Structural highlights
FunctionMGP_BACFN Converts 4-O-beta-D-mannopyranosyl-D-glucopyranose (Man-Glc) to mannose 1-phosphate (Man1P) and glucose. Involved in a mannan catabolic pathway which feeds into glycolysis.[1] Publication Abstract from PubMedThe crystal structure of a novel component of the mannan biodegradation system, 4-O-beta-d-mannosyl-d-glucose phosphorylase (MGP), was determined to a 1.68-A resolution. The structure of the enzyme revealed a unique homohexameric structure, which was formed by using two helices attached to the N-terminus and C-terminus as a tab for sticking between subunits. The structures of MGP complexes with genuine substrates, 4-O-beta-d-mannosyl-d-glucose and phosphate, and the product d-mannose-1-phosphate were also determined. The complex structures revealed that the invariant residue Asp131, which is supposed to be the general acid/base, did not exist close to the glycosidic Glc-O4 atom, which should be protonated in the catalytic reaction. Also, no solvent molecule that might mediate a proton transfer from Asp131 was observed in the substrate complex structure, suggesting that the catalytic mechanism of MGP is different from those of known disaccharide phosphorylases.
