Abstract
Introduction The Three-River Source Nature Reserve is located in the core area of the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau, with the alpine swamp, meadow and steppe as the main ecosystem types. However, the microbial communities in these alpine ecosystems, and their carbon and nitrogen degrading metabolic networks and limiting factors remain unclear. Methods We sequenced the diversity of bacteria and fungi in alpine swamps, meadows, steppes, and their degraded and artificially restored ecosystems and analyzed soil environmental conditions. Results The results indicated that moisture content had a greater influence on soil microbial community structure compared to degradation and restoration. Proteobacteria dominated in high moisture alpine swamps and alpine meadows, while Actinobacteria dominated in low moisture alpine steppes and artificial grasslands. A metabolic network analysis of carbon and nitrogen degradation and transformation using metagenomic sequencing revealed that plateau microorganisms lacked comprehensive and efficient enzyme systems to degrade organic carbon, nitrogen, and other biological macromolecules, so that the short-term degradation of alpine vegetation had no effect on the basic composition of soil microbial community. Correlation analysis found that nitrogen fixation was strong in meadows with high moisture content, and their key nitrogen-fixing enzymes were significantly related to Sphingomonas. Denitrification metabolism was enhanced in water-deficient habitats, and the key enzyme, nitrous oxide reductase, was significantly related to Phycicoccus and accelerated the loss of nitrogen. Furthermore, Bacillus contained a large number of amylases (GH13 and GH15) and proteases (S8, S11, S26, and M24) which may promote the efficient degradation of organic carbon and nitrogen in artificially restored grasslands. Discussion This study illustrated the irrecoverability of meadow degradation and offered fundamental information for altering microbial communities to restore alpine ecosystems.

Comparison of the Biochemical Properties and Roles in the Xyloglucan-Rich Biomass Degradation of a GH74 Xyloglucanase and Its CBM-Deleted Variant from Thielavia terrestris. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms23095276. [PMID: 35563667 PMCID: PMC9103125 DOI: 10.3390/ijms23095276] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/23/2022] [Revised: 05/04/2022] [Accepted: 05/06/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Xyloglucan is closely associated with cellulose and still retained with some modification in pretreated lignocellulose; however, its influence on lignocellulose biodegradation is less understood. TtGH74 from Thielavia terrestris displayed much higher catalytic activity than previously characterized fungal GH74 xyloglucanases. The carbohydrate-binding module 1 (CBM1) deleted variant (TtGH74ΔCBM) had the same optimum temperature and pH but an elevated thermostability. TtGH74 displayed a high binding affinity on xyloglucan and cellulose, while TtGH74ΔCBM completely lost the adsorption capability on cellulose. Their hydrolysis action alone or in combination with other glycoside hydrolases on the free xyloglucan, xyloglucan-coated phosphoric acid-swollen cellulose or pretreated corn bran and apple pomace was compared. CBM1 might not be essential for the hydrolysis of free xyloglucan but still effective for the associated xyloglucan to an extent. TtGH74 alone or synergistically acting with the CBH1/EG1 mixture was more effective in the hydrolysis of xyloglucan in corn bran, while TtGH74ΔCBM showed relatively higher catalytic activity on apple pomace, indicating that the role and significance of CBM1 are substrate-specific. The degrees of synergy for TtGH74 or TtGH74ΔCBM with the CBH1/EG1 mixture reached 1.22–2.02. The addition of GH10 xylanase in TtGH74 or the TtGH74ΔCBM/CBH1/EG1 mixture further improved the overall hydrolysis efficiency, and the degrees of synergy were up to 1.50–2.16.

Abstract
Xyloglucan is a prominent matrix heteropolysaccharide binding to cellulose microfibrils in primary plant cell walls. Hence, the hydrolysis of xyloglucan facilitates the overall lignocellulosic biomass degradation. Xyloglucanases (XEGs) are key enzymes classified in several glycoside hydrolase (GH) families. So far, family GH44 has been shown to contain bacterial XEGs only. Detailed genome analysis revealed GH44 members in fungal species from the phylum Basidiomycota, but not in other fungi, which we hypothesized to also be XEGs. Two GH44 enzymes from Dichomitus squalens and Pleurotus ostreatus were heterologously produced and characterized. They exhibited XEG activity and displayed a hydrolytic cleavage pattern different from that observed in fungal XEGs from other GH families. Specifically, the fungal GH44 XEGs were not hindered by substitution of neighboring glucosyl units and generated various "XXXG-type," "GXXX(G)-type," and "XXX-type" oligosaccharides. Overall, these fungal GH44 XEGs represent a novel class of enzymes for plant biomass conversion and valorization.

