Title: Addition of a carbohydrate-binding module enhances cellulase penetration into cellulose substrates

Abstract

Cellulases are of great interest for application in biomass degradation, yet the molecular details of the mode of action of glycoside hydrolases during degradation of insoluble cellulose remain elusive. To further improve these enzymes for application at industrial conditions, it is critical to gain a better understanding of not only the details of the degradation process, but also the function of accessory modules. Method. We fused a carbohydrate-binding module (CBM) from family 2a to two thermophilic endoglucanases. We then applied neutron reflectometry to determine the mechanism of the resulting enhancements. Catalytic activity of the chimeric enzymes was enhanced up to three fold on insoluble cellulose substrates as compared to wild type. Importantly, we demonstrate that the wild type enzymes affect primarily the surface properties of an amorphous cellulose film, while the chimeras containing a CBM alter the bulk properties of the amorphous film. Our findings suggest that the CBM improves the efficiency of these cellulases by enabling digestion within the bulk of the film.

Figure 1 Figure 1: Chimeric cellulases (CD-CBM) show higher soluble sugar production from insoluble microcrystalline cellulose (MCC). Two insoluble substrates, microcrystalline cellulose and ionic liquid-pretreated microcrystalline cellulose, were used for this assay. a) Cel9A, Cel9Ako*, Cel9A-CBM, Cel9Ako-CBM*, CBM alone, and Cel9A + CBM untethered; b) Cel5A, Cel5Ako, Cel5A-CBM, Cel5Ako-CBM, CBM alone,more » and Cel5A + CBM untethered. Cellulases were loaded at 200 nM with either 50 mg/ml MCC or IL-MCC at 50°C for 24 h, and DNS assay was used to quantify sugar release with a cellobiose standard curve. *Inactive catalytic domain is indicated with the letters “ko”.« less
