[PMID: 37048239 PMCID: PMC10093620 DOI: 10.3390/foods12071418] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/22/2023] [Revised: 03/20/2023] [Accepted: 03/22/2023] [Indexed: 03/29/2023] Open
Abstract
The aim of this study was to employ molecular dynamics simulations to elucidate the mechanism involved in amylose–zein complexation and the stability of the molecular conformation of amylose–zein complexes in water at the atomic and molecular levels. The average root mean square deviation and radius of gyration were lower for amylose–zein complexes (1.11 nm and 1 nm, respectively) than for amylose (2.13 nm and 1.2 nm, respectively), suggesting a significantly higher conformational stability for amylose–zein complexes than for amylose in water. The results of radial distribution function, solvent-accessible surface area, and intramolecular and intermolecular hydrogen bonds revealed that the amylose–zein interaction inhibited water permeation into the amylose cavity, leading to enhanced conformational stabilities of the V-type helical structure of amylose and the amylose–zein complexes. Furthermore, the amylose in amylose–zein complexes displayed the thermodynamically stable 4C1 conformation. These findings can provide theoretical guidance in terms of the application of protein on starch processing aiming to improve the physicochemical and functional properties of starch (such as swelling capacity, pasting properties, and digestibility) for developing novel low-digestibility starch–protein products.

Abstract
The structural X-ray map of a pig pancreatic alpha-amylase crystal soaked (and flash-frozen) with a maltopentaose substrate showed a pattern of electron density corresponding to the binding of oligosaccharides at the active site and at three surface binding sites. The electron density region observed at the active site, filling subsites-3 through-1, was interpreted in terms of the process of enzyme-catalyzed hydrolysis undergone by maltopentaose. Because the expected conformational changes in the "flexible loop" that constitutes the surface edge of the active site were not observed, the movement of the loop may depend on aglycone site being filled. The crystal structure was refined at 2.01 A resolution to an R factor of 17.0% ( R(free) factor of 19.8%). The final model consists of 3910 protein atoms, one calcium ion, two chloride ions, 103 oligosaccharide atoms, 761 atoms of water molecules, and 23 ethylene glycol atoms.

Abstract
The relative specificity and bond cleavage pattern of barley alpha-amylase 1 (AMY1) were dramatically changed by mutation in F(286)VD that connected beta-strand 7 of the catalytic (beta/alpha)(8)-barrel to a succeeding 3(10)-helix. This conserved tripeptide of the otherwise variable beta --> alpha segment 7 lacked direct ligand contact, but the nearby residues His290 and Asp291 participated in transition-state stabilization and catalysis. On the basis of sequences of glycoside hydrolase family 13, a biased random mutagenesis protocol was designed which encoded 174 putative F(286)VD variants of C95A-AMY1, chosen as the parent enzyme to avoid inactivating glutathionylation by the yeast host. The FVG, FGG, YVD, LLD, and FLE mutants showed 12-380 and 1.8-33% catalytic efficiency (k(cat)/K(m)) toward 2-chloro-4-nitrophenyl beta-D-maltoheptaoside and amylose DP17, respectively, and 0.5-50% activity for insoluble starch compared to that of C95A-AMY1. K(m) and k(cat) were decreased 2-9- and 1.3-83-fold, respectively, for the soluble substrates. The starch:oligosaccharide and amylose:oligosaccharide specificity ratios were 13-172 and 2.4-14 for mutants and 520 and 27 for C95A-AMY1, respectively. The FVG mutant released 4-nitrophenyl alpha-D-maltotrioside (PNPG(3)) from PNPG(5), whereas C95A-AMY1 produced PNPG and PNPG(2). The mutation thus favored interaction with the substrate aglycon part, while products from PNPG(6) reflected the fact that the mutation restored binding at subsite -6 which was lost in C95A-AMY1. The outcome of this combined irrational and rational protein engineering approach was evaluated considering structural accommodation of mutant side chains. FVG and FGG, present in the most active variants, represented novel sequences. This emphasized the worth of random mutagenesis and launched flexibility as a goal for beta --> alpha loop 7 engineering in family 13.

Abstract
BACKGROUND alpha-Amylases catalyze the hydrolysis of alpha-D-(1,4)-glucan linkages in starch and related compounds. There is a wide range of industrial and medical applications for these enzymes and their inhibitors. The Ragi bifunctional alpha-amylase/trypsin inhibitor (RBI) is the prototype of the cereal inhibitor superfamily and is the only member of this family that inhibits both trypsin and alpha-amylases. The mode of inhibition of alpha-amylases by these cereal inhibitors has so far been unknown. RESULTS The crystal structure of yellow meal worm alpha-amylase (TMA) in complex with RBI was determined at 2.5 A resolution. RBI almost completely fills the substrate-binding site of TMA. Specifically, the free N terminus and the first residue (Ser1) of RBI interact with all three acidic residues of the active site of TMA (Asp185, Glu222 and Asp287). The complex is further stabilized by extensive interactions between the enzyme and inhibitor. Although there is no significant structural reorientation in TMA upon inhibitor binding, the N-terminal segment of RBI, which is highly flexible in the free inhibitor, adopts a 3(10)-helical conformation in the complex. RBI's trypsin-binding loop is located opposite the alpha-amylase-binding site, allowing simultaneous binding of alpha-amylase and trypsin. CONCLUSIONS The binding of RBI to TMA constitutes a new inhibition mechanism for alpha-amylases and should be general for all alpha-amylase inhibitors of the cereal inhibitor superfamily. Because RBI inhibits two important digestive enzymes of animals, it constitutes an efficient plant defense protein and may be used to protect crop plants from predatory insects.

