摘要： Chitooligosaccharides (COS) possess versatile functional properties that have found extensive applications across various fields. Chitosanase can specifically hydrolyze beta-1,4 glycosidic bonds in chitosan to produce COS. In this study, Csn-PD, a glycoside hydrolase family 46 chitosanase from Paenibacillus dendritiformis , which produces (GlcN)2 as its main product, was rationally redesigned aiming to improve its catalytic performance. Based on the results of molecular docking analysis and multiple sequence alignment, four amino acid residues in Csn-PD (I101, T120, T220, and Y259) were pinpointed for targeted mutations. Beneficial mutations in terms of enhanced catalytic activity were then combined by site-directed mutagenesis. Notably, the most promising variant, CsnPDT6 (Csn-PD I101M/T120E/T220G), exhibited an impressive eight-fold surge in activity compared to the wild-type Csn-PD. This heightened enzymatic activity was complemented by an enhanced pH stability profile. A compelling feature of Csn-PDT6 is its preservation of the hydrolytic product profile observed in Csn-PD. This characteristic further accentuates its candidacy for the targeted production of (GlcN)2. The success of our strategic approach is vividly illustrated by the significant improvements achieved in the catalytic performance of the chitosanase, encompassing both its activity and stability. These developments offer a valuable model that may have implications for the semi-rational design of other enzymes.
