Crystal Structure of xylanase (GH10) in complex with inhibitor (XIP)
Structural highlights
Function[XIP1_WHEAT] Fungal xylanase inhibitor. Possesses competitive inhibiting activity against fungal endo-1,4-beta-D-xylanases belonging to glycoside hydrolase family 10 (GH10) and family 11 (GH11). Possesses also inhibitory activity towards barley alpha-amylases. Binding to xylanases or amylases is necessary for inhibition activity. May function in plant defense against secreted fungal pathogen xylanases. Is similar to class III chitinases, but does not exhibit chitinase activity.[1] [2] [3] [4] [XYNC_EMENI] Endo-1,4-beta-xylanase involved in the hydrolysis of xylan, a major structural heterogeneous polysaccharide found in plant biomass representing the second most abundant polysaccharide in the biosphere, after cellulose.[5] [6] Evolutionary Conservation Check, as determined by ConSurfDB.

Publication Abstract from PubMedThe xylanase inhibitor protein I (XIP-I) from wheat Triticum aestivum is the prototype of a novel class of cereal protein inhibitors that inhibit fungal xylanases belonging to glycoside hydrolase families 10 (GH10) and 11 (GH11). The crystal structures of XIP-I in complex with Aspergillus nidulans (GH10) and Penicillium funiculosum (GH11) xylanases have been solved at 1.7 and 2.5 A resolution, respectively. The inhibition strategy is novel because XIP-I possesses two independent enzyme-binding sites, allowing binding to two glycoside hydrolases that display a different fold. Inhibition of the GH11 xylanase is mediated by the insertion of an XIP-I Pi-shaped loop (Lalpha(4)beta(5)) into the enzyme active site, whereas residues in the helix alpha7 of XIP-I, pointing into the four central active site subsites, are mainly responsible for the reversible inactivation of GH10 xylanases. The XIP-I strategy for inhibition of xylanases involves substrate-mimetic contacts and interactions occluding the active site. The structural determinants of XIP-I specificity demonstrate that the inhibitor is able to interact with GH10 and GH11 xylanases of both fungal and bacterial origin. The biological role of the xylanase inhibitors is discussed in light of the present structural data.