Abstract
Xyloglucan (XyG) is a ubiquitous plant cell wall hemicellulose that is targeted by a range of syntenic, microheterogeneous xyloglucan utilization loci (XyGUL) in Bacteroidetes species of the human gut microbiota (HGM), including Bacteroides ovatus and B. uniformis. Comprehensive biochemical and biophysical analyses have identified key differences in the protein complements of each locus that confer differential access to structurally diverse XyG side chain variants. A second, nonsyntenic XyGUL was previously identified in B. uniformis, although its function in XyG utilization compared to its syntenic counterpart was unclear. Here, complementary enzymatic product profiles and bacterial growth curves showcase the notable preference of BuXyGUL2 surface glycan-binding proteins (SGBPs) to bind full-length XyG, as well as a range of oligosaccharides produced by the glycoside hydrolase family 5 (GH5_4) endo-xyloglucanase from this locus. We use isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) to characterize this binding capacity and pinpoint the specific contributions of each protein to nutrient capture. The high-resolution structure of BuXyGUL2 SGBP-B reveals remarkable putative binding site conservation with the canonical XyG-binding BoXyGUL SGBP-B, supporting similar roles for these proteins in glycan capture. Together, these data underpin the central role of complementary XyGUL function in B. uniformis and broaden our systems-based and mechanistic understanding of XyG utilization in the HGM. IMPORTANCE The omnipresence of xyloglucans in the human diet has led to the evolution of heterogeneous gene clusters in several Bacteroidetes species in the HGM, each specially tuned to respond to the structural variations of these complex plant cell wall polysaccharides. Our research illuminates the complementary roles of syntenic and nonsyntenic XyGUL in B. uniformis in conferring growth on a variety of XyG-derived substrates, providing evidence of glycan-binding protein microadaptation within a single species. These data serve as a comprehensive overview of the binding capacities of the SGBPs from a nonsyntenic B. uniformis XyGUL and will inform future studies on the roles of complementary loci in glycan targeting by key HGM species.

Conservation of endo-glucanase 16 (EG16) activity across highly divergent plant lineages. Biochem J 2021; 478:3063-3078. [PMID: 34338284 DOI: 10.1042/bcj20210341] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/12/2021] [Revised: 07/21/2021] [Accepted: 07/30/2021] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
Plant cell walls are highly dynamic structures that are composed predominately of polysaccharides. As such, endogenous carbohydrate active enzymes (CAZymes) are central to the synthesis and subsequent modification of plant cells during morphogenesis. The endo-glucanase 16 (EG16) members constitute a distinct group of plant CAZymes, angiosperm orthologs of which were recently shown to have dual β-glucan/xyloglucan hydrolase activity. Molecular phylogeny indicates that EG16 members comprise a sister clade with a deep evolutionary relationship to the widely studied apoplastic xyloglucan endo-transglycosylases/hydrolases (XTH). A cross-genome survey indicated that EG16 members occur as a single ortholog across species and are widespread in early diverging plants, including the non-vascular bryophytes, for which functional data were previously lacking. Remarkably, enzymological characterization of an EG16 ortholog from the model moss Physcomitrella patens (PpEG16) revealed that EG16 activity and sequence/structure are highly conserved across 500 million years of plant evolution, vis-à-vis orthologs from grapevine and poplar. Ex vivo biomechanical assays demonstrated that the application of EG16 gene products caused abrupt breakage of etiolated hypocotyls rather than slow extension, thereby indicating a mode-of-action distinct from endogenous expansins and microbial endo-glucanases. The biochemical data presented here will inform future genomic, genetic, and physiological studies of EG16 enzymes.

