However, structural and thermodynamic understanding of the sugar binding/release processes of VhCBP are relatively unknown. VhCBP displayed the greatest affinity towards (GlcNAc)2, with lower affinity for longer-chain chitooligosaccharides [(GlcNAc)3-4]. (GlcNAc)4 partially occupied the closed sugar-binding groove, with two reducing-end GlcNAc units extending beyond the sugar-binding groove and barely characterized by weak electron density. Mutation of three conserved residues (Trp(363), Asp(365) and Trp(513)) to Ala resulted in drastic decreases in the binding affinity towards the preferred substrate (GlcNAc)2, indicating their significant contributions to sugar binding. The structure of the W513A-(GlcNAc)2 complex in a 'half-open' conformation unveiled the intermediary step of the (GlcNAc)2 translocation from the soluble CBP in periplasm to the inner membrane-transporting components. Isothermal calorimetry data suggested that VhCBP adopts the high affinity conformation to bind (GlcNAc)2, whilst its low affinity conformation facilitated sugar release. Thus, chitooligosaccharide translocation, conferred by periplasmic VhCBP, is a crucial step in the chitin catabolic pathway, allowing Vibrio bacteria to thrive in oceans where chitin is their major source of nutrients.
