AB  - Finding an effective drug to prevent or treat COVID-19 is of utmost importance in tcurrent
pandemic. Since developing a new treatment takes a significant amount of time, drug repurposing
can be an effective option for achieving a rapid response. This study used a combined in silico virtual
screening protocol for candidate SARS-CoV-2 PLpro inhibitors. The Drugbank database was searched
first, using the Informational Spectrum Method for Small Molecules, followed by molecular docking.
Gramicidin D was selected as a peptide drug, showing the best in silico interaction profile with PLpro.
After the expression and purification of PLpro, gramicidin D was screened for protease inhibition
in vitro and was found to be active against PLpro. The current study’s findings are significant
because it is critical to identify COVID-19 therapies that are efficient, affordable, and have a favorable
safety profile.

AB  - The aim of this research was to prove the function of the putative opine dehydrogenase from Desulfohalobium retbaense and to characterize the enzyme in terms of functional and kinetic parameters. A putative opine dehydrogenase was identified from a metagenomic library by a sequence-based technique search of the metagenomic library, and afterward was successfully heterologously produced in Escherichia coli. In order to examine its potential for applications in the synthesis of secondary amines, first the substrate specificity of the enzyme towards different amino donors and amino acceptors was determined. The highest affinity was observed towards small amino acids, preferentially L-alanine, and when it comes to α-keto acids, pyruvate proved to be a preferential amino acceptor. The highest activity was observed at pH 6.5 in the absence of salts. The enzyme showed remarkable stability in a wide range of experimental conditions, such as broad pH stability (from 6.0–11.0 after 30 min incubation in buffers at a certain pH), stability in the presence of NaCl up to 3.0 M for 24 h, it retained 80% of the initial activity after 1 h incubation at 45°C, and 65% of the initial activity after 24 h incubation in 30% dimethyl sulfoxide.

AB  - Novel macroporous copolymers of glycidyl methacrylate and ethylene glycol dimethacrylate with mean pore size diameters ranging from 150 to 310 nm were synthesized by dispersion polymerization and modified with ethylenediamine. The glutaraldehyde and periodate method were employed to immobilize horseradish peroxidase (HRP) onto these carriers. The activity of the immobilized enzyme was greatly affected by the pore size of the carrier. The highest specific activities of 9.65 and 8.94 U/g of dry weight were obtained for HRP immobilized by the periodate-route onto poly(GMA‐co‐EGDMA) carriers with pore size diameters of 234 and 297 nm, respectively. Stability studies showed an improved operational stability of immobilized peroxidase at 65 °C and in an organic solvent. HRP immobilized on a copolymer with a pore size of 234 nm, showing the highest specific activity and good stability, had higher activities at almost all pH values than the native enzyme and the increased Km value for pyrogallol oxidation. Immobilized HRP retained 80% of its original activity after five consecutive cycles of the pyrogallol oxidation and 98% of its initial activity in a storage stability study. Enzyme immobilized onto the macroporous copolymer with the pore size diameter of 234 nm showed a substantial degree of phenol removal achieved by immobilized peroxidase.

AB  - The aim of this research was to improve the operational stability and enable the reusability of ω-transaminase for synthesis of new enantiopure chiral amines of steroids. Dihydrotestosterone was used to optimize the synthetic procedure of corresponding amino-steroid on a larger scale. The obtained product 3α-amino-5α-androstan-17β-ol was isolated and characterized. The enzyme was immobilized on a methacrylate-based carrier, giving the specific activity of 1.84 U/g of dry polymer. Higher residual activity of the immobilized enzyme in comparison to the soluble form (100 % versus 35%) after 24 h incubation in 35 % dimethylformamide (DMF) was obtained. The soluble enzyme retained 19 % of the initial activity after 2 h incubation in 35 % DMF at 70 °C, while the activity of the immobilized enzyme decreased only to 75 %. Immobilized retained 85 % of initial activity after ten consecutive cycles of 3α-amino-5α-androstan-17β-ol synthesis. We have tested the specificity of the ArRMut11 variant, further increased its stability by immobilization, and used it in several cycles for the synthesis of 3α-amino-5α-androstan-17β-ol. We showed that the enzyme previously evolved for higher stability as the immobilized variant showed more increased stability and high reusability that can more effectively be applied for the biosynthesis of amino steroids.

