A fragment of the β-glucosidase gene from the rumen fungus Neocallimastix patriciarum J11 encodes a recombinant protein that exhibits activities in β-glucosidase and β-glucanase. Biochem Biophys Res Commun 2024; 732:150406.

Abstract
Lignocellulose, the most abundant organic waste on Earth, is of economic value because it can be converted into biofuels like ethanol by enzymes such as β-glucosidase. This study involved cloning a β-glucosidase gene named JBG from the rumen fungus Neocallimastix patriciarum J11. When expressed recombinantly in Escherichia coli, the rJBG enzyme exhibited significant activity, hydrolyzing 4-nitrophenyl-β-d-glucopyranoside and cellobiose to release glucose. Surprisingly, the rJBG enzyme also showed hydrolytic activity against β-glucan, breaking it down into glucose, indicating that the rJBG enzyme possesses both β-glucosidase and β-glucanase activities, a characteristic rarely found in β-glucosidases. When the JBG gene was expressed in Saccharomyces cerevisiae and the transformants were inoculated into a medium containing β-glucan as the sole carbon source, the ethanol concentration in the culture medium increased from 0.17 g/L on the first day to 0.77 g/L on the third day, reaching 1.3 g/L on the fifth day, whereas no ethanol was detected in the yeast transformants containing the recombinant plasmid pYES-Sur under the same conditions. These results demonstrate that yeast transformants carrying the JBG gene can directly saccharify β-glucan and ferment it to produce ethanol. This gene, with its dual β-glucosidase and β-glucanase activities, simplifies and reduces the cost of the typical process of converting lignocellulose into bioethanol using enzymes and yeast.

Recombinant GH3 β-glucosidase stimulated by xylose and tolerant to furfural and 5-hydroxymethylfurfural obtained from Aspergillus nidulans. BIORESOUR BIOPROCESS 2024; 11:77. [PMID: 39073555 PMCID: PMC11286919 DOI: 10.1186/s40643-024-00784-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/01/2024] [Accepted: 07/03/2024] [Indexed: 07/30/2024] Open
Abstract
The β-glucosidase gene from Aspergillus nidulans FGSC A4 was cloned and overexpressed in the A. nidulans A773. The resulting purified β-glucosidase, named AnGH3, is a monomeric enzyme with a molecular weight of approximately 80 kDa, as confirmed by SDS-PAGE. Circular dichroism further validated its unique canonical barrel fold (β/α), a feature also observed in the 3D homology model of AnGH3. The most striking aspect of this recombinant enzyme is its robustness, as it retained 100% activity after 24 h of incubation at 45 and 50 ºC and pH 6.0. Even at 55 °C, it maintained 72% of its enzymatic activity after 6 h of incubation at the same pH. The kinetic parameters Vmax, KM, and Kcat/KM for ρ-nitrophenyl-β-D-glucopyranoside (ρNPG) and cellobiose were also determined. Using ρNPG, the enzyme demonstrated a Vmax of 212 U mg - 1, KM of 0.0607 mmol L - 1, and Kcat/KM of 4521 mmol L - 1 s - 1 when incubated at pH 6.0 and 65 °C. The KM, Vmax, and Kcat/KM using cellobiose were 2.7 mmol L - 1, 57 U mg - 1, and 27 mmol -1 s - 1, respectively. AnGH3 activity was significantly enhanced by xylose and ethanol at concentrations up to 1.5 mol L - 1 and 25%, respectively. Even in challenging conditions, at 65 °C and pH 6.0, the enzyme maintained its activity, retaining 100% and 70% of its initial activity in the presence of 200 mmol L - 1 furfural and 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF), respectively. The potential of this enzyme was further demonstrated by its application in the saccharification of the forage grass Panicum maximum, where it led to a 48% increase in glucose release after 24 h. These unique characteristics, including high catalytic performance, good thermal stability in hydrolysis temperature, and tolerance to elevated concentrations of ethanol, D-xylose, furfural, and HMF, position this recombinant enzyme as a promising tool in the hydrolysis of lignocellulosic biomass as part of an efficient multi-enzyme cocktail, thereby opening new avenues in the field of biotechnology and enzymology.

