Function[GLGB_ORYSJ] Catalyzes the formation of the alpha-1,6-glucosidic linkages in starch by scission of a 1,4-alpha-linked oligosaccharide from growing alpha-1,4-glucan chains and the subsequent attachment of the oligosaccharide to the alpha-1,6 position. Publication Abstract from PubMedStarch branching enzyme (SBE) catalyzes the cleavage of alpha-1,4-linkages and the subsequent transfer of alpha-1,4 glucan to form an alpha-1,6 branch point in amylopectin. We determined the crystal structure of the rice branching enzyme I (BEI) in complex with maltopentaose at a resolution of 2.2A. Maltopentaose bound to a hydrophobic pocket formed by the N-terminal helix, carbohydrate-binding module 48 (CBM48), and alpha-amylase domain. In addition, glucose moieties could be observed at molecular surfaces on the N-terminal helix (alpha2) and CBM48. Amino acid residues involved in the carbohydrate bindings are highly conserved in other SBEs, suggesting their generally conserved role in substrate binding for SBEs.
