Abstract
Understanding the substrate specificity of carrageenases has long been of interest in biotechnology applications. So far, the structural basis of the βκ-carrageenase that hydrolyzes furcellaran, a major hybrid carrageenan, remains unclear. Here, the crystal structure of Cgbk16A_Wf, as a representative of the βκ-carrageenase from GH16_13, was determined, and the structural characteristics of this subfamily were elucidated for the first time. The substrate binding mode was clarified through a structure analysis of the hexasaccharide-bound complex and molecular docking. The binding pocket involves a conserved catalytic motif and several specific residues associated with substrate recognition. Functions of residues R88, E290, and E184 were validated through site-directed mutagenesis. Comparing βκ-carrageenase with κ-carrageenase, we proposed that their different substrate specificities are partly due to the distinct conformations of subsite -1. This research offers a comprehensive understanding of the recognition mechanism of carrageenases and provides valuable theoretical support for enzyme modification and carrageenan oligosaccharide preparation.

Gels 2024; 10:502. [PMID: 39195031 DOI: 10.3390/gels10080502] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/05/2024] [Revised: 07/23/2024] [Accepted: 07/26/2024] [Indexed: 08/29/2024] Open
Abstract
Carrageenans were widely utilized as thickening and gelling agents in the food and cosmetic industries, and their oligosaccharides have been proven to possess enhanced physicochemical and biological properties. In this study, Shewanella sp. LE8 was utilized for the depolymerization of κ-, ι-, and λ-carrageenan under conditions of fermentation. During a 24-h fermentation at 28 °C, the apparent viscosity of κ-, ι-, and λ-carrageenan decreased by 53.12%, 84.10%, and 59.33%, respectively, accompanied by a decrease in storage modulus, and loss modulus. After a 72-h fermentation, the analysis of methylene blue and molecular weight distribution revealed that ι-carrageenan was extensively depolymerized into smaller polysaccharides by Shewanella sp. LE8, while exhibiting partial degradation on κ- and λ-carrageenan. However, the impact of Shewanella sp. LE8 on total sugars was found to be limited; nevertheless, a significant increase in reduced sugar content was observed. The ESIMS analysis results revealed that the purified components obtained through ι-carrageenan fermentation for 72 h were identified as tetrasaccharides, while the two purified components derived from λ-carrageenan fermentation consisted of a hexasaccharide and a tetrasaccharide, respectively. Overall, the present study first reported the depolymerization of ι-and λ-carrageenan by Shewanella and suggested that the Shewanella could be used to depolymerize multiple carrageenans, as well as complex polysaccharides derived from red algae, to further obtain their oligosaccharides.

[PMID: 38928863 PMCID: PMC11202985 DOI: 10.3390/foods13121923] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/26/2024] [Revised: 06/12/2024] [Accepted: 06/14/2024] [Indexed: 06/28/2024] Open
Abstract
λ-carrageenan oligosaccharides can be widely applied in the food, pharmaceutical, medicine and cosmetic industries due to their abundant bioactivities, and they are important products for the high-value utilization of λ-carrageenan. However, oligosaccharides with different degrees of polymerization have different properties, and the final products of λ-carrageenase reported so far are mainly λ-neocarrabiose, λ-neocarratetraose and λ-neocarrahexaose without longer-chain oligosaccharides. Further research is consequently required. Herein, a mutant λ-carrageenase was constructed by deleting the pyrroloquinoline quinone-like domain of OUC-CglA derived from Maribacter vaceletii. Interestingly, it was discovered that the majority of final products of the mutant OUC-CglA-DPQQ were long-chain oligosaccharides with a polymerization degree of 10-20, which underwent significant changes compared to that of OUC-CglA. Additionally, without the pyrroloquinoline quinone-like domain, fewer inclusion bodies were produced throughout the expression process, and the yield of the λ-carrageenase increased about five-fold. However, compared to its parental enzyme, significant changes were made to its enzymatic properties. Its optimal temperature and pH were 15 °C and pH 7.0, and its specific activity was 51.59 U/mg. The stability of the enzyme decreased. Thus, it was found that the deleting domain was related to the formation of inclusion bodies, the stability of the enzyme, the activity of the enzyme and the composition of the products.

Abstract
Semiconducting nanoparticles (SNPs) have garnered significant attention for their role in photocatalysis technology, offering a cost-effective and highly efficient method for breaking down organic dyes. Of particular significance within SNP-based photocatalysis are tunable band gap TiO2 nanoparticles (NPs), which demonstrate remarkable enhancement in photocatalytic efficiency. In the present work, we introduce an approach for the synthesis of TiO2 NPs using kappa-carrageenan (κ-carrageenan), not just as a reducing and stabilizing agent but as a dopant for the resulting TiO2 NPs. During the synthesis of TiO2 NPs in the presence of sulfate-rich carrageenan, the process predominantly leaves residual sulfur and carbon. The presence of residual carbon, in conjunction with sulfur doping, as indicated by fast FTIR spectra, XPS, and EDX, leads to a significant reduction in the band gap of the resulting composite to 2.71 eV. The reduction of composite band gap yields remarkable degradation of methylene blue (99.97%) and methyl orange (97.84%). This work presents an eco-friendly and highly effective solution for the swift removal of environmentally harmful organic dyes.

