biochemical characterization of a Beta Fructofuranosidase from rhodotorula dairenensis with transfructosylating activity
Fems Yeast Research, 2009Co-Authors: Patricia Gutierrezalonso, Lucia Fernandezarrojo, Francisco J Plou, Maria FernandezlobatoAbstract:: An extracellular Beta-Fructofuranosidase from the yeast Rhodotorula dairenensis was characterized biochemically. The enzyme molecular mass was estimated to be 680 kDa by analytical gel filtration and 172 kDa by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, of which the N-linked carbohydrate accounts for 16% of the total mass. It displays optimum activity at pH 5 and 55-60 degrees C. The enzyme shows broad substrate specificity, hydrolyzing sucrose, 1-kestose, nystose, leucrose, raffinose and inulin. Although the main reaction catalyzed by this enzyme is sucrose hydrolysis, it also exhibits transfructosylating activity that, unlike other microbial Beta-Fructofuranosidases, produces a varied type of prebiotic fructooligosaccharides containing Beta-(2-->1)- and Beta-(2-->6)-linked fructose oligomers. The maximum concentration of fructooligosaccharides was reached at 75% sucrose conversion and it was 87.9 g L(-1). The 17.0% (w/w) referred to the total amount of sugars in the reaction mixture. At this point, the amounts of 6-kestose, neokestose, 1-kestose and tetrasaccharides were 68.9, 10.6, 2.6 and 12.7 g L(-1), respectively.

molecular and biochemical characterization of a Beta Fructofuranosidase from xanthophyllomyces dendrorhous
Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 2009Co-Authors: Dolores Linde, Isabel Macias, Lucia Fernandezarrojo, Francisco J Plou, Antonio J Jimenez, Maria FernandezlobatoAbstract:: An extracellular Beta-Fructofuranosidase from the yeast Xanthophyllomyces dendrorhous was characterized biochemically, molecularly, and phylogenetically. This enzyme is a glycoprotein with an estimated molecular mass of 160 kDa, of which the N-linked carbohydrate accounts for 60% of the total mass. It displays optimum activity at pH 5.0 to 6.5, and its thermophilicity (with maximum activity at 65 to 70 degrees C) and thermostability (with a T(50) in the range 66 to 71 degrees C) is higher than that exhibited by most yeast invertases. The enzyme was able to hydrolyze fructosyl-Beta-(2-->1)-linked carbohydrates such as sucrose, 1-kestose, or nystose, although its catalytic efficiency, defined by the k(cat)/K(m) ratio, indicates that it hydrolyzes sucrose approximately 4.2 times more efficiently than 1-kestose. Unlike other microbial Beta-Fructofuranosidases, the enzyme from X. dendrorhous produces neokestose as the main transglycosylation product, a potentially novel bifidogenic trisaccharide. Using a 41% (wt/vol) sucrose solution, the maximum fructooligosaccharide concentration reached was 65.9 g liter(-1). In addition, we isolated and sequenced the X. dendrorhous Beta-Fructofuranosidase gene (Xd-INV), showing that it encodes a putative mature polypeptide of 595 amino acids and that it shares significant identity with other fungal, yeast, and plant Beta-Fructofuranosidases, all members of family 32 of the glycosyl-hydrolases. We demonstrate that the Xd-INV could functionally complement the suc2 mutation of Saccharomyces cerevisiae and, finally, a structural model of the new enzyme based on the homologous invertase from Arabidopsis thaliana has also been obtained.

characterization of recombinant Beta Fructofuranosidase from bifidobacterium adolescentis g1
Chemistry Central Journal, 2010Co-Authors: Toshima Omori, Keiji Ueno, Kei Muramatsu, Masanori Kikuchi, Shuichi Onodera, Norio ShiomiAbstract:BACKGROUND: We have previously reported on purification and characterization of Beta-Fructofuranosidase (Beta-FFase) from Bifidobacterium adolescentis G1. This enzyme showed high activity of hydrolysis on fructo-oligosaccharides with a low degree of polymerization. Recently, genome sequences of B. longum NCC2705 and B. adolescentis ATCC 15703 were determined, and cscA gene in the both genome sequences encoding Beta-FFase was predicted. Here, cloning of cscA gene encoding putative Beta-FFase from B. adolescentis G1, its expression in E. coli and properties of the recombinant protein are described. RESULTS: Using the information of cscA gene from Bifidobacterium adolescentis ATCC 15703, cscA gene from B. adolescentis G1 was cloned and sequenced. The N-terminal amino acid sequence of purified Beta-FFase from B. adolescentis G1 was identical to the deduced amino acid sequences of cscA gene from B. adolescentis G1. To confirm the translated product of the cscA gene, the recombinant protein was expressed in Escherichia coli. Molecular mass of the purified recombinant enzyme was estimated to be about 66,000 by SDS-PAGE and 60,300 by MALDI TOF-MS. The optimum pH of the enzyme was 5.7 and the enzyme was stable at pH 5.0-8.6. The thermostability of the enzyme was up to 50 degrees C. The K(m) (mM), Vmax (micromol/mg of protein/min), k0 (sec(-1)) and k0/K(m)(mM(-1) sec(-1)) for 1-kestose, neokestose, nystose, fructosylnystose, sucrose and inulin were 1.7, 107, 107.5, 63.2, and 1.7, 142, 142.7, 83.9, and 3.9, 152, 152.8, 39.2, and 2.2, 75, 75.4, 34.3, and 38, 79, 79.4, 2.1, and 25.9, 77, 77.4, 3.0, respectively. The hydrolytic activity was strongly inhibited by AgNO3, SDS, and HgCl2. CONCLUSION: The recombinant enzyme had similar specificity to the native enzyme, high affinity for 1-kestose, and low affinity for sucrose and inulin, although properties of the recombinant enzyme showed slight difference from those of the native one previously described.
