Substrate specificities
Glycoside hydrolases of this family are exo-acting inverting enzymes. The most commonly characterized activity of the eukaryotic enzymes is processing α-glucosidase I (EC 3.2.1.106), which specifically hydrolyzes the terminal α-1,2-glucosidic linkage in the N-linked oligosaccharide precursor, Glc3Man9GlcNAc2. The enzymatic properties of Cwh41p, a processing α-glucosidase I from Saccharomyces cerevisiae, have been most intensively studied.
Genes for the GH63 enzymes have also been found in archaea and bacteria, but archaea and bacteria have been reported not to produce eukaryotic N-linked oligosacharides, and the principal substrates of archaeal and bacterial GH63 enzymes are still unclear. A bacterial GH63 enzyme, Escherichia coli YgjK, showed the highest activity for the α-1,3-glucosidic linkage of nigerose (Glc-α-1,3-Glc) among commercially available sugars [1].
Kinetics and Mechanism
Family GH63 enzymes are inverting enzymes, as first shown by NMR on a processing α-glucosidase I from S. cerevisiae [2].
Catalytic Residues
The catalytic residues were inferred by comparing the (α/α)6 barrel domain of the GH63 enzyme, E. coli YgjK, with those of GH15 and GH37 enzymes. The catalytic general acid is predicted as an aspartate residue (Asp501 in E. coli YgjK), and the general base is considered as a glutamate residue (Glu727 in E. coli YgjK) [1].