Abstract
Chaetomium globosum can inhibit the growth of fusarium by means of their extracellular proteins. Two novel β-glucanases, designated Cgglu17A and Cgglu16B, were separated from the supernatant of C. globosum W7 and verified to have the ability to hydrolyze cell walls of Fusarium sporotrichioides MLS-19. Cgglu17A (397 amino acids) was classified as glycoside hydrolase family 17 while Cgglu16B belongs to the family16 (284 amino acids). Recombinant protein Cgglu17A was successfully expressed in Escherichia coli, and the enzymes were purified by affinity chromatography. Maximum activity of Cgglu17A appeared at the pH 5.5 and temperature 50 °C, but Cgglu16B shows the maximum activity at the pH 5.0 and temperature 50 °C. Most of heavy metal ions had inhibition effect on the two enzymes, but Cgglu17A and Cgglu16B were respectively activated by Ba2+ and Mn2+. Cgglu17A exhibited high substrate specificity, almost only catalyzing the cleavage of β-1,3-glycosidic bond, in various polysaccharose, to liberate glucose. However, Cgglu16B showed high catalytic activities to both β-1,3-glycosidic and β-1,3-1,4-glycosidic bonds. Cgglu17A was an exo-glucanase, but Cgglu16B was an endo-glucanase based on hydrolytic properties assay. Both of two enzymes showed potential antifungal activity, and the synergistic effect was observed in the germination experiment of pathogenic fungus. In conclusion, Cgglu17A (exo-1,3-β-glucanase) and Cgglu16B (endo-1,3(4)-β-glucanase) were confirmed to play a key role in the process of C. globosum controlling fusarium and have potential application value on industry and agriculture for the first time.

Abstract
Glucobiose is a range of disaccharides consisting of two glucose molecules, generally including trehalose, kojibiose, sophorose, nigerose, laminaribiose, maltose, cellobiose, isomaltose, and gentiobiose. The difference glycosidic bonds of two glucose molecules result in the diverse molecular structures, physiochemical properties and physiological functions of these glucobioses. Some glucobioses are abundant in nature but have unconspicuous roles on health like maltose, whereas some rare glucobioses display remarkable biological effects. It is unpractical process to extract these rare glucobioses from natural resources, while biological synthesis is a feasible approach. Recently, the production and application of glucobiose have attracted considerable attention. This review provides a comprehensive overview of glucobioses, including their natural sources and physicochemical properties like structure, sweetness, digestive performance, toxicology, and cariogenicity. Specific enzymes used for the production of various glucobioses and fermentation production processes are summarized. Additionally, their versatile functions and broad applications are also introduced.

Heterologous expression and characterization of salt-tolerant β-glucosidase from xerophilic Aspergillus chevalieri for hydrolysis of marine biomass. Arch Microbiol 2023; 205:310.

Abstract
A salt-tolerant exo-β-1,3-glucosidase (BGL_MK86) was cloned from the xerophilic mold Aspergillus chevalieri MK86 and heterologously expressed in A. oryzae. Phylogenetic analysis suggests that BGL_MK86 belongs to glycoside hydrolase family 5 (aryl-phospho-β-D-glucosidase, BglC), and exhibits D-glucose tolerance. Recombinant BGL_MK86 (rBGL_MK86) exhibited 100-fold higher expression than native BGL_MK86. rBGL_MK86 was active over a wide range of NaCl concentrations [0%-18% (w/v)] and showed increased substrate affinity for p-nitrophenyl-β-D-glucopyranoside (pNPBG) and turnover number (kcat) in the presence of NaCl. The enzyme was stable over a broad pH range (5.5-9.5). The optimum reaction pH and temperature for hydrolysis of pNPBG were 5.5 and 45 °C, respectively. rBGL_MK86 acted on the β-1,3-linked glucose dimer laminaribiose, but not β-1,4-linked or β-1,6-linked glucose dimers (cellobiose or gentiobiose). It showed tenfold higher activity toward laminarin (a linear polymer of β-1,3 glucan) from Laminaria digitata than laminarin (β-1,3/β-1,6 glucan) from Eisenia bicyclis, likely due to its inability to act on β-1,6-linked glucose residues. The β-glucosidase retained hydrolytic activity toward crude laminarin preparations from marine biomass in moderately high salt concentrations. These properties indicate wide potential applications of this enzyme in saccharification of salt-bearing marine biomass.