Abstract
Xyloglucans are highly substituted and recalcitrant polysaccharides found in the primary cell walls of vascular plants, acting as a barrier against pathogens. Here, we reveal that the diverse and economically relevant Xanthomonas bacteria are endowed with a xyloglucan depolymerization machinery that is linked to pathogenesis. Using the citrus canker pathogen as a model organism, we show that this system encompasses distinctive glycoside hydrolases, a modular xyloglucan acetylesterase and specific membrane transporters, demonstrating that plant-associated bacteria employ distinct molecular strategies from commensal gut bacteria to cope with xyloglucans. Notably, the sugars released by this system elicit the expression of several key virulence factors, including the type III secretion system, a membrane-embedded apparatus to deliver effector proteins into the host cells. Together, these findings shed light on the molecular mechanisms underpinning the intricate enzymatic machinery of Xanthomonas to depolymerize xyloglucans and uncover a role for this system in signaling pathways driving pathogenesis.

Multicomponent carbohydrase system from Trichoderma reesei: A toolbox to address complexity of cell walls of plant substrates in animal feed. PLoS One 2021; 16:e0251556.

Abstract
A diverse range of monocot and dicot grains and their by-products are commonly used in the animal feed industry. They all come with complex and variable cell wall structures which in turn contribute significant fiber to the complete feed. The cell wall is a highly interconnected matrix of various polysaccharides, proteins and lignin and, as such, requires a collaborative effort of different enzymes for its degradation. In this regard, we investigated the potential of a commercial multicomponent carbohydrase product from a wild type fermentation of Trichoderma reesei (T. reesei) (RONOZYME® MultiGrain) in degrading cell wall components of wheat, barley, rye, de-oiled rice bran, sunflower, rapeseed and cassava. A total of thirty-one different enzyme proteins were identified in the T. Reesei carbohydrase product using liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry LC-MS/MS including glycosyl hydrolases and carbohydrate esterases. As measured by in vitro incubations and non-starch polysaccharide component analysis, and visualization by immunocytochemistry and confocal microscopy imaging of immuno-labeled samples with confocal microscopy, the carbohydrase product effectively solubilized cellulolytic and hemicellulolytic polysaccharides present in the cell walls of all the feed ingredients evaluated. The T. reesei fermentation also decreased viscosity of arabinoxylan, xyloglucan, galactomannan and β-glucan substrates. Combination of several debranching enzymes including arabinofuranosidase, xylosidase, α-galactosidase, acetyl xylan esterase, and 4-O-methyl-glucuronoyl methylesterase with both GH10 and GH11 xylanases in the carbohydrase product resulted in effective hydrolyzation of heavily branched glucuronoarabinoxylans. The different β-glucanases (both endo-β-1,3(4)-glucanase and endo-β-1,3-glucanase), cellulases and a β-glucosidase in the T. reesei fermentation effectively reduced polymerization of both β-glucans and cellulose polysaccharides of viscous cereals grains (wheat, barley, rye and oat). Interestingly, the secretome of T. reesei contained significant amounts of an exceptional direct chain-cutting enzyme from the GH74 family (Cel74A, xyloglucan-specific β-1,4-endoglucanase), that strictly cleaves the xyloglucan backbone at the substituted regions. Here, we demonstrated that the balance of enzymes present in the T. reesei secretome is capable of degrading various cell wall components in both monocot and dicot plant raw material used as animal feed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The filamentous fungus Trichoderma reesei is used on an industrial scale to produce enzymes of biotechnological interest. This fungus has a complex cellulolytic system involved in the degradation of lignocellulosic biomass. However, several aspects related to the regulation of the expression of holocellulolytic genes and the production of cellulases by this fungus are still understood. METHODS Here, we constructed a null mutant strain for the xyloglucanase cel74a gene and performed the characterization of the Δcel74a strain to evaluate the genetic regulation of the holocellulases during sugarcane bagasse (SCB) cultivation. RESULTS Our results demonstrate that the deletion of xyloglucanase cel74a may impact the regulation of holocellulase expression during SCB cultivation. The expression of cellulases cel7a, cel7b, and cel6a was reduced in Δcel74a strain, while the hemicellulases xyn1 and xyn2 were increased in the presence of SCB. The cel74a mutation also affected the xyloglucan hydrolysis patterns. In addition, CEL74A activity was modulated in the presence of calcium, suggesting that this ion may be required for efficient degradation of xyloglucan. CONCLUSIONS CEL74A affects the regulation of holocellulolytic genes and the efficient degradation of SCB in T. reesei. This data makes a significant contribution to our understanding of the carbon utilization of fungal strains as a whole.

