ABSTRACT
19
Cyclodextrins (CDs) are produced from starch by cyclodextrin glucanotransferase (CGTase),
20
which has cyclization activity. Specifically, α-CD is an important biomolecule as it is a
21
molecular carrier and soluble dietary fiber used in the food industry. Upon inspection of the
22
conserved regions of the glycoside hydrolase (GH) 13 family amylases, the amino acids
23
K232 and H233 of CGTase were identified as playing an important role in enzyme reaction
24
specificity. A novel CD hydrolyzing enzyme, cyclodextrin glycosyl transferase (CGTase)-
25
alpha, was developed using site-directed mutagenesis at these positions. Action pattern
26
analysis using various substrates revealed that CGTase-alpha was able to hydrolyze β- and γ-
27
CD, but not α-CD. This selective CD hydrolyzing property was employed to purify α-CD
28
from a CD mixture solution. The α-CD that remained after treatment with CGTase-alpha and
29
exo-type glucoamylase was purified using hydrophobic interaction chromatography with
30
99% purity.

INTRODUCTION
37
Cyclodextrin glucanotransferase (CGTase; EC 2.4.1.19) has multiple catalytic actions
38
including disproportionation, cyclization, coupling, and hydrolysis activity.1 CGTase is an
39
extracellular enzyme that has industrial significance.2 In the starch industry, CGTase plays a
40
main role in the production of cyclodextrins (CDs), as it catalyzes cyclization reactions in
41
starch.3, 4 However, recent developments in CGTase activity have enabled us to employ this
42
enzyme for the synthesis of modified oligosaccharides using alternative acceptor substrates.1
43
Also, mutant CGTases have been developed as antistaling agents and biocatalysts for the
44
synthesis of size-specific maltooligosaccharides.5-7
45
CDs are a family of cyclic oligosaccharides composed of six, seven, and eight glycosyl units
46
with α-1,4-linkages, which are named α-, β-, and γ-CD, respectively.4 The circular
47
construction of CDs offers a hydrophobic cavity that allows the formation of inclusion
48
complexes with a variety of non-polar organic molecules of suitable sizes.1 Therefore, CDs
49
can react with various drug molecules to yield an inclusion complex.8 Among the CDs, α-CD
50
has been shown to affect the stabilization of fatty acids, decrease cholesterol levels in blood,
51
and aid in the retention of flavor compounds.9 Also, it has been reported that α-CD can
52
reduce carbohydrate digestion, and this in turn may reduce postprandial glycemic reactions to
53
carbohydrates.10 Recently, α-CD use was permitted in Europe as a dietary fiber food additive
54
and α-CGTase which produces α-CDs as main products subsequently garnered industrial
55
interest.4 Therefore, α-CD has attracted a great interest in various industries including food,
56
pharmaceutical, chemical, and agricultural areas. However, the market share of α-CD is still
57
smaller than that of other CDs because of its low production yield and high price caused by
58
its purification procedure.4 To solve these problems, genetically modified mutant CGTases,
ACS Paragon Plus Environment

59
which increase the α-CD production ratio, have been developed; however, they result in the
60
production of β- and γ-CD as well.4, 11-13
61
In this study, based on amino acid sequence alignment, we generated a mutant enzyme able to
62
hydrolyze β- and γ-CD selectively and investigated its use for the efficient purification of α-
63
CD from a CD mixture.

MATERIALS AND METHODS
66
Bacterial strains
67
Escherichia coli (E. coli) MC1061 [F±, araD139, recA13, ∆ (araABC-leu) 7696, galU, galK,
68
∆lacX74, rpsL, thi, hsdR2, and mcrB] was utilized as the bacterial host for DNA operation,
69
alteration, and expression of the CGTase enzyme.14 Escherichia coli MC1061 was grown at
70
37°C in Luria-Bertani (LB) medium [1% (w/v) Bacto-tryptone, 0.5% (w/v) yeast extract, and
71
0.5% (w/v) NaCl] containing 100 µg/mL of ampicillin.15, 16 All chemicals, including soluble
72
starch, were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich Co. (St. Louis, MO, USA).
73
Site-directed mutagenesis and sequence analysis
74
Site-directed mutagenesis was performed using the QuikChange Stratagene kit (La Jolla, CA,
75
USA). The CGTase I-5 gene in the pR2CGT plasmid was amplified with polymerase chain
76
reaction (PCR) using the following primers: CGT-N (5’-GAC GCG GTC AAC GAA ACG
77
CCA TTC GGC TGG-3’) and CGT-C (5’-GAA TGG CGT TTC GTT GAC CGC GTC CAC
78
GCG-3’).14 Eighteen cycles of PCR were performed in a heat cycler under the following
79
conditions: 30 s at 95°C, 30 s at 55°C, and 8 min at 68°C (SuperCycler SC200, Kyratec;
80
Mansfield, Australia). The PCR products were transformed into MC1061 host cells.14 The