Abstract
While foraging for nectar and pollen, bees are exposed to a myriad of xenobiotics, including plant metabolites, which may exert a wide range of effects on their health. Although the bee genome encodes enzymes that help in the metabolism of xenobiotics, it has lower detoxification gene diversity than the genomes of other insects. Therefore, bees may rely on other components that shape their physiology, such as the microbiota, to degrade potentially toxic molecules. In this study, we show that amygdalin, a cyanogenic glycoside found in honey bee-pollinated almond trees, can be metabolized by both bees and members of the gut microbiota. In microbiota-deprived bees, amygdalin is degraded into prunasin, leading to prunasin accumulation in the midgut and hindgut. In microbiota-colonized bees, on the other hand, amygdalin is degraded even further, and prunasin does not accumulate in the gut, suggesting that the microbiota contribute to the full degradation of amygdalin into hydrogen cyanide. In vitro experiments demonstrated that amygdalin degradation by bee gut bacteria is strain-specific and not characteristic of a particular genus or species. We found strains of Bifidobacterium, Bombilactobacillus, and Gilliamella that can degrade amygdalin. The degradation mechanism appears to vary since only some strains produce prunasin as an intermediate. Finally, we investigated the basis of degradation in Bifidobacterium wkB204, a strain that fully degrades amygdalin. We found overexpression and secretion of several carbohydrate-degrading enzymes, including one in glycoside hydrolase family 3 (GH3). We expressed this GH3 in Escherichia coli and detected prunasin as a byproduct when cell lysates were cultured with amygdalin, supporting its contribution to amygdalin degradation. These findings demonstrate that both host and microbiota can act together to metabolize dietary plant metabolites.

Abstract
The enzymatic pathway of xanthan depolymerization has been predicted previously; however, the β-glucosidase and unsaturated glucuronyl hydrolase in this system have not been cloned and characterized. This lack of knowledge hinders rational modification of xanthan and exploration of new applications. In this work, we report on the properties of Mibgl3, a xanthan-degrading enzyme isolated from Microbacterium sp. XT11. Mibgl3 exhibits typical structural features of the GH3 family but shares low sequence identity with reported GH3 enzymes. The activity of Mibgl3 can be inhibited by Cu2+, Fe2+, Zn2+, and glucose. Unlike most β-glucosidases, Mibgl3 can tolerate a wide pH range and is activated by high concentrations of NaCl. This improves the commercial value of Mibgl3. In particular, Mibgl3 exhibits higher substrate specificity toward oligoxanthan than other β-glucosidases. Ion chromatography, ultrahigh-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS), and GC-MS results showed that Mibgl3 could effectively hydrolyze oligoxanthan to release glucose and glucuronate. Therefore, Mibgl3 might play an important role in xanthan depolymerization by functioning as hydrolase of both the xanthan backbone and sidechains. This knowledge of the enzymatic properties and hydrolysis mechanism of a β-glucosidase will be beneficial for future applications.

Abstract
β-glucosidases can produce gentiooligosaccharides that are lucrative and promising for the prebiotic and alternative food industries. However, the commercial production of gentiooligosaccharides using β-glucosidase is challenging, as this process is limited by the need for high thermal energy and increasing demand for the enzyme. Here, a putative β-glucosidase gene, selected from the coral microbial metagenome, was expressed in Escherichia coli. Reverse hydrolysis of glucose by Blg163 at pH 7.0 and 40 °C achieved a gentiooligosaccharide yield of 43.02 ± 3.20 g·L−1 at a conversion rate of 5.38 ± 0.40%. Transglycosylation of mixed substrates, glucose and cellobiose, by Blg163 consumed 21.6 U/0.5 g glucose/g cellobiose, achieving a gentiooligosaccharide yield of 70.34 ± 2.20 g·L−1 at a conversion rate of 15.63%, which is close to the highest yield reported in previous findings. Blg163-mediated synthesis of gentiooligosaccharides is the mildest reaction and the lowest β-glucosidase consumption reported to date.

