A gene (ORF PH1035), annotated to encode an uncharacterized hypothetical protein in Pyrococcus horikoshii, was first cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli. The recombinant enzyme was purified to homogeneity by Ni–NTA affinity chromatography and its molecular mass was determined to be 49,871 Da by MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry. When the purified enzyme was reacted with nucleoside diphosphate–glucoses including UDP–glucose as a donor and glucose, rather than glucose-6-phosphate, as an acceptor, it specifically created a free trehalose. The enzyme was also able to partly hydrolyze the trehalose to glucose. The optimum pH was 5.5 and the enzyme was highly stable from pH 6 to 8. The deduced amino acid sequence showed a high homology with that of the glycosyl transferase group 1 (Pfam00534) in the BLAST search. The results suggest that the enzyme is a novel glycosyltransferase catalyzing the synthesis of the trehalose in the archaeon.
