β-glucosidase 1 (AaBGL1), which promotes cellulose hydrolysis by cellulase system, was characterized and compared some properties to a commercially supplied orthologue in (AnBGL) to elucidate advantages of recombinant AaBGL1 (rAaBGL1) for synergistic effect on enzymes. Steady-state kinetic studies revealed that rAaBGL1 showed high catalytic efficiency towards β-linked glucooligosaccharides. Up to a degree of polymerization (DP) 3, rAaBGL1 prefered to hydrolyze β-1,3 linked glucooligosaccharides, but longer than DP 3, preferred β-1,4 glucooligosaccharides (up to DP 5). This result suggested that there were different formation for subsites in the catalytic cleft of AaBGL1 between β-1,3 and β-1,4 glucooligosaccharides, therefore rAaBGL1 preferred short chain of laminarioligosaccharides and long chain of cellooligosaccharides on hydrolysis. rAaBGL1 was more insensitive to glucose inhibition and more efficient to hydrolyze the one of major transglycosylation product, gentiobiose than AnBGL, resulting that rAaBGL1 completely hydrolyzed 5% cellobiose to glucose faster than AnBGL. These data indicate that AaBGL1 is valuable for the use of cellulosic biomass conversion.
