== Publication Abstract from PubMed ==
Glycans are major nutrients available to the human gut microbiota (HGM). The Bacteroides are generalist glycan degraders and this function is mediated largely by polysaccharide utilization loci (PULs). The genomes of several Bacteroides species contain a PUL, PUL1,6-beta;-glucan, that was predicted to target mixed linked plant 1,3;1,4-beta-glucans. To test this hypothesis we characterized the proteins encoded by this locus in Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron, a member of the HGM. We show here that PUL1,6-beta-glucan does not orchestrate the degradation of a plant polysaccharide but targets a fungal cell wall glycan, 1,6-beta-glucan, which is a growth substrate for the bacterium. The locus is upregulated by 1,6-beta-glucan, and encodes two enzymes, a surface endo-1,6-beta-glucanase, BT3312, and a periplasmic beta-glucosidase that targets primarily 1,6-beta-glucans. The non-catalytic proteins encoded by PUL1,6-beta-glucan target 1,6-beta-glucans and comprise a surface glycan binding protein and a SusD homologue that delivers glycans to the outer membrane transporter. We identified the central role of the endo-1,6-beta-glucanase in 1,6-beta-glucan depolymerization by deleting bt3312, which prevented the growth of B. thetaiotaomicron on 1,6-beta-glucan. The crystal structure of BT3312 in complex with beta-glucosyl-1,6-deoxynojirimycin, revealed a TIM barrel catalytic domain that contains a deep substrate binding cleft tailored to accommodate the hook-like structure adopted by 1,6-beta-glucan. Specificity is driven by the complementarity of the enzyme active site cleft and the conformation of the substrate. We also noted that PUL1,6-beta-glucan is syntenic to many PULs from other Bacteroidetes suggesting that utilization of yeast and fungal cell wall 1,6-beta-glucans is a widespread adaptation within the human microbiota.
