Degradation of the low-calorie sugar substitute 5-ketofructose by different bacteria. Appl Microbiol Biotechnol 2021; 105:2441-2453. [PMID: 33616697 PMCID: PMC7954740 DOI: 10.1007/s00253-021-11168-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/24/2020] [Revised: 01/28/2021] [Accepted: 02/03/2021] [Indexed: 12/12/2022]
Abstract
Abstract There is an increasing public awareness about the danger of dietary sugars with respect to their caloric contribution to the diet and the rise of overweight throughout the world. Therefore, low-calorie sugar substitutes are of high interest to replace sugar in foods and beverages. A promising alternative to natural sugars and artificial sweeteners is the fructose derivative 5-keto-D-fructose (5-KF), which is produced by several Gluconobacter species. A prerequisite before 5-KF can be used as a sweetener is to test whether the compound is degradable by microorganisms and whether it is metabolized by the human microbiota. We identified different environmental bacteria (Tatumella morbirosei, Gluconobacter japonicus LMG 26773, Gluconobacter japonicus LMG 1281, and Clostridium pasteurianum) that were able to grow with 5-KF as a substrate. Furthermore, Gluconobacter oxydans 621H could use 5-KF as a carbon and energy source in the stationary growth phase. The enzymes involved in the utilization of 5-KF were heterologously overproduced in Escherichia coli, purified and characterized. The enzymes were referred to as 5-KF reductases and belong to three unrelated enzymatic classes with highly different amino acid sequences, activities, and structural properties. Furthermore, we could show that 15 members of the most common and abundant intestinal bacteria cannot degrade 5-KF, indicating that this sugar derivative is not a suitable growth substrate for prokaryotes in the human intestine. Key points • Some environmental bacteria are able to use 5-KF as an energy and carbon source. • Four 5-KF reductases were identified, belonging to three different protein families. • Many gut bacteria cannot degrade 5-KF.

Abstract
We report the crystal structure of old yellow enzyme (OYE) family protein Gox0502 (a.a 1-315) in free form at 3.3 Å. Detailed structural analysis revealed the key residues involved in stereospecific determination of Gox0502, such as Trp66 and Trp100. Structure-based computational analysis suggested the bulky side chains of these tryptophan residues may play important roles in product stereoselectivity. The introduction of Ile or Phe or Tyr mutation significantly reduced the product diastereoselectivity. We hypothesized that less bulky side chains at these critical residues could create additional free space to accommodate intermediates with different conformations. Notably, the introduction of Phe mutation at residue Trp100 increased catalytic activity compared to wild-type Gox0502 toward a set of substrates tested, which suggests that a less bulky Phe side chain at residue W100F may facilitate product release. Therefore, Gox0502 structure could provide useful information to generate desirable OYEs suitable for biotechnological applications in industry.

Abstract
An earlier directed evolution project using alkene reductase OYE 2.6 from Pichia stipitis yielded 13 active site variants with improved properties toward three homologous Baylis-Hillman adducts. Here, we probed the generality of these improvements by testing the wild-type and all 13 variants against a panel of 16 structurally-diverse electron-deficient alkenes. Several substrates were sterically demanding, and as hoped, creating additional active site volume yielded better conversions for these alkenes. The most impressive improvement was found for 2-butylidenecyclohexanone. The wild-type provided less than 20% conversion after 24h; a triple mutant afforded more than 60% conversion in the same time period. Moreover, even wild-type OYE 2.6 can reduce cyclohexenones with very bulky 4-substituents efficiently.

Abstract
![]()
A systematic
saturation mutagenesis campaign was carried out on
an alkene reductase from Pichia stipitis (OYE 2.6) to develop variants with reversed stereoselectivities.
Wild-type OYE 2.6 reduces three representative Baylis–Hillman
adducts to the corresponding S products with almost
complete stereoselectivities and good catalytic efficiencies. We created
and screened 13 first-generation, site-saturation mutagenesis libraries,
targeting residues found near the bound substrate. One variant (Tyr78Trp)
showed high R selectivity
toward one of the three substrates, but no change (cyclohexenone derivative)
and no catalytic activity (acrylate derivative) for the other two.
Subsequent rounds of mutagenesis retained the Tyr78Trp mutation and
explored other residues that impacted stereoselectivity when altered
in a wild-type background. These efforts yielded double and triple
mutants that possessed inverted stereoselectivities for two of the
three substrates (conversions >99% and at least 91% ee (R)). To understand the reasons underlying the stereochemical
changes,
we solved crystal structures of two key mutants: Tyr78Trp and Tyr78Trp/Ile113Cys,
the latter with substrate partially occupying the active site. By
combining these experimental data with modeling studies, we have proposed
a rationale that explains the impacts of the most useful mutations.

