    The cell walls of pathogenic and acidophilic bacteria, such as Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Mycobacterium leprae, contain lipoarabinomannan and arabinogalactan. These components are composed of D-arabinose, the enantiomer of the typical L-arabinose found in plants. The unique glycan structures of mycobacteria contribute to their ability to evade mammalian immune responses. In this study, we identified four enzymes (two GH183 endo-D-arabinanases, GH172 exo-α-D-arabinofuranosidase, and GH116 exo-β-D-arabinofuranosidase) from Microbacterium arabinogalactanolyticum. These enzymes completely degraded the complex D-arabinan core structure of lipoarabinomannan and arabinogalactan in a concerted manner. Furthermore, through biochemical characterization using synthetic substrates and X-ray crystallography, we elucidated the mechanisms of substrate recognition and anomer-retaining hydrolysis for the α- and β-D-arabinofuranosidic bonds in both endo- and exo-mode reactions. The discovery of these D-arabinan-degrading enzymes, along with the understanding of their structural basis for substrate specificity, provides valuable resources for investigating the intricate glycan architecture of mycobacterial cell wall polysaccharides and their contribution to pathogenicity.

    Aim: Dietary plant fibers affect gut microbiota composition; however, the underlying microbial degradation pathways are not fully understood. We previously discovered 3-O-α-D-galactosyl-α-L-arabinofuranosidase (GAfase), a glycoside hydrolase family 39 enzyme involved in the assimilation of side chains of arabinogalactan protein (AGP), from Bifidobacterium longum subsp. longum JCM7052. Although GAfase homologs are not highly prevalent in the Bifidobacterium genus, several Bifidobacterium strains possess the homologs. To explore the differences in substrate specificity among the homologs, a homolog of B. longum GAfase in Bifidobacterium pseudocatenulatum MCC10289 (MCC10289_0425) was characterized. Methods: Gum arabic, larch, wheat AGP, and sugar beet arabinan were used to determine the substrate specificity of the MCC10289_0425 protein. An amino acid replacement was introduced into GAfase to identify a critical residue that governs the differentiation of substrate specificity. The growth of several Bifidobacterium strains on β-L-arabinopyranosyl disaccharide and larch AGP was examined. Results: MCC10289_0425 was identified to be an unprecedented 3-O-β-L-arabinopyranosyl-α-L-arabinofuranosidase (AAfase) with low GAfase activity. A single amino acid replacement (Asn119 to Tyr) at the catalytic site converted GAfase into AAfase. AAfase releases sugar source from AGP, thereby allowing B. pseudocatenulatum growth. Conclusion: Bifidobacteria have evolved several homologous enzymes with overlapping but distinct substrate specificities depending on the species. They have acquired different fitness abilities to respond to diverse plant polysaccharide structures.

    To understand the precise mechanism of the glycoside hydrolase (GH) family 127, a cysteine β-l-arabinofuranosidase (Arafase) - HypBA1 - has been isolated from Bifidobacterium longum in the human Gut microbiota, and the design and synthesis of the mechanism-based inhibitors such as l-Araf-haloacetamides have been carried out. The α-l-Araf-azide derivative was used as the monoglycosylamine equivalent to afford the l-Araf-chloroacetamides (α/β-1-Cl) as well as bromoacetamides (α/β-1-Br) in highly stereoselective manner through Staudinger reaction followed by amide formation with/without anomerization. Against HypBA1, the probes 1, especially in the case of α/β-1-Br inhibited the hydrolysis. Conformational implications of these observations are discussed in this manuscript. Additional examinations using l-Araf-azides (α/β-5) resulted in further mechanistic observations of the GH127/146 cysteine glycosidases, including the hydrolysis of β-5 as the substrate and oxidative inhibition by α-5 using the GH127 homologue.

