RESUMEN
A safe, efficient, environmentally friendly process for producing isomaltulose is needed. Here, the biocatalyst, sucrose isomerase (SIase) from Erwinia rhapontici NX-5, displayed on the surface of Bacillus subtilis 168 spores (food-grade strain) was applied for isomaltulose production. The anchored SIase showed relatively high bioactivity, suggesting that the surface display system using CotX as the anchoring protein was successful. The stability of the anchored SIase was also significantly better. Thermal stability analysis showed that 80% of relative activity was retained after incubation at 40 °C and 45 °C for 60 min. To develop an economical industrial fermentation medium, untreated beet molasses (30 g/L) and cold-pressed soybean powder (50 g/L) were utilised as the main broth components for SIase pilot-scale production. Under the optimal conditions, the productive spores converted 92% of sucrose after 6 h and the conversion rate was 45% after six cycles. Isomaltulose production with this system using the agricultural residues, untreated beet molasses and soybean powder, as substrates is cost-effective and environmentally friendly and can help to overcome issues due to the genetic background.

A green process and environmentally benign process is highly desirable in the development of enzymatic catalysis. In this work, the shuttle plasmid pHA01 was constructed and the sucrose isomerase (SIase) was expressed in Bacillus subtilis WB800. The optimal nitrogen and carbon sources for SIase expression were yeast extract (15g/L) and un-pretreated cane molasses (UCM, 20g/L), respectively. After the UCM fed, the whole cell activity reached 5.2U/mL in a 7.5L fermentor. Optimum catalytic temperature and pH of whole cell were 35°C and 5.5, respectively. Although the biologic membrane reactor (BMR) system consecutively worked for 12 batches, the sucrose conversion remained higher than 90%, indicating the BMR system had a greater operational stability. Furthermore, isomaltulose production using the BMR system with low-cost cane molasses as its substrate not only reduces the production cost and mediates environmental pollution, but also solves the genetic background problem of the non-food-grade strains.

The synthesis of mimics of the α(1â6)- and α(1â4)-linked disaccharides isomaltose and maltose featuring a bicyclic sp(2)-iminosugar nonreducing moiety O-, S-, or N-linked to a glucopyranoside residue is reported. The strong generalized anomeric effect operating in sp(2)-iminosugars determines the α-stereochemical outcome of the glycosylation reactions, independent of the presence or not of participating protecting groups and of the nature of the heteroatom. It also imparts chemical stability to the resulting aminoacetal, aminothioacetal, or gem-diamine functionalities. All the three isomaltose mimics behave as potent and very selective inhibitors of isomaltase and maltase, two α-glucosidases that bind the parent disaccharides either as substrate or inhibitor. In contrast, large differences in the inhibitory properties were observed among the maltose mimics, with the O-linked derivative being a more potent inhibitor than the N-linked analogue; the S-linked pseudodisaccharide did not inhibit either of the two target enzymes. A comparative conformational analysis based on NMR and molecular modelling revealed remarkable differences in the flexibility about the glycosidic linkage as a function of the nature of the linking atom in this series. Thus, the N-pseudodisaccharide is more rigid than the O-linked derivative, which exhibits conformational properties very similar to those of the natural maltose. The analogous pseudothiomaltoside is much more flexible than the N- or O-linked derivatives, and can access a broader area of the conformational space, which probably implies a strong entropic penalty upon binding to the enzymes. Together, the present results illustrate the importance of taking conformational aspects into consideration in the design of functional oligosaccharide mimetics.

Two different techniques of glucosyltransferase immobilization were studied for the conversion of sucrose into isomaltulose. The optimum conditions for immobilization of Erwinia sp. glucosyltransferase onto Celite 545, determined using response surface methodology, was pH 4.0 and 170 U of glucosyltransferase/g of Celite 545. Using this conditions more than 60% conversion of sucrose into isomaltulose can be obtained. The immobilization of glucosyltransferase was also studied by its entrapment in microcapsules of low-methoxyl pectin and fat (butter and oleic acid). The non-lyophilized microcapsules of pectin, containing the enzyme and fat, showed higher glucosyltransferase activity, compared with lyophilized microcapsules containing enzyme plus fat, and also lyophilized microcapsules containing enzyme without fat addition. The non-lyophilized microcapsules of pectin containing the glucosyltransferase and fat, converted 30% of sucrose into isomaltulose in the first batch. However the conversion decreased to 5% at the 10th batch, indicating inactivation of the enzyme.

The action modes of an oligosaccharide-producing multifunctional amylase (OPMA) were investigated using glucose and some oligosaccharides as its substrates. OPMA did not cause the hydrolysis of maltose or isomaltose, but it catalyzed the alpha-1,6-transglycosylation of maltose to produce isomaltose or did the self-condensation of isomaltose to form isomaltotetraose and 4-O-alpha-isomaltosyl isomaltose. OPMA exhibited strong alpha-1,6-transglycosylation activity in addition to its alpha-1,4-hydrolytic activity on higher oligosaccharides substrates rather than bisaccharides. OPMA displayed high acceptor specificity in its transglycosylation or condensation reaction. OPMA seemed to only take glucose or isomaltose as the acceptor molecule in its transglycosylation or condensation reaction, which made glucose or isomaltose form higher products, and as a result, glucose or isomaltose were absent in the final products. In view of the simultaneously formation of several transglycosylation or condensation products, it was predicted that there might be separate donor and acceptor sites in OPMA's active center and the fact that the catalytically active form of this enzyme included its homodimer or homotrimer supported this prediction. Accordingly, a special pathway, isomaltose pathway, for OPMA catalysis was proposed to emphasize the central or important signification of isomaltose in OPMA catalysis.

