호알칼리성 Bacillus sp. YC-335가 생산하는 CGTase의 효소학적 특성 및 작용반응을 살펴보았다. ${\alpha}-CD,\;{\beta}-CD$ 및 ${\gamma}-CD$로부터 glucosyl residues를 설탕으로 전이시키는 반응에 대한 효소의 최대 반응속도, Vmax 값은 각각 $16.13,\;21.8,\;9.8{\mu}moles glucose/min/mg\;protein$이었으며 Km 값은 각각 1.68, 0.33, 0.37 mM이었다. 효소의 전분 가수분해활성은 여러 당류에 의해 촉진되었으며 특히 전분 가수분해 산물인 maltose와 glucose에 의한 효과가 가장 좋았다. 이 효소는 ${\beta}CD$에 의해 효소의 전분 분해활성이 저해되었으며 비경쟁적 저해형식을 보였다. 또한 전분으로부터 효소작용에 의해 생성된 산물을 총당량법 및 HPLC 분석을 통해 조사한 결과 이 효소는 cyclization 작용 뿐만 아니라 transglycosylation 작용과 disproportionation 작용을 가지는 것으로 확인하였다.

The isoform 1 of cyclodextrin glycosyltransferase (CGTase, EC 2.4.1.19) from Paenibacillus sp. A11 was purified by a preparative gel electrophoresis. The importance of histidine, tryptophan, tyrosine, and carboxylic amino acids for isoform 1 activity is suggested by the modification of the isoform 1 with various group-specific reagents. Activity loss, when incubated with diethylpyrocarbonate (DEP), a histidine modifying reagent, could be protected by adding 25 mM methyl-$\beta$-cyclodextrin substrate prior to the modification. Inactivation kinetics of isoform 1 with DEP resulted in second-order rate constants ($k_{inactivation}$) of $29.5\;M^{-1}s^{-1}$. The specificity of the DEP-modified reaction for the histidine residue was shown by the correlation between the loss of isoform activity and the increase in the absorbance at 246 nm of N-carbethoxyhistidine. The number of histidines that were modified by DEP in the absence and presence of a protective substrate was estimated from the increase in the absorbance using a specific extinction coefficient of N-carbethoxyhistidine of $3,200\;M^{-1}cm^{-1}$. It was discovered that methyl-$\beta$-CD protected per mole of isoform 1, two histidine residues from the modification by DEP. To localize essential histidines, the native, the DEP-modified, and the protected forms of isoform 1 were digested by trypsin. The resulting peptides were separated by HPLC. The peptides of interest were those with $R_t$ 11.34 and 40.93 min. The molecular masses of the two peptides were 5,732 and 2,540 daltons, respectively. When the data from the peptide analysis were checked with the sequence of CGTase, then His-140 and His-327 were identified as essential histidines in the active site of isoform 1.

The epipyrone (EPN) biosynthetic gene cluster of Epicoccum nigrum is composed of epnC, epnB, and epnA, which encode cytochrome P450 oxidase, glycosyltransferase, and highly reducing polyketide synthase, respectively. Gene inactivation mutants for epnA, epnB, and epnC were previously generated, and it was found that all of them were incapable of producing EPN and any of its related compounds. It was also reported that epnB inactivation abolished epnA transcription, generating ΔepnAB. This study shows that the introduction of native epnC readily restored EPN production in ΔepnC, suggesting that epnC is essential for polyketide release from EpnA and implies that EpnC works during the polyketide chain assembly of EpnA. Introduction of epnC promoter-epnA restored EPN production in ΔepnA. The ΔepnB genotype was prepared by introducing the epnA expression vector into ΔepnAB, and it was found that the resulting recombinant strain did not produce any EPN-related compounds. A canonical epnB inactivation strain was also generated by deleting its 5'-end. At the deletion point, an Aspergllus nidulans gpdA promoter was inserted to ensure the transcription of epnA, which is located downstream of epnB. Examination of the metabolite profile of the resulting ΔepnB mutant via LC-mass spectrometry verified that no EPN-related compound was produced in this strain. This substantiates that C-glycosylation by EpnB is a prerequisite for the release of EpnA-tethered product. In conclusion, it is proposed that cytochrome P450 oxidase and glycosyltransferase work in concert with polyketide synthase to generate EPN without the occurrence of any free intermediates.

Chalcones exhibit multiple biological activities. Various studies have attempted to modify the structure of chalcones with a special focus on the addition of substituents to the benzene rings. However, these chemical modifications did not improve the water solubility and bioavailability of chalcones. Glycosylation can markedly affect the physical and chemical properties of hydrophobic compounds. Here, we evaluated the ability of a highly promiscuous glycosyltransferase (GT) BsGT1 from Bacillus subtilis ATCC 6633 to biosynthesize chalcone glucosides. Purified BsGT1 catalyzed the conversion of 4'-hydroxychalcone (compound 1), 4'-hydroxy-4-methylchalcone (compound 2), and 4-hydroxy-4'-methoxychalcone (compound 3), into chalcone 4'-O-β-D-glucoside (compound 1a), 4-methylchalcone 4'-O-β-D-glucoside (compound 2a), and 4'-methoxychalcone 4-O-β-D-glucoside (compound 3a), respectively. To avoid the addition of expensive uridine diphosphate glucose (UDP-Glc), a whole-cell biotransformation system was employed to provide a natural intracellular environment for in situ co-factor regeneration. The yields of compounds 1a, 2a, and 3a were as high as 90.38%, 100% and 74.79%, respectively. The successful co-expression of BsGT1 with phosphoglucomutase (PGM) and UDP-Glc pyrophosphorylase (GalU), which are involved in the biosynthetic pathway of UDP-Glc, further improved the conversion rates of chalcones (the yields of compounds 1a and 3a increased by approximately 10%). In conclusion, we demonstrated an effective whole-cell biocatalytic system for the enzymatic biosynthesis of chalcone β-D-glucoside derivatives.

Bacillus firmus가 생산하는 cyclodextrin glycosyltran-sferase(CGTase)를 ammonium sulfate 침전, DEAE-Sephadex A-50 및 Sephdex G-100 column chromatography로 분리, 정제하였다. 이 방법으로 수율은 12%, 정제도는 49배인 SDS-PAGE 상에서 단일 band의 효소 단백질을 얻을 수 있었다. 정제된 CGTase는 Phast system의 SDS-polyacrylamide gel 전기영동에 의하여 분자량은 80,000dalton, isoelectric focusing으로 등전점은 9.6으로 추정되는 단백질이었다. 이 효소의 최적 활성 pH와 온도는 8.0, $65^{\circ}C$이였으며, pH와 열안정성은 $pH\;5.5{\sim}9.0$, $50^{\circ}C$이였다.
