Publication Abstract from PubMed alpha-Amylases are the workhorse enzymes of starch degradation. They are central to human health, including as targets for anti-diabetic compounds, but are also the key enzymes in the industrial processing of starch for biofuels, corn syrups, brewing and detergents. Dissection of the activity, specificity and stability of alpha-amylases is crucial to understanding their biology and allowing their exploitation. Yet, functional characterization lags behind DNA sequencing and genomics; and new tools are required for rapid analysis of alpha-amylase function. Here, we design, synthesize and apply new branched alpha-amylase activity-based probes. Using both alpha-1,6 branched and unbranched alpha-1,4 maltobiose activity-based probes we were able to explore the stability and substrate specificity of both a panel of human gut microbial alpha-amylases and a panel of industrially relevant alpha-amylases. We also demonstrate how we can detect and annotate the substrate specificity of alpha-amylases in the complex cell lysate of both a prominent gut microbe and a diverse compost sample by in-gel fluorescence and mass spectrometry. A toolbox of starch-active activity-based probes will enable rapid functional dissection of alpha-amylases. We envisage activity-based probes contributing to better selection and engineering of enzymes for industrial application as well as fundamental analysis of enzymes in human health.
