Changing surface grafting density has an effect on the activity of immobilized xylanase towards natural polysaccharides

Résumé

Enzymes are involved in various types of biological processes. In many cases, they are part of multi-component machineries where enzymes are localized in close proximity to each-other. In such situations, it is still not clear whether inter-enzyme spacing actually plays a role or if the colocalization of complementary activities is sufficient to explain the efficiency of the system. Here, we focus on the effect of spatial proximity when identical enzymes are immobilized onto a surface. By using an innovative grafting procedure based on the use of two engineered protein fragments, Jo and In, we produce model systems in which enzymes are immobilized at surface densities that can be controlled precisely. The enzyme used is a xylanase that participates to the hydrolysis of plant cell wall polymers. By using a small chromogenic substrate, we first show that the intrinsic activity of the enzymes is fully preserved upon immobilization and does not depend on surface density. However, when using beechwood xylan, a naturally occurring polysaccharide, as substrate, we find that the enzymatic efficiency decreases by 10-60% with the density of grafting. This unexpected result is probably explained through steric hindrance effects at the nanoscale that hinder proper interaction between the enzymes and the polymer. A second effect of enzyme immobilization at high densities is the clear tendency for the system to release preferentially shorter oligosaccharides from beechwood xylan as compared to enzymes in solution.
