The triglucoside of sesaminol,  i.e. , 2,6- O -di(β-D-glucopyranosyl)-β-D- glucopyranosylsesaminol (STG), occurs abundantly in sesame seeds and sesame oil cake and serves as an inexpensive source for the industrial production of sesaminol, an anti-oxidant that displays a number of bioactivities beneficial to human health. However, STG has been shown to be highly resistant to the action of β-glucosidases, in part due to its branched-chain glycon structure, and these circumstances hampered the efficient utilization of STG. We found that a strain (KB0549) of the genus  Paenibacillus  produced a novel enzyme capable of efficiently hydrolyzing STG. This enzyme, termed PSTG, was a tetrameric protein consisting of identical subunits with an approximate molecular mass of 80 kDa. The PSTG gene was cloned on the basis of the partial amino acid sequences of the purified enzyme. Sequence comparison showed that the enzyme belonged to the glycoside hydrolase family 3, with significant similarities to the  Paenibacillus  glucocerebrosidase (63% identity) and to Bgl3B of  Thermotoga neapolitana  (37% identity). The recombinant enzyme (rPSTG) was highly specific for β-glucosidic linkage, and  k   cat  and  k   cat / K   m  values for the rPSTG-catalyzed hydrolysis of  p -nitrophenyl-β-glucopyraniside at 37°C and pH 6.5 were 44 s −1  and 426 s −1  mM −1 , respectively. The specificity analyses also revealed that the enzyme acted more efficiently on sophorose than on cellobiose and gentiobiose. Thus, rPSTG is the first example of a β-glucosidase with higher reactivity for β-1,2-glucosidic linkage than for β-1,4- and β-1,6-glucosidic linkages, as far as could be ascertained. This unique specificity is, at least in part, responsible for the enzyme’s ability to efficiently decompose STG.
