Abstract A novel β-glucosidase gene (ccbgl1a) was cloned from the ginsenosides-transforming strain Cellulosimicrobium cellulans sp. 21. This enzyme was overexpressed in Escherichia coli, the recombinant β-glucosidase (CcBgl1A) containing N-terminal His-tag was sufficiently purified by nickel metal affinity chromatography with purification factor of 1.9-fold and specific activity of 31.5 U/mg. The molecular mass of recombinant CcBgl1A was estimated to be approximately 46 kDa. CcBgl1A exhibited optimal activity at 35°C and pH 5.5. However, above 40°C, the enzyme stability significantly decreased. The enzyme showed high bioconversion ability on protopanaxadiol-type ginsenosides mixture (PPDGM), which could hydrolyze the outer C-3 glucose moieties of ginsenosides Rb1, Rb2, Rc and Rd into the rare ginsenosides Gypenoside XVII (Gyp XVII), compound O, ginsenoside Mb and ginsenoside F2. Scaled-up production using 1 g of the PPDGM resulted in 292 mg Gyp XVII, 134 mg CO, 184 mg Mb, and 62 mg F2, with chromatographic purities. These results suggest that CcBgl1A would be potentially useful in the preparation of pharmacologically active minor ginsenosides Gyp XVII, CO, Mb and F2.

Triterpenoids with desired glycosylation patterns have attracted considerable attention as potential therapeutics for inflammatory diseases and various types of cancer. Sugar-hydrolyzing enzymes with high substrate specificity would be far more efficient than other methods for the synthesis of such specialty triterpenoids, but they are yet to be developed. Here we present a strategy to rationally design a β-glycosidase with high regiospecificity for triterpenoids. A β-glycosidase with broad substrate specificity was isolated, and its crystal structure was determined at 2.0 ? resolution. Based on the product profiles and substrate docking simulations, we modeled the substrate binding modes of the enzyme. From the model, the substrate binding cleft of the enzyme was redesigned in a manner that preferentially hydrolyzes glycans at specific glycosylation sites of triterpenoids. The designed mutants were shown to produce a variety of specialty triterpenoids with high purity.

The bacterium Paenibacillus sp. BG134 was capable of biotransforming the principal 20(S)-protopanaxadiol ginsenosides Rc, Rb2, Rd, and Rb1 into the corresponding minor glycosides C-Mc1, C-O, and F-2. The specificity of Paenibacillus