    Methyl β-l-arabinofuranosyl-(1 → 2)-, -(1 → 3)-, and -(1 → 5)-α-l-arabinofuranosides have been stereoselectively synthesized through 2-naphthylmethyl ether-mediated intramolecular aglycon delivery (NAP-IAD), whose β-linkages were confirmed by NMR analysis on the 3JH1-H2 coupling constant and 13C chemical shift of C1. The NAP-IAD approach was simply extended for the synthesis of trisaccharide motifs possessing β-l-arabinofuranosyl-(1 → 5)-l-arabinofuranosyl non-reducing terminal structure with the branched β-l-arabinofuranosyl-(1 → 5)-[α-l-arabinofuranosyl-(1 → 3)]-α-l-arabinofuranosyl and the liner β-l-arabinofuranosyl-(1 → 5)-β-l-arabinofuranosyl-(1 → 5)-β-l-arabinofuranosyl structures in olive arabinan and dinoflagellate polyethers, respectively. The results on the substrate specificity of a bifidobacterial β-l-arabinofuranosidase HypBA1 using the regioisomers indicated that HypBA1 could hydrolyze all three linkages however behaved clearly less active to β-(1 → 5)-linked disaccharide than other two regioisomers including the proposed natural degradation product, β-(1 → 2)-linked one from plant extracellular matrix such as extensin. On the other hand, Xanthomonas XeHypBA1 was found to hydrolyze all three disaccharides as the substrate with higher specificity to β-(1 → 2)-linkage than bifidobacterial HypBA1.

    Arabinoxylan (AX) and arabinoxylooligosaccharides (AXOs) are carbohydrate sources utilized by Bifidobacterium longum subsp. longum. However, their degradation pathways are poorly understood. In this study, we characterized two genes, BLLJ_1850 and BLLJ_1851, in the hemicellulose-degrading gene cluster (BLLJ_1836-BLLJ_1859) of B. longum subsp. longum JCM 1217. Both recombinant enzymes expressed in Escherichia coli exhibited exo-α-L-arabinofuranosidase activity toward p-nitrophenyl-α-L-arabinofuranoside. BlArafE (encoded by BLLJ_1850) contains the glycoside hydrolase family 43 (GH43), subfamily 22 (GH43_22), and GH43_34 domains. The BlArafE GH43_22 domain was demonstrated to release α1,3-linked Araf from AX, but the function of BlArafE GH43_34 could not be clearly identified in this study. BlArafD (encoded by BLLJ_1851) contains GH43 unclassified subfamily (GH43_UC) and GH43_26 domains. The BlArafD GH43_UC domain showed specificity for α1,2-linked Araf in α1,2- and α1,3-Araf double-substituted structures in AXOs, while BlArafD GH43_26 was shown to hydrolyze α1,5-linked Araf in the arabinan backbone. Co-incubation of BlArafD and BlArafE revealed that these two enzymes sequentially removed α1,2-Araf and α1,3-Araf from double-substituted AXOs in this order. B. longum strain lacking BLLJ_1850-BLLJ_1853 did not grow in the medium containing α1,2/3-Araf double-substituted AXOs, suggesting that BlArafE and BlArafD are important for the assimilation of AX. KEY POINTS: • BlArafD GH43 unclassified subfamily domain is a novel α1,2-L-arabinofuranosidase. • BlArafE GH43 subfamily 22 domain is an α1,3-L-arabinofuranosidase. • BlArafD and BlArafE cooperatively degrade α1,2/3-Araf double-substituted arabinoxylan.