Abstract
The xyloglucanase gene (RmXEG12A) from Rhizomucor miehei CAU432 was successfully expressed in Pichia pastoris. The highest xyloglucanase activity of 25,700 U mL-1 was secreted using high cell density fermentation. RmXEG12A was optimally active at pH 7.0 and 65 °C, respectively. The xyloglucanase exhibited the highest specific activity towards xyloglucan (7915.5 U mg-1). RmXEG12A was subjected to hydrolyze tamarind powder to produce xyloglucan oligosaccharides with the degree of polymerization (DP) 7-9. The hydrolysis ratio of xyloglucan in tamarind powder was 89.8%. Moreover, xyloglucan oligosaccharides (2.0%, w/w) improved the water holding capacity (WHC) of yoghurt by 1.1-fold and promoted the growth of Lactobacillus bulgaricus and Streptococcus thermophiles by 2.3 and 1.6-fold, respectively. Therefore, a suitable xyloglucanase for tamarind powder hydrolysis was expressed in P. pastoris at high level and xyloglucan oligosaccharides improved the quality of yoghurt.

Two fungal flavonoid-specific glucosidases/rutinosidases for rutin hydrolysis and rutinoside synthesis under homogeneous and heterogeneous reaction conditions. AMB Express 2021; 11:136.

Abstract
The glycosidases within GH5-23 cleave the glycosidic bond of β-glucosylated or rutinosylated flavonoids. Moreover, by virtue of their transglycosylation activity, glycoconjugates with glucosyl and rutinosyl moieties are accessible. Here we report the biochemical characterization and biotechnological assessment of two heterologously expressed members of GH5-23—McGlc from Mucor circinelloides and PcGlc from Penicillium chrysogenum. Both enzymes exhibited the highest hydrolytic activities with quercetin-3-β-O-glucopyranoside, whereas lower specificity constants were determined with the rutinosides narcissin, rutin and hesperidin. High stabilities against thermal, ethanol and dimethyl sulfoxide-induced inactivation, a very limited secondary hydrolysis of the formed transglycosylation products, and no detectable product inhibition were additional features appropriate for biotechnological applications. The enzymes were compared in their efficiencies to hydrolyze rutin and to synthesize 2-phenylethyl rutinoside under homogeneous and heterogeneous reaction conditions using high rutin concentrations of 100 and 300 mM. Highest transglycosylation efficiencies were achieved with fully dissolved rutin in reaction mixtures containing 25% dimethyl sulfoxide. Molecular docking and multiple sequence alignments suggest that the hydrophobic environment of aromatic residues within the + 1 subsite of GH5-23 glycosidases is very important for the binding of flavonoid glucosides and rutinosides.

Abstract
Alkyl glycosides are well-characterized nonionic surfactants, and can be prepared by transglycosylation reactions with retaining GH1 glycosidases being normally used for this purpose. The produced alkyl glycosides can also be hydrolyzed by the glycosidase, and hence, the yields of alkyl glycosides can be too low for industrial use. To improve the transglycosylation-to-hydrolysis ratio for a β-glucosidase from Thermotoga maritima (TmBglA) for the synthesis of alkyl glycoside, six mutants (N222F, N223C, N223Q, G224A, Y295F, and F414S) were produced. N222F, N223C, N223Q, G224A improved catalytic activity, F295Y and F414S are hydrolytically crippled with p-nitrophenol-β-d-glucopyranoside (pNPG) as substrate with an 85 and 70-fold decrease in apparent kcat, respectively; N222F shows the highest kcat/km value for pNPG. The substrate selectivity altered from pNPG to pNP-β-d-fucoside for N222F, F295Y, and F414S and from cellubiose to gentiobiose for N222F and F414S. Using pNPG (34 mM) and hexanol 80% (vol/vol), N222F, Y295F, and F414S synthesized hexyl-β-glycoside (HG) yields of 84.7%, 50.9%, and 54.1%, respectively, HG increased from 14.49 (TmBglA) to 22.8 mM (N222F) at 2 hr by 57.42%. However, this higher transglycosylation effect depended on that three mutants creates an environment more suited for hexanol in the active site pocket, and consequently suppressed its HG hydrolysis.