81
transformants were cultured in LB agar medium containing 100 µg/mL of ampicillin (LBA-
82
agar).17 The mutation sites were identified using dideoxy chain-termination sequencing with
83
an ABI PRISM 3700 DNA analyzer (Applied Biosystems; Foster City, CA, USA).14
84
Purification of the CGTase mutant
85
The E. coli transformants were cultured in LB medium supplemented with ampicillin (100
86
µg/mL) for 24 h at 37°C on a shaker at 200 rpm.6 The cells were harvested by centrifugation
87
(6,500 × g for 20 min at 4°C), and the supernatant was supplemented in lysis buffer (50 mM
88
sodium acetate buffer, pH 6.0). After cell disruption using sonication, the cell extracts were
89
kept in cool in a bath (XL-2000, Qsonica, LLC; Newtown, CT; output 12, 5 min, four times)
90
and centrifuged (7000 × g for 20 min at 4°C) to obtain the supernatant.14 The supernatant was
91
purified using a β-CD affinity column with washing (50 mM sodium acetate buffer, pH 6.0)
92
and elution (50 mM sodium acetate buffer (pH 6.0), and 1% (w/v) β-CD) buffers.6, 14 The
93
purified enzymes were concentrated using a Centricon filter (Millipore, Bedford, MA, USA)
94
with 50 mM sodium acetate buffer (pH 6.0).6 The purified enzyme was analyzed using
95
sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and stained with
96
Coomassie Brilliant Blue R-250 (Sigma-Aldrich Co.; destaining solution was composed of
97
20% methanol, 10% (v/v) acetic acid, and water).18
98
Enzyme assay
99
The hydrolysis enzyme reaction was performed at 45°C in sodium acetate buffer (50 mM, pH
100
6.0) containing 0.5% (w/v) soluble starch and the hydrolytic activity of CGTase was
101
measured with the 3,5-dinitrosalicylic acid (DNS) method using 1% (w/v) β-CD as a
102
substrate.6 Absorbance at 570 nm was measured using a spectrophotometer (Multiskan FC,
103
Thermoscientific, Waltham, MI, USA). One unit (U) of hydrolysis activity was defined as the

104
amount of CGTase enzyme that was able to split a 1-µmol equivalent of glycosidic linkages
105
in β-CD in one minute. The enzyme quantity was measured using the Bradford method.19
106
Thin-layer chromatography and high-performance anion-exchange chromatography
107
analysis
108
The CGTase enzyme reaction products were analyzed using thin-layer chromatography
109
(TLC) and high-performance anion-exchange chromatography (HPAEC) as previously
110
described.14 The TLC plate (K5F, Whatman; Maidstone, UK) was preheated to 105°C for 60
111
min and then cooled for 10 min. Samples were spotted onto the plate and dried. TLC analysis
112
was performed using the following solvent mixture: n-butanol: ethanol: water = 5:5:3, v/v/v.
113
For the detection of the enzyme reaction products, the TLC plate was dried and visualized
114
using a dipping solution containing 0.3% (w/v) N-(1-naphthyl)-ethylenediamine and 5% (v/v)
115
H2SO4 in methanol, followed by heating for 10 min at 105°C. HPAEC analysis was
116
performed as previously described.14, 20 A CarboPac PA1 column (0.4 × 25 cm; Dionex,
117
Sunnyvale, CA, USA) and a DX-500 system equipped with a pulsed amperometric detector
118
(ED40, Dionex) were used for the analysis. Samples were eluted with a gradient of 600 mM
119
sodium acetate in 150 mM NaOH at a flow rate of 1.0 mL/min. Gradients of 600 mM sodium
120
acetate solution were carried out as follows: linear gradients of 10–30% for 0–10 min, 30–
121
40% for 10–16 min, 40–50% for 16–27 min, 50–60% for 27–44 min, and 60–64% for 44–60
122
min.14
123
Kinetic parameter analysis
124
The kinetic parameters of the CGTase mutant for the β- and γ-CD substrates were calculated
125
as previously described.14 The reaction mixture was composed of 500 µL of enzyme solution
126
and 500 µL of substrate in 50 mM sodium acetate buffer (pH 6.0). The enzyme reaction was
ACS Paragon Plus Environment

