Method: X-ray diffraction, Resolution 1.85Å Ligands: XYP Resources: FirstGlance, OCA, PDBe, RCSB, PDBsum, ProSAT Function XY10C_CELJA Endo-acting xylanase which specifically cleaves internal linkages on the xylan backbone, releasing xylooligosaccharides. Is able to hydrolyze oat spelt xylan, the arabinoxylans from wheat and rye, and glucuronoxylan. Also displays very low activity against xylooligosaccharides. During the xylan degradation process, Xyn10C may act on the soluble xylans and long xylooligosaccharides products released by the secreted xylanases Xyn11A, Xyn11B and Xyn10A.

Publication Abstract from PubMed Microbial degradation of the plant cell wall is the primary mechanism by which carbon is utilized in the biosphere. The hydrolysis of xylan, by endo-beta-1,4-xylanases (xylanases), is one of the key reactions in this process. Although amino acid sequence variations are evident in the substrate binding cleft of "family GH10" xylanases (see afmb.cnrs-mrs.fr/CAZY/), their biochemical significance is unclear. The Cellvibrio japonicus GH10 xylanase CjXyn10C is a bi-modular enzyme comprising a GH10 catalytic module and a family 15 carbohydrate-binding module. The three-dimensional structure at 1.85 A, presented here, shows that the sequence joining the two modules is disordered, confirming that linker sequences in modular glycoside hydrolases are highly flexible. CjXyn10C hydrolyzes xylan at a rate similar to other previously described GH10 enzymes but displays very low activity against xylooligosaccharides. The poor activity on short substrates reflects weak binding at the -2 subsite of the enzyme. Comparison of CjXyn10C with other family GH10 enzymes reveals "polymorphisms" in the substrate binding cleft including a glutamate/glycine substitution at the -2 subsite and a tyrosine insertion in the -2/-3 glycone region of the substrate binding cleft, both of which contribute to the unusual properties of the enzyme. The CjXyn10C-substrate complex shows that Tyr-340 stacks against the xylose residue located at the -3 subsite, and the properties of Y340A support the view that this tyrosine plays a pivotal role in substrate binding at this location. The generic importance of using CjXyn10C as a template in predicting the biochemical properties of GH10 xylanases is discussed.
