A novel glycoside phosphorylase PBOR_13355 and beta-glucuronidase PBOR_13360 were identified in this study. They are predicted to work together in the cytosol to metabolize acidic carbohydrates.
Glycoside hydrolase family 94 (GH94) contains enzymes that reversibly catalyze the phosphorolysis of beta-glycosides. We conducted this study to investigate a GH94 protein (PBOR_13355) encoded in the genome of Paenibacillus borealis DSM 13188 with low sequence identity to known phosphorylases. Screening of acceptor substrates for reverse phosphorolysis in the presence of alpha-D-glucose 1-phosphate as a donor substrate showed that PBOR_13355 utilized D-glucuronic acid and p-nitrophenyl beta-D-glucuronide as acceptors. In the reaction with D-glucuronic acid, 3-O-beta-D-glucopyranosyl-D-glucuronic acid was synthesized. PBOR_13355 showed a higher apparent catalytic efficiency to p-nitrophenyl beta-D-glucuronide than to D-glucuronic acid, and thus, PBOR_13355 was concluded to be a novel glycoside phosphorylase, 3-O-beta-D-glucopyranosyl beta-D-glucuronide phosphorylase. PBOR_13360, encoded by the gene immediately downstream of the PBOR_13355 gene, was shown to be beta-glucuronidase. Collectively, PBOR_13355 and PBOR_13360 are predicted to work together in the cytosol to metabolize oligosaccharides containing the 3-O-beta-D-glucopyranosyl beta-D-glucuronide structure released from bacterial and plant acidic carbohydrates.