    Gum arabic is an arabinogalactan protein (AGP) that is effective as a prebiotic for the growth of bifidobacteria in the human intestine. We recently identified a key enzyme in the glycoside hydrolase (GH) family 39, 3-O-α-d-galactosyl-α-l-arabinofuranosidase (GAfase), for the assimilation of gum arabic AGP in Bifidobacterium longum subsp. longum. The enzyme released α-d-Galp-(1→3)-l-Ara and β-l-Arap-(1→3)-l-Ara from gum arabic AGP and facilitated the action of other enzymes for degrading the AGP backbone and modified sugar. In this study, we identified an α-l-arabinofuranosidase (BlArafE; encoded by BLLJ_1850), a multidomain enzyme with both GH43_22 and GH43_34 catalytic domains, as a critical enzyme for the degradation of modified α-l-arabinofuranosides in gum arabic AGP. Site-directed mutagenesis approaches revealed that the α1,3/α1,4-Araf double-substituted gum arabic AGP side chain was initially degraded by the GH43_22 domain and subsequently cleaved by the GH43_34 domain to release α1,3-Araf and α1,4-Araf residues, respectively. Furthermore, we revealed that a tetrasaccharide, α-l-Rhap-(1→4)-β-d-GlcpA-(1→6)-β-d-Galp-(1→6)-d-Gal, was a limited degradative oligosaccharide in the gum arabic AGP fermentation of Bi. longum JCM7052. The oligosaccharide was produced from gum arabic AGP by the cooperative action of the three cell surface-anchoring enzymes, GAfase, exo-β1,3-galactanase (Bl1,3Gal), and BlArafE, on Bi. longum JCM7052. Furthermore, the tetrasaccharide was utilized by the commensal bacteria. IMPORTANCE Terminal galactose residues of the side chain of gum arabic arabinogalactan protein (AGP) are mainly substituted by α1,3/α1,4-linked Araf and β1,6-linked α-l-Rhap-(1→4)-β-d-GlcpA residues. This study found a multidomain α-l-arabinofuranosidase (BlArafE) with GH43_22 and GH43_34 catalytic domains showing cooperative action for degrading α1,3/α1,4-linked Araf of the side chain of gum arabic AGP. In particular, the GH43_34 domain of BlArafE was a novel α-l-arabinofuranosidase for cleaving the α1,4-Araf linkage of terminal galactose. α-l-Rhap-(1→4)-β-d-GlcpA-(1→6)-β-d-Galp-(1→6)-d-Gal tetrasaccharide was released from gum arabic AGP by the cooperative action of GAfase, GH43_24 exo-β-1,3-galactanase (Bl1,3Gal), and BlArafE and remained after Bi. longum JCM7052 culture. Furthermore, in vitro assimilation test of the remaining oligosaccharide using Bacteroides species revealed that cross-feeding may occur from bifidobacteria to other taxonomic groups in the gut.

    Fructooligosaccharides and their anhydrides are widely utilized as health-promoting foods and prebiotics. Various enzymes acting on β-D-fructofuranosyl linkages of natural fructan polymers have been utilized to produce functional compounds. However, enzymes that hydrolyze and form α-D-fructofuranosyl linkages have been less studied. Here, we identified the BBDE_2040 gene product from Bifidobacterium dentium (αFFase1) as an enzyme with α-D-fructofuranosidase and α-D-arabinofuranosidase activities and an anomer-retaining manner. αFFase1 is not homologous with any known enzymes, suggesting that it is a member of a novel glycoside hydrolase family. When caramelized fructose sugar was incubated with αFFase1, conversions of β-D-Frup-(2→1)-α-D-Fruf to α-D-Fruf-1,2':2,1'-β-D-Frup (diheterolevulosan II), and from β-D-Fruf-(2→1)-α-D-Fruf (inulobiose) to α-D-Fruf-1,2':2,1'-β-D-Fruf (difructose dianhydride I, DFA I) were observed. The reaction equilibrium between inulobiose and DFA I was biased toward the latter (1:9) to promote the intramolecular dehydrating condensation reaction. Thus, we named this enzyme DFA I synthase/hydrolase. The crystal structures of αFFase1 in complex with β-D-Fruf and β-D-Araf were determined at resolutions of up to 1.76 Å. Modeling of a DFA I molecule in the active site and mutational analysis also identified critical residues for catalysis and substrate binding. The hexameric structure of αFFase1 revealed the connection of the catalytic pocket to a large internal cavity via a channel. Molecular dynamics analysis implied stable binding of DFA I and inulobiose to the active site with surrounding water molecules. Taken together, these results establish DFA I synthase/hydrolase as a member of a new glycoside hydrolase family (GH172).

