Cyclodextrin glucanotransferase (CGTase; EC 2.4.1.19) produces cyclodextrin from starch. The CGTase molecule is composed of four globular domains, A, B, C, and D. In order to gain better understanding of the amylolytic and cyclization mechanisms of CGTase, mutant CGTases were constructed from a CGTase gene (cgt1) of Bacillus stearothermophilus NO2. Cgt1-F191Y (Phe at position 191 was replaced by Tyr), Cgt1-F191Y-F255Y, Cgt1-W254V-F255I, Cgt1-W254V, and Cgt1-F255I were constructed for the analysis of the NH2-terminal region. It was revealed that amino acids surrounding a spiral amylose are important for cyclization characteristics and that hydrophobic amino acids just after the Glu catalytic site play an important role in the hydrolysis characteristics of the enzyme. Mutant CGTases Cgt1-T591F and Cgt1-W629F were also constructed to study the role of a second substrate-binding site in domain D, and it was suggested that substrate binding at both domains A and D stabilized the enzyme and optimized cyclodextrin production.

The glucoconjugation between linear chimeric α-(1→4)- and α-(1→6)-glucosidic segments exhibits functional properties throughout their structure. In this study, we enzymatically synthesized three new series of chimeric nonreducing isomaltomegalosaccharides (N-IMS-n/m), each featuring a constant n, α-(1→4)-segment (average degree of polymerization, DP = 22-25) at the nonreducing terminal, and varying m, α-(1→6)-main chain lengths (DP = 7-53). The synthesized compounds-N-IMS-25/7, N-IMS-24/19, and N-IMS-22/53-were compared to amylose (DP = 28) and previous samples of N-IMS-15/35 and D-IMS-28.

β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) is an important cyclic oligosaccharide, which is widely applicated in foods, environmental protection, and cosmetics, primarily prepared from enzymatic synthesis in traditional industry. However, several challenges persist, including cumbersome processes and difficulties in achieving continuous fermentation and catalysis. This research introduced a biofilm-based immobilized fermentation, integrating with enzyme catalysis system of surface display in Bacillus subtilis.

Article Synopsis
- * The study found that glycosylation efficiencies for various polyphenols were significantly higher—up to 20.9 times—compared to non-complexed systems.
- * The research identified the rate-limiting step in the glycosylation process, showing that the enzyme's ability to open cyclodextrin was much more effective than its ability to glycosylate polyphenols, leading to an optimal yield of 84.1% for rutin.
