Design and Utilization of Chitinases with Low Hydrolytic Activities

Abstract: Enzymatic glycosylation reactions by combined use of activated donor substrates and deactivated enzymes have been reviewed. Glycosidase-catalyzed transglycosylation reaction of sugar oxazolines to various glycosyl acceptors have successfully been achieved for the formation of polyand oligo-saccharides such as chitin, glycosaminoglycans, and the core trisaccharide of N-linked oligosaccharide. These reactions proceeded efficiently using appropriate glycosidases under basic conditions, where the enzymes showed lo… Show more

“…Although much is known about chitinases and related enzymes, efficient conversion of chitin to well-defined oligosaccharides remains a challenge [22]. Syntheses using the transglycosylation activity of wild-type [23] or mutant chitinases [24][25][26] were efficiently achieved; however, the preparative synthesis of long-chain COs was impeded by hydrolysis and disproportionation side activities. The necessity to use substrates issued from chitin depolymerization and the low level of expression of chitinases are additional drawbacks.…”

“…Esto indica que el pH básico tuvo mayor influencia en la actividad. Lo que podría atribuirse a los cambios iónicos de los aminoácidos en el sitio activo de la enzima, y que a su vez altera el complejo enzima-sustrato (Kohri et al, 2007). Nguyen et al (2015), informaron resultados similares, ya que obtuvieron la mayor actividad de una quitinasa de L. lecanii a pH 6, mientras que con el aumento del pH hasta 7.5 se redujo la actividad hidrolítica.…”

“…Barghini et al (2013) reportaron a las quitinasas CHI1 y CHI2 de L. muscarium con actividades de N-acetilhexosaminidasa a pH 5.5 y 4.5, respectivamente. (Kohri et al, 2007). El mecanismo de hidrólisis de las quitinasas también implicó la formación de un ion oxazolinio intermedio con el grupo nucleofílico de N-acetamida del sustrato.…”
