Bg10: A Novel Metagenomics Alcohol-Tolerant and Glucose-Stimulated GH1 ß-Glucosidase Suitable for Lactose-Free Milk Preparation

چکیده
New ß-glucosidases with product (glucose) or ethanol tolerances are greatly desired to make industrial processes more marketable and efficient. Therefore, this report describes the in silico/vitro characterization of Bg10, a metagenomically derived homodimeric ß-glucosidase that exhibited a Vmax of 10.81 ± 0.43 μM min-1, Kcat of 175.1± 6.91 min-1, and Km of 0.49 ± 0.12 mM at a neutral pH and 37°C when pNP-ß-D-glucopyranoside was used as the substrate, and the enzyme retained greater than 80% activity within the respective pH and temperature ranges of 6.5 to 8.0 and 35 to 40°C. The enzyme was stimulated by its product, glucose; consequently, the Bg10 activity against 50 and 100 mM of glucose were increased by 36.8% and 22%, respectively, while half of the activity was retained at 350 mM. Moreover, the Bg10 was able to hydrolyse 55% (milk sample) and 100% (purified sugar) of the lactose at low (6°C) and optimum (37°C) temperatures, respectively, suggesting the possibility of further optimization of the reaction for lactose-free dairy production. In addition, the enzyme was able to fully hydrolyse 40 mM of cellobiose at one hour and was tolerant to ethanol up to concentrations of 500 mM (86% of activity), while a 1 M concentration still resulted in 41% residual activity, which could be interesting for biofuel production.

Structural basis for glucose tolerance in GH1 β-glucosidases.
Product inhibition of β-glucosidases (BGs) by glucose is considered to be a limiting step in enzymatic technologies for plant-biomass saccharification. Remarkably, some β-glucosidases belonging to the GH1 family exhibit unusual properties, being tolerant to, or even stimulated by, high glucose concentrations. However, the structural basis for the glucose tolerance and stimulation of BGs is stil...
متن کاملPreparation of lactose-free pasteurized milk with a recombinant thermostable β-glucosidase from Pyrococcus furiosus
BACKGROUND Lactose intolerance is a common health concern causing gastrointestinal symptoms and avoidance of dairy products by afflicted individuals. Since milk is a primary source of calcium and vitamin D, lactose intolerant individuals often obtain insufficient amounts of these nutrients which may lead to adverse health outcomes. Production of lactose-free milk can provide a solution to this ...
متن کاملEngineering the GH1 β-glucosidase from Humicola insolens: Insights on the stimulation of activity by glucose and xylose
The activity of the GH1 β-glucosidase from Humicola insolens (Bglhi) against p-nitrophenyl-β-D-glucopyranoside (pNP-Glc) and cellobiose is enhanced 2-fold by glucose and/or xylose. Kinetic and transglycosylation data showed that hydrolysis is preferred in the absence of monosaccharides. Stimulation involves allosteric interactions, increased transglycosylation and competition of the substrate a...

Although many endo-ß-1,4-glucanases have been isolated in invertebrates, their cellulolytic systems are not fully understood. In particular, gastropod feeding on seaweed is considered an excellent model system for production of bioethanol and renewable bioenergy from third-generation feedstocks (microalgae and seaweeds). In this study, enzymes involved in the conversion of cellulose and other p...
متن کاملA novel β-glucosidase from Saccharophagus degradans 2-40T for the efficient hydrolysis of laminarin from brown macroalgae
Background Laminarin is a potential biomass feedstock for the production of glucose, which is the most preferable fermentable sugar in many microorganisms by which it can be converted to biofuels and bio-based chemicals. Also, laminarin is a good resource as functional materials because it consists of β-1,3-glucosidic linkages in its backbone and β-1,6-glucosidic linkages in its branches so tha...
