BETA-GLUCOSIDASE FROM BACILLUS CIRCULANS SP. ALKALOPHILUS
Overview
Family 1 of glycosyl hydrolases is a large and biologically important, group of enzymes. A new three-dimensional structure of this family, beta-glucosidase from Bacillus circulans sp. alkalophilus is reported, here. This is the first structure of beta-glucosidase from an alkaliphilic, organism. The model was determined by the molecular replacement method and, refined to a resolution of 2.7 A. The quaternary structure of B. circulans, sp. alkalophilus beta-glucosidase is an octamer and subunits of the, octamer show a similar (beta/alpha)(8) barrel fold to that previously, reported for other family 1 enzymes. The crystal structure suggested that, Cys169 in the active site is substituted. The Cys169 is located near the, putative acid/base catalyst Glu166 and it may contribute to the high pH, ...