Abstract
Carrageenans are linear sulfated galactans synthesized in the Gigartinales, Rhodophyceae species with a varied range of biological properties that are of value to the pharmaceutical and cosmetic sectors. It is unknown how the fine structure of carrageenans dictates their capacity to affect molecular and cellular responses important to wound healing, or the ability to mitigate oxidative, hemostatic and inflammatory processes. Here we use specific endo-carrageenases, from the marine bacterium Zobellia galactanivorans, to produce enzymatically defined neo-series oligosaccharides from carrageenans with 3,6-anhydro-D-galactose on the non-reducing end. Further enzymatic modification of the oligosaccharides was done by treating with the 3,6-anhydro-D-galactosidases from the same bacterium which hydrolyze non-reducing end 3,6-anhydro-D-galactose moieties from neo-carrageenan oligosaccharides. Using the enzymatically produced oligosaccharides, we demonstrate binding to natural human serum antibodies and a monoclonal anti-αGal Ab (m86). The significant interactions with the Galα(1,3)Gal reactive antibodies produced by humans makes them potential potent inducers of complement-dependent reactions and attractive for therapeutic applications. We also demonstrate modulation of the galectin selectivity for the Gal-3 Carbohydrate Recognition Domain (CRD) relative to Gal-1 which has implications to targeting specific biological pathways regulated by the galectins.

Abstract
Fucoidanases (EC 3.2.1.-) catalyze the hydrolysis of glycosidic bonds between fucose residues in fucoidans. Fucoidans are a compositionally and structurally diverse class of fucose-containing sulfated polysaccharides that are primarily found in brown seaweeds. Here, the structural characterization of a novel endo-α(1,4)-fucoidanase, Mef1, from the marine bacterium Muricauda eckloniae is presented, showing sequence similarity to members of glycoside hydrolase family 107. Using carbohydrate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and nuclear magnetic resonance analyses, it is shown that the fucoidanase Mef1 catalyzes the cleavage of α(1,4)-linkages between fucose residues sulfated on C2 in the structure [-3)-α-L-Fucp2S-(1,4)-α-L-Fucp2S-(1-]n in fucoidan from Fucus evanescens. Kinetic analysis of Mef1 activity by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy revealed that the specific Mef1 fucoidanase activity (Uf) on F. evanescens fucoidan was 0.1 × 10-3 Uf µM-1. By crystal structure determination of Mef1 at 1.8 Å resolution, a single-domain organization comprising a (β/α)8-barrel domain was determined. The active site was in an extended, positively charged groove that is likely to be designed to accommodate the binding of the negatively charged, sulfated fucoidan substrate. The active site of Mef1 comprises the amino acids His270 and Asp187, providing acid/base and nucleophile groups, respectively, for the hydrolysis of glycosidic bonds in the fucoidan backbone. Electron densities were identified for two possible Ca2+ ions in the enzyme, one of which is partially exposed to the active-site groove, while the other is very tightly coordinated. A water wire was discovered leading from the exterior of the Mef1 enzyme into the active site, passing the tightly coordinated Ca2+ site.

Abstract
Sulfur is a vital element that all living things require, being a component of proteins and other bio-organic substances. The various kinds and varieties of microbes in nature allow for the transformation of this element. It also should be emphasized that volatile sulfur compounds are typically present in food in trace amounts. Life cannot exist without sulfur, yet it also poses a potential health risk. The colon's sulfur metabolism, which is managed by eukaryotic cells, is much better understood than the S metabolism in gastrointestinal bacteria. Numerous additional microbial processes are anticipated to have an impact on the content and availability of sulfated compounds, as well as intestinal S metabolism. Hydrogen sulfide is the sulfur derivative that has attracted the most attention in relation to colonic health, but it is still unclear whether it is beneficial or harmful. Several lines of evidence suggest that sulfate-reducing bacteria or exogenous hydrogen sulfide may be the root cause of intestinal ailments, including inflammatory bowel diseases and colon cancer. Taurine serves a variety of biological and physiological purposes, including roles in inflammation and protection, additionally, low levels of taurine can be found in bodily fluids, and taurine is the primary sulfur component present in muscle tissue (serum and urine). The aim of this scoping review was to compile data from the most pertinent scientific works about S compounds' existence in food and their metabolic processes. The importance of S compounds in various food products and how these compounds can impact metabolic processes are both stressed in this paper.

Genomic potential for exopolysaccharide production and differential polysaccharide degradation in closely related Alteromonas sp. PRIM-21 and Alteromonas fortis 1 T.

Abstract
Members of the genus Alteromonas are widely distributed in diverse marine environments and are often associated with marine organisms. Their ability to produce exopolysaccharides (EPS) and depolymerize sulfated algal polysaccharides has provided industrial importance to some species. Here, we describe the draft genome of an algae-associated strain namely, Alteromonas sp. PRIM-21 isolated from the southwest coast of India to understand the EPS biosynthetic pathways as well as polysaccharide depolymerization system in comparison to the closely related strain Alteromonas fortis 1T that shares 99.8% 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity. Whole-genome shotgun sequencing of Alteromonas sp. PRIM-21 yielded 50 contigs with a total length of 4,638,422 bp having 43.86% GC content. The resultant genome shared 95.9% OrthoANI value with A. fortis 1 T, and contained 4125 predicted protein-coding genes, 71 tRNA and 10 rRNA genes. Genes involved in Wzx/Wzy-, ABC transporter- and synthase-dependent pathways for EPS production and secretion were common in both Alteromonas sp. PRIM-21 and A. fortis 1T. However, the distribution of carbohydrate-active enzymes (CAZymes) was heterogeneous. The strain PRIM-21 harbored polysaccharide lyases for the degradation of alginate, ulvan, arabinogalactan and chondroitin. This was further validated from the culture-based assays using seven different polysaccharides. The depolymerizing ability of the bacteria may be useful in deriving nutrients from the biopolymers produced in the algal host while the EPS biosynthesis may provide additional advantages for life in the stressful marine environment. The results also highlight the genetic heterogeneity in terms of polysaccharide utilization among the closely related Alteromonas strains.

