Structure of the complex of a glucoamylase from Saccharomycopsis fibuligera with acarbose
OverviewOverview
Most glucoamylases (alpha-1,4-D-glucan glucohydrolase, EC 3.2.1.3) have, structures consisting of both a catalytic and a starch binding domain. The, structure of a glucoamylase from Saccharomycopsis fibuligera HUT 7212, (Glu), determined a few years ago, consists of a single catalytic domain., The structure of this enzyme with the resolution extended to 1.1 A and, that of the enzyme-acarbose complex at 1.6 A resolution are presented, here. The structure at atomic resolution, besides its high accuracy, shows, clearly the influence of cryo-cooling, which is manifested in shrinkage of, the molecule and lowering the volume of the unit cell. In the structure of, the complex, two acarbose molecules are bound, one at the active site and, the second at a site remote from the active site, curved around Tyr464, which resembles the inhibitor molecule in the 'sugar tongs' surface, binding site in the structure of barley alpha-amylase isozyme 1 complexed, with a thiomalto-oligosaccharide. Based on the close similarity in, sequence of glucoamylase Glu, which does not degrade raw starch, to that, of glucoamylase (Glm) from S. fibuligera IFO 0111, a raw starch-degrading, enzyme, it is reasonable to expect the presence of the remote starch, binding site at structurally equivalent positions in both enzymes. We, propose the role of this site is to fix the enzyme onto the surface of a, starch granule while the active site degrades the polysaccharide. This, hypothesis is verified here by the preparation of mutants of glucoamylases, Glu and Glm.
