Under certain environmental conditions, it has massive outbreaks, resulting in attacks of healthy trees, becoming a forest pest. It has been proposed that the bark beetle’s microbiome plays a key role in the insect’s ecology, providing nutrients, inhibiting pathogens, and degrading tree defense compounds, among other probable traits. During a study of bacterial associates from I. typographus, we isolated three strains identified as Pseudomonas from different beetle life stages. In this work, we aimed to reveal the taxonomic status of these bacterial strains and to sequence and annotate their genomes to mine possible traits related to a role within the bark beetle holobiont.

  • Stereoselective Synthesis of a 4- -Glucoside of Valienamine and Its X
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Stereoselective synthesis of a 4‑⍺‑glucoside of valienamine and its X‑ray structure in complex with Streptomyces coelicolor GlgE1‑V279S Anshupriya Si1,4, Thilina D. Jayasinghe2,4, Radhika Thanvi1, Sunayana Kapil3, Donald R. Ronning2* & Steven J. Sucheck1* Glycoside hydrolases (GH) are a large family of hydrolytic enzymes found in all domains of life. As such, they control a plethora of normal and pathogenic biological functions. Thus, understanding selective inhibition of GH enzymes at the atomic level can lead to the identifcation of new classes of therapeutics. In these studies, we identifed a 4‑⍺‑glucoside of valienamine (8) as an inhibitor of Streptomyces coelicolor (Sco) GlgE1‑V279S which belongs to the GH13 Carbohydrate Active EnZyme family. The results obtained from the dose–response experiments show that 8 at a concentration of 1000 µM reduced the enzyme activity of Sco GlgE1‑V279S by 65%. The synthetic route to 8 and a closely related 4‑⍺‑glucoside of validamine (7) was achieved starting from readily available D‑maltose. A key step in the synthesis was a chelation‑controlled addition of vinylmagnesium bromide to a maltose‑derived enone intermediate. X‑ray structures of both 7 and 8 in complex with Sco GlgE1‑ V279S were solved to resolutions of 1.75 and 1.83 Å, respectively. Structural analysis revealed the valienamine derivative 8 binds the enzyme in an E2 conformation for the cyclohexene fragment. Also, the cyclohexene fragment shows a new hydrogen‑bonding contact from the pseudo‑diaxial C(3)–OH to the catalytic nucleophile Asp 394 at the enzyme active site.

Glycosylation usually improves flavonoid solubility but access to flavonoid glycosides is limited by their low production levels in plants. In this thesis work, the focus was placed on the development of new glucodiversification routes of natural flavonoids by taking advantage of protein engineering. Two biochemically and structurally characterized recombinant transglucosylases, the amylosucrase from Neisseria polysaccharea and the α-(1→2) branching sucrase, a truncated form of the dextransucrase from L. Mesenteroides NRRL B-1299, were selected to attempt glucosylation of different flavonoids, synthesize new α-glucoside derivatives with original patterns of glucosylation and hopefully improved their water-solubility.

The morphology of native, control, and AS-modified waxy corn starches (230 and 460 U) was examined using a particle size analyzer and field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM). AS modification of the starch elongated the glucose and resulted in higher SDS and RS contents. The mean particle sizes of the control, 230 U-AS-, and 460 U-AS-treated starches were 56.6 µm, 128.0 µm, and 176.5 µm, respectively. The surface of the 460 U-AS-treated starch was entirely porous and coral-like, while the 230 U-AS-treated starch had a partial dense and flat surface which did not react with AS. FE-SEM of the granule cross section confirmed that the center contained a dense and flat region without any evidence of AS reaction to either of the AS-treated starches. It was assumed that the particle size and porous and sponge-like particle features might be related to the SDS and RS fractions. Keywords: amylosucrase-modified starch; particle size distribution; cross-sectioned particle; morphology; low glycemic starch 1.

(4 ―6 ―5, Utajima, Nishiyodogawa-ku, Osaka 555-8502, Japan) Abstract: Amylose is a functional biomaterial and is expected to be used for various industries. However at present, manufacturing of amylose is not done, since the purification of amylose from starch is very difficult. It has been known that amylose can be produced in vitro by using α-glucan phosphorylases. In order to ob- tain α-glucan phosphorylase suitable for manufacturing amylose, we isolated an α-glucan phosphorylase gene from Thermus aquaticus and expressed it in Escherichia coli. We also obtained thermostable α-glucan phos- phorylase by introducing amino acid replacement onto potato enzyme. α-Glucan phosphorylase is suitable for the synthesis of amylose; the only problem is that it requires an expensive substrate, glucose 1-phosphate. We have avoided this problem by using α-glucan phosphorylase either with sucrose phosphorylase or cellobiose phosphorylase, where inexpensive raw material, sucrose or cellobiose, can be used instead. In these combined enzymatic systems, α-glucan phosphorylase is a key enzyme. This paper summarizes our work on engineering practical α-glucan phosphorylase for industrial processes and its use in the enzymatic synthesis of essentially linear amylose and other glucose polymers. Key words: amylose, glucose polymer, α-glucan phosphorylase, glycogen debranching enzyme, protein engi- neering α-1,4 glucan is the major form of energy reserve from Enzymes for amylose synthesis.
