Di-O-alpha-maltosyl-beta-cyclodextrin ((G2)(2)-beta-CD) was synthesized from 6-O-alpha-maltosyl-beta-cyclodextrin (G2-beta-CD) via a transglycosylation reaction catalyzed by TreX, a debranching enzyme from Sulfolobus solfataricus P2. TreX showed no activity toward glucosyl-beta-CD, but a transfer product (1) was detected when the enzyme was incubated with maltosyl-beta-CD, indicating specificity for a branched glucosyl chain bigger than DP2. Analysis of the structure of the transfer product (1) using MALDI-TOF/MS and isoamylase or glucoamylase treatment revealed it to be dimaltosyl-beta-CD, suggesting that TreX transferred the maltosyl residue of a G2-beta-CD to another molecule of G2-beta-CD by forming an alpha-1,6-glucosidic linkage. When [(14)C]-maltose and maltosyl-beta-CD were reacted with the enzyme, the radiogram showed no labeled dimaltosyl-beta-CD; no condensation product between the two substrates was detected, indicating that the synthesis of dimaltosyl-beta-CD occurred exclusively via transglycosylation of an alpha-1,6-glucosidic linkage. Based on the HPLC elution profile, the transfer product (1) was identified to be isomers of 6(1),6(3)- and 6(1),6(4)-dimaltosyl-beta-CD. Inhibition studies with beta-CD on the transglycosylation activity revealed that beta-CD was a mixed-type inhibitor, with a K(i) value of 55.6 micromol/mL. Thus, dimaltosyl-beta-CD can be more efficiently synthesized by a transglycosylation reaction with TreX in the absence of beta-CD. Our findings suggest that the high yield of (G2)(2)-beta-CD from G2-beta-CD was based on both the transglycosylation action mode and elimination of the inhibitory effect of beta-CD.

Article Synopsis
- GH29A α-l-fucosidases are enzymes that help break down specific sugars in glycoconjugates and can also be used to create human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs) through a process called transglycosylation.
- Researchers used bioinformatics tools and phylogenetic clustering to identify and analyze new microbial GH29A α-l-fucosidases from an underexplored group, as well as previously known enzymes, to determine their biochemical properties and behavior under different conditions.
- The study found that transglycosylation of certain substrates was most effective at neutral to alkaline pH levels and revealed new structural insights into how these enzymes function, particularly regarding regioselectivity in product formation.

This study presents the enzymatic synthesis of resveratrol-3,4'-O-α-diglucoside (RDG) using a hyperactive O-α-glycoligase (MalA-D416R/Q450S) and α-glucopyranosyl fluoride as the donor substrate. The transglycosylation rate for resveratrol by MalA-D416R/Q450S was maximized in 100 mM Tris-HCl (pH 9.5) containing 20 % DMSO at 45°C.

Achieving enzymatic food processing at high substrate concentrations can significantly enhance production efficiency; however, related studies are notably insufficient. This study focused on the enzymatic synthesis of fructooligosaccharides (FOS) at high temperature and high substrate concentration. Results revealed that increased viscosity and limited substrate solubility in high-concentration systems could be alleviated by raising the reaction temperature, provided it aligned with the enzyme's thermostability.
