Abstract |
We screened for microorganisms able to use flavonoids as a carbon source; and one isolate, nominated Stilbella fimetaria SES201, was found to possess a disaccharide-specific hydrolase. It was a cell-bound ectoenzyme that was released to the medium during conidiogenesis. The enzyme was shown to cleave the flavonoid hesperidin (hesperetin 7-O-alpha-rhamnopyranosyl-beta-glucopyranoside) into rutinose (alpha-rhamnopyranosyl-beta-glucopyranose) and hesperetin. Since only intracellular traces of monoglycosidase activities (beta-glucosidase, alpha-rhamnosidase) were produced, the disaccharidase alpha-rhamnosyl-beta-glucosidase was the main system utilized by the microorganism for hesperidin hydrolysis. The enzyme was a glycoprotein with a molecular weight of 42224 Da and isoelectric point of 5.7. Even when maximum activity was found at 70 degrees C, it was active at temperatures as low as 5 degrees C, consistent with the psychrotolerant character of S. fimetaria. Substrate preference studies indicated that the enzyme exhibits high specificity toward 7-O-linked flavonoid beta-rutinosides. It did not act on flavonoid 3-O-beta-rutinoside and 7-O-beta-neohesperidosides, neither monoglycosylated substrates. In an aqueous medium, the alpha-rhamnosyl-beta-glucosidase was also able to transfer rutinose to other acceptors besides water, indicating its potential as biocatalyst for organic synthesis. The monoenzyme strategy of Acremonium sp. SES201 = DSM 24697, [corrected] as well as the enzyme substrate preference for 7-O-beta-flavonoid rutinosides, is unique characteristics among the microbial flavonoid deglycosylation systems reported. |
