Abstract
Recently, there has been an increase in the demand for enzymes with modified activity, specificity, and stability. Enzyme engineering is an important tool to meet the demand for enzymes adjusted to different industrial processes. Knowledge of the structure and function of enzymes guides the choice of the best strategy for engineering enzymes. Each enzyme engineering strategy, such as rational design, directed evolution, and semi-rational design, has specific applications, as well as limitations, which must be considered when choosing a suitable strategy. Engineered enzymes can be optimized for different industrial applications by choosing the appropriate strategy. This review features engineered enzymes that have been applied in food, animal feed, pharmaceuticals, medical applications, bioremediation, biofuels, and detergents.

Evolutionary coupling saturation mutagenesis: Coevolution-guided identification of distant sites influencing Bacillus naganoensis pullulanase activity. FEBS Lett 2019; 594:799-812. [PMID: 31665817 DOI: 10.1002/1873-3468.13652] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/15/2019] [Revised: 10/15/2019] [Accepted: 10/25/2019] [Indexed: 01/20/2023]
Abstract
Pullulanases are well-known debranching enzymes hydrolyzing α-1,6-glycosidic linkages. To date, engineering of pullulanase is mainly focused on catalytic pocket or domain tailoring based on structure/sequence information. Saturation mutagenesis-involved directed evolution is, however, limited by the low number of mutational sites compatible with combinatorial libraries of feasible size. Using Bacillus naganoensis pullulanase as a target protein, here we introduce the 'evolutionary coupling saturation mutagenesis' (ECSM) approach: residue pair covariances are calculated to identify residues for saturation mutagenesis, focusing directed evolution on residue pairs playing important roles in natural evolution. Evolutionary coupling (EC) analysis identified seven residue pairs as evolutionary mutational hotspots. Subsequent saturation mutagenesis yielded variants with enhanced catalytic activity. The functional pairs apparently represent distant sites affecting enzyme activity.
