Ligands: NA, SO4, FRU Related: 4azz, 4b1l Activity: Fructan beta-fructosidase, with EC number 3.2.1.80 Resources: FirstGlance, OCA, PDBe, RCSB, PDBsum, ProSAT Function [SACC_BACSU] Exo-fructosidase that can hydrolyze both levan and inulin, leading to the production of free fructose. Is also able to hydrolyze sucrose and to a small extent raffinose, but not melezitose, stachylose, cellobiose, maltose, and lactose. Publication Abstract from PubMed Noncatalytic carbohydrate binding modules (CBMs) are components of glycoside hydrolases that attack generally inaccessible substrates. CBMs mediate a two- to fivefold elevation in the activity of endo-acting enzymes, likely through increasing the concentration of the appended enzymes in the vicinity of the substrate. The function of CBMs appended to exo-acting glycoside hydrolases is unclear because their typical endo-binding mode would not fulfill a targeting role. Here we show that the Bacillus subtilis exo-acting beta-fructosidase SacC, which specifically hydrolyses levan, contains the founding member of CBM family 66 (CBM66). The SacC-derived CBM66 (BsCBM66) targets the terminal fructosides of the major fructans found in nature. The crystal structure of BsCBM66 in complex with ligands reveals extensive interactions with the terminal fructose moiety (Fru-3) of levantriose but only limited hydrophobic contacts with Fru-2, explaining why the CBM displays broad specificity. Removal of BsCBM66 from SacC results in a approximately 100-fold reduction in activity against levan. The truncated enzyme functions as a nonspecific beta-fructosidase displaying similar activity against beta-2,1- and beta-2,6-linked fructans and their respective fructooligosaccharides. Conversely, appending BsCBM66 to BT3082, a nonspecific beta-fructosidase from Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron, confers exolevanase activity on the enzyme. We propose that BsCBM66 confers specificity for levan, a branched fructan, through an "avidity" mechanism in which the CBM and the catalytic module target the termini of different branches of the same polysaccharide molecule. This report identifies a unique mechanism by which CBMs modulate enzyme function, and shows how specificity can be tailored by integrating nonspecific catalytic and binding modules into a single enzyme. How nature can exploit nonspecific catalytic and carbohydrate binding modules to create enzymatic specificity.,Cuskin F, Flint JE, Gloster TM, Morland C, Basle A, Henrissat B, Coutinho PM, Strazzulli A, Solovyova AS, Davies GJ, Gilbert HJ Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A. 2012 Dec 3.
