Area Of Science
- Biochemistry
- Enzymology
- Microbial Biotechnology
Background
- Baicalein possesses higher bioavailability and pharmacological activity than its precursor, baicalin.
- Baicalin can be transformed into baicalein via β-glucuronidase (GUS) catalysis.
- Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus HP-B1083 has demonstrated efficient baicalin to baicalein biotransformation.
Purpose Of The Study
- To identify and characterize the GUS enzyme from L. rhamnosus HP-B1083 responsible for baicalin biotransformation.
- To elucidate the enzymatic properties and catalytic mechanism of the identified enzyme.
- To assess the enzyme's potential for industrial baicalein production.
Main Methods
- Cloning and sequencing of the LruidA gene encoding the GUS enzyme.
- Expression and purification of recombinant LrUidA enzyme.
- Enzyme characterization (optimal temperature, pH, kinetic parameters) and site-directed mutagenesis.
- Optimization of biotransformation reaction conditions.
Main Results
- The LruidA gene encodes a 70 kDa glycosyl hydrolase family 2 enzyme, LrUidA.
- LrUidA exhibits optimal activity at 50°C and pH 4.5, with good pH stability.
- Kinetic analysis revealed specific Michaelis-Menten, maximum velocity, and catalytic constant values.
- Mutagenesis identified key catalytic residues (E509, E415) and negatively charged residues (E450, D451, D452).
- Optimized conditions achieved a 99% conversion ratio of baicalin to baicalein within 4 hours.
Conclusions
- The characterized LrUidA enzyme from L. rhamnosus HP-B1083 is a highly efficient GUS for baicalin biotransformation.
- Understanding the enzyme's properties and catalytic mechanism facilitates its application in industrial baicalein production.
- This study expands knowledge on using GUS enzymes for the efficient synthesis of pharmacologically active compounds.