Abstract
The effective utilization of okara (soybean residue) has become a considerable challenge in recent years. In this paper, the potential advantages of β-glucosidase production from okara fermented by Kluyveromyces marxianus were evaluated and the properties of the β-glucosidase were also characterized. The results showed that okara can significantly induce the production of β-glucosidase from K. marxianus. The β-glucosidase activity was up to 4.5 U/mg under optimized fermentation conditions. The optimal parameters were as follows: fermentation temperature 35 °C, cultivation time 98 h, inoculum concentration 10%, and 30 g/L of okara. After two steps of purification using ammonium sulfate precipitation and Sephadex G-75 column chromatography, the activity of β-glucosidase was 71.4 U/mg. The native enzyme was an approximately 66 kDa dimer consisting of two different subunits (22 and 44 kDa). The kinetic parameters of the K. marxianus β-glucosidase, using pNPG as substrate, were V max 8.34 μmol min-1 mg-1 and K m 7.42 mM. The β-glucosidase showed high thermostability and acid-alkali tolerance as well as low inhibition by DMSO (10-50%). In conclusion, this study supports the notion that okara fermentation by K. marxianus could be a useful process to produce β-glucosidase.

Abstract
In the study, an extracellular enzyme HML CBH1 was purified from the fermentation solution of Aspergillus oryzae HML366, and characterized by biological and molecular analysis. Following the culturing of A. oryzae HML366 under the optimized conditions for enzyme production, an enzyme named HML CBH1 with a molecular weight of 48 kDa was purified using 3000 Da cellulose ultrafiltration column and anion exchange chromatography. The specific activity of the purified enzyme was 9.65 U/mg, and the optimum temperature and pH for the enzyme were 50 and 5.0 °C, respectively. The enzyme was stable at temperatures below 60 °C and pH ranging from 3.0 to 10.0. The partial amino acid sequence of HML CBH1 was analyzed by time-of-flight mass spectrometry, and Mascot and Blast analysis showed that the HML CBH1 sequence was identical to the protein gi:22138643, belonging to the glycoside hydrolase family 7, and had exoglucanase and endoglucanase activity.

Abstract
The products of bacterial β-glucosidases with favorable cold-adapted properties have industrial applications. A psychrophilic β-glucosidase gene named bglG from subtropical soil microorganism Exiguobacterium sp. GXG2 was isolated and characterized by function-based screening strategy. Results of multiple alignments showed that the derived protein BglG shared 45.7% identities with reviewed β-glucosidases in the UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot database. Functional characterization of the β-glucosidase BglG indicated that BglG was a 468 aa protein with a molecular weight of 53.2 kDa. The BglG showed the highest activity in pH 7.0 at 35 °C and exhibited consistently high levels of activity within low temperatures ranging from 5 to 35 °C. The BglG appeared to be a psychrophilic enzyme. The values of Km, Vmax, kcat, and kcat/Km of recombinant BglG toward ρNPG were 1.1 mM, 1.4 µg/mL/min, 12.7 s−1, and 11.5 mM/s, respectively. The specific enzyme activity of BglG was 12.14 U/mg. The metal ion of Ca2+ and Fe3+ could stimulate the activity of BglG, whereas Mn2+ inhibited the activity. The cold-adapted β-glucosidase BglG displayed remarkable biochemical properties, making it a potential candidate for future industrial applications.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to characterize a plant origin β-glucosidase from black plum seeds and identify its conformational changes in twenty-six imidazolium- and amino acid-based ionic liquids (ILs). The results revealed that the purified 60 kDa enzyme was monomeric in nature, maximally active at 55 °C and pH 5.0, and nearly completely inhibited by Hg2+ and Ag+. Attractive peculiarities of the relative low kinetic and higher glucose inhibition constants (Km = 0.58 mM [pNPG]; Ki = 193.5 mM [glucose]) demonstrated its potential applications in food industry. Circular dichroism studies showed that the secondary structural changes of the enzyme depended not only on the anions, but also on the cations of the assayed ILs. Interestingly, no corresponding relations were observed between the changes in enzyme structure induced by ILs and its catalytic activities, suggesting that the influences of ILs on enzymatic processes don't rely simply on enzyme conformational changes.

