By catalysing the breakdown of beta-1, 4-glycosidic linkages, beta-glucosidases produce free fermentable glucose and alleviate the inhibition of other cellulases by cellobiose during saccharification. Despite this benefit, most characterised fungal beta-glucosidases show weak activity at high glucose concentrations, limiting enzymatic hydrolysis of plant biomass in industrial settings. In this study, structural analyses combined with site-directed mutagenesis efficiently improved the functional properties of a GH1 beta-glucosidase highly expressed by Trichoderma harzianum (ThBgl) under biomass degradation conditions. The tailored enzyme displayed high glucose tolerance levels, confirming that glucose tolerance can be achieved by the substitution of two amino acids that act as gatekeepers, changing active-site accessibility and preventing product inhibition. Furthermore, the enhanced efficiency of the engineered enzyme in terms of the amount of glucose released and ethanol yield was confirmed by saccharification and simultaneous saccharification and fermentation experiments using a wide range of plant biomass feedstocks. Our results not only experimentally confirm the structural basis of glucose tolerance in GH1 beta-glucosidases but also demonstrate a strategy to improve technologies for bioethanol production based on enzymatic hydrolysis. An engineered GH1 beta-glucosidase displays enhanced glucose tolerance and increased sugar release from lignocellulosic materials.,Santos CA, Morais MAB, Terrett OM, Lyczakowski JJ, Zanphorlin LM, Ferreira-Filho JA, Tonoli CCC, Murakami MT, Dupree P, Souza AP Sci Rep. 2019 Mar 20;9(1):4903. doi: 10.1038/s41598-019-41300-3.
