Biochemical characterization of a novel C-terminally truncated β-galactosidase from Paenibacillus antarcticus with high transglycosylation activity

ABSTRACT: The transgalactosylase activity of β-galactosidases offers a convenient and promising strategy for conversion of lactose into high-value oligosaccharides, such as galactooligosaccharides (GOS) and human milk oligosaccharides. In this study, we cloned and biochemically characterized a novel...

Description
Summary:ABSTRACT: The transgalactosylase activity of β-galactosidases offers a convenient and promising strategy for conversion of lactose into high-value oligosaccharides, such as galactooligosaccharides (GOS) and human milk oligosaccharides. In this study, we cloned and biochemically characterized a novel C-terminally truncated β-galactosidase (PaBgal2A-D) from Paenibacillus antarcticus with high transglycosylation activity. PaBgal2A-D is a member of glycoside hydrolase family 2. The optimal pH and temperature of PaBgal2A-D were determined to be pH 6.5 and 50°C, respectively. It was relatively stable within pH 5.0–8.0 and up to 50°C. PaBgal2A-D showed high transglycosylation activity for GOS synthesis, and the maximum yield of 50.8% (wt/wt) was obtained in 2 h. Moreover, PaBgal2A-D could synthesize lacto-N-neotetraose (LNnT) using lactose and lacto-N-triose II, with a conversion rate of 16.4%. This study demonstrated that PaBgal2A-D could be a promising tool to prepare GOS and lacto-N-neotetraose.
