CARBOHYDRATE BINDING MODULE FAMILY29 COMPLEXED WITH MANNOHEXAOSE

Overview

Carbohydrate-protein recognition is central to many biological processes., Enzymes that act on polysaccharide substrates frequently contain, noncatalytic domains, "carbohydrate-binding modules" (CBMs), that target, the enzyme to the appropriate substrate. CBMs that recognize specific, plant structural polysaccharides are often able to accommodate both the, variable backbone and the side-chain decorations of heterogeneous ligands., "CBM29" modules, derived from a noncatalytic component of the Piromyces, equi cellulase/hemicellulase complex, provide an example of this selective, yet flexible recognition. They discriminate strongly against some, polysaccharides while remaining relatively promiscuous toward both, beta-1,4-linked manno- and cello-oligosaccharides. This feature may, reflect ...
