ABSTRACT
The pseudotetrasaccharide acarbose, produced by Actinoplanes sp. SE50/110, is a relevant secondary metabolite used in diabetes type II medication. Although maltose plays a crucial role in acarbose biosynthesis, the understanding of the maltose/maltodextrin metabolism and its involvement in acarbose production is at an early stage. Here, we reconstructed the predicted maltose-maltodextrin pathway that involves four enzymes AmlE, MalZ, MalP, and MalQ. An investigation of enzyme activities was conducted through in vitro assays, leading to an expansion of previously postulated substrate spectra. The maltose-induced α-glucosidase AmlE is noteworthy for its high hydrolysis rate of linear α-1,4-glucans, and its capability to hydrolyze various glycosidic bonds. The predicted maltodextrin glucosidase MalZ showed slow hydrolysis activity on linear α-glucans, but it was resistant to acarbose and capable of releasing glucose from acarbose. AmlE compensates for the low activity of MalZ to ensure glucose supply. We determined the enzyme activity of MalP and its dual function as maltodextrin and glycogen phosphorylase. The 4-α-glucanotransferase MalQ plays a central role in the maltose/maltodextrin metabolism, alongside MalP. This study confirmed the simultaneous degradation and synthesis of long-chain α-glucans. The product distribution showed that with an increasing number of glycosidic bonds, less glucose is formed. We found that MalQ, like its sequence homolog AcbQ from the acarbose biosynthetic gene cluster, is involved in the formation of elongated acarviosyl metabolites. However, MalQ does not participate in the elongation of acarbose 7-phosphate, which is likely the more readily available acceptor molecule in vivo. Accordingly, MalQ is not involved in the formation of acarviosyl impurities in Actinoplanes sp. SE50/110.