Abstract
Approximately 30% or more of the total proteins annotated from sequenced bacteria genomes are annotated as hypothetical or uncharacterized proteins. However, elucidation on the function of these proteins is hindered by the lack of simple and rapid screening methods, particularly with novel or hard-to-transform bacteria. In this report, we employed cell-penetrating peptide (CPP) -peptide nucleotide acid (PNA) conjugates to elucidate the function of such uncharacterized proteins in vivo within the native bacterium. Paenibacillus, a hard-to-transform bacterial genus, was used as a model. Two hypothetical genes showing amino acid sequence similarity to ι-carrageenases, termed cgiA and cgiB, were identified from the draft genome of Paenibacillus sp. strain YYML68, and CPP-PNA probes targeting the mRNA of the acyl carrier protein gene, acpP, and the two ι-carrageenase candidate genes were synthesized. Upon direct incubation of CPP-PNA targeting the mRNA of the acpP gene, we successfully observed growth inhibition of strain YYML68 in a concentration-dependent manner. Similarly, both the function of the candidate ι-carrageenases were also inhibited using our CPP-PNA probes allowing for the confirmation and characterization of these hypothetical proteins. In summary, we believe that CPP-PNA conjugates can serve as a simple and efficient alternative approach to characterize proteins in the native bacterium.

Abstract
λ-Carrageenase with high activity is an effective and environmentally friendly tool enzyme for the preparation of λ-carrageenan oligosaccharides with various biological activities. Herein, a novel GH150 (glycoside hydrolases family 150) λ-carrageenase OUC-CglA from Maribacter vaceletii was heterologously expressed, purified, and characterized. The recombinant OUC-CglA performs strict selectivity toward λ-carrageenan with a specific activity of 418.7 U/mg under its optimal reaction conditions of 20 °C and pH 7.0. Additionally, OUC-CglA is a typical cold-adapted λ-carrageenase because it unfolds 90% and 63% of its maximum activity at 15 and 10 °C, respectively. The hydrolysis process suggests that OUC-CglA is an endotype λ-carrageenase with the final products consisting of λ-neocarrabiose, λ-neocarratetraose, λ-neocarrahexaose, and other long-chain λ-neocarrageenan oligosaccharides. As a result, high activity, cold-adaptation, and principal products of OUC-CglA make it a potential biocatalyst for the effective preparation of λ-carrageenan oligosaccharides.

Abstract
Marine group II euryarchaea (MGII) dominates the planktonic archaeal community in global surface seawater and is associated to particulate organic matters mainly composed of polysaccharides. However, the polysaccharides metabolism of MGII euryarchaea is unclear. In this study, the distribution and polysaccharides metabolism potential of MGII euryarchaea in the estuary were investigated. High-throughput sequencing of 16S rRNA genes showed that MGII euryarchaea was the predominant archaeal group in the Pearl River Estuary (PRE), and the relative abundance of MGII euryarchaea in particle-attached fraction was higher than that in free-living fractions. A total of 19 metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs) were successfully reconstructed from metagenomic data, of which 10 MAGs were grouped as MGII euryarchaea according to phylogenomic analysis. Genes encoding a variety of carbohydrate-active enzymes (CAZymes) were found in MAGs/genomes of MGII euryarchaea. These CAZymes annotated in MAGs were capable of hydrolyzing many polysaccharides, including α-glucans, β-glucans, xylans, nitrogen-containing polysaccharides, and some insoluble galactans. The results also indicated that MGII euryarchaea has some unique enzymes that can hydrolyze starch, β-1,3-glucans, complex xylans, carrageenan, and agarose. Collectively, our results demonstrated that MGII euryarchaea has great polysaccharides hydrolysis potential and could play an important role in the carbon cycle of marine ecosystem.

Abstract
A carrageenase gene, car1383, was obtained from the metagenome of Antarctic macroalgae-associated bacteria. The amino acid sequence of its product showed up to 33% similarity with other carrageenases and contained a GH16-family motif. The recombinant Car1383 was heterologously expressed in Eschericia coli and exhibited maximal activity at 50°C and pH 6.0, with a Km of 6.51 mg/ml and a Vmax of 55.77 U/mg. Its activity was enhanced by some cations (Na+, K+, and Fe2+), but inhibited or inactivated by others (Sr2+, Ca2+, Ni2+, Ba2+, Mn2+, Cu2+, Fe3+, and Mg2+). Car1383 degraded carrageenan into neocarrabiose and neocarratetraose. Site-directed mutagenesis indicated that putative active sites, E190 and E195, conserved sites, W183 and G255, play important roles in Car1383 activity. This study provides a new candidate for the industrial preparation of bioactive algal oligosaccharides.

Abstract
Pectin is a major constituent of the plant cell wall, comprising compounds with important industrial applications such as homogalacturonan, rhamnogalacturonan and xylogalacturonan. A large array of enzymes is involved in the degradation of this amorphous substrate. The Glycoside Hydrolase 28 (GH28) family includes polygalacturonases (PG), rhamnogalacturonases (RG) and xylogalacturonases (XG) that share a structure of three to four pleated β-sheets that form a rod with the catalytic site amidst a long, narrow groove. Although these enzymes have been studied for many years, there has been no systematic analysis. We have collected a comprehensive set of GH28 encoding sequences to study their evolution in fungi, directed at obtaining a functional classification, as well as at the identification of substrate specificity as functional constraint. Computational tools such as Alphafold, Consurf and MEME were used to identify the subfamilies’ characteristics. A hierarchic classification defines the major classes of endoPG, endoRG and endoXG as well as three exoPG classes. Ascomycete endoPGs are further classified in two subclasses whereas we identify four exoRG subclasses. Diversification towards exomode is explained by loops that appear inserted in a number of turns. Substrate-driven diversification can be identified by various specificity determining positions that appear to surround the binding groove.

