FunctionPublication Abstract from PubMedIn this study, a Petri-dish-based double-layer high-throughput screening method was established to improve glucose tolerance of beta-glucosidase Bgl15. Two beneficial mutations were identified, and the joint mutant 2R1 improved the half-maximal inhibitory concentration of glucose from 0.04 to 2.1 M. The crystal structure of 2R1 was subsequently determined at 2.7 A. Structure analysis revealed that enhancement of glucose tolerance may be due to improved transglycosylation activity made possible by a hydrophobic binding site for glucose as an acceptor and more stringent control of a putative water channel. To further ameliorate the application potential of the enzyme, it was engineered to increase the half-life at 50 degrees C from 0.8 h (Bgl15) to 180 h (mutant 5R1). Furthermore, supplementation of 5R1 to the cellulase cocktail significantly improved glucose production from pretreated sugar cane bagasse by 38%. Consequently, this study provided an efficient approach to enhance glucose tolerance and generated a promising catalyst for cellulose saccharification.
