Publication Abstract from PubMedGlgE (EC 2.4.99.16) is an alpha-maltose 1-phosphate:(1-->4)-alpha-d-glucan 4-alpha-d-maltosyltransferase of the CAZy glycoside hydrolase 13_3 family. It is the defining enzyme of a bacterial alpha-glucan biosynthetic pathway and is a genetically validated anti-tuberculosis target. It catalyzes the alpha-retaining transfer of maltosyl units from alpha-maltose 1-phosphate to maltooligosaccharides and is predicted to use a double-displacement mechanism. Evidence of this mechanism was obtained using a combination of site-directed mutagenesis of Streptomyces coelicolor GlgE isoform I, substrate analogues, protein crystallography, and mass spectrometry. The X-ray structures of alpha-maltose 1-phosphate bound to a D394A mutein and a beta-2-deoxy-2-fluoromaltosyl-enzyme intermediate with a E423A mutein were determined. There are few examples of CAZy glycoside hydrolase family 13 members that have had their glycosyl-enzyme intermediate structures determined, and none before now have been obtained with a 2-deoxy-2-fluoro substrate analogue. The covalent modification of Asp394 was confirmed using mass spectrometry. A similar modification of wild-type GlgE proteins from S. coelicolor and Mycobacterium tuberculosis was also observed. Small-angle X-ray scattering of the M. tuberculosis enzyme revealed a homodimeric assembly similar to that of the S. coelicolor enzyme but with slightly differently oriented monomers. The deeper understanding of the structure-function relationships of S. coelicolor GlgE will aid the development of inhibitors of the M. tuberculosis enzyme.