Abstract
Global requirement for algal foods is increasing, as they are progressively consumed for its nutrition and health. Macroalgae is a proven source of metabolites, proteins, pigments, bioactive compounds, and algal polysaccharides. The unique polysaccharides such as agar, carrageenan, porphyran, alginate, fucoidan, laminarin, and ulvan are known for its wide range of bioactivities and extensively used for applications from tissue engineering to drug delivery. However, there are few limitations due to its high molecular size, low compatibility, and hydrocolloid nature. Hence, the enzymatically produced algal oligosaccharides have drawn tremendous attention due to its green synthesis, solubility, and lower molecular size. They are reported to have bioactivities including antioxidant, antiglycemic, immunostimulatory, anti-inflammatory, and prebiotic activities, which can be used in the healthcare and nutraceutical industry for the manufacture of functional foods and dietary supplements. However, identification of potential microorganisms, producing polysaccharide hydrolyzing enzymes, remains a major bottle neck for efficient utilization of bioactive algal oligosaccharides. This review summarizes the recent developments in the identification and characterization of microbial enzymes for the production of bioactive algal oligosaccharides. This can improve our understanding of bioactive algal oligosaccharides and pave way for efficient utilization of macroalgae to prevent various chronic diseases.

Abstract
Seaweed oligosaccharides possess great bioactivities. However, different microbial strains are required to degrade multiple polysaccharides due to their limited biodegradability, thereby increasing the cost and complexity of production. Shewanella sp. WPAGA9 was isolated from deep-sea sediments in this study. According to the genomic and biochemical analyses, the extracellular fermentation broth of WPAGA9 had versatile degradation abilities for three typical seaweed polysaccharides including agar, carrageenan, and alginate. The maximum enzyme activities of the extracellular fermentation broth of WPAGA9 were 71.63, 76.4, and 735.13 U/ml for the degradation of agar, alginate, and carrageenan, respectively. Moreover, multiple seaweed oligosaccharides can be produced by the extracellular fermentation broth of WPAGA9 under similar optimum conditions. Therefore, WPAGA9 can simultaneously degrade three types of seaweed polysaccharides under similar conditions, thereby greatly reducing the production cost of seaweed oligosaccharides. This finding indicates that Shewanella sp. WPAGA9 is an ideal biochemical tool for producing multiple active seaweed oligosaccharides at low costs and is also an important participant in the carbon cycle process of the deep-sea environment.

Abstract
The complete genome of Polaribacter sp. NJDZ03, which was isolated from the surface of Antarctic macroalgae, was analyzed by next-generation sequencing, and a putative carrageenase gene Car3206 was obtained. Car3206 was cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli BL21(DE3). After purification by Ni-NTA chromatography, the recombinant Car3206 protein was characterized and the antioxidant activity of the degraded product was investigated. The results showed that the recombinant plasmid pet-30a-car3206 was highly efficiently expressed in E. coli BL21(DE3). The purified recombinant Car3206 showed a single band on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, with an apparent molecular weight of 45 kDa. The optimum temperature of the recombinant Car3206 was 55°C, and it maintain 60-94% of its initial activity for 4-12 h at 55°C. It also kept almost 70% of the initial activity at 30°C, and more than 40% of the initial activity at 10°C. These results show that recombinant Car3206 had good low temperature resistance and thermal stability properties. The optimum pH of recombinant Car3206 was 7.0. Car3206 was activated by Na+, K+, and Ca2+, but was significantly inhibited by Cu2+ and Cr2+. Thin-layer chromatographic analysis indicated that Car3206 degraded carrageenan generating disaccharides as the only products. The antioxidant capacity of the degraded disaccharides in vitro was investigated and the results showed that different concentrations of the disaccharides had similar scavenging effects as vitamin C on O 2 • - , •OH, and DPPH•. To our knowledge, this is the first report about details of the biochemical characteristics of a carrageenase isolated from an Antarctic Polaribacter strain. The unique characteristics of Car3206, including its low temperature resistance, thermal stability, and product unity, suggest that this enzyme may be an interesting candidate for industrial processes.

Abstract
Marine-polysaccharide degrading enzymes have recently been studied extensively. They are particularly interesting as they catalyze the cleavage of glycosidic bonds in polysaccharide macromolecules and produce oligosaccharides with low degrees of polymerization. Numerous findings have demonstrated that marine polysaccharides and their biotransformed products possess beneficial properties including antitumor, antiviral, anticoagulant, and anti-inflammatory activities, and they have great value in healthcare, cosmetics, the food industry, and agriculture. Exploitation of enzymes that can degrade marine polysaccharides is in the ascendant, and is important for high-value use of marine biomass resources. In this review, we describe research and prospects regarding the classification, biochemical properties, and catalytic mechanisms of the main types of marine-polysaccharide degrading enzymes, focusing on chitinase, chitosanase, alginate lyase, agarase, and carrageenase, and their product oligosaccharides. The state-of-the-art discussion of marine-polysaccharide degrading enzymes and their properties offers information that might enable more efficient production of marine oligosaccharides. We also highlight current problems in the field of marine-polysaccharide degrading enzymes and trends in their development. Understanding the properties, catalytic mechanisms, and modification of known enzymes will aid the identification of novel enzymes to degrade marine polysaccharides and facilitation of their use in various biotechnological processes.

Abstract
Pseudoalteromonas is a globally distributed marine-associated genus that can be found in a broad range of aquatic environments, including in association with macroalgal surfaces where they may take advantage of these rich sources of polysaccharides. The metabolic systems that confer the ability to metabolize this abundant form of photosynthetically fixed carbon, however, are not yet fully understood. Through genomics, transcriptomics, microbiology, and specific structure-function studies of pathway components we address the capacity of newly isolated marine pseudoalteromonads to metabolize the red algal galactan carrageenan. The results reveal that the κ/ι-carrageenan specific polysaccharide utilization locus (CarPUL) enables isolates possessing this locus the ability to grow on this substrate. Biochemical and structural analysis of the enzymatic components of the CarPUL promoted the development of a detailed model of the κ/ι-carrageenan metabolic pathway deployed by pseudoalteromonads, thus furthering our understanding of how these microbes have adapted to a unique environmental niche.

