چکیده

The catalytic base in family 48 glycosyl hydrolases has not been previously established experimentally. Based on structural and modeling data published to date, we used site-directed mutagenesis and azide rescue activity assays to show definitively that the catalytic base in Thermobifida fusca Cel48A is aspartic acid 225. Of the tested mutants, only Cel48A with the D225E mutation retained partial activity on soluble and insoluble substrates. In azide rescue experiments, only the D225G mutation, in the smallest residue tested, showed an increase in activity with added azide.

Structural determinants allowing transferase activity in SENSITIVE TO FREEZING 2, classified as a family I glycosyl hydrolase.

SENSITIVE TO FREEZING 2 (SFR2) is classified as a family I glycosyl hydrolase but has recently been shown to have galactosyltransferase activity in Arabidopsis thaliana. Natural occurrences of apparent glycosyl hydrolases acting as transferases are interesting from a biocatalysis standpoint, and knowledge about the interconversion can assist in engineering SFR2 in crop plants to resist freezing...

Three-way stabilization of the covalent intermediate in amylomaltase, an alpha-amylase-like transglycosylase.

Amylomaltases are glycosyl hydrolases belonging to glycoside hydrolase family 77 that are capable of the synthesis of large cyclic glucans and the disproportionation of oligosaccharides. Using protein crystallography, we have generated a flip book movie of the amylomaltase catalytic cycle in atomic detail. The structures include a covalent glycosyl enzyme intermediate and a covalent intermediat...

Asparagine-127 of xylanase A from Streptomyces lividans, a key residue in glycosyl hydrolases of superfamily 4/7: kinetic evidence for its involvement in stabilization of the catalytic intermediate.

Site-directed mutagenesis of asparagine-127 (N127) of xylanase A (XlnA) from Streptomyces lividans, belonging to family 10 and superfamily 4/7 of glycosyl hydrolases, was chosen to study the role of this conserved residue. The isosteric mutation N127D introduced did not affect the fold of XlnA as revealed by circular dichroism. Comparison of the kinetic constants of N127D and wild-type XlnA rev...

Mannan-degrading enzymes from Cellulomonas fimi.

The genes man26a and man2A from Cellulomonas fimi encode mannanase 26A (Man26A) and beta-mannosidase 2A (Man2A), respectively. Mature Man26A is a secreted, modular protein of 951 amino acids, comprising a catalytic module in family 26 of glycosyl hydrolases, an S-layer homology module, and two modules of unknown function. Exposure of Man26A produced by Escherichia coli to C. fimi protease gener...

NOTES Characterization of a Neocallimastix patriciarum xylanase gene and its product1

A xylanase gene (xynC) isolated from the anaerobic ruminal fungus Neocallimastix patriciarum was characterized. The gene consists of an N-terminal catalytic domain that exhibited homology to family 11 of glycosyl hydrolases, a C-terminal cellulose binding domain (CBD) and a putative dockerin domain in between. Each domain was linked by a short linker domain rich in proline and alanine. Deletion...
