enzymes of the White-Rot Fungus Fomes fomentarius and Purification of 1,4-β-Glucosidase

Production of the lignocellulose-degrading enzymes endo-1,4-β-glucanase, 1,4-β-glucosidase, cellobiohydrolase, endo-1,4-β-xylanase, 1,4-β-xylosidase, Mn peroxidase, and laccase was characterized in a common wood-rotting fungus Fomes fomentarius, a species able to efficiently decompose dead wood, and compared to the production in eight other fungal species. The main aim of this study was to characterize the 1,4-β-glucosidase produced by F. fomentarius that was produced in high quantities in liquid stationary culture (25.9 U?ml^?1), at least threefold compared to other saprotrophic basidiomycetes, such as Rhodocollybia butyracea, Hypholoma fasciculare, Irpex lacteus, Fomitopsis pinicola, Pleurotus ostreatus, Piptoporus betulinus, and Gymnopus sp. (between 0.7 and 7.9 U?ml^?1). The 1,4-β-glucosidase enzyme was purified to electrophoretic homogeneity by both anion-exchange and size-exclusion chromatography. A single 1,4-β-glucosidase was found to have an apparent molecular mass of 58 kDa and a pI of 6.7. The enzyme exhibited high thermotolerance with an optimum temperature of 60 °C. Maximal activity was found in the pH range of 4.5–5.0, and K _M and V _max values were 62 μM and 15.8 μmol?min^?1?l^?1, respectively, when p-nitrophenylglucoside was used as a substrate. The enzyme was competitively inhibited by glucose with a K _i of 3.37 mM. The enzyme also acted on p-nitrophenylxyloside, p-nitrophenylcellobioside, p-nitrophenylgalactoside, and p-nitrophenylmannoside with optimal pH values of 6.0, 3.5, 5.0, and 4.0–6.0, respectively. The combination of relatively low molecular mass and low K _M value make the 1,4-β-glucosidase a promising enzyme for biotechnological applications.     

Production and Characterization of β-Glucanase Secreted by the Yeast Kluyveromyces marxianus

An extracellular β-glucanase secreted by Kluyveromyces marxianus was identified for the first time. The optimal conditions for the production of this enzyme were evaluated by response surface methodology. The optimal conditions to produce β-glucanase were a glucose concentration of 4 % (w/v), a pH of 5.5, and an incubation temperature of 35 °C. Response surface methodology was also used to determine the pH and temperature required for the optimal enzymatic activity. The highest enzyme activity was obtained at a pH of 5.5 and a temperature of 55 °C. Furthermore, the enzyme was partially purified and sequenced, and its specificity for different substrates was evaluated. The results suggest that the enzyme is an endo-β-1,3(4)-glucanase. After optimizing the conditions for β-glucanase production, the culture supernatant was found to be effective in digesting the cell wall of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, showing the great potential of β-glucanase in the biotechnological production of soluble β-glucan.     

Heterologous Expression and Characterization of a Glycoside Hydrolase Family 45 endo-β-1,4-Glucanase from a Symbiotic Protist of the Lower Termite, Reticulitermes speratus

The termite symbiotic system is one of the efficient lignocellulose degradation systems. We tried to express and characterize a novel cellulolytic enzyme from this system. Here, we report the isolation of an endo-β-1,4-glucanase gene homolog of glycoside hydrolase family 45 from a symbiotic protistan community of Reticulitermes speratus. Heterologous expression of this gene was performed using the expression system of Aspergillus oryzae. Analysis of enzymatic properties revealed 786 μmol/min/mg protein in specific activity, a V _max of 833.0 units/mg protein, and a K _m value of 2.58 mg/ml with carboxymethyl cellulose as the substrate. Thin-layer chromatography analysis showed that RsSymEG2 produces cellobiose from cellodextrins larger than cellohexaose. This enzyme showed high specific activity like other endo-β-1,4-glucanases from the symbiotic system of termites. It means that the termite symbiotic system is a good resource for highly active endo-β-1,4-glucanases.     

