A thermostable beta -glycosidase (Tn-gly) from Thermus nonproteolyticus HG1
02 has been cloned and overexpressed in Escherichia coli. The recombinant e
nzyme, with a molecular mass of 48.9 kDa, was purified to homogeneity. It c
an hydrolyze a wide range of oligosaccharides and perform transglycosylatio
n. Crystals of the recombinant enzyme were grown by the hanging-drop vapour
-diffusion technique with MPD and NaCl as precipitants. They belong to the
orthorhombic space group P2(1)2(1)2(1), with unit-cell parameters a = 66.7,
b = 94.6, c = 176.5 Angstrom.
