Publication Abstract from PubMedAmylomaltase (AM) catalyzes transglycosylation of starch to form linear or cyclic oligosaccharides with potential applications in biotechnology and industry. In the present work, a novel AM from the mesophilic bacterium Streptococcus agalactiae (SaAM), with 18-49% sequence identity to previously reported AMs, was characterized. Cyclization and disproportionation activities were observed with the optimum temperature of 30 degrees C and 40 degrees C, respectively. Structural determination of SaAM, the first crystal structure of small AMs from the mesophiles, revealed a glycosyl-enzyme intermediate derived from acarbose and a second acarbose molecule attacking the intermediate. This pre-transglycosylation conformation has never been before observed in AMs. Structural analysis suggests that thermostability in AMs might be mainly caused by an increase in salt bridges since SaAM has a lower number of salt bridges compared with AMs from the thermophiles. Increase in thermostability by mutation was performed. C446 was substituted with A/S/P. C446A showed higher activities and higher kcat/Km values for starch in comparison to the WT enzyme. C446S exhibited a 5 degrees C increase in optimum temperature and the threefold increase in half-life time at 45 degrees C, most likely resulting from H-bonding interactions. For all enzymes, the main large-ring cyclodextrin (LR-CD) products were CD24-CD26 with CD22 as the smallest. C446S produced more CD35-CD42, especially at a longer incubation time. Streptococcus agalactiae amylomaltase offers insight into the transglycosylation mechanism and the molecular basis of thermostability among amylomaltases.,Tumhom S, Nimpiboon P, Wangkanont K, Pongsawasdi P Sci Rep. 2021 Mar 24;11(1):6740. doi: 10.1038/s41598-021-85769-3.