Aspergillus species are closely associated with humanity through fermentation, infectious disease, and mycotoxin contamination of food. Members of this genus produce various enzymes to degrade plant polysaccharides, including starch, cellulose, xylan, and xyloglucan. This review focus on the machinery of the xyloglucan degradation using glycoside hydrolases, such as xyloglucanases, isoprimeverose-producing oligoxyloglucan hydrolases, and α-xylosidases, in Aspergillus species. Some xyloglucan degradation-related glycoside hydrolases are well conserved in this genus; however, other enzymes are not. Cooperative actions of these glycoside hydrolases are crucial for xyloglucan degradation in Aspergillus species. KEY POINTS: •Xyloglucan degradation-related enzymes of Aspergillus species are reviewed. •Each Aspergillus species possesses a different set of glycoside hydrolases. •The machinery of xyloglucan degradation of A. oryzae is overviewed.

New Family of Carbohydrate-Binding Modules Defined by a Galactosyl-Binding Protein Module from a Cellvibrio japonicus Endo-Xyloglucanase. Appl Environ Microbiol 2021; 87:e0263420.

Abstract
Carbohydrate-binding modules (CBMs) are usually appended to carbohydrate-active enzymes (CAZymes) and serve to potentiate catalytic activity, for example, by increasing substrate affinity. The Gram-negative soil saprophyte Cellvibrio japonicus is a valuable source for CAZyme and CBM discovery and characterization due to its innate ability to degrade a wide array of plant polysaccharides. Bioinformatic analysis of the CJA_2959 gene product from C. japonicus revealed a modular architecture consisting of a fibronectin type III (Fn3) module, a cryptic module of unknown function (X181), and a glycoside hydrolase family 5 subfamily 4 (GH5_4) catalytic module. We previously demonstrated that the last of these, CjGH5F, is an efficient and specific endo-xyloglucanase (M. A. Attia, C. E. Nelson, W. A. Offen, N. Jain, et al., Biotechnol Biofuels 11:45, 2018, https://doi.org/10.1186/s13068-018-1039-6). In the present study, C-terminal fusion of superfolder green fluorescent protein in tandem with the Fn3-X181 modules enabled recombinant production and purification from Escherichia coli. Native affinity gel electrophoresis revealed binding specificity for the terminal galactose-containing plant polysaccharides galactoxyloglucan and galactomannan. Isothermal titration calorimetry further evidenced a preference for galactoxyloglucan polysaccharide over short oligosaccharides comprising the limit-digest products of CjGH5F. Thus, our results identify the X181 module as the defining member of a new CBM family, CBM88. In addition to directly revealing the function of this CBM in the context of xyloglucan metabolism by C. japonicus, this study will guide future bioinformatic and functional analyses across microbial (meta)genomes. IMPORTANCE This study reveals carbohydrate-binding module family 88 (CBM88) as a new family of galactose-binding protein modules, which are found in series with diverse microbial glycoside hydrolases, polysaccharide lyases, and carbohydrate esterases. The definition of CBM88 in the carbohydrate-active enzymes classification (http://www.cazy.org/CBM88.html) will significantly enable future microbial (meta)genome analysis and functional studies.

