Structural highlights
FunctionDEXB_STRMU The physiological substrates may be short isomaltosaccharides. Publication Abstract from PubMedStreptococcus mutans dextran glucosidase (SmDG) belongs to glycoside hydrolase family 13, and catalyzes both the hydrolysis of substrates such as isomaltooligosaccharides and subsequent transglucosylation to form alpha-(1-->6)-glucosidic linkage at the substrate non-reducing ends. Here, we report the 2.4A resolution crystal structure of glucosyl-enzyme intermediate of SmDG. In the obtained structure, the Trp238 side-chain that constitutes the substrate-binding site turned away from the active pocket, concurrently with conformational changes of the nucleophile and the acid/base residues. Different conformations of Trp238 in each reaction stage indicated its flexibility. Considering the results of kinetic analyses, such flexibility may reflect a requirement for the reaction mechanism of SmDG.