Abstract
A novel gene (bgl) encoding a cold-adapted β-glucosidase was cloned from the marine bacterium Alteromonas sp. L82. Based on sequence analysis and its putative catalytic conserved region, Bgl belonged to the glycoside hydrolase family 1. Bgl was overexpressed in E. coli and purified by Ni2+ affinity chromatography. The purified recombinant β-glucosidase showed maximum activity at temperatures between 25°C to 45°C and over the pH range 6 to 8. The enzyme lost activity quickly after incubation at 40°C. Therefore, recombinant β-glucosidase appears to be a cold-adapted enzyme. The addition of reducing agent doubled its activity and 2 M NaCl did not influence its activity. Recombinant β-glucosidase was also tolerant of 700 mM glucose and some organic solvents. Bgl had a Km of 0.55 mM, a Vmax of 83.6 U/mg, a kcat of 74.3 s-1 and kcat/Km of 135.1 at 40°C, pH 7 with 4-nitrophenyl-β-D-glucopyranoside as a substrate. These properties indicate Bgl may be an interesting candidate for biotechnological and industrial applications.

Abstract
Cellulases are a heterogeneous group of enzymes that synergistically catalyze the hydrolysis of cellulose, the major component of plant biomass. Such reaction has biotechnological applications in a broad spectrum of industries, where they can provide a more sustainable model of production. As a prerequisite for their implementation, these enzymes need to be able to operate in the conditions the industrial process requires. Thus, cellulases retrieved from extremophiles, and more specifically those of thermophiles, are likely to be more appropriate for industrial needs in which high temperatures are involved. Metagenomics, the study of genes and gene products from the whole community genomic DNA present in an environmental sample, is a powerful tool for bioprospecting in search of novel enzymes. In this review, we describe the cellulolytic systems, we summarize their biotechnological applications, and we discuss the strategies adopted in the field of metagenomics for the discovery of new cellulases, focusing on those of thermophilic microorganisms.

Abstract
Beta-glucosidase (BGL) is an important industrial enzyme for food, waste and biofuel processing. Jeotgalibacillus is an understudied halophilic genus, and no beta-glucosidase from this genus has been reported. A novel beta-glucosidase gene (1344 bp) from J. malaysiensis DSM 28777T was cloned and expressed in E. coli. The recombinant protein, referred to as BglD5, consists of a total 447 amino acids. BglD5 purified using a Ni-NTA column has an apparent molecular mass of 52 kDa. It achieved the highest activity at pH 7 and 65 °C. The activity and stability were increased when CaCl2 was supplemented to the enzyme. The enzyme efficiently hydrolyzed salicin and (1 → 4)-beta-glycosidic linkages such as in cellobiose, cellotriose, cellotetraose, cellopentose, and cellohexanose. Similar to many BGLs, BglD5 was not active towards polysaccharides such as Avicel, carboxymethyl cellulose, Sigmacell cellulose 101, alpha-cellulose and xylan. When BglD5 blended with Cellic® Ctec2, the total sugars saccharified from oil palm empty fruit bunches (OPEFB) was enhanced by 4.5%. Based on sequence signatures and tree analyses, BglD5 belongs to the Glycoside Hydrolase family 1. This enzyme is a novel beta-glucosidase attributable to its relatively low sequence similarity with currently known beta-glucosidases, where the closest characterized enzyme is the DT-Bgl from Anoxybacillus sp. DT3-1.