Abstract
A potentiometric whole cell biosensor based on immobilized marine bacterium, Pseudomonas carrageenovora producing κ-carrageenase and glycosulfatase enzymes for specific and direct determination of κ-carrageenan, is described. The bacterial cells were immobilized on the self-plasticized hydrogen ion (H+)-selective acrylic membrane electrode surface to form a catalytic layer. Hydrogen ionophore I was incorporated in the poly(n-butyl acrylate) [poly(nBA)] as a pH ionophore. Catalytic decomposition of κ-carrageenan by the bienzymatic cascade reaction produced neoagarobiose, an inorganic sulfate ion and a proton. The latter was detectable by H+ ion transducer for indirect potentiometric quantification of κ-carrageenan concentration. The use of a disposable screen-printed Ag/AgCl electrode (SPE) provided no cleaning requirement and enabled κ-carrageenan detection to be carried out conveniently without cross contamination in a complex food sample. The SPE-based microbial biosensor response was found to be reproducible with high reproducibility and relative standard deviation (RSD) at 2.6% (n = 3). The whole cell biosensor demonstrated a broad dynamic linear response range to κ-carrageenan from 0.2-100 ppm in 20 mM phosphate buffer saline (PBS) at pH 7.5 with a detection limit at 0.05 ppm and a Nernstian sensitivity of 58.78±0.87 mV/decade (R2 = 0.995). The biosensor showed excellent selectivity towards κ-carrageenan compared to other types of carrageenans tested e.g. ι-carrageenan and λ-carrageenan. No pretreatment to the food sample was necessary when the developed whole cell biosensor was employed for direct assay of κ-carrageenan in dairy product.

Abstract
Sulfatases play a biologically important role by cleaving sulfate groups from molecules. They can be identified on the basis of signature sequences within their primary structures, and the largest family, S1, has predictable features that contribute specifically to the recognition and catalytic removal of sulfate groups. However, despite advances in the prediction and understanding of S1 sulfatases, a major question regards the molecular determinants that drive substrate recognition beyond the targeted sulfate group. Here, through analysis of an endo-4S-ι-carrageenan sulfatase (PsS1_19A) from Pseudoalteromonas sp. PS47, particularly X-ray crystal structures in complex with intact substrates, we show that specific recognition of the substrate leaving group components, in this case carbohydrate, provides the enzyme with specificity for its substrate. On the basis of these results we propose a catalytic subsite nomenclature that we anticipate will form a general foundation for understanding and describing the molecular basis of substrate recognition by sulfatases.

Abstract
Macroalgae contribute substantially to primary production in coastal ecosystems. Their biomass, mainly consisting of polysaccharides, is cycled into the environment by marine heterotrophic bacteria using largely uncharacterized mechanisms. Here we describe the complete catabolic pathway for carrageenans, major cell wall polysaccharides of red macroalgae, in the marine heterotrophic bacterium Zobellia galactanivorans. Carrageenan catabolism relies on a multifaceted carrageenan-induced regulon, including a non-canonical polysaccharide utilization locus (PUL) and genes distal to the PUL, including a susCD-like pair. The carrageenan utilization system is well conserved in marine Bacteroidetes but modified in other phyla of marine heterotrophic bacteria. The core system is completed by additional functions that might be assumed by non-orthologous genes in different species. This complex genetic structure may be the result of multiple evolutionary events including gene duplications and horizontal gene transfers. These results allow for an extension on the definition of bacterial PUL-mediated polysaccharide digestion. Carrageenans, major cell wall polysaccharides of red macroalgae, are metabolised by marine heterotrophic bacteria through unclear mechanisms. Here, the authors identify an unusual polysaccharide-utilization locus encoding carrageenan catabolism in a marine bacterium, and characterise the complete pathway.

Abstract
ι-Carrageenases play a role in marine ι-carrageenan degradation, and their enzymatic hydrolysates are thought to be excellent antioxidants. In this study, we identified a new ι-carrageenase, encoded by cgiF, in psychrophilic bacterium Flavobacterium sp. YS-80-122. The deduced ι-carrageenase, CgiF, belongs to glycoside hydrolase family 82 and shows less than 40% amino acid identity with characterized ι-carrageenases. The activity of recombinant CgiF peaked at 30°C (1,207.8U/mg). Notably, CgiF is a cold-adapted ι-carrageenase, which showed 36.5% and 57% of the maximum activity at 10°C and 15°C, respectively. In addition, it is a thermo-tolerant enzyme that recovered 58.2% of its initial activity after heat shock. Furthermore, although the activity of CgiF was enhanced by NaCl, the enzyme is active in absence of NaCl. This study also shows that CgiF is an endo-type ι-carrageenase that hydrolyzes β-1,4-linkages of ι-carrageenan, yielding neo-ι-carratetraose as the main product. Its cold-adaptation, thermo-tolerance, NaCl independence and high neo-ι-carratetraose yield make CgiF an excellent candidate for industrial applications in production of ι-carrageen oligosaccharides from seaweed polysaccharides.

Abstract
Carrageenan, one of the phycocolloids is a sulfated galactan made up of linear chains of galactose and 3,6-anhydrogalactose with alternating α-(1 → 3) and β-(1 → 4) linkages and further classified based on the number and the position of sulfated ester(s); κ-, ι- and λ-carrageenan. Enzymes which degrade carrageenans are called k-, ι-, and λ-carrageenases. They all are endohydrolases that cleave the internal β-(1-4) linkages of carrageenans yielding products of the oligo-carrageenans. These enzymes are produced only by bacteria specifically gram negative bacteria. Majority of the marine bacteria produce these enzymes extracellularly and their activity is in wide range of temperature. They have found potential applications in biomedical field, bioethanol production, textile industry, as a detergent additive and for isolation of protoplast of algae etc. A comprehensive information shall be helpful for the effective understanding and application of these enzymes. In this review exhaustive information of bacterial carrageenases reported till date has been done. All the aspects like sources, production conditions, characterization, cloning and- biotechnological applications are summarized.

