Substrate specificity mapping of fungal CAZy AA3_2 oxidoreductases

Open access

Preprint — published as 10.1186/s13068-024-02491-8

Abstract

Background Oxidative enzymes targeting lignocellulosic substrates are presently classified into various auxiliary activity (AA) families within the carbohydrate-active enzyme (CAZy) database. Among these, the fungal AA3 glucose–methanol–choline (GMC) oxidoreductases with varying auxiliary activities are attractive sustainable biocatalysts and important for biological function. CAZy AA3 enzymes are further subdivided into four subfamilies, with the large AA3_2 subfamily displaying diverse substrate specificities. However, limited numbers of enzymes in the AA3_2 subfamily are currently biochemically characterized, which limits the homology-based mining of new AA3_2 oxidoreductases. Importantly, novel enzyme activities may be discovered from the uncharacterized parts of this large subfamily. Results In this study, phylogenetic analyses employing a sequence similarity network (SSN) and maximum likelihood trees were used to cluster AA3_2 sequences. A total of 27 AA3_2 proteins representing different clusters were selected for recombinant production. Among them, seven new AA3_2 oxidoreductases were successfully produced, purified, and characterized. These enzymes included two glucose dehydrogenases (Ta GdhA and Mc GdhA), one glucose oxidase (Ap GoxA), one aryl alcohol oxidase (Ps AaoA), two aryl alcohol dehydrogenases (As AadhA and As AadhB), and one novel oligosaccharide (gentiobiose) dehydrogenase (Ki OdhA). Notably, two dehydrogenases (Ta GdhA and Ki OdhA) were found with the ability to utilize phenoxy radicals as an electron acceptor. Interestingly, phenoxy radicals were found to compete with molecular oxygen in aerobic environments when serving as an electron acceptor for two oxidases (Ap GoxA and Ps AaoA), which sheds light on their versatility. Furthermore, the molecular determinants governing their diverse enzymatic functions were discussed based on the AlphaFold structures. Conclusions The phylogenetic analyses and biochemical characterization of AA3_2s provide valuable guidance for future investigation of AA3_2 sequences and proteins. A clear correlation between enzymatic function and SSN clustering was observed. The discovery and biochemical characterization of these new AA3_2 oxidoreductases bring exciting prospects for biotechnological applications and broadens our understanding of their biological functions.

The previously biochemically characterized sequences (details in Additional file 1: Table S1) and the sequences selected by this study (details in Additional file 1: Table S3) are shown with large symbols, while the remaining sequences are represented by grey dots. The sequences were colored based on specificity, and the shape reveals the characterization status (triangle: previously characterized; diamond: failed in production; square: successful production). The successfully produced enzymes with characterized activities are bolded and underlined, while the produced proteins without any detected activity are solely underlined.

Fig. 3 Activity heat map of fungal AA3_2 proteins at pH 5 and 30 ℃. a The first-level screening on the substrate mixtures. b The second-level screening of individual substrates that were oxidized in the first-level mixture. Oxidase activity was assessed by coupling the H2O2 production to the oxidation of 2,2′-azinobis (3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS) by horseradish peroxidase (HRP), while dehydrogenase activity was determined using BQ and DCIP as electron acceptors. The levels of the activity were defined based on the measured activity. High: > 1 U/mg; medium: 0.2–1 U/mg; moderate: 0.01–0.2 U/mg; and low: quantifiable—0.01 U/mg. Limited activity signified a minimum 10% difference in the absorbance between the reaction and the background after overnight incubation. (The activities of PcAA3_2A and ApAA3_2B’s were later proved to be false positives.)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