Strategic aromatic residues in the catalytic cleft of the xyloglucanase MtXgh74 modifying thermostability, mode of enzyme action, and viscosity reduction ability. Appl Microbiol Biotechnol 2021; 105:1461-1476. [PMID: 33521846 DOI: 10.1007/s00253-021-11106-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/11/2020] [Revised: 12/14/2020] [Accepted: 01/05/2021] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
The thermostable endo-processive xyloglucanase MtXgh74 from Myceliophthora thermophila was used to study the influence of aromatic amino acids in the catalytic cleft on the mode of action and the ability of enzyme to reduce xyloglucan viscosity. The enzyme derivative Mut I with mutations W64A/W67A in the "negative" subsites of the catalytic cleft resulted in a 5.5-fold increase of the Km value. Mut I produced oligosaccharides of various lengths in addition to xyloglucan building blocks. The W320A/W321A substitutions in the "positive" subsites of the mutated enzyme Mut II catalytic cleft increased the Km value 54-fold and resulted in an endo-dissociative mode of action. The ability of Mut II to reduce the viscosity of xyloglucan at 50 °C was much better than that of other MtXgh74 variants. Besides, Mut II efficiently reduced viscosity of a natural substrate, the pulp of xyloglucan-containing tamarind seed flour. The Km, Vmax, and kcat values and viscosity reduction ability of the enzyme derivative Mut III (W320A/W321A/G446Y) returned to levels close to that of MtXgh74. The pattern of xyloglucan hydrolysis by Mut III was typical for endo-processive xyloglucanases. The thermostability of Mut I and Mut II at 60 °C decreased significantly compared to the wild type, whereas the thermostability of Mut III at 60 °C restored almost to the MtXgh74-wt value. All mutants lost the ability to cleave the backbone of xyloglucan building blocks which was a characteristic of MtXgh74. Instead they acquired a low branch removing activity. Molecular dynamics simulations revealed the role of mutated amino acids in the complex action mechanism of GH74 enzymes. KEY POINTS: • Endo-processive mode of action of the xyloglucanase MtXgh74 was altered by rational design. • The endo-dissociative mutant Mut II (W320A/W321A) efficiently reduced XyG viscosity. • The substitutions W320A/W321A/G446Y in Mut III recovered the endo-processive mode. • Mut II can be used to reduce the viscosity of biomass slurries containing tamarind seed flour.

Insights into substrate specificity of proteases for screening efficient dehairing enzymes. Int J Biol Macromol 2021; 172:360-370.

Abstract
Though numerous proteases have been isolated and screened for the dehairing purpose, their use in the leather industry is limited mainly due to high cost, the need for expertise, and control during unit operation and alterations in the quality of leather due to lack of the right kind of substrate specificity of the enzymes used. This paper deals with the comparative specificity and dehairing efficiency of proteases isolated from Bacillus cereus VITSP01 (PE2) and Brevibacterium luteolum VITSP02 (PE). PE2 and PE were found to be trypsin-like and elastase-like serine proteases respectively. The protease of VITSP02 degraded the proteoglycans efficiently in comparison to that of VITSP01. The results suggest that the possible targets of the studied proteases might be skin proteoglycans, including those cementing the hair root bulb. Hence, an in-depth study on the substrate specificity of the dehairing proteases would help in designing an improved screening method for isolating potent dehairing enzymes.

[PMID: 32910269 DOI: 10.1007/s00253-020-10883-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/06/2020] [Revised: 08/13/2020] [Accepted: 09/02/2020] [Indexed: 02/03/2023]
Abstract
Aspergillus oryzae produces glycoside hydrolases to degrade xyloglucan. We identified and characterized two xyloglucan-specific endo-1,4-glucanases (xyloglucanases) named Xeg12A and Xeg5A. Based on their amino acid sequences, Xeg12A and Xeg5A were classified into glycoside hydrolase families GH12 and GH5, respectively. Xeg12A degrades tamarind seed xyloglucan polysaccharide into xyloglucan oligosaccharides containing four glucopyranosyl residues as main chains, including heptasaccharides (XXXG: Glc4Xyl3), octasaccharides (XXLG and XLXG: Glc4Xyl3Gal1), and nonasaccharides (XLLG: Glc4Xyl3Gal2). By contrast, Xeg5A produces various xyloglucan oligosaccharides from xyloglucan. Xeg5A hydrolyzes xyloglucan into not only XXXG, XXLG/XLXG, and XLLG but also disaccharides (isoprimeverose: Glc1Xyl1), tetrasaccharides (XX: Glc2Xyl2 and LG: Glc2Xyl1Gal1), and so on. Xeg12A is a typical endo-dissociative-type xyloglucanase that repeats hydrolysis and desorption from xyloglucan. Conversely, Xeg5A acts as an endo-processive-type xyloglucanase that hydrolyzes xyloglucan progressively without desorption. These results indicate that although both Xeg12A and Xeg5A contribute to the degradation of xyloglucan, they have different modes of activity toward xyloglucan, and the hydrolysis machinery of Xeg5A is unique compared with that of other known GH5 enzymes. KEY POINTS: • We identified two xyloglucanases, Xeg12A and Xeg5A, in A. oryzae. • Modes of activity and regiospecificities of Xeg12A and Xeg5A were clearly different. • Xeg5A is a unique xyloglucanase that produces low-molecular-weight oligosaccharides.

