Abstract
An α-l-Rhamnosidase gene with an open reading frame of 3192 bp encoding a 1036-amino acid protein (EhRha) was cloned from Emiliania huxleyi for flavonoid hydrolysis on the cell surface of Pichia pastoris (P. pastoris) strain GS115 by fusing with the anchor protein (AGα1) from Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Fluorescence microscopy and flow cytometry assays revealed that EhRha was successfully displayed on the cell surface of P. pastoris GS115. The enzyme activity assay and substrate specificity analysis showed that the enzyme activity of displayed EhRha was 78 U/g (cell wet weight). EhRha demonstrated a preference for the α-1,6 linkage l-rhamnose in hesperidin and rutin as its optimal substrates, while showing low activity towards the α-1,2 linkage l-rhamnose in naringin. Furthermore, EhRha demonstrated optimal activity at pH 7.0 and 30 °C, maintaining stability within a pH range of 4.5–9.0 at temperatures below 50 °C, and remained functional at temperatures ranging from 15 °C–30 °C. The enzyme activity was significantly enhanced by the presence of 10 mM Mn2+ and Fe3+, whereas 10 mM Ca2+ and 1 mM Fe3+ had an inhibitory effect. These findings suggested that displayed EhRha holds promise for enhancing the bioavailability of health-beneficial polyphenols in low-temperature processing applications.
期刊介绍:
Bioorganic Chemistry publishes research that addresses biological questions at the molecular level, using organic chemistry and principles of physical organic chemistry. The scope of the journal covers a range of topics at the organic chemistry-biology interface, including: enzyme catalysis, biotransformation and enzyme inhibition; nucleic acids chemistry; medicinal chemistry; natural product chemistry, natural product synthesis and natural product biosynthesis; antimicrobial agents; lipid and peptide chemistry; biophysical chemistry; biological probes; bio-orthogonal chemistry and biomimetic chemistry.
For manuscripts dealing with synthetic bioactive compounds, the Journal requires that the molecular target of the compounds described must be known, and must be demonstrated experimentally in the manuscript. For studies involving natural products, if the molecular target is unknown, some data beyond simple cell-based toxicity studies to provide insight into the mechanism of action is required. Studies supported by molecular docking are welcome, but must be supported by experimental data. The Journal does not consider manuscripts that are purely theoretical or computational in nature.
The Journal publishes regular articles, short communications and reviews. Reviews are normally invited by Editors or Editorial Board members. Authors of unsolicited reviews should first contact an Editor or Editorial Board member to determine whether the proposed article is within the scope of the Journal.