This is an open access article distributed under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution License, which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original author and source are credited. Enzymes acting on α-L-arabinofuranosides have been extensively studied; however, the structures and functions of β-L-arabinofuranosidases are not fully understood. Three enzymes and an ABC transporter in a gene cluster of Bifidobacterium longum JCM 1217 constitute a degradation and import system of β-L-arabinooligosaccharides on plant hydroxyproline-rich glycoproteins. An extracellular β-L-arabinobiosidase (HypBA2) belonging to the glycoside hydrolase (GH) family 121 plays a key role in the degradation pathway by releasing β-1,2-linked arabinofuranose disaccharide (β-Ara2) for the specific sugar importer. Here, we present the crystal structure of the catalytic region of HypBA2 as the first three-dimensional structure of GH121 at 1.85 Å resolution. The HypBA2 structure consists of a central catalytic (α/α)6 barrel domain and two flanking (N- and C-terminal) β-sandwich domains. A pocket in the catalytic domain appears to be suitable for accommodating the β-Ara2 disaccharide. Three acidic residues Glu383, Asp515, and Glu713, located in this pocket, are completely conserved among all members of GH121; site-directed mutagenesis analysis showed that they are essential for catalytic activity. The active site of HypBA2 was compared with those of structural homologs in other GH families: GH63 α-glycosidase, GH94 chitobiose phosphorylase, GH142 β-L-arabinofuranosidase, GH78 α-L-rhamnosidase, and GH37 α,α-trehalase. Based on these analyses, we concluded that the three conserved residues are essential for catalysis and substrate binding. β-L-Arabinobiosidase genes in GH121 are mainly found in the genomes of bifidobacteria and Xanthomonas species, suggesting that the cleavage and specific import system for the β-Ara2 disaccharide on plant hydroxyproline-rich glycoproteins are shared in animal gut symbionts and plant pathogens.

    Bifidobacterium longum is a symbiotic human gut bacterium that has a degradation system for β-arabinooligosaccharides, which are present in the hydroxyproline-rich glycoproteins of edible plants. Whereas microbial degradation systems for α-linked arabinofuranosyl carbohydrates have been extensively studied, little is understood about the degradation systems targeting β-linked arabinofuranosyl carbohydrates. We functionally and structurally analyzed a substrate-binding protein (SBP) of a putative ABC transporter (BLLJ_0208) in the β-arabinooligosaccharide degradation system. Thermal shift assays and isothermal titration calorimetry revealed that the SBP specifically bound Araf-β1,2-Araf (β-Ara2 ) with a Kd of 0.150 μm, but did not bind L-arabinose or methyl-β-Ara2 . Therefore, the SBP was termed β-arabinobiose-binding protein (BABP). Crystal structures of BABP complexed with β-Ara2 were determined at resolutions of up to 1.78 Å. The findings showed that β-Ara2 was bound to BABP within a short tunnel between two lobes as an α-anomeric form at its reducing end. BABP forms extensive interactions with β-Ara2 , and its binding mode was unique among SBPs. A molecular dynamics simulation revealed that the closed conformation of substrate-bound BABP is stable, whereas substrate-free form can adopt a fully open and two distinct semi-open states. The importer system specific for β-Ara2 may contribute to microbial survival in biological niches with limited amounts of digestible carbohydrates.

    The sweetpotato is an important starch crop and a health-promoting food, owing to its richness in functional components. New sweetpotato lines (HA lines) with high amylose and high resistant starch (RS) contents are developed by cross-breeding, and the authors evaluate the root and starch properties and the influence of heat-treatment on the RS contents of these HA lines. The HA lines are found to have comparable root weights; much lower starch contents; more than 28% higher (45-59%) amylose contents; much lower viscosities, gelatinization temperatures, and gelatinization enthalpy changes; a higher proportion of both amylose and short chains (DP 6-11) fractions in the unit chain distribution of the debranched starches; and higher RS contents in gelatinized starches, raw, and heat-treated roots than those of the ordinary varieties. These results present useful information for food industries and breeders of sweetpotato.