AB  - Opine dehydrogenases are a family of NAD(P)H dependent oxidoreductases, whichcatalyze the reductive condensation of an α amino group from an amino acid with an αketo acid during anaerobic glycolysis by regenerating NAD. They are widespread incephalopods and mollusks. Opines are associated with crown gall tumor pathogenesiscaused by A. tumefaciens providing nutrients to the pathogen, and novel opine compoundsacting as metallophores have been identified. Besides, opine-type secondary aminedicarboxylic acids are chiral intermediates of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors. Anovel enzyme originating from an extremophile bacterium, with assumed opinedehydrogenase function was successfully expressed in Escherichia coli STAR cells andpurified by affinity chromatography. Molecular mass determined by SDS-PAGE wasapproximately 40 kDa. The activity was measured by using pyruvate and alanine assubstrates, by which proved that it has opine dehydrogenase activity.

AB  - Saccharomyces cerevisiae, known as bakers’ yeast, is one of the most utilized yeasts in industry. Several enzymes that are naturally produced by yeast, such as invertase and catalase, combined with heterologously expressed glucose oxidase (GOx), represent the enzyme machinery for fructose and gluconic acid production. Therefore, we have used yeast cell walls with expressed glucose oxidase as a platform for crosslinking with invertase and catalase to create biocatalyst cells for the high yield sucrose conversion. Using 5% (w/v) suspension of cross-linked yeast cell walls in 0.15 M sucrose solution, 1.86 g L−1 h−1 of gluconic acid has been obtained using wt-GOx, while mutant A2-GOx produced 2.91 g L−1 h−1 of gluconic acid. Increasing the concentration of modified yeast cells walls to 10% (w/v) we were able to obtain almost 100% conversion of glucose to gluconic acid using A2-GOx in the first cycle. Reusing the modified cells walls in three consecutive cycles, conversion dropped to approximately 70% using A2-GOx and 40% using wt-GOx.

AB  - Production of soluble cellobiose dehydrogenase (CDH) mutant proteins previously evolved on the surface of S. cerevisiae yeast cells was established for use in biosensors and biofuel cells. For this purpose, mutant cdh genes tm (D20N, A64T, V592M), H5 (D20N, V22A, A64T, V592M) and H9 (D20N, A64T, T84A, A261P, V592M, E674G, N715S) were cloned to pPICZα plasmid and transformed into Pichia pastoris KM71H strain for high expression in a soluble form and kinetic characterization. After 6 days of expression under methanol induction, the CDHs were purified by ultrafiltration, ion- -exchange chromatography and gel filtration. Sodium dodecyl sulfate electrophoresis confirmed the purity and presence of a single protein band at a molecular weight of 100 kDa. Kinetic characterization showed that the H5 mutant had the highest catalytic constant of 43.5 s-1 for lactose, while the mutant H9 showed the highest specificity constant for lactose of 132 mM-1 s-1. All three mutant proteins did not change the pH optimum that was between 4.5 and 5.5. Compared to the previously obtained wild types and mutants of CDH from Phanerochaete chrysosporium, the variants reported in this article had higher activity and specificity that together with high protein expression rate in P. pastoris, makes them good candidates for use in biotechnology for lactobionic acid production and biosensor manufacture.

AB  - Derivatives of xylans were synthesized from corncob xylan by carboxymethylation, oxidization with different molar ratios of periodate (5, 10 15 and 20 mol%) and by reductive amination with tyramine. Modifications of tyramine carboxymethyl xylans (Tyr-CMX) were confirmed by FTIR, UV and NMR spectra. Concentration of ionizable groups increased from 1.5 mmol/g for carboxymethyl xylan (CMX) to 5.4 mmol/g for Tyr-CMX oxidized with 20 mol% of periodate. All Tyr-CMXs were able to form hydrogels the cross-linking reaction with horseradish peroxidase and peroxide. Tyr-CMXs were tested for amyloglucosidase (AG) encapsulation within hydrogel microbeads obtained in a reaction of emulsion polymerization with peroxidase. Average diameter of Tyr-CMX hydrogel microbeads was 52±25 µm and after encapsulation optimization with respect to the extent of CMX modification with tyramine, the concentration of Tyr-CMX, and the amount of added AG, microbeads with AG specific activity of 2 U/mL and 20% yield of immobilization were obtained. The optimum pH of the immobilized AG was not changed compared to the soluble one, while half-life at 60 °C was increased around 10 times. The Michaelis-Menten constant for the immobilized enzyme, 1.03 mM, was significantly lower than that for the soluble one, 1.54 mM. After 5 cycles of repetitive use in batch reactor, the immobilized AG retained 68% of initial activity.

