== Publication Abstract from PubMed ==

Streptococcus agalactiae hyaluronate lyase degrades primarily hyaluronan, the main polysaccharide component of the host connective tissues, into unsaturated disaccharide units as the end product. Such function of the enzyme destroys the normal connective tissue structure of the host and exposes the tissue cells to various bacterial toxins. The crystal structure of hexasaccharide hyaluronan complex with the S. agalactiae hyaluronate lyase was determined at 2.2 A resolution; the mechanism of the catalytic process, including the identification of specific residues involved in the degradation of hyaluronan, was clearly identified. The enzyme is composed structurally and functionally from two distinct domains, an alpha-helical alpha-domain and a beta-sheet beta-domain. The flexibility of the protein was investigated by comparing the crystal structures of the S. agalactiae and the Streptococcus pneumoniae enzymes, and by using essential dynamics analyses of CONCOORD computer simulations. These revealed important modes of flexibility, which could be related to the protein function. First, a rotation/twist of the alpha-domain relative to the beta-domain is potentially related to the mechanism of processivity of the enzyme; this twist motion likely facilitates shifting of the ligand along the catalytic site cleft in order to reposition it to be ready for further cleavage. Second, a movement of the alpha- and beta-domains with respect to each other was found to contribute to a change in electrostatic characteristics of the enzyme and appears to facilitate binding of the negatively charged hyaluronan ligand. Third, an opening/closing of the substrate binding cleft brings a catalytic histidine closer to the cleavable substrate beta1,4-glycosidic bond. This opening/closing mode also reflects the main conformational difference between the crystal structures of the S. agalactiae and the S. pneumoniae hyaluronate lyases.
