Here, we report functional and structural characterization of two coleopteran alpha-amylases viz. Callosobruchus chinensis alpha-amylase (CcAmy) and Tribolium castaneum alpha-amylase (TcAmy) along with their interactions with proteinaceous and non-proteinaceous alpha-amylase inhibitors. Secondary structural alignment of CcAmy and TcAmy with other coleopteran alpha-amylases revealed conserved motifs, active sites, di-sulfide bonds and two point mutations at spatially conserved substrate or inhibitor binding sites. Homology modeling and molecular docking showed structural differences between these two enzymes. Both the enzymes had similar optimum pH values but differed in their optimum temperature. Overall, pattern of enzyme stabilities were similar under various temperature and pH conditions. Further, CcAmy and TcAmy differed in their substrate affinity and catalytic efficiency towards starch and amylopectin. HPLC analysis detected common amylolytic products like maltose and maltotriose while glucose and malto-tetrose were unique in CcAmy and TcAmy catalyzed reactions respectively. At very low concentrations, wheat alpha-amylase inhibitor was found to be superior over the acarbose as far as complete inhibition of amylolytic activities of CcAmy and TcAmy was concerned. Mechanism underlying differential amylolytic reaction inhibition by acarbose was discussed. (C) 2016 Elsevier Ltd.

The complete gene of pre-protein (AhAI) encoding a 26 amino acid (aa) signal peptide followed by the 43 aa region and the previously identified 32 aa peptide was cloned successfully. Three cysteine residues and one disulfide bond conserved within known alpha-amylase inhibitors were present in AhAI. Identical genomic and open reading frame was found to be present in close relatives of A. hypochondriacus namely Amaranthus paniculatus, Achyranthes aspera and Celosia argentea. Interestingly, the 3'UTR of AhAI varied in these species. The highest expression of AhAI was observed in A. hypochondriacus inflorescence; however, it was not detected in the seed. We hypothesized that the inhibitor expressed in leaves and inflorescence might be transported to the seeds. Sub-cellular localization studies clearly indicated the involvement of AhAI signal peptide in extracellular secretion. Full length rAhAI showed differential inhibition against alpha-amylases from human, insects, fungi and bacteria. Particularly, alpha-amylases from Helicoverpa armigera (Lepidoptera) were not inhibited by AhAI while Tribolium castaneum and Callosobruchus chinensis (Coleoptera) alpha-amylases were completely inhibited. Molecular docking of AhAI revealed tighter interactions with active site residues of T. castaneum alpha-amylase compared to C. chinensis alpha-amylase, which could be the rationale behind the disparity in their IC50. Normal growth, development and adult emergence of C. chinensis were hampered after feeding on rAhAI. Altogether, the ability of AhAI to affect the growth of C. chinensis demonstrated its potential as an efficient bio-control agent, especially against stored grain pests.</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">3</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Article</style></work-type><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Foreign</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">3.543</style></custom4></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Philem, Pushparani D.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Yadav, Yashpal</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sunder, Avinash Vellore</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ghosh, Deepanjan</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Prabhune, Asmita</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ramasamy, Sureshkumar</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Structural and enzymatic analysis of a dimeric cholylglycine hydrolase like acylase active on N-acyl homoserine lactones</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Biochimie</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">AHL acylase</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cholyolglycine hydrolase</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Homodimer</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ntn-fold</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Shewanella loihica-PV4</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2020</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">OCT</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">177</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">108-116</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;The prevalence of substrate cross-reactivity between AHL acylases and beta-lactam acylases provides a glimpse of probable links between quorum sensing and antibiotic resistance in bacteria. Both these enzyme classes belong to the N-terminal nucleophile (Ntn)-hydrolase superfamily. Penicillin V acylases alongside bile salt hydrolases constitute the cholylglycine hydrolase (CGH) group of the Ntn-hydrolase superfamily. Here we report the ability of two acylases, Slac1 and Slac2, from the marine bacterium Shewanella loihica PV4 to hydrolyze AHLs. Three-dimensional structure of Slac1 reveals the conservation of the Ntn hydrolase fold and CGH active site, making it a unique CGH exclusively active on AHLs. Slac1homologs phylogenetically cluster separate from reported CGHs and AHL acylases, thereby representing a functionally distinct sub-class of CGH that might have evolved as an adaptation to the marine environment. We hypothesize that Slac1 could provide the structural framework for understanding this subclass, and further our understanding of the evolutionary link between AHL acylases and beta-lactam acylases.
