description | Soy isoflavones are phytochemicals that possess various beneficial physiological properties such as anti-aging, anti-tumor, and antioxidant properties. Since soy isoflavones exist in glycoside forms, their bioavailability requires initial hydrolysis of the sugar moieties bound to them to be efficiently absorbed through the gut epithelium. Instead of conventional chemical hydrolysis using acids or organic solvents, alternative strategies for enhancing the bioavailability of soy isoflavones using biological methods are gaining attention. Here, we engineered Leuconostoc citreum isolated from Korean kimchi for efficient bioconversion of soy isoflavone glycosides into their aglycone forms to enhance their bioavailability. We first constructed an expression module based on the isoflavone hydrolase (IH)-encoding gene of Bifidobacterium lactis, which mediates conversion of isoflavone glycosides to aglycone forms. Using a high copy number plasmid and bicistronic expression design, the IH was successfully synthesized in L. citreum. Additionally, we determined enzymatic activity of the IH using an in vivo β-glucosidase assay and confirmed its highly efficient bioconversion efficiency for various types of isoflavone glycosides. Finally, we successfully demonstrated that the engineered L. citreum could convert isoflavone glycosides present in fermented soymilk into aglycones. |
