Lignocellulose, one of the most abundant renewable sources of sugar, can be converted into bioenergy through hydrolysis of cellulose and hemicellulose. Due to its renewability and availability in large quantities, bioenergy is considered as a possible alternative to fossil energy and attracts the attention of the world with increased concerns about environmental protection and energy crisis. The depolymerization of cellulosic substrate to monomer is the rate-limiting step in the bioconversion of lignocellulose by cellulolytic microbes. Cellulosome, a multienzyme complex from anaerobic cellulolytic bacteria, can efficiently degrade the cellulosic substrates. Previous studies have shown that the reconstitution of cellulosome in vitro and its heterologous expression or display on the cell surface can help to solve the low yield problem of cellulosome in cellulolytic bacteria. This paper reviews the research progress in the reconstitution of cellulosome as well as its application in biorefinery, including the construction of cellulosome as well as different methods for cellulosome reconstitution and its surface display. This review will promote the understanding of cellulosome and its reconstitution.

The cellulosome is a supramolecular multienzyme complex comprised of a wide variety of polysaccharide-degrading enzymes and scaffold proteins. The cellulosomal enzymes that bind to the scaffold proteins synergistically degrade crystalline cellulose. Here, we report in vitro reconstitution of the Clostridium thermocellum cellulosome from 40 cellulosomal components and the full-length scaffoldin protein that binds to nine enzyme molecules.

The cellulosome is a supramolecular multienzyme complex formed by species-specific interactions between the cohesin modules of scaffoldin proteins and the dockerin modules of a wide variety of polysaccharide-degrading enzymes. Cellulosomal enzymes bound to the scaffoldin protein act synergistically to degrade crystalline cellulose. However, there have been few attempts to reconstitute intact cellulosomes due to the difficulty of heterologously expressing full-length scaffoldin proteins.

Artificial cellulase complexes active on crystalline cellulose were reconstituted in vitro from a native mix of cellulosomal enzymes and CipA scaffoldin. Enzymes containing dockerin modules for binding to the corresponding cohesin modules were prepared from culture supernatants of a C. thermocellum cipA mutant.

Cellulose is an attractive feedstock for biofuel production because of its abundance, but the cellulose polymer is extremely stable and its constituent sugars are difficult to access. In nature, extracellular multi-enzyme complexes known as cellulosomes are among the most effective ways to transform cellulose to useable sugars. Cellulosomes consist of a diversity of secreted cellulases and other plant cell-wall degrading enzymes bound to a protein scaffold.
