Glucuronoxylanase Xyn30D is a modular enzyme containing a family 30 glycoside hydrolase catalytic domain and an attached carbohydrate binding module of the CBM35 family. We present here the three-dimensional structure of the full-length Xyn30D at 2.4 Å resolution. The catalytic domain folds into an (α/β)8 barrel with an associated β-structure, whereas the attached CBM35 displays a jellyroll β-sandwich including two calcium ions. Although both domains fold in an independent manner, the linker region makes polar interactions with the catalytic domain, allowing a moderate flexibility. The ancillary Xyn30D-CBM35 domain has been expressed and crystallized, and its binding abilities have been investigated by soaking experiments. Only glucuronic acid-containing ligands produced complexes, and their structures have been solved. A calcium-dependent glucuronic acid binding site shows distinctive structural features as compared with other uronic acid-specific CBM35s, because the presence of two aromatic residues delineates a wider pocket. The nonconserved Glu(129) makes a bidentate link to calcium and defines region E, previously identified as specificity hot spot. The molecular surface of Xyn30D-CBM35 shows a unique stretch of negative charge distribution extending from its binding pocket that might indicate some oriented interaction with its target substrate. The binding ability of Xyn30D-CBM35 to different xylans was analyzed by affinity gel electrophoresis. Some binding was observed with rye glucuronoarabinoxylan in presence of calcium chelating EDTA, which would indicate that Xyn30D-CBM35 might establish interaction to other components of xylan, such as arabinose decorations of glucuronoarabinoxylan. A role in depolymerization of highly substituted chemically complex xylans is proposed.
木聚糖酶 Xyn30D 是一种模块化酶,包含一个家族 30 糖苷水解酶催化结构域和一个附着的碳水化合物结合模块 CBM35 家族。我们在这里呈现了全长 Xyn30D 在 2.4 Å 分辨率下的三维结构。催化结构域折叠成一个(α/β)8 桶,带有一个相关的β结构,而附着的 CBM35 显示出一个包括两个钙离子的果冻卷β-夹层。尽管两个结构域以独立的方式折叠,但连接区与催化结构域形成极性相互作用,允许适度的灵活性。辅助的 Xyn30D-CBM35 结构域已被表达和结晶,并通过浸泡实验研究了其结合能力。只有含有葡萄糖醛酸的配体产生复合物,并且已经解决了它们的结构。一个依赖钙的葡萄糖醛酸结合位点显示出与其他糖醛酸特异性 CBM35 相比具有独特的结构特征,因为两个芳香族残基的存在划定了一个更宽的口袋。非保守的 Glu(129)与钙形成双配位,并定义了区域 E,这是以前确定的特异性热点。Xyn30D-CBM35 的分子表面显示出独特的负电荷分布延伸从其结合口袋,这可能表明与靶底物的某种定向相互作用。通过亲和凝胶电泳分析了 Xyn30D-CBM35 对不同木聚糖的结合能力。在存在钙螯合 EDTA 的情况下,观察到与黑麦葡甘露木聚糖的一些结合,这表明 Xyn30D-CBM35 可能与木聚糖的其他成分建立相互作用,例如葡甘露木聚糖的阿拉伯糖修饰。提出了在高度取代的化学复杂木聚糖的解聚中发挥作用的假设。
