Characterization of an Alkaline Alginate Lyase with pH-Stable and Thermo-Tolerance Property.

ABSTRACT: Alginate oligosaccharides (AOS) show versatile bioactivities. Although various alginate lyases have been characterized, enzymes with special characteristics are still rare. In this study, a polysaccharide lyase family 7 (PL7) alginate lyase-encoding gene, aly08, was cloned from the marine bacterium Vibrio sp. SY01 and expressed in Escherichia coli. The purified alginate lyase Aly08, with a molecular weight of 35 kDa, showed a specific activity of 841 U/mg at its optimal pH (pH 8.35) and temperature (45 °C). Aly08 showed good pH-stability, as it remained more than 80% of its initial activity in a wide pH range (4.0-10.0). Aly08 was also a thermo-tolerant enzyme that recovered 70.8% of its initial activity following heat shock treatment for 5 min. This study also demonstrated that Aly08 is a polyG-preferred enzyme. Furthermore, Aly08 degraded alginates into disaccharides and trisaccharides in an endo-manner. Its thermo-tolerance and pH-stable properties make Aly08 a good candidate for further applications.

Project description:Enzymatic depolymerization of seaweed polysaccharides is gaining interest for the production of functional oligosaccharides and fermentable sugars. Herein, we describe a thermostable alginate lyase that belongs to polysaccharide lyase family 17 (PL17) and was derived from an Arctic Mid-Ocean Ridge (AMOR) metagenomics data set. This enzyme, AMOR_PL17A, is a thermostable exolytic oligoalginate lyase (EC 4.2.2.26), which can degrade alginate, poly-β-d-mannuronate, and poly-α-l-guluronate within a broad range of pHs, temperatures, and salinity conditions. Site-directed mutagenesis showed that tyrosine Y251, previously suggested to act as a catalytic acid, indeed is essential for catalysis, whereas mutation of tyrosine Y446, previously proposed to act as a catalytic base, did not affect enzyme activity. The observed reaction products are protonated and deprotonated forms of the 4,5-unsaturated uronic acid monomer, Δ, two hydrates of DEH (4-deoxy-l-erythro-5-hexulosuronate), which are formed after ring opening, and, finally, two epimers of a 5-member hemiketal called 4-deoxy-d-manno-hexulofuranosidonate (DHF), formed through intramolecular cyclization of hydrated DEH. The detection and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) assignment of these hemiketals refine our current understanding of alginate degradation.IMPORTANCE The potential markets for seaweed-derived products and seaweed processing technologies are growing, yet commercial enzyme cocktails for complete conversion of seaweed to fermentable sugars are not available. Such an enzyme cocktail would require the catalytic properties of a variety of different enzymes, where fucoidanases, laminarinases, and cellulases together with endo- and exo-acting alginate lyases would be the key enzymes. Here, we present an exo-acting alginate lyase that efficiently produces monomeric sugars from alginate. Since it is only the second characterized exo-acting alginate lyase capable of degrading alginate at a high industrially relevant temperature (≥60°C), this enzyme may be of great biotechnological and industrial interest. In addition, in-depth NMR-based structural elucidation revealed previously undescribed rearrangement products of the unsaturated monomeric sugars generated from exo-acting lyases. The insight provided by the NMR assignment of these products facilitates future assessment of product formation by alginate lyases.
