Solution structure of the Chitin-Binding Domain of Streptomyces griseus Chitinase C
Overview
Chitinase C from Streptomyces griseus HUT6037 was discovered as the first, bacterial chitinase in family 19 other than chitinases found in higher, plants. Chitinase C comprises two domains: a chitin-binding domain, (ChBD(ChiC)) for attachment to chitin and a chitin-catalytic domain for, digesting chitin. The structure of ChBD(ChiC) was determined by means of, 13C-, 15N-, and 1H-resonance nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), spectroscopy. The conformation of its backbone comprised two beta-sheets, composed of two and three antiparallel beta-strands, respectively, this, being very similar to the backbone conformations of the cellulose-binding, domain of endoglucanase Z from Erwinia chrysanthemi (CBD(EGZ)) and the, chitin-binding domain of chitinase A1 from Bacillus circulans WL-12, (ChBD(ChiA1)). The interaction between ChBD(ChiC) and, hexa-N-acetyl-chitohexaose was monitored through chemical shift, perturbations, which showed that ChBD(ChiC) interacted with the substrate, through two aromatic rings exposed to the solvent as CBD(EGZ) interacts, with cellulose through three characteristic aromatic rings. Comparison of, the conformations of ChBD(ChiA1), ChBD(ChiC), and other typical chitin-, and cellulose-binding domains, which have three solvent-exposed aromatic, residues responsible for binding to polysaccharides, has suggested that, they have adopted versatile binding site conformations depending on the, substrates, with almost the same backbone conformations being retained.