Abstract
Alga-associated microorganisms, in the context of their numerous interactions with the host and the complexity of the marine environment, are known to produce diverse hydrolytic enzymes with original biochemistry. We recently isolated several macroalgal-polysaccharide-degrading bacteria from the surface of the brown alga Ascophyllum nodosum. These active isolates belong to two classes: the Flavobacteriia and the Gammaproteobacteria. In the present study, we constructed two "plurigenomic" (with multiple bacterial genomes) libraries with the 5 most interesting isolates (regarding their phylogeny and their enzymatic activities) of each class (Fv and Gm libraries). Both libraries were screened for diverse hydrolytic activities. Five activities, out of the 48 previously identified in the natural polysaccharolytic isolates, were recovered by functional screening: a xylanase (GmXyl7), a beta-glucosidase (GmBg1), an esterase (GmEst7) and two iota-carrageenases (Fvi2.5 and Gmi1.3). We discuss here the potential role of the used host-cell, the average DNA insert-sizes and the used restriction enzymes on the divergent screening yields obtained for both libraries and get deeper inside the "great screen anomaly". Interestingly, the discovered esterase probably stands for a novel family of homoserine o-acetyltransferase-like-esterases, while the two iota-carrageenases represent new members of the poorly known GH82 family (containing only 19 proteins since its description in 2000). These original results demonstrate the efficiency of our uncommon "plurigenomic" library approach and the underexplored potential of alga-associated cultivable microbiota for the identification of novel and algal-specific enzymes.

Abstract
Marine microorganisms play key roles in every marine ecological process, hence the growing interest in studying their populations and functions. Microbial communities on algae remain underexplored, however, despite their huge biodiversity and the fact that they differ markedly from those living freely in seawater. The study of this microbiota and of its relationships with algal hosts should provide crucial information for ecological investigations on algae and aquatic ecosystems. Furthermore, because these microorganisms interact with algae in multiple, complex ways, they constitute an interesting source of novel bioactive compounds with biotechnological potential, such as dehalogenases, antimicrobials, and alga-specific polysaccharidases (e.g., agarases, carrageenases, and alginate lyases). Here, to demonstrate the huge potential of alga-associated organisms and their metabolites in developing future biotechnological applications, we first describe the immense diversity and density of these microbial biofilms. We further describe their complex interactions with algae, leading to the production of specific bioactive compounds and hydrolytic enzymes of biotechnological interest. We end with a glance at their potential use in medical and industrial applications.

Abstract
PfbA (plasmin- and fibronectin-binding protein A) is an extracellular Streptococcus pneumoniae cell-wall attached surface protein that binds to fibronectin, plasmin, and plasminogen. Here we present a structural analysis of the surface exposed domains of PfbA using a combined approach of X-ray crystallography and small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS). The crystal structure of the PfbA core domain, here called PfbAβ, determined to 2.28 Å resolution revealed an elongated 12-stranded parallel β-helix fold, which structure-based comparisons reveal is most similar to proteins with carbohydrate modifying activity. A notable feature of the PfbAβ is an extensive cleft on one face of the protein with electrochemical and spatial features that are analogous to structurally similar carbohydrate-active enzymes utilizing this feature for substrate accommodation. Though this cleft displays a combination of basic amino acid residues and solvent exposed aromatic amino acids that are distinct features for recognition of carbohydrates, no obvious arrangement of amino acid side chains that would constitute catalytic machinery is evident. The pseudo-atomic SAXS model of a larger fragment of PfbA suggests that it has a relatively well-ordered structure with the N-terminal and core domains of PfbA adopting an extend organization and reveals a novel structural class of surface exposed pneumococcal matrix molecule adhesins.

Abstract
A gene of unknown function from the genome of the agar-degrading deep-sea bacterium Microbulbifer thermotolerans JAMB-A94(T) was functionally identified as a ι-carrageenase gene. This gene, designated as cgiA, is located together with two β-agarase genes, agaA and agaO in a cluster. The cgiA gene product is 569 amino acids and shares 29% identity over 185 amino acids with the ι-carrageenase from Zobellia galactanivorans Dsij DSM 12802. Recombinant, cgiA-encoded ι-carrageenase (55 kDa) was hyper-produced in Bacillus subtilis. The recombinant enzyme shows maximal activity at 50°C, the highest reported optimal temperature for a carrageenase. It cleaved β-1,4 linkages in ι-carrageenan to produce a high ratio of ι-carrageenan tetramer, more than 75% of the total product, and did not cleave the β-1,4 linkages in κ- or λ-carrageenan. Therefore, this enzyme may be useful for industrial production of ι-carrageenan oligosaccharides, which have demonstrated antiviral potential against diverse viruses. Furthermore, we performed site-directed mutagenesis on the gene to identify the catalytic amino acid residues. We demonstrated that a conserved Glu351 was essential for catalysis; however, this enzyme lacked a catalytic Asp residue, which is generally critical for the catalytic activity of most glycoside hydrolases.

Abstract
We have recently investigated and characterized the mode of action of BcPeh28A, an endopolygalacturonase (endoPG) from the phytopathogen Burkholderia cepacia. EndoPGs belong to glycoside hydrolase family 28 and are responsible for the hydrolysis of the non-esterified regions of pectins. Here we report a 3-D structural model of BcPeh28A by combining mass spectrometry (MS) analysis, aimed at disulphide bridges mapping, and computational modelling tools. MS analyses have revealed the complete pattern of disulphide bridges in BcPeh28A, pointing out the presence of three disulphide bonds, defined as Cys3-25, Cys216-244 and Cys309-421. A 3-D model of BcPeh28A was generated by computational methods based on profile-profile sequence alignments and fold recognition algorithms. The final model exhibits a right-handed β-helix fold with eleven β-helical coils and includes the disulphide bonds as additional spatial restraints. Molecular dynamics simulations have been performed to test the conformational stability of the model. Finally, the structural analysis of the BcPeh28A model allows defining the architecture and the amino acid topology of the subsites involved in the catalysis and in the substrate binding specificity.