127
performed at pH 6.0 at 45°C. The substrate concentrations used in the kinetic study were 0.5–
128
10-fold the Michaelis constant (Km) values of the hydrolysis activity. Samples (100 µL) were
129
taken every 3 min and the enzyme reaction was terminated by boiling for 5 min. The amount
130
of hydrolyzed substrate was measured using HPAEC. The Km and kcat values were calculated
131
by fitting a Michaelis-Menten equation in the GraFit software (ver. 7.0; Erithacus Software
132
Ltd., Staines, UK).
133
Purification of α-CD from a CD mixture
134
A mixture solution containing α-, β-, and γ-CD (10 mM each) with 50 mM sodium acetate
135
buffer was reacted with the CGTase mutant enzyme (1.4 U) at 45°C for 2 h. The enzyme
136
reaction was terminated by boiling for 5 min. Then, 0.3 U of exo-type glucoamylase (AMG
137
300 L; Novozyme, Bagsvaerd, Denmark) was added to the reaction mixture. The AMG
138
reaction was carried out at 60°C for 30 min and 60 min and the remaining α-CD was purified
139
using HyperSep C18 cartridges (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Fair Lawn, NJ, USA). The
140
samples were injected into the C18 cartridges and washed using distilled water. After
141
washing, α-CD was eluted using methanol (100%). HPAEC was used to determine the yield
142
and purity of purified α-CD.
143
Sequence alignment of CGTases
144
Amino acid sequences of alpha-amylase families of the GH13 family were obtained from the
145
Carbohydrate-Active enZYmes (CAZy) database (http://www.cazy.org/GH13.html) and
146
sequence alignment of the enzymes was performed using Align X software (Invitrogen,
147
Carlsbad, CA, USA).

RESULTS
152
Mutation and preparation of CGTase
153
A multiple sequence alignment of the alpha-amylase super family allowed us to identify
154
features as targets for CGTase mutation (Figure 1). Two amino acid residues in the second
155
conserved region were strictly conserved among CD-hydrolyzing enzymes such as
156
cyclodextrinase (CDase), maltogenic amylase, and neopullulanase, which possessed
157
conserved Asn (N) and Glu (E) residues. The corresponding sites of enzymes without CD-
158
hydrolyzing activity were conserved as Lys (K) and His (H), respectively. Based on these
159
results, the K and H residues of CGTase I-5 were replaced with N and E using the
160
QuikChange site-directed mutagenesis kit. The mutation was confirmed by DNA sequencing
161
and the corresponding gene was used for enzyme expression. The CGTase mutant was
162
purified using β-CD affinity column chromatography. The molecular mass of the CGTase
163
mutant was determined using SDS-PAGE analysis (Figure 2) and the purification data are
164
shown in Table 1. The mutant CGTase was named CGTase-alpha.
165
Characterization of recombinant CGTase-alpha
166
We used the DNS method with β-CD as a substrate to determine the optimum temperature
167
and pH for CGTase-alpha activity. The optimum temperature and pH conditions at which the
168
highest CGTase-alpha activity was found were 45°C and pH 7.5, respectively (data not
169
shown).
170
The hydrolysis patterns of CGTase-alpha were measured using α-, β-, and γ-CD. The time
171
course of CD degradation during a CGTase-alpha treated reaction was analyzed using TLC.

172
β- and γ-CD were hydrolyzed gradually to small oligosaccharides by CGTase-alpha. However,
173
CGTase-alpha was unable to hydrolyze α-CD (Figure 3).
174
CGTase-alpha was reacted in a CD mixture solution with the same molar ratio of each CD for
175
24 h. Consequently, β- and γ-CD were linearized and hydrolyzed to maltose (G2), maltotriose
176
(G3), and maltotetraose (G4), but α-CD was not (Figure 4). To further examine these effects,
177
we analyzed the resistance of α-CD to enzymatic hydrolysis using HPAEC. After a 2-h
178
reaction, approximately 100% of the original α-CD remained; however, all of the β- and γ-
179
CD were hydrolyzed to maltooligosaccharides (Figure 5).
180
Kinetic study of the CGTase-alpha mutant
181
To observe the catalytic properties of CGTase-alpha, we determined its kinetic parameters
182
using different types of CDs (Table 2). CGTase-alpha did not show any catalytic activity
183
when α-CD was used as a substrate. However, the kcat/Km value of γ-CD was roughly 2-fold
184
higher than that of β-CD, which correlated with the time course analysis results (Figures 3
185
and 5).
186
Application of the CGTase-alpha mutant for α-CD purification
187
Although CGTase-alpha can hydrolyze β- and γ-CD in a CD mixture selectively, the small
188
oligosaccharides produced by the enzymatic reaction must be removed for the purification of
189
α-CD. To maximize the difference in chemical properties of α-CD and other reaction products,
190
it is necessary to hydrolyze linearized maltooligosaccharides to glucose (G1), which is small
191
and hydrophilic. Therefore, treatment with AMG was performed after the CGTase-alpha
192
reaction.
193
maltooligosaccharides into G1 from the non-reduced end.21 As shown in Figure 6, all linear
194
maltooligosaccharides in the mixture were hydrolyzed within 30 min by AMG (Figure 6).

