Substrate specificities

The characterized member of family 93 are known to hydrolyse α-1,5-L-arabinan. EC:3.2.1-

Kinetics and Mechanism

GH93 enzymes are exoenzymes which only release arabinobiose from the non-reducing end. Net retention of the configuration of the anomeric carbon is proposed from the products of the transglycosylation activity of the protein Abnx from Penicillium chrysogenum. [1] It was recently supported in the crystal structure of the Arb93A enzyme from Fusarium graminearum in complex with arabinobiose. <3></3>

Catalytic Residues

From the crystal structure of Arb93A, Glu170 and Glu242 are proposed to act as nucleophile and acid/base respectively. Mutagenesis experiment support their role in catalysis and they are strictly conserved between the family members. [3]

Three-dimensional structures

The recent crystal structure of Arb93A reveals a six-bladed beta-propeller fold characteristic of sialidases of clan GHE. The catalytic machinery is however very different from that of sialidases. [3]

Family Firsts

First sterochemistry determination

This was determined with the Abxn enzyme using the H1-NMR technique to follow the products of its transglycosylation activity [2]

First catalytic nucleophile identification This was proposed based on the structure of Arb93A [3]

First general acid/base residue identification This was proposed based on the structure of Arb93A [3]

First 3-D structure Determined for Arb93A by Carapito and co-workers [3]
