Summary: Chitin is one of the most abundant biopolymers, but due to its difficult process of modification, it is often considered waste. Enzymatic treatment shows promise as an alternative method, but preparing multiple biocatalysts can be expensive. This study characterized chitin deacetylases of Mucor circinelloides IBT-83 and utilized them in the construction of a polycistronic expression system for chitin-processing enzymes.

Summary: The development of a malaria vaccine that can block transmission of the parasite from mosquitoes to humans is crucial for malaria elimination efforts. The use of Pfs25, a protein on the surface of the parasite, is being investigated as a transmission-blocking vaccine. Two recombinant forms of Pfs25, Pfs25H and Pfs25M, have been studied for their structural and immunological differences.

Summary: Fishmeal substitutes like insect-based feeds can promote sustainable pork production by providing chitin, which requires chitin-degrading enzymes for digestion. The study found that AMCase mRNA and protein expression were present in the stomach tissue of piglets from Day 14 to Day 56, suggesting an increase in AMCase secretion as piglets grow. Further research is needed to determine the appropriate inclusion of insect meals in pig diets at different growth stages.

Summary: A pectin lyase gene pnlzj5b from Aspergillus niger ZJ5 was successfully identified and overexpressed in Pichia pastoris. The recombinant protein PNLZJ5B showed high activity towards citrus pectin and its expression efficiency was improved through codon optimization. PNLZJ5B exhibited optimal activity and stability at specific temperature and pH, and it also showed positive response to the degree of pectin methylation and had a higher juice yield compared to commercial pectin lyase. These favorable enzymatic properties make PNLZJ5B potentially useful in juice processing and other food-related applications.

Summary: This study presents a method to improve protein production in the non-conventional yeast Komagataella phaffii. The method involves gene knockout screening, combining gene disruptions, and adaptive evolution to recover growth reduction. The researchers used a multiwell-formatted screening system to evaluate a large number of mutant strains and identified multiple gene disruptions that increased antibody production. They also found that the target protein and promoter could be interchangeable for the effects of gene knockouts. Adaptive evolution was used to recover reduced cell growth caused by multiple gene knockouts and explore the possibility of further enhancing protein secretion. The overall approach holds promise for improving protein production in non-conventional microorganisms.

Summary: Pichia pastoris has traditionally been regulated through methanol induction, which is toxic and flammable. In this study, a novel one-component optogenetic system based on the photosensitive protein EL222 was designed to induce gene expression under blue light and rapidly deactivate it upon switching back to darkness. The intensity of induction in the optogenetic system correlates positively with the dose and periodicity of blue light, and it demonstrates good spatial control.

Summary: The rapid development of shell biorefining in the past decade has seen an increasing application of ionic liquids (ILs) for catalyzing the conversion of marine biomass. However, due to the greater structural complexity of marine biomass, the methodological developments of ILs in this area have been limited. This study reviews the conversion of marine biomass using acidic ILs as catalysts, comparing their characteristics with lignocellulosic biomass and showing the structural effect of marine biomass on their conversion.

Summary: The engineered xylanase showed improved activity at a lower pH, with structural analysis revealing mutations that enlarged and shortened the access tunnel, changed the hydrogen bond network and decreased the pK(a) value, leading to a decreased pH optimum. This provides a basis for acid-alkaline engineering of glycoside hydrolases.

Summary: Zhd11B, a new ZEN lactone hydrolase from Fonsecaea monophora, has been characterized to efficiently hydrolyze ZEN and its more toxic derivatives α-ZAL and β-ZAL. The activity of Zhd11B towards these compounds was further improved by cap-domain swapping. The protonation of catalytic histidine residue and a more stable combination between the catalytic pocket may determine the catalytic efficiency of ZHDs. This study provides experimental evidence for understanding the mechanism of substrate specificity and offers a new strategy for molecular modification of ZHDs.

Summary: Rationally engineering the halophilicity of proteins is important for their efficient functioning in dehydrating conditions. This study identified that the surface charge distribution is a key structural feature determining the halophilicity of alpha-amylase Ha-Amy. By engineering local charge density on the protein surface, it is possible to tailor the protein's halophilicity. Importantly, this modification can be applied to non-catalytic domains, minimizing adverse effects on catalytic efficiency. These findings provide insights into protein salt-adaptation mechanisms and have practical applications in dehydrating conditions.

Summary: SUMO modification is an important post-translational regulation process in eukaryotes. The SUMO protease, Ulp1, is responsible for the maturation and deconjugation of SUMO protein. The diglycine motif is not strictly required for Ulp1 cleavage, and the P1' position of Smt3 (Ala) plays a vital role in maintaining Ulp1's precise cleavage.

Summary: p-Coumaric acid, a natural active substance with antioxidant, anticancer, and other properties, can be biologically produced via one-step deamination of L-tyrosine by tyrosine ammonia-lyase (TAL). In this study, a new highly active TAL (Fc-TAL) from Flavobacterium columnare was identified and immobilized on silica nanospheres for enhanced stability and recyclability. The immobilized TAL showed higher stability and retained over 50% activity even after 10 consecutive catalytic cycles. Furthermore, the immobilized enzyme achieved a high conversion rate and yield in the biosynthesis of p-coumaric acid under alkaline condition.

Summary: This study constructs an efficient multienzyme catalyst for breaking down recalcitrant polymers into high-value-added chemicals, which is important for sustainable biomanufacturing. By optimizing the copies of SpyC, the linker lengths, and the ratio of BpChiA and BlNagZ, an E. coli surface-assembly (ESA) system is used to colocalize a synthetic chitinosome and improve the loading efficiency and specific activity of the enzymes. The ESA-chitinosome complexes exhibit higher productivity compared to separately assembled enzymes on cell surfaces, providing new insights into the decomposition of recalcitrant polymeric substrates.

Summary: This study compares the performance of a nanofiber device and a resin column for antibody capture. The nanofiber device has a larger housing volume and lower binding capacity, but comparable eluate purity to the resin column. It shows high stability, can be used for multiple cycles, and maintains consistent eluate quality when scaled up. The use of a single nanofiber device can significantly reduce costs compared to a resin column, especially when the number of batches is limited.

Summary: Fed-batch cell culture processes are commonly used in biomanufacturing due to their simplicity and applicability in cGMP environments. However, the challenge lies in the changing physiochemical conditions within the bioreactor as the cell density changes. Traditional response surface models (RSMs) are commonly used for optimization but are limited by their use of time-invariant factors. Dynamic RSM (DRSM) models can predict the time-dependent impact of process inputs, allowing for optimization of process operations that change over time.

Summary: Water for injection (WFI) production in the biopharmaceutical industry consumes excessive amounts of water and energy. Recycling buffers can potentially save up to 90% of resources, but achieving the full theoretical potential is impossible when a risk-aware design is used. Universal risk-based assessment is important for regulatory authorities to consider the implementation of such a strategy.

Summary: In this study, heterologous expression and homologous overexpression of ABC transporter proteins AatA and MdlB were found to improve butyric acid production in C. tyrobutyricum. The overexpression of these proteins upregulated the expression levels of key enzymes in the acetate synthesis pathway and promoted the synthesis and secretion of acetic acid. Additionally, the increase in ATPase activity facilitated sugar utilization, induced extracellular secretion of acetate, and shortened fermentation periods.
