Temperature-Dependent Structure–Function Properties of Bacterial Xylose Isomerase Enzyme for Food Applications: An In Silico Study

Xylose Isomerase (XI) is an intramolecular oxidoreductase enzyme and catalyzes the reversible conversion of ketoses and aldoses in addition to the bioconversion of ethanol from xylose in the production of bioethanol from hemicellulose. It has a broad range of industrial applications in the food and...

description Xylose Isomerase (XI) is an intramolecular oxidoreductase enzyme and catalyzes the reversible conversion of ketoses and aldoses in addition to the bioconversion of ethanol from xylose in the production of bioethanol from hemicellulose. It has a broad range of industrial applications in the food and pharmaceutical sectors, particularly in the production of the sweetener high fructose corn syrup (HFCS). It is one of the most widely used industrial enzymes after protease. Taking this into consideration, four bacterial XI sources were selected based on growth temperature, i.e., psychrophile, mesophile, thermophile, and hyperthermophile, for analyzing Xylose Isomerase’s structure-function characteristics. It was found that thermophilic XI was structurally less stable than mesophilic and hyperthermophilic XI, whereas structural plasticity ran opposite towards mesophiles. The interaction of xylose isomerase (XI) with two ligands, namely Amino-2-Hydroxymethyl-Propane-1,3-Diol and (4R)-2-Methylpentane-2,4- Diol, was also studied. Mesophilic XI demonstrated better binding affinity with structurally stabilizing amino acids (Ala, Asp, Gly, Leu, and Arg). In comparison, Thermophilic XI showed nearly similar binding affinity with both Amino-2-Hydroxymethyl-Propane-1,3-Diol and (4R)-2-Methylpentane-2,4-Diol. The results of this investigation suggest that thermophilic XI, followed by mesophilic XI, would be the most appropriate for establishing process stability and sustainability in the food industry.
