- An exo-β-(1→3)-d-galactanase from Streptomyces sp. provides insights into type II arabinogalactan structure
-
An exo-β-(1→3)-d-galactanase (SGalase1) that specifically cleaves the β-(1→3)-d-galactan backbone of arabinogalactan-proteins (AGPs) was isolated from culture filtrates of a soil Streptomyces sp. Internal peptide sequence information was used to clone and recombinantly express the gene in E. coli. The molecular mass of the isolated enzyme was ~45 kDa, similar to the 48.2 kDa mass predicted from the amino acid sequence. The pI, pH and temperature optima for the enzyme were ~7.45, 3.8 and 48 °C, respectively. The native and recombinant enzymes specifically hydrolysed β-(1→3)-d- galacto-oligo- or poly-saccharides from the upstream (non-reducing) end, typical of an exo-acting enzyme. A second homologous Streptomyces gene (SGalase2) was also cloned and expressed. SGalase2 was similar in size (47.9 kDa) and enzyme activity to SGalase1 but differed in its pH optimum (pH 5). Both SGalase1 and SGalase2 are predicted to belong to the CAZy glycosyl hydrolase family GH 43 based on activity, sequence homology and phylogenetic analysis. The K m and Vmax of the native exo-β-(1→3)-d- galactanase for de-arabinosylated gum arabic (dGA) were 19 mg/ml and 9.7 μmol d-Gal/min/mg protein, respectively. The activity of these enzymes is well suited for the study of type II galactan structures and provides an important tool for the investigation of the biological role of AGPs in plants. De-arabinosylated gum arabic (dGA) was used as a model to investigate the use of these enzymes in defining type II galactan structure. Exhaustive hydrolysis of dGA resulted in a limited number of oligosaccharide products with a trisaccharide of Gal2GlcA1 predominating.

- Characterization of a bacterial laminaribiose phosphorylase
-
Bacterial laminaribiose phosphorylase (LBPbac) was first identified and purified from cell-free extract of Paenibacillus sp. YM-1. It phosphorolyzed laminaribiose into α-glucose 1-phosphate and glucose, but did not phosphorolyze other glucobioses. It slightly phosphorolyzed laminaritriose and higher laminarioligosaccharides. The specificity of the degree of polymerization of the substrate was clearly different from that of the enzyme of Euglena gracilis (LBPEug): LBPbac was more specific to laminaribiose than LBPEug. It showed acceptor specificity in reverse phosphorolysis similar to LBPEug. Cloning of the gene encoding LBPbac (lbpA) has revealed that LBPbac is a member of the glucoside hydrolase family 94, which includes cellobiose phosphorylase, cellodextrin phosphorylase, and N,N0-diacetylchitobiose phosphorylase. The genes that encode the components of an ATP-binding cassette sugar transporter specific to laminarioligosaccharides were identified upstream of lbpA, suggesting that the role of LBPbac is to utilize laminaribiose generated outside the cell. This role is different from that of LBPEug, which participates in the utilization of paramylon, the intracellular storage 1,3-β-glucan.

- Thermus thermophilus glycosynthases for the efficient synthesis of galactosyl and glucosyl β-(1→3)-glycosides
-
Inverting mutant glycosynthases were designed according to the Withers strategy, starting from wild-type Thermus thermophilus retaining Tt-β-Gly glycosidase. Directed mutagenesis of catalytic nucleophile glutamate 338 by alanine, serine, and glycine afforded the E338A, E338S, and E338G mutant enzymes, respectively. As was to be expected, the mutants were unable to catalyze the hydrolysis of the transglycosidation products. In agreement with previous results, the E338S and E338G catalysts were much more efficient than E338A. Moreover, our results showed that these enzymes were inactive in the hydrolysis of the α-D-glycopyranosyl fluorides used as donors, and so suitable experimental conditions, under which the rate of spontaneous hydrolysis of the donor was considerably lower than that of enzymatic transglycosidation, provided galactosyl and glucosyl β-(1→3)-glycosides in yields of up to 90%. The structure of native Tt-β-Gly available in the Protein Data Bank offers a good basis for interpretation of our results by means of molecular modeling. Thus, in the case of the E338S mutant, a lower energy of the system was obtained when the donor and the acceptor were in the right position to form the β-(1→3)-glycosidic bond.

