Alginate lyase is a crucial enzyme for the production of alginate oligosaccharides, a versatile functional sugar widely utilized in the pharmaceutical, agricultural, and food industries. However, achieving high-level expression of alginate lyase in food-grade remains a significant challenge. This study revealed that the alginate lyase from sp. YN15 (PyAly) is secreted via a signal peptide-independent, nonclassical pathway in , while its native signal peptide is essential for translational initiation. To enhance PyAly translation, various N-terminal coding sequences (NCSs) and 5' untranslated region (5'-UTR) elements were employed to replace the native signal peptide of PyAly and the original 5'-UTR of the pP43NMK vector, respectively. The optimal combination of superior NCSs (ydbp-up, MLD62, and MLD42) and 5'-UTR elements (UTR4, UTR7, and UTR8) identified the UTR4-MLD62 pairing, which effectively reduced nontarget protein content in the secreted fraction and maximized extracellular PyAly activity, reaching 171.3 U/mL. This enhancement demonstrated the synergistic effect of NCS and 5'-UTR optimizations. This study establishes a platform for fine-tuning the translation and secretion of alginate lyase in , with promising potential for industrial enzyme production.

Marine-derived enzymes often show distinct physiological properties and great potential for industrial use. Salt ions may improve the stability and expression efficiency of marine enzymes, which requires salt-resistant host based expression platform. Aspergillus oryzae of good protein expression and secretion was evaluated and explored for this purpose.

Cellulases and glucanases can effectively degrade the seaweed polysaccharides, and the resulting oligosaccharides may be subsequently fermented or used as feed additives. To improve the utilization of marine algae, the study identified and characterized Cel5B, a novel bifunctional cellulase-glucanase from Cellulophaga lytica. Phylogenetic tree analysis indicated that Cel5B belongs to the GH5_2 subfamily.

Acidic polysaccharides such as alginate, a key component of brown algae, have unique properties conferred by their carboxyl groups. Alginate is degraded by alginate lyases, a class of polysaccharide lyases (PLs) that cleave uronic acid glycoside bonds via β-elimination. These enzymes, which are classified into various PL families, differ in structure and substrate specificity but frequently share structural motifs including β-helices, β-jelly rolls, and (α/α)6 barrels coupled with antiparallel β-sheets.

However, traditional HCHTS in well-plates often lack complexity of in vivo conditions. 3D cell cultures, like cellular spheroids/organoids, offer a promising alternative by replicating in vivo conditions and improving the reliability of drug responses.
