FunctionXYN2_HYPJR Glycoside hydrolase involved in the hydrolysis of xylan, a major plant cell wall hemicellulose made up of 1,4-beta-linked D-xylopyranose residues. Catalyzes the endohydrolysis of the main-chain 1,4-beta-glycosidic bonds connecting the xylose subunits yielding various xylooligosaccharides and xylose (PubMed:1369024, Ref.5). The catalysis proceeds by a double-displacement reaction mechanism with a putative covalent glycosyl-enzyme intermediate, with retention of the anomeric configuration (PubMed:7988708). Produces xylobiose and xylose as the main degradation products (PubMed:19556747).[1] [2] [3] [4] Publication Abstract from PubMedTris-dipicolinate lanthanide complexes were used to prepare derivative crystals of six proteins: hen egg-white lysozyme, turkey egg-white lysozyme, thaumatin from Thaumatococcus daniellii, urate oxidase from Aspergillus flavus, porcine pancreatic elastase and xylanase from Trichoderma reesei. Diffraction data were collected using either synchrotron radiation or X-rays from a laboratory source. In all cases, the complex turned out to be bound to the protein and the phases determined using the anomalous scattering of the lanthanide led to high-quality electron-density maps. The binding mode of the complex was characterized from the refined structures. The lanthanide tris-dipicolinate was found to bind through interactions between carboxylate groups of the dipicolinate ligands and hydrogen-bond donor groups of the protein. In each binding site, one enantiomeric form of the complex is selected from the racemic solution according to the specific site topology. For hen egg-white lysozyme and xylanase, derivative crystals obtained by cocrystallization belonged to a new monoclinic C2 crystal form that diffracted to high resolution.
