Abstract

A beta-glucosidase, designated isoenzyme betaII, from germinated barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) hydrolyzes aryl-beta-glucosides and shares a high level of amino acid sequence similarity with beta-glucosidases of diverse origin. It releases glucose from the non-reducing termini of cellodextrins with catalytic efficiency factors, kcat/Km, that increase approximately 9-fold as the degree of polymerization of these substrates increases from 2 to 6. Thus, the enzyme has a specificity and action pattern characteristic of both beta-glucosidases (EC 3.2.1.21) and the polysaccharide exohydrolase, (1,4)-beta-glucan glucohydrolase (EC 3.2.1.74). At high concentrations (100 mM) of 4-nitrophenyl beta-glucoside, beta-glucosidase isoenzyme betaII catalyzes glycosyl transfer reactions, which generate 4-nitrophenyl-beta-laminaribioside, -cellobioside, and -gentiobioside. Subsite mapping with cellooligosaccharides indicates that the barley beta-glucosidase isoenzyme betaII has six substrate-binding subsites, each of which binds an individual beta-glucosyl residue. Amino acid residues Glu181 and Glu391 are identified as the probable catalytic acid and catalytic nucleophile, respectively. The enzyme is a family 1 glycoside hydrolase that is likely to...Continue Reading
