Article Abstract
Sucrose phosphorylases are essential enzymes regulating sucrose metabolism, and it has been shown that a loop rearrangement is essential to their catalytic cycle. Crystal structures of only six sucrose phosphorylase enzymes are available. Here, we present the crystal structure of a sucrose phosphorylase from a proteobacterium, Alteromonas mediterranea, at 2.15 Å resolution. The available sucrose phosphorylase structures have shown that an important conformational change occurs during the catalytic cycle or upon mutagenesis. Interestingly, our data present clear indications of the two major conformations in the same crystal.

Sucrose-rich feedstocks are the most suitable raw materials for the production of biodegradable polymers like Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs). Cupriavidus necator, a versatile microorganism with natural ability to accumulate poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB), has been shown to utilize a diverse set of carbon sources including sugars, oils, and gaseous feedstock like CO. However, both wild-type and mutant strains of C.

β-1,3-Glucan exhibits a broad spectrum of biological activities. However, its broader application has been constrained by current production methods that are uneconomical, inefficient, and environmentally unfriendly. Here, we developed an efficient bottom-up synthesis system for β-1,3-glucan employing thermostable sucrose phosphorylase from Bifidobacterium adolescentis and β-1,3-glucan phosphorylase from Thermosipho africanus using sucrose as a substrate and generating glucose-1-phosphate as a key intermediate.

Protein engineering of Bifidobacterium adolescentis sucrose phosphorylase (BaSucP) has previously identified the P134Q enzyme variant for site-selective glycosylation at the 2-OH of glycerol. Besides improvement in selectivity, the P134Q-BaSucP additionally involves enhanced affinity for glycerol as a biochemical property potentially important for the production of 2-O-α-glucosyl glycerol (2GG), a commercialized skincare ingredient for cosmetic applications. Here, we performed a detailed kinetic model-based evaluation of P134Q-BaSucP in initial-rate and full reaction time course analyses to obtain a mechanistic interpretation and a comprehensive assessment of the process improvements achievable by the P134Q variant compared to the native enzyme.

This study reports the enzymatic synthesis of novel anticoagulant glycosides, α-salicin and α-isosalicin, through the transglycosylation of o-hydroxybenzyl alcohol (salicyl alcohol) catalyzed by marine-derived sucrose phosphorylase Suc75290. Under optimized conditions (240 g/L sucrose, 12 g/L o-hydroxybenzyl alcohol, 150 U/mL enzyme, pH 7.5, 45 °C, 20 h), a conversion rate of 79.
