Abstract in Portuguese
Utilizando uma bibioteca de expressão feita a partir do epitélio do intestino médio da larva de Diatraea saccharalis, nós clonamos e sequenciamos 3 cDNAs completos (DsβglyA, DsβglyB e DsβglyC), além de uma seqüência parcial que teoricamente codificam β-glicosidases. As sequências dos peptídeos obtidos após digestão por tripsina das β-glicosidases βgly1 e βgly2 de D. saccharalis mostraram que DsβglyA codifica a βgly1, caracterizada anteriormente. DsβglyB e DsβglyC provavelmente codificam duas β-glicosidases solúveis com massas moleculares teóricas de, respectivamente, 57,5 KDa e 56,2 KDa. Levando em consideração as semelhanças entre βgly1 e βgly3 e entre DsβglyA e DsβglyC, é razoável supor que DsβglyC codifique a βgly3. Os peptídeos produzidos após a hidrólise de βgly2 por tripsina não são codificados por nenhum dos cDNAs que nós sequenciamos. βgly2 provavelmente é codificada pelo cDNA cuja seqüência ainda está incompleta. A inativação da βgly2 por carbodiimida usando o tio-glicosídeo sinigrina e o O-glicosídeo p-nitrofenil β-D-galactopiranosídeo resulta na mesma constante de inativação, indicando que o mesmo sítio ativo é responsável pela hidrólise dos dois substratos. A mesma conclusão é obtida calculando o Km de βgly2 para os dois substratos e o Ki da inibição que cada um deles causa na hidrólise do outro. Os resultados indicam que uma só enzima é responsável pela hidrólise de sinigrina e p-nitrofenil β-D-glicosídeo com atividade semelhante. Essa propriedade nunca foi descrita para outra tio- ou O-glicosidase.

Abstract in English
We used an expression library made from Diatraea saccharalis midgut epithelium and succeeded in cloning and sequencing three complete cDNAs (DsβGlyA; DsβGlyB; DsβGlyC) plus a partial sequence that hypothetically code for β-glycosidases. The sequence of peptides obtained from the purified D. saccharalis β-glycosidases (βGly1 and βGly2) after trypsin digestion shows that DsβGlyA codes for βGly1, an enzyme that had already been characterized. DsβGlyB and DsβGlyC probably code for two soluble β-glycosidases with, respectively, 503 and 493 amino acid residues and theoretical molecular weighs of 57.5 kDa and 56.2 kDa. Taking into account the similarities of βGly1 and βGly3 and of DsβGlyA and DsβGlyC it is reasonable to suppose that DsβGlyC codes for βGly3. The peptides produced after βGly2 hydrolysis by trypsin could not coded by any of the complete sequenced cDNAs, although they might be code by the still partial sequence we have. We determined the chemical inactivation of βGly2 using the thio-glucoside sinigrin and the O-glycoside p-nitrophenyl-β-D-galactoside, and found the same inactivation constant, indicating that the same active site is responsible for the hydrolysis of the two substrates. The same conclusion is reached determining βGly2 Km for both substrates and the Ki for inhibition of the hydrolysis of one substrate using the other as inhibitor. These results indicated that only one enzyme is responsible for the hydrolysis of sinigrin and p-nitrophenyl-β-D-galactoside with similar activities, which is not a property reported before for any O- or S- β-glycosidase.
