OLIGOSACCHARIDE SUBSTRATE BINDING IN ESCHERICHIA COLI MALTODEXTRIN PHSPHORYLASE

Overview

The crystal structure of E. coli maltodextrin phosphorylase, co-crystallized with an oligosaccharide has been solved at 3.0 A, resolution, providing the first structure of an oligosaccharide bound at, the catalytic site of an alpha-glucan phosphorylase. An induced fit, mechanism brings together two domains across the catalytic site tunnel. A, stacking interaction between the glucosyl residue and the aromatic group, of a tyrosine residue at a sub-site remote (8 A) from the catalytic site, provides a key element in substrate recognition; mutation of this residue, to Ala decreases the Kcat/Km by 10(4). Extrapolation of the results to, substrate binding across the site of attack by phosphorolysis indicates a, likely alteration in the glycosidic torsion angles from their preferred, values, an ...
