Hyperthermostable endoglucanases of glycoside hydrolase family 12 from the archaeon Pyrococcus furiosus (EGPf) catalyze the hydrolysis of β-1,4-glucosidic linkages in cellulose and β-glucan structures that contain β-1,3- and β-1,4-mixed linkages. In this study, EGPf was heterologously expressed with Aspergillus niger and the recombinant enzyme was characterized. The successful expression of EGPf resulted as N-glycosylated protein in its secretion into the culture medium. The glycosylation of the recombinant EGPf positively impacted the kinetic characterization of EGPf, thereby enhancing its catalytic efficiency. Moreover, glycosylation significantly boosted the thermostability of EGPf, allowing it to retain over 80% of its activity even after exposure to 100 °C for 5 h, with the optimal temperature being above 120 °C. Glycosylation did not affect the pH stability or salt tolerance of EGPf, although the glycosylated compound exhibited a high tolerance to ionic liquids. EGPf displayed the highest specific activity in the presence of 20% (v/v) 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride ([Bmim]Cl), reaching approximately 2.4 times greater activity than that in the absence of [Bmim]Cl. The specific activity was comparable to that without the ionic liquid even in the presence of 40% (v/v) [Bmim]Cl. Glycosylated EGPf has potential as an enzyme for saccharifying cellulose under high-temperature conditions or with ionic liquid treatment due to its exceptional thermostability and ionic liquid tolerance. These results underscore the potential of N-glycosylation as an effective strategy to further enhance both the thermostability of highly thermostable archaeal enzymes and the hydrolysis of barley cellulose in the presence of [Bmim]Cl.