Abstract
The recombinant plasmid pPIC9K-bgl1 containing β-glucosidase bgl1 from Trichoderma viride was constructed by overlapping PCR and integrated into Pichia pastoris KM71. In order to assist the formation of disulfide bonds and thus improve protein folding efficiency, protein disulfide isomerase pdi was co-expressed in the P. pastoris KM71/pPIC9K-bgl1/pPICZ-A-pdi strain, and fermentation in flasks resulted in enzyme activity of 143 U/ml. The enzyme activity of β-glucosidase reached 1402 U/ml following optimisation of fermentation conditions in a 3.6 l bioreactor. With 80% glucose as substrate, gentiooligosaccharides were synthesised by β-glucosidase-based reverse hydrolysis. A yield of 130 g/l was achieved with a conversion rate of 16.25%. With 20% glucose and 40% cellobiose as substrates, gentiooligosaccharides were synthesised by transglycosylation with a yield of 116 g/l and a conversion rate of 19.4%.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The enzymes for efficient hydrolysis of lignocellulosic biomass are a major factor in the development of an economically feasible cellulose bioconversion process. Up to now, low hydrolysis efficiency and high production cost of cellulases remain the significant hurdles in this process. The aim of the present study was to develop a versatile cellulase system with the enhanced hydrolytic efficiency and the ability to synthesize powerful inducers by genetically engineering Trichoderma reesei. RESULTS In our study, we employed a systematic genetic strategy to construct the carbon catabolite-derepressed strain T. reesei SCB18 to produce the cellulase complex that exhibited a strong cellulolytic capacity for biomass saccharification and an extraordinary high β-glucosidase (BGL) activity for cellulase-inducing disaccharides synthesis. We first identified the hypercellulolytic and uracil auxotrophic strain T. reesei SP4 as carbon catabolite repressed, and then deleted the carbon catabolite repressor gene cre1 in the genome. We found that the deletion of cre1 with the selectable marker pyrG led to a 72.6% increase in total cellulase activity, but a slight reduction in saccharification efficiency. To facilitate the following genetic modification, the marker pyrG was successfully removed by homologous recombination based on resistance to 5-FOA. Furthermore, the Aspergillus niger BGLA-encoding gene bglA was overexpressed, and the generated strain T. reesei SCB18 exhibited a 29.8% increase in total cellulase activity and a 51.3-fold enhancement in BGL activity (up to 103.9 IU/mL). We observed that the cellulase system of SCB18 showed significantly higher saccharification efficiency toward differently pretreated corncob residues than the control strains SDC11 and SP4. Moreover, the crude enzyme preparation from SCB18 with high BGL activity possessed strong transglycosylation ability to synthesize β-disaccharides from glucose. The transglycosylation product was finally utilized as the inducer for cellulase production, which provided a 63.0% increase in total cellulase activity compared to the frequently used soluble inducer, lactose. CONCLUSIONS In summary, we constructed a versatile cellulase system in T. reesei for efficient biomass saccharification and powerful cellulase inducer synthesis by combinational genetic manipulation of three distinct types of genes to achieve the customized cellulase production, thus providing a viable strategy for further strain improvement to reduce the cost of biomass-based biofuel production.

Abstract
A glycoside hydrolase (GH) family 17 β-1,3-glucanosyltransferase (RmBgt17A) from Rhizomucor miehei CAU432 (CGMCC No. 4967) shared very low sequence homology (∼20 % identity) with that of other β-1,3-glucanases,despite their similar structural folds. Structural comparison and sequence alignment between RmBgt17A and GH family 17 β-1,3-glucanases suggested important roles for three residues (Tyr102, Trp157, and Glu158) located in the substrate-binding cleft of RmBgt17A in transglycosylation activity. A series of site-directed mutagenesis studies indicated that a single Glu-to-Ala mutation (E158A) modulates the function of RmBgt17A to that of a β-1,3-glucanase. Mutant E158A exhibited high hydrolytic activity (39.95 U/mg) toward reduced laminarin, 348.5-fold higher than the wild type. Optimal pH and temperature of the purified RmBgt17A-E158A were 4.5 and 55 °C, respectively. TLC analysis suggested that RmBgt17A-E158A is an endo-β-1,3-glucanase. Our study provides novel insight into protein engineering of the substrate-binding cleft of glycoside hydrolases to modulate the function of transglycosylation and hydrolysis.

