  • Refereed, ChemSusChem, Wiley, Photo‐Electro‐Biochemical H2 Production Using the Carbon Material‐Based Cathode Combined with Genetically Engineered Escherichia coli Whole‐Cell Biocatalysis, Yuki Honda; Risa Yuki; Reina Hamakawa; Hiroshi Fujii, Abio/bio hybrids, which incorporate biocatalysts that promote efficient and selective material conversions under mild conditions into existing catalytic reactions, have attracted considerable attention for developing new catalytic systems. This study constructed a H2‐forming biocathode based on a carbon material combined with whole‐cell biocatalysis of genetically‐engineered‒hydrogenase‐overproducing Escherichia coli for the photoelectrochemical water splitting for clean H2 production. Low‐cost and abundant carbon materials are generally not suitable for H2‐forming cathode due to their high overpotential for proton reduction; however, the combination of the reduction of an organic electron mediator on the carbon electrode and the H2 formation with the reduced mediator by the redox enzyme hydrogenase provides a H2‐forming cathodic reaction comparable to that of the noble metal electrode. The present study demonstrates that the recombinant E. coli whole cell can be employed as a part of the H2‐forming biocathode system, and the biocathode system wired with TiO2 photoanode can be a photoelectrochemical water‐splitting system without external voltage assistance under natural pH. The findings of this study expand the feasibility of applications of whole‐cell biocatalysis and contribute to obtaining solar‐to‐chemical conversions by abio/bio hybrid systems, especially for low‐cost, noble‐metal‐free, and clean H2 production., 14 Sep. 2023, 17, 1, e202300958, Scientific journal, 10.1002/cssc.202300958

  • Refereed, Applied and environmental microbiology, Improvement of ST0452 GlcNAc-1-phosphate uridyltransferase activity by the cooperative effect of two single mutations identified through structure-based protein engineering., Yuki Honda; Shogo Nakano; Sohei Ito; Mohammad Dadashipour; Zilian Zhang; Yutaka Kawarabayasi, We showed previously that the Y97N mutant of the ST0452 protein, isolated from Sulfolobus tokodaii, exhibited over 4 times higher N-acetylglucosamine-1-phosphate (GlcNAc-1-P) uridyltransferase (UTase) activity, compared with that of the wild-type ST0452 protein. We determined the three-dimensional structure of the Y97N protein to explore the detailed mechanism underlying this increased activity. The overall structure was almost identical to that of the wild-type ST0452 protein (PDB ID 2GGO), with residue 97 (Asn) interacting with the O-5 atom of N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) in the complex without metal ions. The same interaction was observed for Escherichia coli GlmU in the absence of metal ions. These observations indicated that the three-dimensional structure of the Y97N protein was not changed by this substitution but the interactions with the substrate were slightly modified, which might cause the activity to increase. The crystal structure of the Y97N protein also showed that positions 146 (Glu) and 80 (Thr) formed interactions with GlcNAc, and an engineering strategy was applied to these residues to increase activity. All proteins substituted at position 146 had drastically decreased activities, whereas several proteins substituted at position 80 showed higher GlcNAc-1-P UTase activity, compared to that of the wild-type protein. The substituted amino acids at positions 80 and 97 might result in optimized interactions with the substrate; therefore, we predicted that the combination of these two substitutions might cooperatively increase GlcNAc-1-P UTase activity. Of the four double mutant ST0452 proteins generated, T80S/Y97N showed 6.5-times-higher activity, compared to that of the wild-type ST0452 protein, revealing that these two substituted residues functioned cooperatively to increase GlcNAc-1-P UTase activity.IMPORTANCE We demonstrated that the enzymatic activity of a thermostable protein was over 4 times higher than that of the wild-type protein following substitution of a single amino acid, without affecting its thermostability. The three-dimensional structure of the improved mutant protein complexed with substrate was determined. The same overall structure and interaction between the substituted residue and the GlcNAc substrate as observed in the well-characterized bacterial enzyme suggested that the substitution of Tyr at position 97 by Asn might slightly change the interaction. This subtle change in the interaction might potentially increase the GlcNAc-1-P UTase activity of the mutant protein. These observations indicated that a drastic change in the structure of a natural thermostable enzyme is not necessary to increase its activity; a subtle change in the interaction with the substrate might be sufficient. Cooperative effects were observed in the appropriate double mutant protein. This work provides useful information for the future engineering of natural enzymes., Oct. 2018, 84, 24, e02213-18, Scientific journal, True, 10.1128/aem.02213-18

    方法として、微生物が有する金属硫化物半導体ナノ粒子の形成能と、高活性な水素生成酵素である[FeFe]-ヒドロゲナーゼを活用する。形成された硫化物半導体による光エネルギー変換と、そこで得られた還元力を用いる酵素での水素生産によって光駆動型水素生産が達成される。2020年度の成果として、大腸菌によって形成された金属硫化物半導体(硫化カドミウム、CdS)による光エネルギー変換能と、遺伝子工学的に付与した水素生成能の共役によって光駆動型水素生産系の構築に成功しており、2021年度は特に大腸菌によるCdS形成能の強化に焦点をあて、光エネルギー変換効率の向上を目指した。
    2021年度は、これまで大腸菌に元々備わっている能力に頼っていたCdS形成を、遺伝子工学により積極的に強化した。具体的にはシステインからスルフィドを遊離する酵素の遺伝子を導入し、硫化物形成の基質であるスルフィドの濃度を高めることでCdSの量や質の変化を狙った。実際に、当該遺伝子導入によって、これまでよりも高濃度のCdイオン存在下でCdSを形成し量の向上が見込まれた。さらに、生成したCdSの単位重量当たりの光エネルギー変換能の向上も見出された。現在、CdSの量や質の変化を詳細に解析している。, kaken

This feature of biocatalysis would contribute to developing an energy-saving process in industry. In an industrial application of biocatalysis, supplying energy to proceed a certain reaction has been a problem in the enzymatic reaction which requires a coenzyme, such as NADH. This study addressed this problem by developing a light-driven biocatalysis system which consists of the combination of photosensitizer and enzyme. In such system, photosensitizer serves energy to enzyme from light energy, instead of costly coenzyme supplementation. This study achieved a large-scale synthesis of porphyrin dye by genetically engineered bacteria, the photoreduction of an artificial coenzyme (MV) by the dye, and one of the light-driven biocatalysis by coupling the photoreduction of MV and the hydrogen-forming enzyme., url
