The structure of the catalytic domain of NcLPMO9C from the filamentous fungus Neurospora crassa
Structural highlights
FunctionLP9C_NEUCR Lytic polysaccharide monooxygenase (LPMO) that depolymerizes crystalline and amorphous polysaccharides via the oxidation of scissile alpha- or beta-(1-4)-glycosidic bonds, yielding C4 oxidation products (PubMed:23102010, PubMed:24324265, PubMed:24733907, PubMed:26178376, PubMed:30238672, PubMed:31835532, PubMed:35080911, PubMed:36271009). Catalysis by LPMOs requires the reduction of the active-site copper from Cu(II) to Cu(I) by a reducing agent and H(2)O(2) or O(2) as a cosubstrate (PubMed:36271009). Degrades various hemicelluloses, in particular xyloglucan (PubMed:24733907, PubMed:31835532). Active on tamarind xyloglucan and konjac glucomannan (PubMed:26178376). Acts on the glucose backbone of xyloglucan, accepting various substitutions (xylose, galactose) in almost allpositions (PubMed:24733907). In contrast to all previously characterized LPMOs, which are active only on polysaccharides, is able to cleave soluble cello-oligosaccharides as short as a tetramer (PubMed:24324265). The cello-oligosaccharide products released by this enzyme contain a C4 gemdiol/keto group at the non-reducing end (PubMed:24324265). Binds to the inner wood cell wall layer and consumes enzymatically generated H(2)O(2) (PubMed:36271009).[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] Publication Abstract from PubMedThe recently discovered lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs) carry out oxidative cleavage of polysaccharides and are of major im-portance for efficient processing of biomass. NcLP-MO9C from Neurospora crassa acts both on cellu-lose and on non-cellulose beta-glucans, including cello-dextrins and xyloglucan. The crystal structure of the catalytic domain of NcLPMO9C revealed an extend-ed highly polar substrate-binding surface well-suited to interact with a variety of sugar substrates. The ability of NcLPMO9C to act on soluble substrates was exploited to study enzyme-substrate interac-tions. Electron spin resonance (EPR) studies demon-strated that the Cu2+ center environment is altered upon substrate binding, whereas isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) studies revealed binding affinities in the low micromolar range for polymeric substrates that are in part due to the presence of a carbohydrate-binding module (a CBM1). Importantly, the novel structure of NcLPMO9C enabled a comparative study, revealing that the oxidative regioselectivity of LPMO9s (C1, C4 or both) correlates with distinct structural features of the copper coordination sphere. In strictly C1 oxidizing LPMO9s, access to the sol-vent-facing axial coordination position is restricted by a conserved tyrosine residue, whereas access to this same position seems unrestricted in C4 oxidizing LPMO9s. LPMO9s known to produce a mixture of C-1 and C4-oxidized products show an intermediate situation.