Abstract
BACKGROUND GH74 xyloglucanases are composed of two separate domains connected by two unstructured peptides. Previously, a hypothesis was made that the movement of domains may affect the enzyme mechanism of catalysis. METHODS The molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of endo-processive xyloglucanases from Paenibacillus odorifer (PoGH74cat) and Myceliophthora thermophila (MtXeg74A) were carried out. RESULTS MD simulations for both enzymes in complex with XXLG and XGXXLG oligosaccharides confirmed the possibility of domain movement. In the case of MtXeg74A, changes in the distances between Cα atoms of aromatic residues involved in xyloglucan binding in -3 and +3 subsites of the active site cleft and those of selected residues on the opposite side of the cleft reached values up to 10-12 Å. For PoGH74cat the conformational changes were less pronounced. In MtXeg74A variants, the deletion of loop 1, which partially closes the entrance to the cleft, and the additional double mutation of two Trp residues in +3 and +5 subsites caused the enhanced mobility of the XGXXLG and also induced changes in topography of the cleft. CONCLUSIONS These findings demonstrate the possibility of existence of GH74 xyloglucanases in a more open and more closed enzyme conformation. The enzyme in an open conformation may more easily accommodate the branched polysaccharide, while its transition to the closed conformation, together with loop 1 function, should aid processivity. GENERAL SIGNIFICANCE Our results provide an insight into a mechanism of action of GH74 xyloglucanases and may be useful for discussing the catalytic mechanisms of glycoside hydrolases from other families.

Abstract
Coastal phytoplankton blooms are frequently followed by successive blooms of heterotrophic bacterial clades. The class Flavobacteriia within the Bacteroidetes has been shown to play an important role in the degradation of high molecular weight substrates that become available in the later stages of such blooms. One of the flavobacterial clades repeatedly observed over the course of several years during phytoplankton blooms off the coast of Helgoland, North Sea, is Vis6. This genus-level clade belongs to the family Cryomorphaceae and has been resistant to cultivation to date. Based on metagenome assembled genomes, comparative 16S rRNA gene sequence analyses and fluorescence in situ hybridization, we here propose a novel candidate genus Abditibacter, comprising three novel species Candidatus Abditibacter vernus, Candidatus Abditibacter forsetii and Candidatus Abditibacter autumni. While the small genomes of the three novel photoheterotrophic species encode highly similar gene repertoires, including genes for degradation of proteins and algal storage polysaccharides such as laminarin, two of them - Ca. A. vernus and Ca. A. forsetii - seem to have a preference for spring blooms, while Ca. A. autumni almost exclusively occurs in late summer and autumn.

Analysis of Active Site Architecture and Reaction Product Linkage Chemistry Reveals a Conserved Cleavage Substrate for an Endo-alpha-mannanase within Diverse Yeast Mannans.

Abstract
Yeast α-mannan (YM) is a densely branched N-linked glycan that decorates the surface of yeast cell walls. Owing to the high degree of branching, cleavage of the backbone of YM appears to rely on the coupled action of side-chain-cleaving enzymes. Upon examining the genome sequences of bovine-adapted Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron strains, isolated for their ability to degrade YM, we have identified a tandem pair of genes inserted into an orphan pathway predicted to be involved in YM metabolism. Here, we investigated the activity of one of these enzymes, a predicted endo-mannanase from glycoside hydrolase (GH) family 76 (BtGH76-MD40). Purified recombinant BtGH76-MD40 displayed activity on structurally distinct YMs from Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Schizosaccharomyces pombe. Linkage analysis of released oligosaccharide products from S. cerevisiae and S. pombe mannan determined BtGH76-MD40 targets a specific linkage that is conserved in structurally diverse YM substrates. In addition, using two differential derivatization methods, we have shown that there is an absolute requirement for undecorated d-mannopyranose in the -1 subsite. Determination of the BtGH76-MD40 X-ray crystal structure and structural superimposition and molecular docking of a branched alpha-mannopentatose substrate supported these findings. In contrast, BtGH76-MD40 can accommodate extended side chains in the +1 and -2 subsites, highlighting that a single alpha-1,6-mannosyl residue is a prerequisite for activity, and cleavage occurs at the reducing end of the undecorated monosaccharide. Collectively these results demonstrate how acquisition of new enzymes within extant pathways contributes to the functional abilities of saccharolytic bacteria persisting in complex digestive ecosystems.
