Enhanced in situ H₂O₂ production explains synergy between an LPMO with a cellulose-binding domain and a single-domain LPMO.

ABSTRACT: Lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs) are mono-copper enzymes that catalyze oxidative depolymerization of recalcitrant substrates such as chitin or cellulose. Recent work has shown that LPMOs catalyze fast peroxygenase reactions and that, under commonly used reaction set-ups, access to in situ generated H₂O₂ likely limits catalysis. Based on a hypothesis that the impact of a cellulose-binding module (CBM) on LPMO activity could relate to changes in in situ H₂O₂ production, we have assessed the interplay between CBM-containing ScLPMO10C and its truncated form comprising the catalytic domain only (ScLPMO10C_TR). The results show that truncation of the linker and CBM leads to elevated H₂O₂ production and decreased enzyme stability. Most interestingly, combining the two enzyme forms yields strong synergistic effects, which are due to the combination of high H₂O₂ generation by ScLPMO10C_TR and efficient productive use of H₂O₂ by the full-length enzyme. Thus, cellulose degradation becomes faster, while enzyme inactivation due to off-pathway reactions with excess H₂O₂ is reduced. These results underpin the complexity of ascorbic acid-driven LPMO reactions and reveal a potential mechanism for how LPMOs may interact synergistically during cellulose degradation.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Several types of phospholipases have been described in phospholipids modification. The majority of phospholipase D (PLD) superfamily members can catalyze two separate reactions: the hydrolysis of phospholipids to produce phosphatidic acid (PA) and the transphosphatidylation of phosphatidyl groups into various phosphatidyl alcohols to produce modified phospholipids. Transphosphatidylation is a useful biocatalytic method for the synthesis of functional phospholipids from lecithin or phosphatidylcholine (PC), which are both easily accessible. Different PLD coding genes have been cloned from various sources from viral, prokaryotic, and eukaryotic organisms. Despite the catalytic potential of PLD, their low productivity has hampered their practical applications, probably because PLD, which is highly toxic to the host cells, when transformation of the PLD genes into the host cells, degrade PLs in the cell membrane. In this study, we designed a novel two-step expression system to produce and secrete recombinant PLD in extracellular medium, cellulose-binding domains as an affinity fused with PLD for immobilization and purification proteins. RESULTS:The engineered BL21 (DE3) host strain, which harbored the final expression vector pET28a-PLD-CBD-araC-ESN, was induced by IPTG and L-arabinose, the cell density decreased rapidly over a 2 h period and the enzymes released into the extracellular medium accounts owned 81.75% hydrolytic activity. Scanning electron microscopy results showed that there were obvious structural changes on the cell surface. The extracellularly secreted PLD-CBD powder was used to catalyze the transphosphatidylation reaction synthesis of phosphatidylserine, 2.3 U enzymes reacted for 12 h, during which the conversion rate reached 99% with very few by-products being produced. When the fused protein PLD-CBD immobilized on microcrystalline cellulose, the enzymes can be cycle used five times with 26% conversion rate was preserved. CONCLUSIONS:This study introduced an effective method for use in the expression of recombinant proteins and their extracellular secretion that simplifies the steps of sonication and purification and demonstrates great potential in the industrial application of enzymes. Cellulose as the most abundant renewable biomass resources in nature, and the cost is low, used for PLD immobilization make it more simple, effective and sustainable.

Project description:BackgroundThe recently discovered PcAA14A and B from white-rot basidiomycete Pycnoporus coccineus enriched our understanding of the oxidative degradation of xylan in fungi, however, the unusual mode of action of AA14 LPMOs has sparked controversy. The substrate specificity and functionality of AA14 LPMOs still remain enigmatic and need further investigation.ResultsIn this study, a novel AA14 LPMO was characterized from the ascomycete Talaromyces rugulosus. TrAA14A has a broad substrate specificity with strong oxidative activity on pure amorphous cellulose and xyloglucan. It could simultaneously oxidize cellulose, xylan and xyloglucan in natural hemi/cellulosic substrate such as fibrillated eucalyptus pulp, and released native and oxidized cello-oligosaccharides, xylo-oligosaccharides and xyloglucan oligosaccharides from this substrate, but its cellulolytic/hemicellulolytic activity became weaker as the contents of xylan increase in the alkaline-extracted hemi/cellulosic substrates. The dual cellulolytic/hemicellulolytic activity enables TrAA14A to possess a profound boosting effect on cellulose hydrolysis by cellulolytic enzymes. Structure modelling of TrAA14A revealed that it exhibits a relatively flat active-site surface similar to the active-site surfaces in AA9 LPMOs but quite distinct from PcAA14B, despite TrAA14A is strongly clustered together with AA14 LPMOs. Remarkable difference in electrostatic potentials of L2 and L3 surfaces was also observed among TrAA14A, PcAA14B and NcLPMO9F. We speculated that the unique feature in substrate-binding surface might contribute to the cellulolytic/hemicellulolytic activity of TrAA14A.ConclusionsThe extensive cellulolytic/hemicellulolytic activity on natural hemi/cellulosic substrate indicated that TrAA14A from ascomycete is distinctively different from previously characterized xylan-active AA9 or AA14 LPMOs. It may play as a bifunctional enzyme to decompose some specific network structures formed between cellulose and hemicellulose in the plant cell walls. Our findings shed new insights into the novel substrate specificities and biological functionalities of AA14 LPMOs, and will contribute to developing novel bifunctional LPMOs as the booster in commercial cellulase cocktails to efficiently break down the hemicellulose-cellulose matrix in lignocellulose.
