Structural highlights
FunctionPublication Abstract from PubMedGlycoside hydrolase family (GH) 31 contains a large variety of enzymes, but the major members are enzymes that act on relatively small oligosaccharides such as alpha-glucosidase. Here, we determined the crystal structure of FjDex31A, an enzyme from Flavobacterium johnsoniae that hydrolyzes a polysaccharide, dextran. FjDex31A is composed of four domains: an N-terminal domain, a catalytic domain, a proximal C-terminal domain, and a distal C-terminal domain, as observed in typical GH31 enzymes. However, the architecture of active site residues in FjDex31A, other than subsite -1, is markedly different from that of other GH31 enzymes. The FjDex31A structure in complex with isomaltotriose shows that Gly273 and Tyr524, both of which interact with an alpha-glucose residue at subsite -2, as well as Trp376 and Leu308-cisGln309, are especially unique to FjDex31A. Site-directed mutagenesis of Gly273 and Tyr524 resulted in a decrease in the hydrolysis of polysaccharides dextran and pullulan, as well as that of the disaccharide isomaltose. These results suggest that, regardless of the length of sugar chains of the substrates, binding of FjDex31A to the substrates at subsite -2 is likely to be important for its activity.
