Publication Abstract from PubMed

Crystal structures of Klebsiella pneumoniae pullulanase (KPP) in complex with alpha-cyclodextrin (alpha-CD), beta-cyclodextrin (beta-CD) and gamma-cyclodextrin (gamma-CD) were refined at around 1.98-2.59 A resolution from data collected at SPring-8. In the structures of the complexes obtained with 1 mM alpha-CD or gamma-CD, one molecule of CD was found at carbohydrate-binding module 41 only (CBM41). In the structures of the complexes obtained with 1 mM beta-CD or with 10 mM alpha-CD or gamma-CD, two molecules of CD were found at CBM41 and in the active-site cleft, where the hydrophobic residue of Phe746 occupies the inside cavity of the CD rings. In contrast to alpha-CD and gamma-CD, one beta-CD molecule was found at the active site only in the presence of 0.1 mM beta-CD. These results were coincident with the solution experiments, which showed that beta-CD inhibits this enzyme more than a thousand times more potently than alpha-CD and gamma-CD. The strong inhibition of beta-CD is caused by the optimized interaction between beta-CD and the side chain of Phe746. The increased Ki values of the F746A mutant for beta-CD supported the importance of Phe746 in the strong interaction of pullulanase with beta-CD.
