| Enzymes that hydrolyze complex polysaccharides into simple sugars are modular in architecture and consist of single or multiple catalytic domains fused to targeting modules called carbohydrate binding modules (CBMs). CBMs bind to their ligands with high affinity, and increase the efficiency of the catalytic components by targeting the enzymes to its substrate. Here, we utilized a multi-disciplinary approach to characterize each of the two family 16 carbohydrate binding domain component of the highly active mannanase from the thermophile T. polysaccharolyticum. These represent the first crystal structures of family 16 CBMs. Calorimetric analysis show that while these CBMs demonstrate high specificity towards ss-1,4 linked sugars, they can engage both cello- and manno-polysaccharides. In order to elucidate the molecular basis for this specificity and selectivity, we have determined high resolution crystal structures of each of the two carbohydrate binding modules, as well as of binary complexes of CBM16-1 bound to either mannopentaose or cellopentaose. These results provide detailed molecular insights into ligand recognition and yield a framework for rational engineering experiments designed to expand the natural repertoire of these targeting modules.
