Degradation of phytate by the 6-phytase from Hafnia alvei: a combined structural and solution study.

ABSTRACT: Phytases hydrolyse phytate (myo-inositol hexakisphosphate), the principal form of phosphate stored in plant seeds to produce phosphate and lower phosphorylated myo-inositols. They are used extensively in the feed industry, and have been characterised biochemically and structurally with a number of structures in the PDB. They are divided into four distinct families: histidine acid phosphatases (HAP), ?-propeller phytases, cysteine phosphatases and purple acid phosphatases and also split into three enzyme classes, the 3-, 5- and 6-phytases, depending on the position of the first phosphate in the inositol ring to be removed. We report identification, cloning, purification and 3D structures of 6-phytases from two bacteria, Hafnia alvei and Yersinia kristensenii, together with their pH optima, thermal stability, and degradation profiles for phytate. An important result is the structure of the H. alvei enzyme in complex with the substrate analogue myo-inositol hexakissulphate. In contrast to the only previous structure of a ligand-bound 6-phytase, where the 3-phosphate was unexpectedly in the catalytic site, in the H. alvei complex the expected scissile 6-phosphate (sulphate in the inhibitor) is placed in the catalytic site.

Project description:This study was conducted to determine effects of high phytase use on growth performance, amino acid (AA) digestibility, intestinal phytate breakdown, and nutrient transporter expression in starter broiler chickens. Male Ross 308 chicks were allocated to 24 pens, at 15 birds/pen and assigned to one of 4 dietary treatments. Treatments were: a control diet (PCa+) that contained adequate levels of calcium (Ca) and phosphorus (P) for growing broiler chicks; a reduced Ca and P diet (PCa-:-1.5 g P/kg and -1.6 g Ca/kg), and 2 additional diets in which phytase was supplemented in the PCa- diet at 1,500 (PCa-Phy1500) and 3,000 (PCa-Phy3000) FTU/kg feed. A common starter diet was fed from day 1 to 8. From day 8 to 22, birds were fed the 4 experimental diets. On day 22, birds were killed for sample collection. From day 8 to 15, average daily gain and average daily feed intake were not different across treatments (P < 0.05) but gain-to-feed ratio (G:F) was reduced (P < 0.006) in the PCa- treatment compared with other treatments. There were no further performance differences, but a tendency of phytase treatments improving the overall G:F (P = 0.079; day 8-22). Up to both the duodenum-jejunum and ileum, phytate, P, and Ca disappearance were increased (P < 0.05) in the PCa-Phy1500 and PCa-Phy3000 treatments compared with PCa- treatment. Phytase dose dependently increased myoinositol (MI) concentration in the digesta from both the duodenum-jejunum and ileum (P < 0.001). The highest concentration of MI was found in the PCa-Phy3000 treatment. Plasma MI concentration was increased by phytase supplementation (P < 0.001). Prececal disappearance of Cys was lower (P < 0.05) in the PCa- treatment than in PCa1and PCa-Phy3000 treatment. Expression of MUC2 in the duodenum-jejunum was higher (P < 0.05) in the PCa-Phy3000 treatment than in other treatments. Phytase-induced hydrolysis of phytate led to elevated digesta and plasma MI concentrations and reduced digesta concentrations of phytate breakdown intermediates.