The orbital (negative hyperconjugation) contribution to the generalized anomeric effect is highly increased in bicyclic gem-diamines with a pseudoamide-type endocyclic nitrogen atom, which has been exploited for the stereoselective synthesis of configurationally stable alpha-N-linked azadisaccharide heteroanalogues of the natural disaccharides maltose and isomaltose as aglycon-sensitive inhibitors of isomaltase.

Palatinose (isomaltulose, alpha-D-glucosylpyranosyl-1,6-D-fructofuranose), a nutritional and acariogenic reducing sugar, is industrially obtained from sucrose by using immobilized cells of Protaminobacter rubrum that produce the sucrose isomerase SmuA. The isomerization of sucrose catalyzed by this enzyme also results in the formation of trehalulose (alpha-D-glucosylpyranosyl-1,1-D-fructofuranose) in smaller amounts and glucose, fructose and eventually isomaltose as by-products, which lower the yield of the reaction and complicate the recovery of palatinose. The determination of the three-dimensional structure of SmuA will provide a basis for rational protein-engineering studies in order to optimize the industrial production of palatinose. A recombinant form of the 67.3 kDa SmuA enzyme has been crystallized in the native state by the vapour-diffusion method. Crystals belong to the orthorhombic space group P2(1)2(1)2(1), with unit-cell parameters a = 61.6, b = 81.4, c = 135.6 A, and diffract to 1.95 A resolution on a synchrotron-radiation source.

Enzymatic transglycosylation using four possible monodeoxy analogs of p-nitrophenyl alpha-D-glucopyranoside (Glc alpha-O-pNP), modified at the C-2, C-3, C-4, and C-6 positions (2D-, 3D-, 4D-, and 6D-Glc alpha-O-pNP, respectively), as glycosyl donors and six equivalents of ethyl beta-D-thioglucopyranoside (Glc beta-S-Et) as a glycosyl acceptor, to yield the monodeoxy derivatives of glucooligosaccharides were done. The reaction was catalyzed using purified Aspergillus niger alpha-glucosidase in a mixture of 50 mM sodium acetate buffer (pH 4.0)/CH3CN (1:1 v/v) at 37 degrees C. High activity of the enzyme was observed in the reaction between 2D-Glc alpha-O-pNP and Glc beta-S-Et to afford the monodeoxy analogs of ethyl beta-thiomaltoside and ethyl beta-thioisomaltoside that contain a 2-deoxy alpha-D-glucopyranose moiety at their glycon portions, namely ethyl 2-deoxy-alpha-D-arabino-hexopyranosyl-(1,4)-beta-D-thioglucopyranoside and ethyl 2-deoxy-alpha-D-arabino-hexopyranosyl-(1,6)-beta-D-thioglucopyranoside, in 6.72% and 46.6% isolated yields (based on 2D-Glc alpha-O-pNP), respectively. Moreover, from 3D-Glc alpha-O-pNP and Glc beta-S-Et, the enzyme also catalyzed the synthesis of the 3-deoxy analog of ethyl beta-thioisomaltoside that was modified at the glycon alpha-D-glucopyranose moiety, namely ethyl 3-deoxy-alpha-D-ribo-hexopyranosyl-(1,6)-beta-D-thioglucopyranoside, in 23.0% isolated yield (based on 3D-Glc alpha-O-pNP). Products were not obtained from the enzymatic reactions between 4D- or 6D-Glc alpha-O-pNP and Glc beta-S-Et.

The enzymatic synthesis of 6-O-alpha-glucopyranosyl-glucopyranose (isomaltose) was achieved. The regiospecific transglycosylation reaction was catalyzed by a crude preparation of alpha-D-glucosidase from Aspergillus niger, using p-nitrophenyl alpha-D-glucopyranose as the donor and glucopyranose as the acceptor. The yield of the reaction was 59% on a molar basis with respect to the donor. The structural identity of the product was fully determined by HPLC, HPAEC-PAD, ionspray mass spectrometry and (13)C NMR.

A novel approach has been developed for the synthesis of methyl alpha-isomaltoside (10), comprising, as the first step, electrochemical conversion of the hydroxyl groups of methyl alpha-D-glucopyranoside into the corresponding anions. The anions subsequently react with tetra-O-acetyl-alpha-D-glucopyranosyl bromide to give methyl 2',3',4',6'-tetra-O-acetyl-alpha-isomaltoside (8) as the main product, O-deacetylation of which affords 10. The glycosidation proceeds under complete stereochemical control.

The syntheses of several alpha-linked thioglycosidic disaccharides are described, including thiokojibiose octaacetate (1), thionigerose (2), and thioisomaltose (3). The title compounds were synthesized by coupling 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-1.5-acetyl-1-thio-alpha-D-glucopyranose (4) with either 1,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-2-O-trifluoromethylsulfonyl-beta-D-manno pyr anose (7), 1,2:5,6-di-O-isopropylidene-3-O-trifluoromethylsulfonyl-alpha-D-++ +allofuranose (15), or methyl 2,3,4-tri-O-acetyl-6-deoxy-6-iodo-alpha-D-glucopyranoside (17), respectively. Thiokojibiose octaacetate in turn was converted to 3,4,6-tri-O-acetyl-2-S-(2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-alpha-D-glucopyranosyl)-2 -thio-alpha-D-glucopyranosyl bromide (9), which was used to obtain several related disaccharides and one trisaccharide. All of the compounds, including thiomaltose and thiotrehalose, which were resynthesized by known methods, were tested for their anti-HIV activity in either CEM or MT-2 cells. Anti-HIV activity was noted only with thiokojibiose octaacetate and its 1-thio analogue (14), which had IC50 values of 51 and 48 micrograms/mL in CEM cells, respectively.