Abstract
The common food additive carrageenan (CGN) predictably induces intestinal inflammation in animal models. Mechanisms of CGN-induced nuclear factor κB and interleukin-8 (IL-8) stimulation include an immune-mediated pathway involving toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) and B-cell lymphoma/leukemia 10 (BCL10) and a reactive oxygen species (ROS)-mediated pathway. To determine how the structure of CGN contributes to its initiation of inflammation through these two distinct mechanisms, we treated CGNs with galactosidases and carrageenases (CGNases) and determined the impact on IL-8 secretion and BCL10 production. Hydrolysis of CGN by the enzyme α-1→(3,6)-galactosidase significantly reduced increases in IL-8 and BCL10, but other galactosidases tested, including α-1→6-galactosidase, β-1→4-galactosidase and β-1→3,6-galactosidase, had no effect. In contrast, specific κ-CGNases or ι-CGNases, which hydrolyze β-1,4-galactosidic bonds, produced increases in IL-8 and BCL10 attributable to increased exposure of the immunogenic α-1→3-galactosidic epitope of CGN to TLR4. These results were consistent with induction of innate immune response by an interaction of TLR4 with the unusual α-d-Gal-(1→3)-d-Gal epitope present in CGN. Activation of the ROS-mediated pathway was unaffected by treatment of κ-CGN with either κ-CGNase (3 mg/L), α-1→(3,6)-galactosidase (20 mU/ml) or these enzymes in combination, indicating that changes in IL-8 production were attributable to the effects of induction of inflammation on the TLR4-BCL10-mediated innate immune pathway. These findings provide new information about the specificity of carbohydrate-protein interaction between CGN and TLR4 and may help to devise treatments that modify the immune reactivity induced by carbohydrate antigens.

Abstract
The geometry of metal coordination by proteins is well understood, but the evolution of metal binding sites has been less studied. Here we present a study on a small number of well-documented structural calcium and zinc binding sites, concerning how the geometry diverges between relatives, how often nonrelatives converge towards the same structure, and how often these metal binding sites are lost in the course of evolution. Both calcium and zinc binding site structure is observed to be conserved; structural differences between those atoms directly involved in metal binding in related proteins are typically less than 0.5 A root mean square deviation, even in distant relatives. Structural templates representing these conserved calcium and zinc binding sites were used to search the Protein Data Bank for cases where unrelated proteins have converged upon the same residue selection and geometry for metal binding. This allowed us to identify six "archetypal" metal binding site structures: two archetypal zinc binding sites, both of which had independently evolved on a large number of occasions, and four diverse archetypal calcium binding sites, where each had evolved independently on only a handful of occasions. We found that it was common for distant relatives of metal-binding proteins to lack metal-binding capacity. This occurred for 13 of the 18 metal binding sites we studied, even though in some of these cases the original metal had been classified as "essential for protein folding." For most of the calcium binding sites studied (seven out of eleven cases), the lack of metal binding in relatives was due to point mutation of the metal-binding residues, whilst for zinc binding sites, lack of metal binding in relatives always involved more extensive changes, with loss of secondary structural elements or loops around the binding site.

Abstract
Hybrid kappa/iota-carrageeans extracted from Gigartina skottsbergii, Chondracanthus chamissoï, and Chondrus crispus were incubated with Pseudoalteromonas carrageenovora kappa-carrageenase and Alteromonas fortis iota-carrageenase. The degradation products as well as the resistant fraction were fully characterized by chromatography, NMR, and mass spectrometry. The low percentage of degradation observed after treatment by the iota-carrageenase suggests that long segments of iota-carrabiose or block of iota-carrageenan are low in abundance. The degradation products of the kappa-carrageenase allow discriminating three modes of kappa-carrabiose distribution: blocks of kappa-carrabiose, kappa-carrabiose rich fraction containing iota-carrabiose units probably randomly distributed, and iota-carrabiose rich fraction which corresponds to the resistant fraction. The proportions of each fraction were related to the botanical origin as well as the place of growth of the seaweed.

Abstract
Carrageenans are sulfated galactans found in the cell walls of red seaweeds. They are classified according to the number and the position of sulfate ester groups. lambda-Carrageenan is the most sulfated carrageenan and carries at least three sulfates per disaccharide unit. The sole known depolymerizing enzyme of lambda-carrageenan, the lambda-carrageenase from Pseudoalteromonas carrageenovora, has been purified, cloned and sequenced. Sequence analyses have revealed that the lambda-carrageenase, referred to as CglA, is the first member of a new family of GHs (glycoside hydrolases), which is unrelated to families GH16, that contains kappa-carrageenases, and GH82, that contains iota-carrageenases. This large enzyme (105 kDa) features a low-complexity region, suggesting the presence of a linker connecting at least two independent modules. The N-terminal region is predicted to fold as a beta-propeller. The main degradation products have been purified and characterized as neo-lambda-carratetraose [DP (degree of polymerization) 4] and neo-lambda-carrahexaose (DP6), indicating that CglA hydrolyses the beta-(1-->4) linkage of lambda-carrageenan. LC-MALLS (liquid chromatography-multi-angle laser light scattering) and (1)H-NMR monitoring of the enzymatic degradation of lambda-carrageenan indicate that CglA proceeds according to an endolytic mode of action and a mechanism of inversion of the anomeric configuration. Using 2-aminoacridone-labelled neo-lambda-carrabiose oligosaccharides, in the present study we demonstrate that the active site of CglA comprises at least 8 subsites (-4 to +4) and that a DP6 oligosaccharide binds in the subsites -4 to +2 and can be hydrolysed into DP4 and DP2.

