Description
ENZYMATIC HYDROLYSIS OF FUCANS
BACKGROUND
[0001] Fucans (including fucoidan) are sulfated polysaccharides. In general terms, this means that they are molecules made up of a number of sugar groups, and also have sulfur atoms attached to the sugar groups. The main sugar group is called "fucose", which is sugar that has 6 carbon atoms and has the chemical formula C6E11205. "Fucoidan" (or fucoidin) indicates fucans derived from brown algae (seaweed). Fucans can exist alone, or in a mixture of other sugars, for example in a mixture of sugars such as xylose, galactose, glucose, glucuronic acid and/or mannose. These other sugars may be extracted from the seaweed or other source with the fucan.
Although fucans are currently derived from natural sources such as the brown algae (seaweeds), sea cucumbers, etc., mentioned herein, "fucan" includes polymer molecules having the chemical and structural motifs of the fucans as discussed herein regardless of the ultimate source(s) of the fucans.

[0002] Fucoidan can be obtained from a variety of species of brown algae including but not limited to: Adenocystis utricularis, Ascophyllum nodosum, Chorda ilium, Cystoseirabies marina, Durvillaea antarctica, Ecklonia kurome, Ecklonia maxima, Eisenia bicyclis, Fucus evanescens, Fucus vesiculosis, Hizikia fusiforme, Himanthalia Elongata, Kjellmaniella crassifolia, Laminaria brasiliensis, Laminaria cichorioides, Laminaria hyperborea, Laminaria japonica, Laminaria saccharina, Lessonia trabeculata, Macrocystis pyrifera, Pelvetia fastigiata, Pelvetia Canaliculata, Saccharina japonica, Saccharina latissima, Sargassum stenophylum, Sargassum thunbergii, Sargassum confusum, Sargassum fusiforme and Undaria pinnatifida.
These exemplary species are all from the taxonomic class Phaeophyceae and the majority of these species fall into the families of Fucales and Laminariaceae.
These exemplary species are all from the taxonomic class Phaeophyceae and the majority of these species fall into the families of Fucales and Laminariaceae.
[0003] Fucans including fucoidan have been shown to be efficacious in serving as a barrier device to prevent, inhibit, and treat the formation of fibrous adhesions. They have also found use in the treatment of other related diseases and conditions.
[0004] Thus, there has gone unmet a need for improved methods in the preparation of fucan compositions having desired molecular weight distributions. Previous works discuss the use of a fucan specific fucanase from a flavobacterian strain 5W5, known as substrate specific MfFcnA

The present methods, systems, etc., are directed, among other advantages, to providing enzymes capable of hydrolyzing selected fucan compositions and methods for obtaining desired molecular weight fucan distribution compositions from a feedstock fucan composition using these enzymes.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[00019] The methods, systems, compositions etc., herein are related to fucanases capable of enzymatic hydrolysis of feedstock fucan compositions to obtain a desired lower molecular weight distribution fucans relative to a feedstock fucan composition. Thus, the fucanases discussed herein are used to selectively, controllably cleave fucans to reduce their size so that the molecular weight distribution of the fucans in a feedstock composition is selectively, controllably reduced to provide a modified fucan composition comprising a desired, lower molecular weight distribution of modified fucans.
[00020] Certain embodiments of the methods etc. are shown as examples in the Figures using fucoidan as example of a fucan. The compositions of the coding region fucanase-genetic sequences and fucanase-amino acid sequences of the respective native and synthetic fucanases are discussed.
The lower molecular weight fucan composition obtained as a product of the enzymatic hydrolysis of the feedstock fucan composition has a lower average molecular weight distribution relative to the feedstock fucan distribution. This shift in molecular weight distribution may be accompanied by an alteration in the dispersity and shape of the distribution.

