Biochemical characterization of mutants in the active site residues of the β-galactosidase enzyme of Bacillus circulans ATCC 31382

چکیده
The Bacillus circulans ATCC 31382 β-galactosidase (BgaD) is a retaining-type glycosidase of glycoside hydrolase family 2 (GH2). Its commercial enzyme preparation, Biolacta N5, is used for commercial-scale production of galacto-oligosaccharides (GOS). The BgaD active site and catalytic amino acid residues have not been studied. Using bioinformatic routines we identified two putative catalytic glutamates and two highly conserved active site histidines. The site-directed mutants E447N, E532Q, and H345F, H379F had lost (almost) all catalytic activity. This confirmed their essential role in catalysis, as general acid/base catalyst (E447) and nucleophile (E532), and as transition state stabilizers (H345, H379), respectively.

Microbial β-galactosidase enzymes are widely used as biocatalysts in industry to produce prebiotic galactooligosaccharides (GOS) from lactose. GOS mixtures are used as beneficial additives in infant formula to mimic the prebiotic effects of human milk oligosaccharides (hMOS). The structural variety in GOS mixtures is significantly lower than in hMOS. Since this structural complexity is consider...

Background: Enzymatic hydrolysis of lactose is one of the most important biotechnological processes in the food industry, which is accomplished by enzyme β-galactosidase (β-gal, β-D-galactoside galactohydrolase, EC 3.2.1.23), trivial called lactase. Orthogonal arrays design is an appropriate option for the optimization of biotechnological processes for the production of microbial...
متن کاملCharacterization of the Immobilized β-Galactosidase C from Bacillus circulans and the Production of β(1→3)-linked Disaccharides.
A recombinant β-galactosidase, which was obtained from the β-galactosidase C gene of Bacillus circulans and cleaves the non-reducing end galactosyl residue of β(1→3)-linkages selectively, was immobilized using CNBr-Sepharose. Although the effect of pH was not changed by the immobilization, the thermostability and stability in the presence of DMF were increased. Optimization of the transglycosyl...
