Abstract:Diacetylchitobiose deacetylase has great application potential in the production of chitosan oligosaccharides and monosaccharides. This work aimed to achieve high-level secretory production of diacetylchitobiose deacetylase by Bacillus subtilis and perform molecular engineering to improve catalytic performance. First, we screened 12 signal peptides for diacetylchitobiose deacetylase secretion in B. subtilis, and the signal peptide YncM achieved the highest extracellular diacetylchitobiose deacetylase activity … Show more
“…Additionally, the cell controlling system of Gram-positive bacteria can avoid protein misfolding and the formation of inclusion bodies [57]. Hence, to further improve the soluble expression level of PhDac for the catalytic production of GlcN, Jiang et al [40] heterologously expressed PhDac in B. subtilis WB600, whose six extracellular proteases were deleted from the chromosome of B. subtilis 168. With the optimized signal peptide and a stronger promoter, they achieved a 3112.2 U/mg extracellular expression of PhDac.…”
“…First, the low expression level of CDAs and purification difficulties of CODs are the primary limiting factors. Many studies have tried to improve the heterogeneous expression of CDAs by Escherichia coli, Bacillus subtilis, Pichia pastoris or other hosts [39][40][41]. On the other hand, considering the cost and environmental problems, softer reacting conditions are required in industrial production, which has distance with the reaction characteristics of CDAs [38].…”

“…Therefore, CDAs are necessary to be modified by protein engineering to meet the industrial requirements. Currently, researches on constructing expression systems and protein engineering of CDAs are still at the beginning stage and develop rapidly [37,38,40]. However, the work about these two fields has not been covered in the previous reviews.…”
Chitosan and chitooligosaccharides (COS), as derivatives of chitin through deacetylation reaction, have broad applications due to their good biodegradability, biocompatibility, and solubility. In addition, chitosan and COS are involved in cell wall morphogenesis and host-pathogen interactions in vivo. Chitin deacetylases (CDAs) are enzymes that can catalyze the de-N-acetylation of chitin. They are widely distributed in protozoa, algae, bacteria, fungi, and insects with important physiological functions. Compared with the traditional chemical method, enzymatic catalysis by CDAs provides an enzymatic catalysis method to produce chitosan and COS with controllable deacetylation site and environmental friendliness. These characteristics attract researchers to produce CDAs by fungicides or pesticides. However, researches on heterologous expression and directed evolution of CDAs are still lacking. In this review, we summarize the latest knowledge of CDAs, especially for heterologous expression systems and directed evolution strategies, which may contribute to the industrial production and future application of CDAs.

“…However, proteins are usually expressed in cytoplasm in E. coli , making the screening of library more difficult if the substrate of the protein cannot be transported into cell. Therefore, the organisms such asBacillus subtilis and Pichia pastoris that can secret proteins into medium have been developed as alternative hosts for library generation (Jiang et al 2019;Liu et al 2017;Reetz et al 2007;Wang et al 2012).…”
Bacillus subtilis is an attractive host for directed evolution of the enzymes whose substrates cannot be transported across the cell membrane. However, generation of mutant library in B. subtilis still suffers problems of small library size, plasmid instability and heterozygosity. Here, large library of random mutant was created through inserting error-prone PCR (epPCR) product to the chromosome of B. subtilis. Specifically, epPCR product was fused with flanking regions and antibiotic resistant marker using a PCR-based multimerization method, generating insertion construct. epPCR product was integrated into chromosome via homologous recombination after insertion construct was transformed into the supercompetent cells of B. subtilis strain SCK6. The transformation efficiency of insertion construct was improved though increasing the number of competent cell and the length of flanking regions. A library containing 3.5×105 random mutant was construction using per μg insertion construct, which is sufficient for directed evolution. Moreover, the library generation process could be accomplished within one day. The effectiveness of this method was confirmed by improving the activity of Methyl Parathion Hydrolase (MPH) toward chlorpyrifos and to enhance the secretion level of MPH in B. subtilis. Taken together, present work provides a fast and efficient method to integrate epPCR product into the chromosome of B. subtilis, facilitating directed evolution and expression optimization of target protein.
