CHITINASE B FROM SERRATIA MARCESCENS WILDTYPE IN COMPLEX WITH INHIBITOR ALLOSAMIDIN
Overview
Chitinase B (ChiB) from Serratia marcescens is a family 18 exo-chitinase, whose catalytic domain has a TIM-barrel fold with a tunnel-shaped active, site. We have solved structures of three ChiB complexes that reveal, details of substrate binding, substrate-assisted catalysis, and product, displacement. The structure of an inactive ChiB mutant (E144Q) complexed, with a pentameric substrate (binding in subsites -2 to +3) shows closure, of the "roof" of the active site tunnel. It also shows that the sugar in, the -1 position is distorted to a boat conformation, thus providing, structural evidence in support of a previously proposed catalytic, mechanism. The structures of the active enzyme complexed to allosamidin, (an analogue of a proposed reaction intermediate) and of the active enzyme, ... [(full description)]
