ENDO/EXOCELLULASE:CELLOPENTAOSE FROM THERMOMONOSPORA
Overview
Cellulase E4 from Thermomonospora fusca is unusual in that it has, characteristics of both exo- and endo-cellulases. Here we report the, crystal structure of a 68K M(r) fragment of E4 (E4-68) at 1.9 A, resolution. E4-68 contains both a family 9 catalytic domain, exhibiting an, (alpha/alpha)6 barrel fold, and a family III cellulose binding domain, having an antiparallel beta-sandwich fold. While neither of these folds is, novel, E4-68 provides the first cellulase structure having interacting, catalytic and cellulose binding domains. The complexes of E4-68 with, cellopentaose, cellotriose and cellobiose reveal conformational changes, associated with ligand binding and allow us to propose a catalytic, mechanism for family 9 enzymes. We also provide evidence that E4 has two, novel characteristics: first it combines exo- and endo-activities and, second, when it functions as an exo-cellulase, it cleaves off, cellotetraose units.
