To identify principles that confer transferase versus hydrolase reaction specificity, we exploited two enzymes that use highly similar catalytic apparatuses to catalyze the transglycosylation (a transferase reaction) or hydrolysis of alpha-1,3-glucan linkages in the cyclic tetrasaccharide cycloalternan (CA). We show that substrate binding to non-catalytic domains and a conformationally stable active site promote CA transglycosylation, whereas a distinct pattern of active site conformational change is associated with CA hydrolysis. These findings defy the classic view of induced-fit conformational change and illustrate a mechanism by which a stable hydrophobic binding site can favor transferase activity and disfavor hydrolysis. Application of these principles could facilitate the rational reengineering of transferases with desired catalytic properties.
