Molecular modeling and redesign of alginate lyase from Pseudomonas aeruginosa for accelerating CRPA biofilm degradation

Abstract: Administration of an efficient alginate lyase (AlgL) or AlgL mutant may be a promising therapeutic strategy for treatment of cystic fibrosis patients with Pseudomonas aeruginosa infections. Nevertheless, the catalytic activity of wild-type AlgL is not sufficiently high. It is highly desired to design and discover an AlgL mutant with significantly improved catalytic efficiency against alginate substrates. For the purpose of identifying an AlgL mutant with significantly improved catalytic activity, in this study… Show more

“…Many studies stated that treatment with the liquid crystals containing alginate lyase (AlgL) and gentamicin resulted in a greater 2‐log reduction in mucoid P. aeruginosa (clinical isolate) biofilms (Thorn, Prestidge, Boyd, & Thomas, ). Furthermore, a combination of AlgL and other antibiotics, such as Piperacillin/Tazobactam, Tobramycin, and Clarithromycin, enhanced the disruption of Ciprofloxacin‐resistant P. aeruginosa (CRPA) biofilms and other bacterial biofilms significantly (Bugli, Palmieri et al, , Cho, Huang et al, , Jang, Piao et al, , Lamppa & Griswold, ).…”

“…The efficacy of the combination of a mutant alginate lyase and piperacillin-tazobactam was compared to piperacillin-tazobactam alone and piperacillin-tazobactam with the wild-type enzyme against ciprofloxacin-resistant P. aeruginosa (CRPA) biofilms. The combination therapy with the mutant enzyme reduced biofilm formation and a lower dose of piperacillin-tazobactam was required to degrade the CRPA biofilm (Cho et al 2016).…”

“…Genetically engineered MC5Es from A. vinelandii altered the epimerization pattern of alginate [20,21]. Mutants of ALs from alginate-producing bacteria exhibited improved activity in degrading P. aeruginosa biofilms associated with cystic fibrosis [22,23]. Consequently, MC5Es and ALs hold promise for tailoring alginate for a wide range of applications.…”