Abstract
β-Glucosidase (β-D-glucoside glucohydrolase, EC 3.2.1.21) is a catalytic enzyme present in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes that selectively catalyzes either the linkage between two glycone residues or between glycone and aryl or alkyl aglycone residue. Growing edible mushrooms in the soil with increased cellulose content can lead to the production of glucose, which is a process dependent on β-glucosidase. In this study, β-glucosidase was isolated from Agaricus bisporus (white button mushroom) using ammonium sulfate precipitation and hydrophobic interaction chromatography, giving 10.12-fold purification. Biochemical properties of the enzyme were investigated and complete characterization was performed. The enzyme is a dimer with two subunits of approximately 46 and 62 kDa. Optimum pH for the enzyme is 4.0, while the optimum temperature is 55 °C. The enzyme was found to be exceptionally thermostable. The most suitable commercial substrate for this enzyme is p-NPGlu with Km and Vmax values of 1.751 mM and 833 U/mg, respectively. Enzyme was inhibited in a competitive manner by both glucose and δ-gluconolactone with IC50 values of 19.185 and 0.39 mM, respectively and Ki values of 9.402 mM and 7.2 µM, respectively. Heavy metal ions that were found to inhibit β-glucosidase activity are I(-), Zn(2+), Fe(3+), Ag(+), and Cu(2+). This is the first study giving complete biochemical characterization of A. bisporus β-glucosidase.

Abstract
UNLABELLED In this study, we characterized Gly5M, originating from a marine bacterium, as a novel β-1,3-1,6-endoglucanase in glycoside hydrolase family 5 (GH5) in the Carbohydrate-Active enZyme database. The gly5M gene encodes Gly5M, a newly characterized enzyme from GH5 subfamily 47 (GH5_47) in Saccharophagus degradans 2-40(T) The gly5M gene was cloned and overexpressed in Escherichia coli Through analysis of the enzymatic reaction products by thin-layer chromatography, high-performance liquid chromatography, and matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-tandem time of flight mass spectrometry, Gly5M was identified as a novel β-1,3-endoglucanase (EC 3.2.1.39) and bacterial β-1,6-glucanase (EC 3.2.1.75) in GH5. The β-1,3-endoglucanase and β-1,6-endoglucanase activities were detected by using laminarin (a β-1,3-glucan with β-1,6-glycosidic linkages derived from brown macroalgae) and pustulan (a β-1,6-glucan derived from fungal cell walls) as the substrates, respectively. This enzyme also showed transglycosylase activity toward β-1,3-oligosaccharides when laminarioligosaccharides were used as the substrates. Since laminarin is the major form of glucan storage in brown macroalgae, Gly5M could be used to produce glucose and laminarioligosaccharides, using brown macroalgae, for industrial purposes. IMPORTANCE In this study, we have discovered a novel β-1,3-1,6-endoglucanase with a unique transglycosylase activity, namely, Gly5M, from a marine bacterium, Saccharophagus degradans 2-40(T) Gly5M was identified as the newly found β-1,3-endoglucanase and bacterial β-1,6-glucanase in GH5. Gly5M is capable of cleaving glycosidic linkages of both β-1,3-glucans and β-1,6-glucans. Gly5M also possesses a transglycosylase activity toward β-1,3-oligosacchrides. Due to the broad specificity of Gly5M, this enzyme can be used to produce glucose or high-value β-1,3- and/or β-1,6-oligosaccharides.