Abstract
The three-dimensional structure of the alpha-amylase from Tenebrio molitor larvae (TMA) has been determined by molecular replacement techniques using diffraction data of a crystal of space group P212121 (a=51.24 A; b=93.46 A; c=96.95 A). The structure has been refined to a crystallographic R-factor of 17.7% for 58,219 independent reflections in the 7.0 to 1.64 A resolution range, with root-mean-square deviations of 0.008 A for bond lengths and 1.482 degrees for bond angles. The final model comprises all 471 residues of TMA, 261 water molecules, one calcium cation and one chloride anion. The electron density confirms that the N-terminal glutamine residue has undergone a post-transitional modification resulting in a stable 5-oxo-proline residue. The X-ray structure of TMA provides the first three-dimensional model of an insect alpha-amylase. The monomeric enzyme exhibits an elongated shape approximately 75 Ax46 Ax40 A and consists of three distinct domains, in line with models for alpha-amylases from microbial, plant and mammalian origin. However, the structure of TMA reflects in the substrate and inhibitor binding region a remarkable difference from mammalian alpha-amylases: the lack of a highly flexible, glycine-rich loop, which has been proposed to be involved in a "trap-release" mechanism of substrate hydrolysis by mammalian alpha-amylases. The structural differences between alpha-amylases of various origins might explain the specificity of inhibitors directed exclusively against insect alpha-amylases.

Abstract
Pressure effects on the time course of the products' composition accompanying the hydrolysis of maltooligosaccharides [maltotetraose (G4) maltopentaose (G5), and maltohexaose (G6)] catalyzed by porcine pancreatic alpha-amylase (PPA) were measured up to 300MPa at 30 degrees C. The composition of products, glucose (G ), maltose (G2), and maltotriose (G3), for the hydrolysis of G4, and G5 substrates changed a little by compression. But for G6 substrate, pressure induced some changes in the composition of products, G2, G3, and G4, respectively. From the pressure dependence of the observed rate constants on PPA catalyzed hydrolysis of G6, the volume difference between two kinds of Michaelis complexes of alpha-amylase-G6 is about 5.4 cm3/mol. The mechanism of an interesting pressure-induced reaction catalyzed by PPA is discussed in the terms of the reaction volumes.

Abstract
Glucoamylase is an important industrial glucohydrolase with a large specificity range. To investigate its interaction with the monosaccharides D-glucose, D-mannose, and D-galactose and with the substrate analogues 1-deoxynojirimycin, D-glucono-1,5-lactone, and methyl alpha-acarviosinide, MM3(92)-optimized structures were docked into its active site using AutoDock 2.1. The results were compared to structures of glucoamylase complexes obtained by protein crystallography. Charged forms of some substrate analogues were also docked to assess the degree of protonation possessed by glucoamylase inhibitors. Many forms of methyl alpha-acarviosinide were conformationally mapped by using MM3(92), characterizing the conformational pH dependence found for the acarbose family of glucosidase inhibitors. Their significant conformers, representing the most common states of the inhibitor, were used as initial structures for docking. This constitutes a new approach for the exploration of binding modes of carbohydrate chains. Docking results differ slightly from x-ray crystallographic data, the difference being of the order of the crystallographic error. The estimated energetic interactions, even though agreeing in some cases with experimental binding kinetics, are only qualitative due to the large approximations made by AutoDock force field.

Abstract
The Bacillus sp. SAM1606 alpha-glucosidase with a broad substrate specificity is the only known alpha-glucosidase that can hydrolyze alpha,alpha'-trehalose efficiently. The enzyme exhibits a very high sequence similarity to the oligo-1,6-glucosidases (O16G) of Bacillus thermoglucosidasius and Bacillus cereus which cannot act on trehalose. These three enzymes share 80% identical residues within the conserved regions (CR), which have been suggested to be located near or at the active site of the alpha-amylase family enzymes. To identify by site-specific mutagenesis the critical residues that determine the broad substrate specificity of the SAM1606 enzyme we compared the CR sequences of these three glucosidases and selected five targets to be mutagenized in SAM1606 alpha-glucosidase, Met76, Arg81, Ala116, Gly273, and Thr342. These residues have been specifically replaced by in vitro mutagenesis with Asn, Ser, Val, Pro, and Asn, respectively, as in the Bacillus O16G. The 12 mutant enzymes with single and multiple substitutions were expressed and characterized kinetically. The results showed that the 5-fold mutation virtually abolished the affinity of the enzyme for alpha, alpha'-trehalose, whereas the specificity constant for the hydrolysis of isomaltose, a good substrate for both the SAM1606 enzyme and O16G, remained essentially unchanged upon the mutation. This loss in affinity for trehalose was critically governed by a Gly273 --> Pro substitution, whose effect was specifically enhanced by the Thr342 --> Asn substitution in the 5-fold and quadruple mutants. These results provide evidence for the differential roles of the amino acid residues in the CR in determining the substrate specificity of the alpha-glucosidase.

Abstract
Recent advances in the conformational analysis of oligosaccharides have focused on protein-bound oligosaccharides, glycopeptides, and glycoproteins, as well as on the conformational dynamics about glycosidic linkages. Significant progress has been made possible by dramatic improvements in NMR techniques and advances in computational chemistry and technology. Transferred nuclear Overhauser effects have been used to infer the conformations of carbohydrate ligands bound to protein receptors such as antibodies, lectins and enzymes. The increased use of combined NMR spectroscopic and computational protocols has resulted in insights into the dynamics of glycan chains.