Abstract
Gox2253 from Gluconobacter oxydans belongs to the short-chain dehydrogenases/reductases family, and catalyzes the reduction of heptanal, octanal, nonanal, and decanal with NADPH. To develop a robust working platform to engineer novel G. oxydans oxidoreductases with designed coenzyme preference, we adopted a structure based rational design strategy using computational predictions that considers the number of hydrogen bonds formed between enzyme and docked coenzyme. We report the crystal structure of Gox2253 at 2.6 Å resolution, ternary models of Gox2253 mutants in complex with NADH/short-chain aldehydes, and propose a structural mechanism of substrate selection. Molecular dynamics simulation shows that hydrogen bonds could form between 2'-hydroxyl group in the adenosine moiety of NADH and the side chain of Gox2253 mutant after arginine at position 42 is replaced with tyrosine or lysine. Consistent with the molecular dynamics prediction, Gox2253-R42Y/K mutants can use both NADH and NADPH as a coenzyme. Hence, the strategies here could provide a practical platform to engineer coenzyme selectivity for any given oxidoreductase and could serve as an additional consideration to engineer substrate-binding pockets.

Abstract
The use of enzymes as catalysts for the preparation of novel compounds has received steadily increasing attention over the past few years. High demands are placed on the identification of new biocatalysts for organic synthesis. The catalysis of more ambitious reactions reflects the high expectations of this field of research. Enzymes play an increasingly important role as biocatalysts in the synthesis of key intermediates for the pharmaceutical and chemical industry, and new enzymatic technologies and processes have been established. Enzymes are an important part of the spectrum of catalysts available for synthetic chemistry. The advantages and applications of the most recent and attractive biocatalysts--reductases, transaminases, ammonia lyases, epoxide hydrolases, and dehalogenases--will be discussed herein and exemplified by the syntheses of interesting compounds.

Abstract
Carbon-carbon double bond of α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds can be reduced by enoate reductase (ER), which is an important reaction in fine chemical synthesis. A putative enoate reductase gene from Lactobacillus casei str. Zhang was cloned into pET-21a+ and expressed in Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3) host cells. The encoded enzyme (LacER) was purified by ammonium sulfate precipitation and treatment in an acidic buffer. This enzyme was identified as a NADH-dependent enoate reductase, which had a K(m) of 0.034 ± 0.006 mM and k(cat) of (3.2 ± 0.2) × 10³ s⁻¹ toward NADH using 2-cyclohexen-1-one as the substrate. Its K(m) and k(cat) toward substrate 2-cyclohexen-1-one were 1.94 ± 0.04 mM and (8.4 ± 0.2) × 10³ s⁻¹, respectively. The enzyme showed a maximum activity at pH 8.0-9.0. The optimum temperature of the enzyme was 50-55°C, and LacER was relatively stable below 60 °C. The enzyme was active toward aliphatic alkenyl aldehyde, ketones and some cyclic anhydrides. Substituted groups of cyclic α,β-unsaturated ketones and its ring size have positive or negative effects on activity. (R)-(-)-Carvone was reduced to (2R,5R)-dihydrocarvone with 99% conversion and 98% (diasteromeric excess: de) stereoselectivity, indicating a high synthetic potential of LacER in asymmetric synthesis.

Abstract
The characteristic ability of Gluconobacter oxydans to incompletely oxidize numerous sugars, sugar acids, polyols, and alcohols has been exploited in several biotechnological processes, for example vitamin C production. The genome sequence of G. oxydans 621H is known but molecular tools are needed for the characterization of putative proteins and for the improvement of industrial strains by heterologous and homologous gene expression. To this end, promoter regions for the genes encoding G. oxydans ribosomal proteins L35 and L13 were introduced into the broad-host-range plasmid pBBR1MCS-2 to construct two new expression vectors for gene expression in Gluconobacter spp. These vectors were named pBBR1p264 and pBBR1p452, respectively, and have many advantages over current vectors for Gluconobacter spp. The uidA gene encoding β-D-glucuronidase was inserted downstream of the promoter regions and these promoter-reporter fusions were used to assess relative promoter strength. The constructs displayed distinct promoter strengths and strong (pBBR1p264), moderate (pBBR1p452) and weak (pBBR1MCS-2 carrying the intrinsic lac promoter) promoters were identified.

Abstract
Two cytosolic NADPH-dependent carbonyl reductases from Gluconobacter oxydans 621H, Gox0644 and Gox1615, were heterologously produced in Escherichia coli. The recombinant proteins were purified to homogeneity and characterized. Gox0644 and Gox1615 were dimers with native molecular masses of 66.1 and 74.5 kDa, respectively. The enzymes displayed broad substrate specificities and reduced alpha-ketocarbonyls at the keto moiety most proximal to the terminus of the alkyl chain to produce alpha-hydroxy carbonyls, as demonstrated by NMR. With respect to stereoselectivity, protein Gox0644 specifically reduced 2,3-pentanedione to 2R-hydroxy-pentane-3-one, whereas Gox1615 produced 2S-hydroxy-pentane-3-one. Both enzymes also reduced 1-phenyl-1,2-propanedione to 2-hydroxy-1-phenylpropane-1-one, which is a key intermediate in the production of numerous pharmaceuticals, such as antifungal azoles and antidepressants. Gox0644 displayed highest activities with 2,3-diones, alpha-ketoaldehydes, alpha-keto esters, and 2,5-diketogluconate. Gox1615 was less active with these substrates, but displayed a broader substrate spectrum reducing a variety of alpha-diketones and aldehydes.
