The crystal structure of the GH78 family a-rhamnosidase from Klebsiella oxytoca (KoRha) has been determined at 2.7 A °

resolution with rhamnose bound in the active site of the catalytic domain. Curiously, the putative catalytic acid, Asp 222, is

preceded by an unusual non-proline cis-peptide bond which helps to project the carboxyl group into the active centre. This

KoRha homodimeric structure is significantly smaller than those of the other previously determined GH78 structures.

Nevertheless, the enzyme displays a-rhamnosidase activity when assayed in vitro, suggesting that the additional structural

compounds.1 a-L-rhamnose is found in plants and bacteria

as components of polysaccharides, such as pectins,2 and

the O antigen polysaccharides, responsible for determining

the antigenicity of pathogenic bacteria3; it is also found in

rhamnolipids4 and it is attached to small molecule natural

products, such as rutin. There is industrial interest in arhamnosidases

for use in the debittering of citrus juices

and for the release of flavonoids from rhamnosylated precursors;

in wine production they play a role in the hydrolysis

==KoRha structure==

The crystal structure of KoRha with rhamnose bound was

determined to 2.7A ° resolution. The final model consisted of

two KoRha subunits related by a non-crystallographic twofold
 +
axis (giving a corresponding solvent content of 73%) in
 +
the asymmetric unit, with each monomer containing a
 +
bound rhamnose. Dynamic light scattering had suggested
 +
that KoRha was a homodimer in solution and the structure

of KoRha confirmed this, giving a dimer interface of 1389.9

A °

2 (as calculated using the PISA server (http://www.ebi.ac.
 +
uk/pdbe/pisa/).
 +
Each monomer of KoRha is composed of two
 +
domains. Domain A, the catalytic domain, is mainly ahelical,
 +
consisting of residues 11–30 and 180–523, and
 +
contains the bound rhamnose. Domain B, the dimerization
 +
domain, is a b-sandwich domain consisting of residues
 +
31–179.
