Cloning and characterization of a novel recombinant multifunctional glycoside hydrolase β-D-xylosidase/α-L-arabinopyranosidase/β-glucosidase from <i>Bifidobacterium adolescentis</i> and its application on the biotransformation of ginsenoside Rb3

β-D-xylosidase, an important glycoside hydrolase, hydrolyzes xylo-oligosaccharides to yield xylose and biotransforms specific saponins by cleaving β-xylose at the non-reducing end. It is extensively employed in renewable resources, including fuels, food, and pharmaceuticals, as a xylanolytic enzyme. In this study, a 1197 bp β-xylosidase gene (BaXyl5B) derived from <i>Bifidobacterium adolescentis</i> was cloned and expressed in <i>E. coli</i> BL21. Following purification, the recombinant β-xylosidase exhibited a distinct band on SDS-PAGE; its molecular weight was determined to be 46.4 kDa. The optimal activity of BaXyl5B was observed at a pH of 6.0 and a temperature of 30 °C. Purified BaXyl5B demonstrated multifunctional activities involving <i>p</i>-nitrophenyl-β-D-xylopyranoside (<i>p</i>NPβXyl), <i>p</i>-nitrophenyl-α-L-arabinopyranoside (<i>p</i>NPαArap), and <i>p</i>-nitrophenyl-β-D-glucopyranoside (<i>p</i>NPβGlc). A significant finding of this study was that BaXyl5B exhibited high selectivity towards ginsenoside Rb3, which could hydrolyze xylose at the C-20 position of Rb3 to yield Rd and F2. Overall, this research explored a novel β-xylosidase, BaXyl5B, that could serve as a valuable biocatalyst for converting ginsenosides and synthesizing active glycosides and aglycones, making it a promising enzyme for further exploration and utilization.β-D-木糖苷酶（β-D-xylosidase）是一类重要的糖苷水解酶（glycoside hydrolase），可通过切割非还原端的β-木糖基水解木寡糖生成木糖，并对特定皂苷进行生物转化。作为一种木聚糖降解酶，该酶被广泛应用于燃料、食品与制药等可再生资源相关领域。本研究从青春双歧杆菌（Bifidobacterium adolescentis）中克隆得到一段长度为1197 bp的β-D-木糖苷酶基因BaXyl5B，并将其在大肠杆菌BL21（E. coli BL21）中进行异源表达。纯化后的重组β-D-木糖苷酶在SDS-PAGE上呈现单一清晰条带，经测定其分子质量为46.4 kDa。BaXyl5B的最适反应pH为6.0，最适反应温度为30℃。纯化的BaXyl5B展现出多重底物催化活性，可作用于对硝基苯基-β-D-吡喃木糖苷（p-nitrophenyl-β-D-xylopyranoside, pNPβXyl）、对硝基苯基-α-L-吡喃阿拉伯糖苷（p-nitrophenyl-α-L-arabinopyranoside, pNPαArap）以及对硝基苯基-β-D-吡喃葡萄糖苷（p-nitrophenyl-β-D-glucopyranoside, pNPβGlc）。本研究的一项重要发现是，BaXyl5B对人参皂苷Rb3具有高度底物选择性，可水解其C-20位连接的木糖基，生成人参皂苷Rd与F2。综上，本研究发掘了一种新型β-D-木糖苷酶BaXyl5B，其可作为极具应用价值的生物催化剂，用于人参皂苷的转化以及活性糖苷与苷元的合成，是一款具备进一步开发与应用潜力的酶制剂。
