Moreover, the immobilized DgAS on Amicogen LKZ118 beads led to a 278.4 mM (75.8 g/l), 108.8 mM (29.6 g/l) and 211.2 mM (57.5 g/l) final concentration of mono-glycosylated product of hydroquinone, catechol and resorcinol at 35 cycles, respectively, when the same substrate concentration was used as mentioned above. The percent yield of the total glycosides of hydroquinone and catechol varied from 85% to 90% during 35 cycles of reactions in an S upplementary data for this immobilized system, however, in case of resorcinol the yield was in between 65% to 70%.

The biologically active phenolic compounds usually contain Amylosucrase (AS) is a glycosyltransferase (GT) structurally single or multiple functional groups such as hydroxyl and belonging to the glycoside hydrolase [1, 2]. Transglycosylation methyl moieties bonded to aromatic hydrocarbons. These reactions of AS are usually conjugations of single and/or hydroxyl groups are prone to subsequent modifications, multiple (gluco-oligosaccharides) sugar(s) with a great which alters their physiochemical functions compared with advantage compared with Leloir GTs. For production of the parent compounds. Glycosides of hydroquinone (para- bioactive phenolic glycosides [2, 3], AS has been used in the dihydroxybenzene), popularly known as skin-whitening synthesis of a variety of attractive biomaterials including agents and widely used in the cosmetic industry, inhibit amylose-like polymers, starch, dendritic nanoparticles, and melanin formation in the skin and lighten dark skin, microparticle encapsulation [4-6]. Although AS has potential freckles and age spots, as well as repair sun damage [7]. application in glycodiversification, it is rarely reported for Resorcinol and catechol are derivatives of meta- and ortho- September 2018 ⎪ Vol. 28⎪ No. 9 1448 Lee et al. dihydroxybenzenes, respectively. They also exhibit potent in 50 ml LB broth at 37oC for 24 h. The cells were harvested by biological activities and therefore have pharmaceutical as centrifugation at 840 ×g (for 10 min at 4oC and washed using a well as cosmeceutical applications. Resorcinol is used as a buffer containing 50 mM Tris-HCl and 10% glycerol (pH 7.5). skin-whitening agent and as an ointment to relieve pain These cells were re-suspended in the same buffer and disrupted and itching [8-10], while catechol is used as an anti-cancer with a sonicator in an ice bath. The supernatant and cell debris were separated by centrifugation at 13,475 ×g for 15min at 4oC. compound and as a cosmeceutical agent [4, 11]. Although Expressed protein was analyzed by sodium dodecyl sulfate- these phenolic compounds are highly useful, their polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) with 12% (w/v) applications have been limited due to issues related to acrylamide gel. The supernatant was purified using nickel stability, poor solubility, and short life in a photosensitive nitrilotriacetic acid (Ni-NTA) affinity column chromatography environment. Bulky sugar attachment to these compounds (Qiagen Inc., USA) and eluted at various concentrations (10, 100, has been shown to resolve these issues of water solubility, 200, and 500 mM) of imidazole, respectively, as previously reported stability, and biological properties [12]. [15, 16]. In this study, three dihydroxybenzenes (hydroquinone, catechol and resorcinol) were glycosylated using the Enzymatic Reaction Conditions for DgAS and Amyloglucosidase amylosucrase enzyme prepared using a codon optimized The transglycosylation reaction was performed using gene of Deinococcus geothermalis DSM 11300 (DgAS). The dihydroxybenzenes (hydroquinone, resorcinol and catechol) oligosaccharide-conjugated phenolic glycosides were also (Sigma-Aldrich, USA) as acceptor molecules in the presence of sucrose as glucose donor catalyzed by amylosucrase (DgAS). The generated during transglycosylation. The productions of these 200 μl of the total reaction mixture contained 20 mM dihyroxybenzene, phenolic mono-glucosides were enhanced by optimization 2 mM ascorbic acid, 200 mM sucrose, 0.4 mg/ml amylosucrase of various reaction parameters, enzyme immobilization enzyme and 200 mM Tris-HCl buffer at pH 7. The reactions were and treatment with commercial amyloglucosidase from incubated at 37oC for 30 min and stopped by keeping the reaction Aspergillus niger. Previous studies reported the synthesis of mixture in a boiling water bath for 10 min. The reaction mixtures α-arbutin and its potential use in the cosmeceutical industry were treated with 13 U/ml of commercial amyloglucosidase [13, 14]. (Sigma-Aldrich, USA) at 40oC for 3 h. The samples were treated with chilled methanol to stop further reaction and centrifuged at Materials and Methods 13,475 ×g for 15 min to separate them from protein precipitates. The reaction mixtures were analyzed by high performance liquid Chemicals and Reagents chromatography-photo diode array (HPLC-PDA) and confirmed Hydroquinone, resorcinol, catechol, ascorbic acid, sucrose, and by electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI/MS) and amyloglucosidase (from Aspergillus niger) were purchased from nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) analyses.
