Method: X-ray diffraction, Resolution 1.87Å Ligands: BGC, DIO, GOL, PEG, PG4 Resources: FirstGlance, OCA, PDBe, RCSB, PDBsum, ProSAT Function BE_THEKO Catalyzes the formation of branch points in alpha-glucans by cleavage of an alpha-1,4 glycosidic bond and subsequent transfer of the cleaved-off oligosaccharide to a new alpha-1,6 position. The branch chain-length distribution of the reaction products shows degree of polymerization (DP) of 5 to 30, with two local maxima at DP 6 and DP 11. Exhibits an alpha-retaining catalytic mechanism. Does not display alpha-galactosidase or pullulanase activity, since melibiose and pullulan are not substrates. Is not able to catalyze the hydrolysis or transglycosylation of maltoheptaose, suggesting that the TK1436 protein contains neither alpha-amylase nor 4-alpha-glucanotransferase activity. Publication Abstract from PubMed Branching enzymes (BEs) catalyze the formation of branch points in glycogen and amylopectin by cleavage of alpha-1,4 glycosidic bonds and subsequent transfer to a new alpha-1,6 position. BEs generally belong to glycoside hydrolase family 13 (GH13); however TK1436, isolated from the hyperthermophilic archaeon Thermococcus kodakaraensis KOD1, is the first GH57 member, which possesses BE activity. To date, the only BE structure that had been determined is a GH13-type from Escherichia coli. Herein, we have determined the crystal structure of TK1436 in the native state and in complex with glucose and substrate mimetics that permitted mapping of the substrate-binding channel and identification of key residues for glucanotransferase activity. Its structure encompasses a distorted (beta/alpha)(7)-barrel juxtaposed to a C-terminal alpha-helical domain, which also participates in the formation of the active-site cleft. The active site comprises two acidic catalytic residues (Glu183 and Asp354), the polarizer His10, aromatic gate-keepers (Trp28, Trp270, Trp407, and Trp416) and the residue Tyr233, which is fully conserved among GH13- and GH57-type BEs. Despite TK1436 displaying a completely different fold and domain organization when compared to E. coli BE, they share the same structural determinants for BE activity. Structural comparison with AmyC, a GH57 alpha-amylase devoid of BE activity, revealed that the catalytic loop involved in substrate recognition and binding, is shortened in AmyC structure and it has been addressed as a key feature for its inability for glucanotransferase activity. The oligomerization has also been pointed out as a possible determinant for functional differentiation among GH57 members.
