CELLULOMONAS FIMI XYLANASE/CELLULASE DOUBLE MUTANT E127A/H205N WITH COVALENT CELLOBIOSE
Overview
The catalytic mechanism of 'retaining' beta-glycosidases has been the, subject of considerable interest and debate for many years. The, visualization of a covalent glycosyl enzyme intermediate by X-ray, crystallography was first accomplished with a saccharide substrate, substituted with fluorine at its 2-position. The structure implicated, major roles for residue His 205 and for the 2-hydroxyl position of the, proximal saccharide in binding and catalysis. Here we have studied the, kinetic behavior of various His 205 mutants. One of these mutants, a, double mutant H205N/E127A, has been used to stabilize a covalent, glycosyl-enzyme intermediate involving an unsubstituted sugar, permitting, crystallographic analysis of the interactions between its 2-hydroxyl group, and the enzyme.