- 1-O-Acetyl-β-D-galactopyranose: A novel substrate for the transglycosylation reaction catalyzed by the β-galactosidase from Penicillium sp.
-
1-O-Acetyl-β-D-galactopyranose (AcGal), a new substrate for β-galactosidase, was synthesized in a stereoselective manner by the trichloroacetimidate procedure. Kinetic parameters (KM and kcat) for the hydrolysis of 1-O-acetyl-β-D-galactopyranose catalyzed by the β-D-galactosidase from Penicillium sp. were compared with similar characteristics for a number of natural and synthetic substrates. The value for kcat in the hydrolysis of AcGal was three orders of magnitude greater than for other known substrates. The β-galactosidase hydrolyzes AcGal with retention of anomeric configuration. The transglycosylation activity of the β-D-galactosidase in the reaction of AcGal and methyl β-D-galactopyranoside (1) as substrates was investigated by 1H NMR spectroscopy and HPLC techniques. The transglycosylation product using AcGal as a substrate was β-D-galactopyranosyl-(1→6)-1-O-acetyl-β-D-galactopyranose (with a yield of ~70%). In the case of 1 as a substrate, the main transglycosylation product was methyl β-D-galactopyranosyl-(1→6)-β-D-galactopyranoside. Methyl β-D-galactopyranosyl-(1→3)-β-D-galactopyranoside was found to be minor product in the latter reaction.

- A SIMPLE STRATEGY FOR CHANGING THE REGIOSELECTIVITY OF GLYCOSIDASE-CATALYSED FORMATION OF DISACCHARIDES
-
The regioselectivity of glycosidase-catalysed formation of disaccharides can be changed by using α- or β-glycosyl acceptors with various aglycons.The preponderant formation of other than (1->6) linkages can be effected with glycosidases which normally give (1->6) linkages.Thus, an α-D-galactosidase can be induced to catalyse the formation mainly of α-(1->2)-, α-(1->3)-, or α-(1->6)-linked digalctosides.Both the structure of the aglycon and the configuration of the glycosidic linkage can have a pronounced influence on the regioselectivity of disaccharide formation.Enzymic syntheses, in yields of 20-30percent, are described of α-D-Galp-(1->3)-α-D-Galp-OMe, β-D-Galp-(1->3)-β-D-Galp-OMe, β-D-Galp-(1->6)-α-D-Galp-OMe, α-D-Manp-(1->2)-α-D-Manp-OMe, α-D-Manp-(1->6)-α-D-Manp-OMe, α-D-Galp-(1->2)-α-D-Galp-OPhNO2-o, α-D-Galp-(1->3)-α-D-Galp-OPhNO2-p, α-D-Manp-(1->2)-α-D-Manp-OPhNO2-p, and α-D-Manp-(1->2)-α-D-Manp-(1->2)-α-D-Manp-OMe.Soluble and immobilised enzymes have been used.

- PREPARATION OF α AND Β ANOMERS OF VARIOUS ISOMERIC METHYL O-D-GALACTOPYRANOSYL-D-GALACTOPYRANOSIDES. STANDARDS FOR INTERPRETATION OF 13C-N.M.R. SPECTRA OF D-GALACTOPYRANANS
-
The four isomer of methyl O-β-D-galactopyranosyl-β-D-galactopyranoside were prepared by condensation of 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-α-galactopyranosyl bromide with appropriate, partially O-substitued derivatives of methyl β-D-galactopyranoside.Reaction of 3,4,6-tri-O-acetyl-1,2-O-(1-ethoxyethylidene)-α-D-galactopyranose with the same acceptors, in the presence of mercuric bromide, led to the formation of α and β linkages.Thus, it was possible to assign 13C-n.m.r. resonances of α and β anomers of methyl O-D-galactopyranosyl-β-D-galactopyranosides.In terms of application of these shift values and those of related D-galactobioses to the structual analysis of D-galactopyranans by shift comparisons, some generalizations can be made.For β-D-galactopyranans, the resonances glycosyloxylated carbon atoms of methyl O-β-D-galactopyranosyl-β-D-galactopyranosides are sensitive to structure and appear to have typical values, whereas limited variation was observed with shift of C-1' signals.On the other hand, for assigning structures to D-galactopyranans containing α linkages, the C-1' shifts (at higher field) of methyl O-α-D-galactopyranosyl-β-D-galactopyranosidesc are sensitive to linkage position, whereas those of glycosyloxylated carbon atoms vary only a little.
