STRUCTURAL BASIS FOR THE PROMISCUOUS SPECIFICITY OF THE CARBOHYDRATE-BINDING MODULES FROM THE BETA-SANDWICH SUPER FAMILY

Overview

Enzyme systems that attack the plant cell wall contain noncatalytic, carbohydrate-binding modules (CBMs) that mediate attachment to this, composite structure and play a pivotal role in maximizing the hydrolytic, process. Although xyloglucan, which includes a backbone of beta-1,4-glucan, decorated primarily with xylose residues, is a key component of the plant, cell wall, CBMs that bind to this polymer have not been identified. Here, we showed that the C-terminal domain of the modular Clostridium, thermocellum enzyme CtCel9D-Cel44A (formerly known as CelJ) comprises a, novel CBM (designated CBM44) that binds with equal affinity to cellulose, and xyloglucan. We also showed that accommodation of xyloglucan side, chains is a general feature of CBMs that bind to single cellulose chains., The ... [(full description)]