Abstract
Agarases are generally classified into glycoside hydrolase families 16, 50, and 86 and are found to degrade agarose to frequently generate neoagarobiose, neoagarotetraose, or neoagarohexaose as the main products. In this study we have cloned a novel endo-type beta-agarase gene, agaB, from marine Pseudoalteromonas sp. CY24. The novel agarase encoded by agaB gene has no significant sequence similarity with any known proteins including all glycoside hydrolases. It degrades agarose to generate neoagarooctaose and neoagarodecaose as the main end products. Based on the analyses of enzymatic kinetics and degradation patterns of different oligosaccharides, the agarase AgaB appears to have a large substrate binding cleft that accommodates 12 sugar units, with 8 sugar units toward the reducing end spanning subsites +1 to +8 and 4 sugar units toward the non-reducing end spanning subsites -4 to -1, and enzymatic cleavage taking place between subsites -1 and +1. In addition, 1H NMR analysis shows that this enzyme hydrolyzes the glycosidic bond with inversion of anomeric configuration, in contrast to other known agarases that are retaining. Altogether, AgaB is structurally and functionally different from other known agarases and appears to represent a new family of glycoside hydrolase.

Abstract
Sulfated fucans are matrix polysaccharides from marine brown algae, consisting of an alpha-L-fucose backbone substituted by sulfate-ester groups, masked with ramifications, and containing other monosaccharide residues. We here report on the characterization of a novel glycoside hydrolase (FcnA) specific for the degradation of sulfated fucans. This glycoside hydrolase was purified to electrophoretic homogeneity from a Flavobacteriaceae referred to as SW5. The gene fcnA was cloned and sequenced (3021 nucleotides), and the protein (1007 amino acids) was produced in Escherichia coli. FcnA exhibited a modular architecture consisting of a 400-residue-long N-terminal domain followed by three repeated domains predicted to adopt an immunoglobulin fold and by an 80-amino acid-long C-terminal domain. A truncated recombinant protein encompassing the N-terminal domain and the immunoglobulin-like repeats was shown to retain the enzyme activity. The N-terminal catalytic domain shared approximately 25% of sequence identity with two patented fucanase genes, and these three fucanases delineate a new family of glycoside hydrolases. As shown by size-exclusion chromatography (SEC) and 1H-NMR analyses, the fucanase FcnA proceeds according to an endolytic mode of action and cleaves the alpha-(1-->4) glycosidic linkages within the blocks of repeating motifs [-->4)-alpha-L-fucopyranosyl-2,3-disulfate-(1-->3)-alpha-L-fucopyranosyl-2-sulfate-(1-->]n.

Abstract
Strand-turn-strand motifs found in beta-helical (more generally, beta-solenoid) proteins differ fundamentally from those found in globular proteins. The latter are primarily beta-hairpins in which the two strands form an antiparallel beta-sheet. In the former, the two strands are relatively rotated by approximately 90 degrees around the strand axes so that they interact via the side-chains, not via the polypeptide backbones. We call the latter structures, beta-arches, and their turns, beta-arcs. In beta-solenoid proteins, beta-arches stack in-register to form beta-arcades in which parallel beta-sheets are assembled from corresponding strands in successive layers. The number of beta-solenoids whose three-dimensional structures have been determined is now large enough to support a detailed analysis and classification of beta-arc conformations. Here, we present a systematic account of beta-arcs distinguished by the number of residues, their conformations, and their propensity to stack into arcades with other like or unlike arches. The trends to emerge from this analysis have implications for sequence-based detection and structural prediction of other beta-solenoid proteins as well as for identification of amyloidogenic sequences and elucidation of amyloid fibril structures.

Abstract
Agars and carrageenans are 1,3-alpha-1,4-beta-galactans from the cell walls of red algae, substituted by zero (agarose), one (kappa-), two (iota-), or three (lambda-carrageenan) sulfate groups per disaccharidic monomer. Agars, kappa-, and iota-carrageenans auto-associate into crystalline fibers and are well known for their gelling properties, used in a variety of laboratory and industrial applications. These sulfated galactans constitute a crucial carbon source for a number of marine bacteria. These microorganisms secrete glycoside hydrolases specific for these polyanionic, insoluble polysaccharides, agarases and carrageenases. This article reviews the microorganisms involved in the degradation of agars and carrageenans, in their environmental and taxonomic diversity. We also present an overview on the biochemistry of the different families of galactanases. The structure-function relationships of the family GH16 beta-agarases and kappa-caraggeenases and of the family GH82 iota-carrageenases are discussed in more details. In particular, we examine how the active site topologies of these glycoside hydrolases influence their mode of action in heterogeneous phase. Finally, we discuss the next challenges in the basic and applied field of the galactans of red algae and of their related degrading microorganisms.

Abstract
Beta-rolls and beta-helices belong to a larger group of topologically similar proteins with solenoid folds: because their regular secondary structure elements are exclusively beta-strands, they are referred to as beta-solenoids. The number of beta-solenoids whose structures are known is now large enough to support a systematic analysis. Here we survey the distinguishing structural features of beta-solenoids, also documenting their notable diversity. Appraisal of these structures suggests a classification based on handedness, twist, oligomerization state, and coil shape. In addition, beta-solenoids are distinguished by the number of chains that wind around a common axis: the majority are single-stranded but there is a recently discovered subset of triple-stranded beta-solenoids. This survey has revealed some relationships of the amino acid sequences of beta-solenoids with their structures and functions-in particular, the repetitive character of the coil sequences and conformations that recur in tracts of tandem repeats. We have proposed the term beta-arc for the distinctive turns found in beta-solenoids and beta-arch for the corresponding strand-turn-strand motifs. The evolutionary mechanisms underlying these proteins are also discussed. This analysis has direct implications for sequence-based detection, structural prediction, and de novo design of other beta-solenoid proteins. The abundance of virulence factors, toxins and allergens among beta-solenoids, as well as commonalities of beta-solenoids with amyloid fibrils, imply that this class of folds may have a broader role in human diseases than was previously recognized. Thus, identification of genes with putative beta-solenoid domains promises to be a fertile direction in the search for viable targets in the development of new antibiotics and vaccines.
