Improve thermostability of Bacillus sp. TS chitosanase through structure-based alignment
2021
Overview
Chitosanases can catalyze the release of chitooligosaccharides which have a number of medical applications. Therefore, Chitosanases are good candidates for large-scale enzymatic synthesis due to their favorable thermostability properties and high catalytic efficiency. To further improve the thermostability of a chitosanase from
Bacillus
sp. TS, which has a half-life of 5.32 min, we mutated specific serine residues that we identified as potentially relevant through structure comparison with thermophilic CelA from
Clostridium thermocellum
. Out of a total of 15 mutants, three, namely S265G, S276A, and S347G, show higher thermostability. Their half-lives at 60 °C were calculated as 34.57 min, 36.79 min and 7.2 min. The
K
m
values of S265G, S276A and S347G mutants show substrate binding ability comparable to that of the wild-type enzyme, while the S265G mutant displays a significant decrease of enzymatic activities. Additionally, we studied the synergistic effects of combined mutations, observing that all double mutants and the triple mutant are more stable than the wild-type enzyme and single mutants. Finally, we investigated the mechanisms which might give a reasonable explanation for the improved thermostability via comparative analysis of the resulting 3D structures.
