In the present study, generation of prebiotic fructooligosaccharides (FOS) using Aspergillus tamarii FTase was optimized by applying response surface methodology. Optimal FOS (251 g L ) was generated at 28.4°C, pH 7.0 and 50% (w/v) sucrose leading to 1.97-fold yield enhancement. The m-FTase was purified using ultrafiltration followed by HiTrap Q HP anion exchange chromatography resulting in 2.15-fold purified FTase with 12.76 U mg specific activity. Purified FTase (75 kDa) had K and V values of 1049.717 mM and 2.094 µmol min mg , respectively. FOS incorporation led to upregulation of caspase 3, caspase 9, and Bax genes suggesting mitochondrial apoptosis activation in cancer cells. The study describes characteristics of purified FTase from A. tamarii, production optimization of FOS and unravels the role of FOS in anticancer activity against HT-29 cells. PRACTICAL APPLICATION: This study provides detailed insights of kinetic and thermodynamic characteristics of purified FTase, a prebiotic FOS-generating enzyme. Moreover, the role of the apoptotic genes involved in anticancer activity, and the prebiotic potential of FOS is also investigated. These findings are important in the context of FOS applications, and the optimized production strategies make it useful for industrial application.

Manumycin A is postulated to be a specific inhibitor against the farnesyltransferase (FTase) since this effect has been shown in 1993 for yeast FTase. Since then, plenty of studies investigated Manumycin A in human cells as well as in model organisms like Some studies pointed to additional targets and pathways involved in Manumycin A effects like apoptosis. Therefore, these studies created doubt whether the main mechanism of action of Manumycin A is FTase inhibition.

Protein prenylation is a posttranslational modification involving the attachment of a C15 or C20 isoprenoid group to a cysteine residue near the C-terminus of the target substrate by protein farnesyltransferase (FTase) or protein geranylgeranyltransferase type I (GGTase-I), respectively. Both of these protein prenyltransferases recognize a C-terminal "CaaX" sequence in their protein substrates, but recent studies in yeast- and mammalian-based systems have demonstrated FTase can also accept sequences that diverge in length from the canonical four-amino acid motif, such as the recently reported five-amino acid C(x)X motif. In this work, we further expand the substrate scope of FTase by demonstrating sequence-dependent farnesylation of shorter three-amino acid "Cxx" C-terminal sequences using both genetic and biochemical assays.

Fructooligosaccharides (FOS) have widely used for the manufacture of low-calorie and functional foods, because they can inhibit intestinal pathogenic microorganism growth and increase the absorption of Ca and Mg. In this study, the novel fructosyltransferase (FTase) from Aspergillus oryzae strain S719 was successfully purified and characterized. The specific activity of the final purified material was 4200 mg with purification ratio of 66 times and yield of 26%.
