FAMILY 4 CARBOHYDRATE ESTERASE FROM STREPTOMYCES LIVIDANS IN COMPLEX WITH ACETATE

OverviewOverview

The enzymatic degradation of plant cell wall xylan requires the concerted, action of a diverse enzymatic syndicate. Among these enzymes are xylan, esterases, which hydrolyze the O-acetyl substituents, primarily at the O-2, position of the xylan backbone. All acetylxylan esterase structures, described previously display a alpha/beta hydrolase fold with a, "Ser-His-Asp" catalytic triad. Here we report the structures of two, distinct acetylxylan esterases, those from Streptomyces lividans and, Clostridium thermocellum, in native and complex forms, with x-ray data to, between 1.6 and 1.0 A resolution. We show, using a novel linked assay, system with PNP-2-O-acetylxyloside and a beta-xylosidase, that the enzymes, are sugar-specific and metal ion-dependent and possess a single metal, center ...
