Cbh9A CBM3b crystallized in space group P4(1) with four molecules in the asymmetric unit and diffracted to a resolution of 2.20 A using synchrotron radiation. The structure was determined by molecular replacement using C. thermocellum Cel9V CBM3b' (PDB entry 2wnx) as a model. The C. thermocellum Cbh9A CBM3b molecule forms a nine-stranded antiparallel beta-sandwich similar to other family 3 carbohydrate-binding modules (CBMs). It has a short planar array of two aromatic residues that are assumed to bind cellulose, yet it lacks the ability to bind cellulose. The molecule contains a shallow groove of unknown function that characterizes other family 3 CBMs with high sequence homology. In addition, it contains a calcium-binding site formed by a group of amino-acid residues that are highly conserved in similar structures. After determination of the three-dimensional structure of Cbh9A CBM3b, the site-specific N126W mutant was produced with the intention of enhancing the cellulose-binding ability of the CBM. Cbh9A CBM3b(N126W) crystallized in space group P4(1)2(1)2, with one molecule in the asymmetric unit. The crystals diffracted to 1.04 A resolution using synchrotron radiation. The structure of Cbh9A CBM3b(N126W) revealed incorporation of the mutated Trp126 into the putative cellulose-binding strip of residues. Cellulose-binding experiments demonstrated the ability of Cbh9A CBM3b(N126W) to bind cellulose owing to the mutation. This is the first report of the engineered conversion of a non-cellulose-binding CBM3 to a binding CBM3 by site-directed mutagenesis. The three-dimensional structure of Cbh9A CBM3b(N126W) provided a structural correlation with cellulose-binding ability, revealing a longer planar array of definitive cellulose-binding residues.
