XYLOGLUCAN ENDOTRANSGLYCOSYLASE IN COMPLEX WITH THE XYLOGLUCAN NONASACCHARIDE XLLG.
Overview
Xyloglucan endotransglycosylases (XETs) cleave and religate xyloglucan, polymers in plant cell walls via a transglycosylation mechanism. Thus, XET, is a key enzyme in all plant processes that require cell wall remodeling., To provide a basis for detailed structure-function studies, the crystal, structure of Populus tremula x tremuloides XET16A (PttXET16A), heterologously expressed in Pichia pastoris, has been determined at 1.8-A, resolution. Even though the overall structure of PttXET16A is a curved, beta-sandwich similar to other enzymes in the glycoside hydrolase family, GH16, parts of its substrate binding cleft are more reminiscent of the, distantly related family GH7. In addition, XET has a C-terminal extension, that packs against the conserved core, providing an additional beta-strand, and a short alpha-helix. The structure of XET in complex with a xyloglucan, nonasaccharide, XLLG, reveals a very favorable acceptor binding site, which is a necessary but not sufficient prerequisite for, transglycosylation. Biochemical data imply that the enzyme requires sugar, residues in both acceptor and donor sites to properly orient the, glycosidic bond relative to the catalytic residues.
