BACILLUS CEREUS BETA-AMYLASE APO FORM
OverviewOverview
The crystals of beta-amylase from Bacillus cereus belong to space group, P21 with the following cell dimensions: a = 57.70 A, b = 92.87 A, c =, 65.93 A, and beta =101.95 degrees. The structures of free and, maltose-bound beta-amylases were determined by X-ray crystallography at, 2.1 and 2.5 A with R-factors of 0.170 and 0.164, respectively. The final, model of the maltose-bound form comprises 516 amino acid residues, four, maltose molecules, 275 water molecules, one Ca2+, one acetate, and one, sulfate ion. The enzyme consists of a core (beta/alpha)8-barrel domain, (residues 5-434) and a C-terminal starch-binding domain (residues, 435-613). Besides the active site in the core where two maltose molecules, are bound in tandem, two novel maltose-binding sites were found in the, core L4 region and in the C-terminal domain. The structure of the core, domain is similar to that of soybean beta-amylase except for the L4, maltose-binding site, whereas the C-terminal domain has the same secondary, structure as domain E of cyclodextrin glucosyltransferase. These two, maltose-binding sites are 32-36 A apart from the active site. These, results indicate that the ability of B. cereus beta-amylase to digest raw, starch can be attributed to the additional two maltose-binding sites.
