A series of Ω-epoxyalkyl glycosides of D-xylopyranose, xylobiose and xylotriose were tested as potential active-site-directed inhibitors of xylanases from glycoside hydrolase families 10 and 11. Whereas family-10 enzymes (Thermoascus aurantiacus Xyn and Clostridium thermocellum Xyn Z) are resistant to electrophilic attack of active-site carboxyl residues, glycoside hydrolases of family 11 (Thermomyces lanuginosus Xyn and Trichoderma reesei Xyn II) are irreversibly inhibited. The apparent inactivation and association constants (ki, 1/Ki) are one order of magnitude higher for the xylobiose and xylotriose derivatives. The effects of the aglycone chain length can clearly be described. Xylobiose and n-alkyl β-D-xylopyranosides are competitive ligands and provide protection against inactivation. MS measurements showed 1:1 stoichiometries in most labelling experiments. Electrospray ionization MS/MS analysis revealed the nucleophile Glu86 as the modified residue in the T. lanuginosus xylanase when 2,3-epoxypropyl β-D-xylopyranoside was used, whereas the acid/base catalyst Glu178 was modified by the 3,4-epoxybutyl derivative. The active-site residues Glu86 and Glu177 in T. reesei Xyn II are similarly modified, confirming earlier X-ray crystallographic data [Havukainen, Törrönen, Laitinen and Rouvinen (1996) Biochemistry 35, 9617-9624]. The inability of the Ω-epoxyalkyl xylo(oligo)saccharide derivatives to inactivate family-10 enzymes is discussed in terms of different ligand-subsite interactions.

The catalytic domain (residues 128–449) of the Orpinomyces sp. Y102 CelC7 enzyme (Orp CelC7) exhibits cellobiohydrolase and cellotriohydrolase activities. Crystal structures of Orp CelC7 and its cellobiose-bound complex have been solved at resolutions of 1.80 and 2.78 Å, respectively. Cellobiose occupies subsites +1 and +2 within the active site of Orp CelC7 and forms hydrogen bonds to two key residues: Asp248 and Asp409. Furthermore, its substrate-binding sites have both tunnel-like and open-cleft conformations, suggesting that the glycoside hydrolase family 6 (GH6) Orp CelC7 enzyme may perform enzymatic hydrolysis in the same way as endoglucanases and cellobiohydrolases. LC-MS/MS analysis revealed cellobiose (major) and cellotriose (minor) to be the respective products of endo and exo activity of the GH6 Orp CelC7.

Members of the glycoside hydrolase family 4 (GH4) employ an unusual glycosidic bond cleavage mechanism utilizing NAD(H) and a divalent metal ion, under reducing conditions. These enzymes act upon a diverse range of glycosides, and unlike most other GH families, homologs here are known to accommodate both α- and β-anomeric specificities within the same active site. Here, we report the catalytic properties and the crystal structures of TmAgu4B, an α-d-glucuronidase from the hyperthermophile Thermotoga maritima. The structures in three different states include the apo form, the NADH bound holo form, and the ternary complex with NADH and the reaction product d-glucuronic acid, at 2.15, 1.97 and 1.85 Å resolutions, respectively. These structures reveal the step-wise route of conformational changes required in the active site to achieve the catalytically competent state, and illustrate the direct role of residues that determine the reaction mechanism. Furthermore, a structural transition of a helical region in the active site to a turn geometry resulting in the rearrangement of a unique arginine residue governs the exclusive glucopyranosiduronic acid recognition in TmAgu4B. Mutational studies show that modifications of the glycone binding site geometry lead to catalytic failure and indicate overlapping roles of specific residues in catalysis and substrate recognition. The data highlight hitherto unreported molecular features and associated active site dynamics that determine the structure–function relationships within the unique GH4 family.

Trehalose-6-phosphate hydrolase (TreA) belongs to glycoside hydrolase family 13 (GH13) and catalyzes the hydrolysis of trehalose 6-phosphate (T6P) to yield glucose and glucose 6-phosphate. The products of this reaction can be further metabolized by the energy-generating glycolytic pathway. Here, crystal structures ofBacillus licheniformisTreA (BlTreA) and its R201Q mutant complexed withp-nitrophenyl-α-D-glucopyranoside (R201Q–pPNG) are presented at 2.0 and 2.05 Å resolution, respectively. The overall structure ofBlTreA is similar to those of other GH13 family enzymes. However, detailed structural comparisons revealed that the catalytic site ofBlTreA contains a long loop that adopts a different conformation from those of other GH13 family members. Unlike the homologous regions ofBacillus cereusoligo-1,6-glucosidase (BcOgl) andErwinia rhaponticiisomaltulose synthase (NX-5), the surface potential of theBlTreA active site exhibits a largely positive charge contributed by the four basic residues His281, His282, Lys284 and Lys292. Mutation of these residues resulted in significant decreases in the enzymatic activity ofBlTreA. Strikingly, the281HHLK284motif and Lys292 play critical roles in substrate discrimination byBlTreA.

GH 11 (glycoside hydrolase family 11) xylanases are predominant enzymes in the hydrolysis of heteroxylan, an abundant structural polysaccharide in the plant cell wall. To gain more insight into the protein–ligand interactions of the glycone as well as the aglycone subsites of these enzymes, catalytically incompetent mutants of the Bacillus subtilis and Aspergillus niger xylanases were crystallized, soaked with xylo-oligosaccharides and subjected to X-ray analysis. For both xylanases, there was clear density for xylose residues in the −1 and −2 subsites. In addition, for the B. subtilis xylanase, there was also density for xylose residues in the −3 and +1 subsite showing the spanning of the −1/+1 subsites. These results, together with the observation that some residues in the aglycone subsites clearly adopt a different conformation upon substrate binding, allowed us to identify the residues important for substrate binding in the aglycone subsites. In addition to substrate binding in the active site of the enzymes, the existence of an unproductive second ligand-binding site located on the surface of both the B. subtilis and A. niger xylanases was observed. This extra binding site may have a function similar to the separate carbohydrate-binding modules of other glycoside hydrolase families.

Lysins are important biomolecules which cleave the bacterial cell-wall polymer peptidoglycan. They are finding increasing commercial and medical application. In order to gain an insight into the mechanism by which these enzymes operate, the X-ray structure of a CAZy family GH25 `lysozyme' fromAspergillus fumigatuswas determined. This is the first fungal structure from the family and reveals a modified α/β-barrel-like fold in which an eight-stranded β-barrel is flanked by three α-helices. The active site lies toward the bottom of a negatively charged pocket and its layout has much in common with other solved members of the GH25 and related GH families. A conserved active-site DXE motif may be implicated in catalysis, lending further weight to the argument that this glycoside hydrolase family operatesviaa `substrate-assisted' catalytic mechanism.
