Purification and biochemical characterization of a mycelial glucose- and xylose-stimulated β-glucosidase from the thermophilic fungus Humicola insolens
چکیده انگلیسی

A mycelial β-glucosidase from the thermophilic mold Humicola insolens was purified and biochemically characterized. The enzyme showed carbohydrate content of 21% and apparent molecular mass of 94 kDa, as estimated by gel filtration. Sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis analysis showed a single polypeptide band of 55 kDa, suggesting that the native enzyme was a homodimer. Mass spectrometry analysis showed amino acid sequence similarity with a β-glucosidase from Humicola grisea var. thermoidea, with about 22% coverage. Optima of temperature and pH were 60 °C and 6.0–6.5, respectively. The enzyme was stable up to 1 h at 50 °C and showed a half-life of approximately 44 min at 55 °C. The β-glucosidase hydrolyzed cellobiose, lactose, p-nitrophenyl-β-d-glucopyranoside, p-nitrophenyl-β-d-fucopyranoside, p-nitrophenyl-β-d-xylopyranoside, p-nitrophenyl-β-d-galactopyranoside, o-nitrophenyl-β-d-galactopyranoside, and salicin. Kinetic studies showed that p-nitrophenyl-β-d-fucopyranoside and cellobiose were the best enzyme substrates. Enzyme activity was stimulated by glucose or xylose at concentrations up to 400 mM, with maximal stimulatory effect (about 2-fold) around 40 mM. The high catalytic efficiency for the natural substrate, good thermal stability, strong stimulation by glucose or xylose, and tolerance to elevated concentrations of these monosaccharides qualify this enzyme for application in the hydrolysis of cellulosic materials.
