Publication Abstract from PubMed Starch-branching enzyme 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. Sequence analysis of the rice-branching enzyme I (BEI) indicated a modular structure in which the central alpha-amylase domain is flanked on each side by the N-terminal carbohydrate-binding module 48 and the alpha-amylase C-domain. We determined the crystal structure of BEI at a resolution of 1.9 A by molecular replacement using the Escherichia coli glycogen BE as a search model. Despite three modular structures, BEI is roughly ellipsoidal in shape with two globular domains that form a prominent groove which is proposed to serve as the alpha-polyglucan-binding site. Amino acid residues Asp344 and Glu399, which are postulated to play an essential role in catalysis as a nucleophile and a general acid/base, respectively, are located at a central cleft in the groove. Moreover, structural comparison revealed that in BEI, extended loop structures cause a narrowing of the substrate-binding site, whereas shortened loop structures make a larger space at the corresponding subsite in the Klebsiella pneumoniae pullulanase. This structural difference might be attributed to distinct catalytic reactions, transglycosylation and hydrolysis, respectively, by BEI and pullulanase.
