STRUCTURE OF THE 6-PHOSPHO-BETA GLUCOSIDASE FROM THERMOTOGA MARITIMA AT 2.55 ANGSTROM RESOLUTION IN THE TETRAGONAL FORM WITH MANGANESE, NAD+ AND GLUCOSE-6-PHOSPHATE
Overview
Among the numerous well-characterized families of glycosidases, family 4 appears to be the anomaly, requiring both catalytic NAD+ and a divalent metal for activity. The unusual cofactor requirement prompted the proposal of a mechanism involving key NAD+-mediated redox steps as well as elimination of the glycosidic oxygen. Primary kinetic isotope effects for the 2- and 3-deutero substrate analogues, isotopic exchange with solvent, and structural analysis of a 6-phospho-beta-glucosidase, BglT (E.C. 3.2.1.6), provided evidence in support of the proposed mechanism, which has striking resemblances to that of the sugar dehydratases. Furthermore, analysis of the stereochemical outcome indicated that family 4 enzymes are retaining glycosidases.
