Abstract

Chitin biomass is the second most abundant natural polysaccharide after cellulose on the earth, yet its recalcitrance to degrade and utilize severely limits its application. However, many microorganisms, such as Serratia marcescen, can secrete a range of free chitinases to degrade chitin, though their activity is typically insufficient to meet industrial demands. In this study, we employed self-assembly systems, named SpyTag/SpyCatcher and SnoopTag/SnoopCatcher, to modularize the molecular design of CHB, ChiB, ChiC, and CBP21 derived from S. marcescens ATCC14756, and we successfully constructed a variety of chitinase complexes. The assembled complexes showed higher chitinolytic activity and stability, compared to free chitinase mixture. Moreover, the distinct arrangements and combinations of chitinases within these complexes led to varied activities, suggesting that the spatial proximity and substrate channeling effects contribute to the synergy of chitinase complexes. The findings lay a solid technical foundation for the application of chitinosome in the industrial production of N-acetylglucosamine and chitooligosaccharides.