AB  - Cellobiose dehydrogenase (CDH) from Phanerochaete chrysosporium can be used in
lactobionic acid production, biosensor for lactose, biofuel cells, lignocellulose degradation,
and wound-healing applications. To make it a better biocatalyst, CDH with higher activity in
an immobilized form is desirable. For this purpose, CDH was expressed for the first time on the
surface of S. cerevisiae EBY100 cells in an active form as a triple mutant tmCDH (D20N, A64T,
V592M) and evolved further for higher activity using resazurin-based fluorescent assay. In order to
decrease blank reaction of resazurin with yeast cells and to have linear correlation between enzyme
activity on the cell surface and fluorescence signal, the assay was optimized with respect to resazurin
concentration (0.1 mM), substrate concentration (10mMlactose and 0.08mMcellobiose), and pH (6.0).
Using optimized assay an error prone PCR gene library of tmCDH was screened. Two mutants with
5 (H5) and 7 mutations (H9) were found having two times higher activity than the parent tmCDH
enzyme that already had improved activity compared to wild type CDH whose activity could not be
detected on the surface of yeast cells.

AB  - Phenol and amino groups were introduced into alginate to different degrees via oxidation with 2.5, 5, 10, 15 and 20 mol% of periodate and reductive amination by tyramine. Modification of alginate with tyramine was confirmed by FTIR spectroscopy and UV-VIS spectroscopy, while concentration of phenol and ionizable groups was determined using absorbance at 275 nm and acid-base titration. All tyramine-alginates were able to form hydrogels after cross-linking with horse radish peroxidase (HRP) and hydrogen peroxide. Tyramine-alginates oxidized with up to 10 mol% of periodate were also capable of forming hydrogels with calcium ions. Tyramine-alginates were tested for HRP immobilization within micro-beads obtained by peroxidase catalyzed droplet polymerization using internal delivery of hydrogen peroxide via glucose oxidase and glucose. Highest activity of immobilized peroxidase was obtained with 20% (w/v) tyramine-alginate obtained via 20 mol% periodate oxidation. Immobilized enzyme was not leaking from the micro-beads and was further kinetically characterized for pyrogallol oxidation. Km for pyrogallol was increased after immobilization from 1.93 mM for soluble HRP to 734 mM for immobilized HRP. The optimum pH was also increased from pH 7.0 to 8.0. Temperature and organic solvent stability improved significantly after immobilization, so that half-life at 70 degrees C increased around four times, while half-life in 80% (v/v) dioxane increased 22 times. After repeated use of 6 times in batch reactor for pyrogallol oxidation immobilized HRP retained 45% of original activity.

Immobilized enzyme was not leaking from the micro-beads and was further kinetically characterized for pyrogallol oxidation. Km for pyrogallol was increased after immobilization from 1.93 mM for soluble HRP to 734 mM for immobilized HRP. The optimum pH was also increased from pH 7.0 to 8.0. Temperature and organic solvent stability improved significantly after immobilization, so that half-life at 70 degrees C increased around four times, while half-life in 80% (v/v) dioxane increased 22 times. After repeated use of 6 times in batch reactor for pyrogallol oxidation immobilized HRP retained 45% of original activity.",

AB  - Glucose oxidase (GOx) catalyzes the oxidation of glucose to form gluconic acid and hydrogen peroxide, a reaction with important applications in food preservation, the manufacture of cosmetics and pharmaceuticals, and the development of glucose monitoring devices and biofuel cells. We expressed Aspergillus niger wild type GOx and the B11 mutant, which has twice the activity of the wild type enzyme at pH 5.5, as C-terminal fusions with the Saccharomyces cerevisiae Aga2 protein, allowing the fusion proteins to be displayed on the surface of yeast EBY100 cells. After expression, we extracted the proteins from the yeast cell wall and purified them by ion-exchange chromatography and ultrafiltration. This produced a broad 100-140 kDa band by denaturing SDS-PAGE and a high-molecular-weight band by native PAGE corresponding to the activity band revealed by zymography. The wild type and B11 fusion proteins had k(cat) values of 33.3 and 61.3 s(-1) and K-m values for glucose of 33.4 and 27.9 mM, respectively. The pH optimum for both enzymes was 5.0. The kinetic properties of the fusion proteins displayed the same ratio as their native counterparts, confirming that yeast surface display is suitable for the high-throughput directed evolution of GOx using flow cytometry for selection. Aga2-GOx fusion proteins in the yeast cell wall could also be used as immobilized catalysts for the production of gluconic acid.
