These pectins are also attacked by PMEs from phytopathogens and phytophagous insects. The de-methylesterification by PMEs of the O6-methylester groups of the homogalacturonan (HG) component of pectin, exposing galacturonic acids, can occur processively or non-processively, respectively describing sequential versus single de-methylesterification events occurring before enzyme-substrate dissociation. The high-resolution X-ray structures of a PME from Aspergillus niger in deglycosylated and Asn-linked N-acetylglucosamine-stub forms reveal a 10(2/3)-turn parallel beta helix (similar to but with less extensive loops than bacterial, plant and insect PMEs). Capillary electrophoresis shows that this PME is non-processive, halophilic and acidophilic. Molecular-dynamics simulations and electrostatic-potential calculations reveal very different behavior and properties compared to processive PMEs. Specifically, uncorrelated rotations are observed about the glycosidic bonds of a partially de-methylesterified decasaccharide model substrate, in sharp contrast to the correlated rotations of processive PMEs, and the substrate-binding groove is negatively not positively charged.
