AI Article Synopsis
- A new gene called PSTG2 was found near an existing gene (PSTG1) in the genome of Paenibacillus sp. strain KB0549, which is linked to β-glucosidase enzymes.
- PSTG2 encodes a β-glucosidase that is part of the glycoside hydrolase family 3 and is specialized in breaking down specific glucosidic linkages.
- When compared to PSTG1, the enzyme produced by PSTG2 is more effective at targeting β-1,2-glucosidic bonds in a specific molecule, leading to more accumulation of a particular sugar compound.
Article Abstract
A gene (PSTG2) coding for a novel β-glucosidase belonging to glycoside hydrolase family 3 was identified in the vicinity of the previously identified β-glucosidase gene [sesaminol triglucoside (STG)-hydrolyzing β-glucosidase, PSTG1] in the genome of Paenibacillus sp. strain KB0549. Compared with PSTG1, recombinant PSTG2 more specifically acted on the β-1,2-glucosidic linkage of the STG molecule to transiently accumulate a larger amount of 6-O-(β-D-glucopyranosyl)-β-D-glucopyranosylsesaminol.