<Emphasis Type="Italic">Penicillium purpurogenum</Emphasis> produces a highly stable endo-β-(1,4)-galactanase

The polysaccharides of galactose present in the pectin of the plant cell wall are degraded by endo-β-1,4-galactanases. The filamentous fungus Penicillium purpurogenum, which grows on a number of natural carbon sources, among them sugar beet pulp which contains pectin, has a gene (ppgal1) coding an endo-β-1,4-galactanase (PpGAL1). This enzyme was expressed heterologously in Pichia pastoris. It has a molecular mass of 38 kDa, a pH optimum of 4–4.5, and an optimal temperature of 60 °C. It is 100 % stable for up to 24 h at pH 4–4.5 and 40 °C. These stability properties, which exceed those from other endo-β-1,4-galactanases reported to date, make it particularly suitable for industrial processes requiring acidic conditions and temperatures up to 40 °C. PpGAL1 is, therefore, a potentially effective tool in the food industry and in other biotechnological applications.     

Expression and Characterization of Recombinant GH11 Xylanase from Thermotolerant Streptomyces sp. SWU10

Xylans are major hemicellulose components of plant cell wall which can be hydrolyzed by xylanolytic enzymes. Three forms of endo-β-1,4-xylanases (XynSW1, XynSW2A, and XynSW2B) produced by thermotolerant Streptomyces sp. SWU10 have been reported. In the present study, we described the expression and characterization of the fourth xylanase enzyme from this bacteria, termed XynSW3. The gene containing 726 bp was cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli. The recombinant enzyme (rXynSW3) was purified from cell-free extract to homogeneity using Ni-affinity column chromatography. The apparent molecular mass of rXynSW3 was 48 kDa. Amino acid sequence analysis revealed that it belonged to a xylanase of glycoside hydrolase family 11. The optimum pH and temperature for enzyme activity were 5.5–6.5 and 50 °C, respectively. The enzyme was stable up to 40 °C and in wide pH ranges (pH 0.6–10.3). Xylan without arabinosyl side chain is the most preferable substrate for the enzyme. By using birch wood xylan as substrate, rXynSW3 produced several oligosaccharides in the initial stage of hydrolysis, and their levels increased with time, demonstrating that the enzyme is an endo-acting enzyme. The major products were xylobiose, triose, and tetraose. The rXynSW3 can be applied in several industries such as food, textile, and biofuel industries, and waste treatment.     

Cloning and expression of two genes coding endo-β-1,4-glucanases from <Emphasis Type="Italic">Trichoderma asperellum</Emphasis> PQ34 in <Emphasis Type="Italic">Pichia pastoris</Emphasis>

Two genes coding endo-β-1,4-glucanases were cloned from Trichoderma asperellum PQ34 which was isolated from Thua Thien Hue province, Vietnam. The expression of these genes in Pichia pastoris produced two enzymes with molecular masses of approximately 46 kDa (about 42 kDa of enzymes and 4 kDa of signal peptide). The effects of induction time and temperature, inducer concentration, and culture medium on the endo-β-1,4-glucanase activity were investigated. The results showed that the highest total activities of two endo-β-1,4-glucanases were approximately 4.7 × 10^?8 kat (from Glu1-TA gene) and 7.3 × 10^?8 kat (from Glu2-TA gene) occurred after 4 days of induction using 25 mL L^?1 methanol at 30?C when the yeast cells were cultured in a YPL medium.     

Recombination System Based on Cre α Complementation and Leucine Zipper Fusions

A gene encoding β-1,3-1,4-glucanase was cloned by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) from Bacillus subtilis MA139. Sequencing result showed 97% homology to the corresponding gene from Bacillus licheniformis. The open reading frame (ORF) of the gene contained 690 bp coding for a 226 amino-acid matured protein with the estimated molecular weight of 24.44 kDa. The β-1,3-1,4-glucanase gene was subcloned into an expression vector of pET28a and expressed in Escherichia coli BL21 and then purified by metal affinity chromatography using a nickel–nitrilotriacetic acid (Ni–NTA) column. The purified β-1,3-1,4-glucanase demonstrated 24.05 and 12.52 U ml^-1 activities for the substrates of barley β-glucan and lichenan, respectively, and the specific activities were 728.79 and 379.1 U mg^-1 for them, respectively. The optimal temperature and pH of the purified enzyme were 40°C and 6.4, respectively. When barley β-glucan was used as the substrate, K _m was 5.34 mg ml^-1, and K _cat showed 7,206.71 S^-1, thus the ratio of K _cat and K _m was 1,349.67 ml s^-1 mg^-1. The activity of β-1,3-1,4-glucanase was affected by a range of metal ions or ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA).
