Abstract

The composition and properties of the enzyme preparation celloconingine P10x were studied. The preparation contained a number of citolytic enzymes and showed proteolytic and amylolytic activities. Optimal conditions for the enzyme action were found to be: for total citolytic and hemicellulase activities pH 5.2-6.2 and 45-55 degrees, for endo-beta-glucanase activity pH 4.2-5.2 and 58-62 degrees, for proteolytic activity pH 4.0-4.8 and 64-68 degrees, and for amylolytic activity pH 3.6-4.2 and 60-66 degrees C.

Mining metagenomes from extremophiles as a resource for novel glycoside hydrolases for industrial applications.

The exploration of metagenomes from extremophiles has emerged as a promising approach for discovering novel glycoside hydrolases (GHs) with potential industrial applications. Extremophiles, which thrive in harsh conditions such as high salinity, extreme temperatures, and acidic or alkaline environments, produce enzymes naturally adapted to function under these conditions. This unique adaptability makes them highly desirable for industrial processes requiring robust and efficient biocatalysts. These biocatalysts reduce reliance on harsh chemicals and energy-intensive processes, contributing to greener industrial operations. This review underscores the power of metagenomics in bypassing the need to culture large libraries of extremophiles in the lab. High-throughput sequencing and bioinformatics enable the identification of novel GH-encoding genes directly from environmental DNA. While metagenomic mining has yielded promising results, challenges such as the expression of extremophile-derived genes in mesophilic hosts, low activity yields, and scalability remain. Advances in synthetic biology and protein engineering could address these bottlenecks, enabling more efficient utilization of GHs. Additionally, integrating machine learning for predictive functional annotation may accelerate the identification of high-value candidates.

Salmonella phage glycanases: substrate specificity of the phage P22 endo-rhamnosidase.

Interaction between phage P22 and phenol-water extracted lipopolysaccharides from sensitive Salmonella bacteria belonging to serogroups A, B and Di results in hydrolysis of the alpha-L-rhamnosyl linkages within the tetrasaccharide repeating unit of the O-antigenic polysaccharide chain. These O-antigens have identical structures except for the nature of the 3,6-dideoxy-hexosyl group linked to O-3 of the D-mannosyl residue. Removal of the dideoxysugar, or periodate oxidation followed by borohydride reduction of the L-rhamnosyl residue made the O chain resistant to the endo-rhamnosidase. Substitution of the D-galactosyl residue at O-4, but not at O-6, with an alpha-D-glucosyl group was compatible with hydrolysis. A number of Klebsiella pneumoniae and Shigella flexneri lipo- or capsular polysaccharides containing chain L-rhamnosyl residues were tested but none was sensitive to the P22 endo-rhamnosidase. The substrate specificity of the endo-rhamnosidase parallels the lytic specificity of the phage which suggests that the initial step in phage P22 infection is a P22 tail enzyme O-antigen substrate interaction. The main product of the hydrolysate was octa-, dodeca- and hexadecasaccharides. Treatment of phage FO resistant smooth strains of S. typhimurium with P22 tails removed O polysaccharide chains and made previously 'hidden' FO receptors accessible to the phage.

Salmonella bacteriophage glycanases: endorhamnosidases of Salmonella typhimurium bacteriophages.

Twelve bacteriphages lysing only smooth Salmonella typhimurium strains were shown to have similar morphology--an icosahedric head to which a short, noncontractile tail carrying six spikes was attached. All phages degraded their lipopolysaccharide (LPS) receptors as shown by their ability to cleave off [14C]galactosyl-containing oligosaccharides from S. typhimurium cells labeled in their LPS. The oligosaccharides inhibited the alpha-D-galactosyl-specific Bandeiraea simplicifolia lectin agglutination of human type B erythrocytes, indicating that all 12 phage glycanases were of endorhamnosidase specificity, i.e., hydrolyzed the alpha-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1 leads to 3)-D-galactopyranosyl linkage in the S. typhimurium O-polysaccharide chain. Two of the phages, 28B and 36, were studied in more detail. Whereas the phage 28B glycanase hydrolyzed the S. typhimurium LPS into dodeca- and octasaccharides, the phage 36 glycanase in addition cleaved off tetrasaccharides. Both phage enzymes hydrolyzed the O-polysaccharide chains of LPS from Salmonella belonging to serogroups A, B, and D1, which are built up of tetrasaccharide-repeating units identical except for the nature of the 3,6-dideoxyhexopyranosyl group (R). : FORMULA:(SEE TEXT). The phage 28B and 36 endorhamnosidases hydrolyzed also an LPS from which the 3,6-dideoxyhexosyl substituents had previously been hydrolyzed off. However, neither of the enzymes was active on LPS preparations in which the C2-C3 bond of the L-rhamnopyranosyl ring had been opened by periodate oxidation. Glucosylation at O-6 of the D-galactopyranosyl residues in the S. typhimurium LPS was found to be incompatible with hydrolysis by both enzymes. However, in an LPS glucosylated at O-4 of the D-galactopyranosyl residues, the adjacent alpha-L-rhamnopyranosyl linkages were found to be perferentially cleaved.
