Each of the hundreds of compounds produced by caramelization reactions is considered to possess its own characteristics. Various studies from the viewpoints of biology and biochemistry have been conducted to elucidate some of the scientific characteristics. Here, we review the composition of caramelized sugars and then describe the enzymatic studies that have been conducted and the physiological functions of the caramelized sugar components that have been elucidated. In particular, we recently identified a glycoside hydrolase (GH), GH172 difructose dianhydride I synthase/hydrolase (αFFase1), from oral and intestinal bacteria, which is implicated in the degradation of oligosaccharides in caramel. The structural basis of αFFase1 and its ligands provided many insights. This discovery opened the door to several research fields, including the structural and phylogenetic relationship between the GH172 family enzymes and viral capsid proteins and the degradation of cell membrane glycans of acid-fast bacteria by some αFFase1 homologs.

Both secreted and cell surface human EGFDs are subject to extensive modifications, including aspartate and asparagine residue C3-hydroxylations catalyzed by the 2-oxoglutarate oxygenase aspartate/asparagine-β-hydroxylase (AspH). Although genetic studies show AspH is important in human biology, studies on its physiological roles have been limited by incomplete knowledge of its substrates. Here, we redefine the consensus sequence requirements for AspH-catalyzed EGFD hydroxylation based on combined analysis of proteomic mass spectrometric data and mass spectrometry-based assays with isolated AspH and peptide substrates. We provide cellular and biochemical evidence that the preferred site of EGFD hydroxylation is embedded within a disulfide-bridged macrocycle formed of 10 amino acid residues. This definition enabled the identification of previously unassigned hydroxylation sites in three EGFDs of human fibulins as AspH substrates. A non-EGFD containing protein, lymphocyte antigen-6/plasminogen activator urokinase receptor domain containing protein 6B (LYPD6B) was shown to be a substrate for isolated AspH, but we did not observe evidence for LYPD6B hydroxylation in cells. AspH-catalyzed hydroxylation of fibulins is of particular interest given their important roles in extracellular matrix dynamics. In conclusion, these results lead to a revision of the consensus substrate requirements for AspH and expand the range of observed and potential AspH-catalyzed hydroxylation in cells, which will enable future study of the biological roles of AspH.</p>","PeriodicalId":91947,"journal":{"name":"Procedia manufacturing","volume":"3 1","pages":"102129"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9293771/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82162115","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

New business cases can be generated also for individual Small and Medium Enterprises (SME) by taking advantage of the connection with the Industry 4.0 opportunities and by building on cross-sectorial markets and the potential of digital solutions. The operational services (DOS) presented in this paper are the key part of a novel digital platform called DigiPrime, whose aim is to provide SME with a federated service infrastructure that help overcome the current information asymmetry and explore the possibility to access and transit towards a CE cross-sectorial value-chain.
