Production of α-rhamnosidases from Lactobacillus plantarum WCFS1 and their role in deglycosylation of dietary flavonoids naringin and rutin
This work addresses the amino acid sequence, structural analysis, biochemical characterization and glycosidase activity of two recombinant α-rhamnosidases, Ram1 and Ram2, from Lactobacillus plantarum WCFS1. The substrate specificity of both enzymes towards the disaccharide rutinose and natural dietary flavonoids naringin and rutin was also determined and compared to that of a commercial multienzyme complex (Pectinex Ultra Passover, PPO). Ram1 is a less acidic- and heat-active enzyme than Ram2 and exhibited a high activity towards pNP-α-L-rhamnopyranoside, but it was unable to hydrolyze neither rutinose, naringin or rutin. In contrast, Ram2 enzyme showed a substrate specificity towards α-(1➔6) glycosidic flavonoids, such as rutin, and the disaccharide rutinose. The mechanism of action of Ram2 towards rutin was elucidated and revealed the potential cost-effective and selective production of the monoglycosylated flavonoid isoquercetin (quercetin-3-O-glucoside). PPO efficiently converted both naringin and rutin into their corresponding aglycones. These findings revealed the potential usefulness of PPO for the improvement of sensory properties of beverages through debittering of citrus juices, as well as the potential use of Ram2 to selectively produce isoquercetin, a highly valued and bioactive flavonoid whose production is not currently affordable.
