INTERNAL XYLAN BINDING DOMAIN FROM CELLULOMONAS FIMI XYLANASE D, NMR, 5 STRUCTURES
Overview
BACKGROUND: Many enzymes that digest polysaccharides contain separate polysaccharide-binding domains. Structures have been previously determined for a number of cellulose-binding domains (CBDs) from cellulases. RESULTS: The family IIb xylan-binding domain 1 (XBD1) from Cellulomonas fimi xylanase D is shown to bind xylan but not cellulose. Its structure is similar to that of the homologous family IIa CBD from C. fimi Cex, consisting of two four-stranded beta sheets that form a twisted 'beta sandwich'. The xylan-binding site is a groove made from two tryptophan residues that stack against the faces of the sugar rings, plus several hydrogen-bonding polar residues. CONCLUSIONS: The biggest difference between the family IIa and IIb domains is that in the former the solvent-exposed tryptophan sidechains are coplanar, whereas in the latter they are perpendicular, forming a twisted binding site. The binding sites are therefore complementary to the secondary structures of the ligands cellulose and xylan. XBD1 and CexCBD represent a striking example of two proteins that have high sequence similarity but a different function.
