CGTASE FROM THERMOANAEROBACTERIUM THERMOSULFURIGENES EM1 IN COMPLEX WITH A MALTOHEXAOSE INHIBITOR
Overview
The product specificity and pH optimum of the thermostable cyclodextrin, glycosyltransferase (CGTase) from Thermoanaerobacterium thermosulfurigenes, EM1 was engineered using a combination of x-ray crystallography and, site-directed mutagenesis. Previously, a crystal soaking experiment with, the Bacillus circulans strain 251 beta-CGTase had revealed a maltononaose, inhibitor bound to the enzyme in an extended conformation. An identical, experiment with the CGTase from T. thermosulfurigenes EM1 resulted in a, 2.6-A resolution x-ray structure of a complex with a maltohexaose, inhibitor, bound in a different conformation. We hypothesize that the new, maltohexaose conformation is related to the enhanced alpha-cyclodextrin, production of the CGTase. The detailed structural information ... [(full description)]
