CHARACTERIZATION OF A FAMILY 32 CBM

Overview

Clostridium perfringens is a notable colonizer of the human, gastrointestinal tract. This bacterium is quite remarkable for a human, pathogen by the number of glycoside hydrolases found in its genome. The, modularity of these enzymes is striking as is the frequent occurrence of, modules having amino acid sequence identity with family 32, carbohydrate-binding modules (CBMs), often referred to as F5/8 domains., Here we report the properties of family 32 CBMs from a C. perfringens, N-acetyl-beta-hexosaminidase. Macroarray, UV difference, and isothermal, titration calorimetry binding studies indicate a preference for the, disaccharide LacNAc (beta-d-galactosyl-1,4-beta-d-N-acetylglucosamine)., The molecular details of the interaction of this CBM with galactose, LacNAc, and the type II blood group H-trisaccharide are revealed by x-ray, crystallographic studies at resolutions of 1.49, 2.4, and 2.3 A, respectively.