This shift in molecular weight distribution may be accompanied by an alteration in the dispersity and shape of the distribution.
[00021] Turning to the development of certain fucanases discussed herein, the fucoidanolytic Psychromonas species SW5A and SW19D were isolated from brown macro algae collected from the shores of Cadboro Bay and Willows Beach (Victoria, Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada). Genomic DNA was extracted from cultured Psychromonas species SW5A and and next-generation sequencing of their genomes was performed on an Illumina MiSeq platform.
The genomes were annotated to identify putative genes encoding carbohydrate-active enzymes.
The fucanase-gene sequences encoding the enzymes P5AFcnA and P19DFcnA were identified in the genomes of the Psychromonas species Psychromonas sp. SW5A and Psychromonas sp.
SW19D during this annotation process.
The genomes were annotated to identify putative genes encoding carbohydrate-active enzymes.
The fucanase-gene sequences encoding the enzymes P5AFcnA and P19DFcnA were identified in the genomes of the Psychromonas species Psychromonas sp. SW5A and Psychromonas sp.
SW19D during this annotation process.
[00022] The fucanase-gene sequences encoding the enzymes P5AFcnA and P19DFcnA
were obtained from genomes of Psychromonas species Psychromonas sp. SW5A and Psychromonas sp. SW19D. Synthetic fucanase-genes encoding the enzymes P5AFcnA
and P19DFcnA that were codon optimized for expression in E. coil and pre-inserted into the E. coil expression plasmid pET28a were ordered from Genscript . These constructs were referred to as pET28a_p5AFcnA and pET28a P19DFcnA. The sequence fidelity of the constructs was confirmed by bi-directional DNA sequencing. Fucanases were expressed in an E.
coil over expression system with a six-histidine tag. To purify the recombinant protein, the cells were harvested, chemically lysed, and centrifuged to separate the cellular debris from cell lysate supernatant. The protein was then purified from the lysate by immobilized nickel affinity chromatography. Purified protein was dialyzed into 20 mM Tris pH 8.5 with 0.5 M NaCl buffer and concentrated to 29 jilVi for further use. The coding region sequences for the fucanase-genes of native and synthetic P5AFcnA fucanase are shown in Tables 1A and 1B
respectively, SEQ ID
NOS. 1 and 2, respectively. The coding region sequences for the fucanase-genes of native and synthetic P19DFcnA fucanase are shown in Tables 1C and 1D respectively, SEQ ID

fucanase are shown in Tables 1E and 1F respectively, SEQ ID NOS. 5 and 6, respectively. The amino acid sequences for the native and synthetic P19DFcnA fucanase are shown in Tables 1G and 111 respectively, SEQ ID NOS. 7 and 8, respectively. In some embodiments, the nucleic acid sequences shown herein are controllably expressed in suitable expression vectors, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expression vector. Such expression vectors can be optimized for either prokaryotic or eukaryotic expression and can include plasmids, expression viruses, cell-free systems, etc., as desired. The expression vectors can also include selected primers, origins of replication, etc., as desired.

EXAMPLES
EXAMPLES
[00036] The above method discussed in FIG. 1 was applied to individual feedstock fucoidan compositions extracted from Saccharina japonica, Ascophyllum nodosum, Pelvetia canaliculata, Fucus vesiculosus, Laminaria hyperborea and Macrocystis pyifera. The fucanases used were the previously discussed MfFcnA fucanase (Colin, et al., 2006) and the P5AFcnA and P19DFcnA
fucanases obtained as discussed above. Feedstock fucoidan compositions were dissolved at about between 0.1 and 0.2% w/v in 20mM Tris buffer at pH 8.5 with 0.5M NaCl. 29 jilVi solutions of MfFcnA, P5AFcnA or P19DFcnA in the same Tris buffer at pH 8.5 with 0.5M NaCl were independently added to separate solutions of feedstock fucoidan composition to a final concentration of 10 [tM fucanase. The feedstock fucoidan composition-fucanase mixtures were all incubated at 25 C for 15 hours on an orbital shaker at 100 rpm.

The feedstock fucoidan composition-fucanase mixtures were all incubated at 25 C for 15 hours on an orbital shaker at 100 rpm.
[00037] After 15 hours, the occurrence of hydrolysis in each individual feedstock fucoidan composition-fucanase mixture was analyzed using a carbohydrate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (C-PAGE) technique: 10 [IL of the hydrolyzed fucoidan composition-fucanase mixture was mixed with 10 [IL of a loading dye (10% v/v glycerol, 0.01% w/v bromophenol blue in water). The resulting mixture was loaded onto a 24% w/v C-PAGE gel run on ice first at a voltage of 100 Volts for 15 minutes, secondly at a voltage of 150 Volts for 20 minutes and finally at a voltage of 200 Volts for 20 minutes.
[00038] The results of the C-PAGE analysis are shown in Table 2 below where the occurrence of hydrolysis is assessed. Examples of the absence of hydrolysis and the presence of hydrolysis on the C-PAGE gel are shown in FIG. 2A, FIG. 2B and FIG. 2C. In the table, a `+' denotes where hydrolysis of the fucan composition was observed on the gel, a `-' denotes where the hydrolysis of the fucan composition was not observed on the gel and `+/-' denotes where minimal hydrolysis is observed.
