The structure of the complex between the starch debranching enzyme barley limit dextrinase (LD), hydrolyzing alpha-1,6-glucosidic linkages, and its endogenous inhibitor (LDI) was solved at 2.7 A. The structure reveals an entirely new and unexpected binding mode of LDI as compared to previously solved complex-structures of related cereal-type family inhibitors (CTIs) bound to glycoside hydrolases, but is structurally analogous to binding of dual specificity CTIs to proteases. Site-directed mutagenesis establishes that a hydrophobic cluster flanked by ionic interactions in the protein-protein interface is vital for the picomolar affinity of LDI to LD as assessed by analysis of binding by using surface plasmon resonance and also supported by LDI inhibition of the LD enzyme activity. A phylogenetic analysis identified four LDI-like proteins in cereals among the 45 sequences from monocot databases that could be classified as unique CTI sequences. The unprecedented binding mechanism shown here for LDI has likely evolved in cereals from a need for effective inhibition of debranching enzymes having characteristic open active site architecture. The findings give a mechanistic rationale for the potency of LD activity regulation and provide a molecular understanding of the debranching events associated with optimal starch mobilization and utilization during germination. This study unveils a hitherto not recognized structural basis for the features endowing diversity to CTIs.
