Rhamnogalacturonan lyase from Aspergillus aculeatus K150A substrate complex
Structural highlights
FunctionRGLA_ASPAC Pectinolytic enzyme that has a positive effect in the apple hot-mash liquefaction process. This endolyase hydrolyzes the alpha-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1,4)-alpha-D-galacturonopyranosyl glycosidic linkage by beta-elimination, thereby generating oligosaccharides terminating at the non-reducing end with a hex-4-enopyranosyluronic acid residue.[1] [2] [3] Evolutionary Conservation Check, as determined by ConSurfDB. You may read the explanation of the method and the full data available from ConSurf. Publication Abstract from PubMedWe present here the first experimental evidence for bound substrate in the active site of a rhamnogalacturonan lyase belonging to family 4 of polysaccharide lyases, Aspergillus aculeatus rhamnogalacturonan lyase (RGL4). RGL4 is involved in the degradation of rhamnogalacturonan-I, an important pectic plant cell wall polysaccharide. Based on the previously determined wild-type structure, enzyme variants RGL4_H210A and RGL4_K150A have been produced and characterized both kinetically and structurally, showing that His210 and Lys150 are key active-site residues. Crystals of the RGL4_K150A variant soaked with a rhamnogalacturonan digest gave a clear picture of substrate bound in the -3/+3 subsites. The crystallographic and kinetic studies on RGL4, and structural and sequence comparison to other enzymes in the same and other PL families, enable us to propose a detailed reaction mechanism for the beta-elimination on [-,2)-alpha-l-rhamno-(1,4)-alpha-d-galacturonic acid-(1,-]. The mechanism differs significantly from the one established for pectate lyases, in which most often calcium ions are engaged in catalysis.