    CAZypedia was initiated in 2007 to create a comprehensive, living encyclopedia of the carbohydrate active enzymes (CAZymes) and associated carbohydrate-binding modules involved in the synthesis, modification and degradation of complex carbohydrates. CAZypedia is closely connected with the actively curated CAZy database, which provides a sequence-based foundation for the biochemical, mechanistic and structural characterization of these diverse proteins. Now celebrating its 10th anniversary online, CAZypedia is a successful example of dynamic, community-driven and expert-based biocuration. CAZypedia is an open-access resource available at URL http://www.cazypedia.org.

With the development of functional and structural analyses of β-Ara<i>f</i>ases from major human intestinal bacteria <i>Bifidobacterium longum</i> ssp. <i>longum</i> and <i>Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron</i>, the importance of β-Ara<i>f</i>ase to remove modified sugars has been revealed for the efficient degradation of dietary fibers by the intestinal bacteria. This minireview describes the distribution of β-Ara<i>f</i> in plant polysaccharides and glycoproteins and the findings revealed by functional and structural studies of β-Ara<i>f</i>ases from intestinal bacteria.</p>

    アラビアガムは、マメ科アカシア属の木から得られる滲出物であり、ヒトの腸内でビフィズス菌を増殖させるプレバイオティクスとしての機能がある。分子構造の大部分はII型アラビノガラクタン鎖で構成されており、側鎖に多様な修飾糖が付加することで複雑な構造を有している。ビフィズス菌によるカラマツ由来のII型AGの分解機構が明らかになったものの、これらの酵素群はアラビアガムには作用せず、ビフィズス菌の増殖機構は不明であった。筆者らはB.longumのアラビアガム資化性が菌株特異的であることに着目し、資化性試験と比較ゲノム解析によって、資化性菌にのみ共通して保存されている遺伝子クラスターを明らかにした。本遺伝子クラスターにコードされる3-O-α-D-ガラクトシル-α-L-アラビノフラノシダーゼ(GAfase)はアラビアガムの側鎖末端から二糖を遊離する新規の反応性を持つ鍵酵素であった。さらにGAfase作用後に、α1,4-Arafの分解を行いα-L-アラビノフラノシダーゼとエキソ-β-1,3-ガラクターゼが協調的に作用していることを見出し、B.longumにおけるアラビアガム分解代謝機構の全容を明らかにした。(著者抄録)

    L-Arabinose is a widely occurring sugar in plant cell wall polysaccharides and proteoglycans such as arabinan, arabinoxylan, arabinogalactan protein (AGP), and extensin. Bifidobacterium adolescentis encodes a gene cluster for L-arabinose degradative enzymes. In this study, we cloned and characterized GH27 β-L-arabinopyranosidase (BAD_1525), GH51 α-L-arabinofuranosidase (BAD_1524), GH43 α-L-arabinofuranosidase (BAD_1527), GH36 β-L-arabinopyranosidase (BAD_1528), and GH127β-L-arabinofuranosidase (BAD_1529) from B. adolescentis JCM1275.

    We initially aimed to study the structure and function of uncharacterized enzyme from plants that belong to DUF1680. Although we examined heterologous expression of the genes from Arabidopsis thaliana and Oryza sativa under various conditions, they did not express or expressed as insoluble aggregates. We determined a novel crystal structure of a GH146 β-L-arabinofuranosidase from plant pathogen, Xanthomonas. The active site of the Xanthomonas enzyme was cysteine, like the case of GH127 enzyme (HypBA1), and the enzyme had a novel carbohydrate-binding module domain.
