==Overview==
Alpha-glucuronidases, components of an ensemble of enzymes central to the, recycling of photosynthetic biomass, remove the alpha-1,2 linked, 4-O-methyl glucuronic acid from xylans. The structure of the, alpha-glucuronidase, GlcA67A, from Pseudomonas cellulosa reveals three, domains, the central of which is a (beta/alpha)(8) barrel housing the, catalytic apparatus. Complexes of the enzyme with the individual reaction, products, either xylobiose or glucuronic acid, and the ternary complex of, both glucuronic acid and xylotriose reveal a "blind" pocket which selects, for short decorated xylooligosaccharides substituted with the uronic acid, at their nonreducing end, consistent with kinetic data. The catalytic, center reveals a constellation of carboxylates; Glu292 is poised to, provide protonic assistance to leaving group departure with Glu393 and, Asp365 both appropriately positioned to provide base-catalyzed assistance, for inverting nucleophilic attack by water.
