Popis: A thermostable β-xylosidase gene Tpexyl3 from Thermotoga petrophila DSM 13,995 was cloned and overexpressed by Escherichia coli. Recombinant Tpexyl3 was purified, and its molecular weight was approximately 86.7 kDa. Its optimal activity was exhibited at pH 6.0 and 90 °C. It had broad specificity to xylopyranosyl, arabinopyranosyl, arabinofuranosyl and glucopyranosyl moieties. The β-xylosidase activity of the recombinant Tpexyl3 was 6.81 U/mL in the LB medium and 151.4 U/mL in a 7.5 L bio-reactor. It was applied to transform ginsenoside extract into the pharmacologically active minor ginsenoside 20(S)-Rg3, which was combined with thermostable β-glucosidase Tpebgl3. After transforming under optimal condition, the 20 g/L of ginsenoside extract was transformed into 6.28 g/L of Rg3 within 90 min, with a corresponding molar conversion of 95.0% and Rg3 productivity of 1793.49 mg/L/h, respectively. This study is the highest report of a GH3 family glycosidase with arabinopyranosidase activity and also the first report on the high substrate concentration bioconversion of ginsenoside extract to ginsenoside 20(S)-Rg3 by using two thermostable glycosidases.