Subsequently, α-CD and G1 were successfully separated using one-step hydrophobic
196
interaction chromatography (Figure 7). The eluted α-CD from the C18 cartridge column was
197
gathered and analyzed using HPAEC. The purity and yield of the obtained α-CD were 99 and
198
90%, respectively.

DISCUSSION
201
In general, the products of CGTase reactions contain α-, β-, and γ-CD.1, 4 The purification of
202
a single type of cyclodextrin from a CD mixture requires several steps, which can be time
203
consuming and disadvantageous for human health and the environment.1 Therefore, to enable
204
an efficient purification process, CGTases with high product specificity have been developed.
205
11, 13, 22-27
206
expression levels and their product ratio is usually lower than 90%, which limits the potential
207
application of α-CD in many fields.4, 12, 24, 28 To overcome this problem, another approach,
208
‘the solvent process’, has been developed. This method involves the addition of organic
209
solvent as a complexing agent to extract target CDs selectively.29-31 For example, in the
210
presence of 1-butanol, the α:β CD formation ratio of the CGTase increased dramatically to
211
97:3 with a 42% (w/w) conversion rate. However, this solvent process is relatively expensive,
212
flammable, and toxic. Also, the high boiling point of the solvent is disadvantageous for
213
recovery of the formed molecules.4 Therefore, more environmentally friendly and economic
214
methods are warranted.
215
In this study, instead of developing an α-CGTase that increases the α-CD production ratio,
216
we created a CGTase mutant with selective CD hydrolysis activity and suggested an
217
alternative way to increase the α-CD ratio by degrading other types of CDs. We investigated
However, compared to other kind of CGTases, α-CGTases show relatively low

218
the applicability of CGTase-alpha as an enhancing agent of α-CD production in CD mixtures.
219
Even in a CD mixture containing the same amount of all CD types, CGTase-alpha
220
successfully hydrolyzed β- and γ-CD, while α-CD remained intact (Figure 5). Additional
221
treatment with AMG degraded the maltooligosaccharides linearized by CGTase-alpha to
222
glucose, which would be useful for any subsequent purification steps, such as hydrophobicity
223
interaction chromatography, size exclusion chromatography, or immobilized yeast treatment.
224
Our results suggest that CGTase-alpha can be adapted to the α-CD purification process as an
225
agent that enhances the α-CD production ratio. In addition, this treatment is environmental
226
friendly.
227
In the GH13 family, the catalytic subsites –1 to +3 are known to be responsible for enzyme
228
reaction specificity, and these motifs are useful in guiding ‘inter-conversion’ within the GH13
229
enzymes.32 This study focused on the H233 and K232 residues, which are located at the
230
subsites +1 and +2, respectively.1, 33, 34 To introduce CD hydrolysis specificity, we replaced
231
the K232 and H233 residues of CGTase with N and E residues, respectively, which are
232
strictly conserved amino acids in the CD hydrolysis enzyme sequence (Figure 1).
233
It has been reported that α-CD is structurally more rigid and more resistant to hydrolysis by
234
amylases than other CDs.4,
235
hydrolysis activity, it did not have α-CD hydrolysis capability due to an incomplete catalytic
236
structure. Therefore, this mutant CGTase was able to hydrolyze β- and γ-CD only.
237
In conclusion, our CGTase mutant, which is able to hydrolyze β- and γ-CD, was prepared by
238
making mutations at the +1 and +2 subsite binding residues, and showed applicability for α-
239
CD purification. Our results suggest that CGTase-alpha may contribute to enhanced
240
production of α-CD.
