Substrate specificities

AA10s have been shown to cleave chitin [1, 2, 3] and cellulose [4] chains through an oxidative reaction mechanism. However, since a several studies on members of AA10 have been published prior to identification of their enzymatic function, substrate binding data are more abundant than data showing enzyme activity. It should be noted that AA10 modules often are found combined with additional modules, e.g. Carbohydrate-binding modules (CBMs) that may determine or aid binding of the catalytic AA10 module to its substrate (see further down for examples).

Before proteins belonging to AA10 were identified as enzymes, they were generally known as chitin binding proteins (CBPs). The reason for this was that most AA10s studied had been identified in chitinolytic systems such as that of Serratia marcescens [5, 6], several Streptomyces species [7, 8, 9, 10], Vibrio cholerae [11], Pseudomonas aeruginosa [12] and Lacotococcus lactis [13]. Upon their characterization no other function than substrate binding could be identified, thus the name "chitin binding protein" was coined. Substrates identified have been alpha-chitin [7, 14], beta-chitin [6, 15], both the alpha- and beta-chitin allomorphs [10, 13, 16] chitosan [9], cellulose [4, 17] and even bacterial and eptihelial cell surfaces where the binding interaction substrate has been suggested to be GlcNAc containing glycoproteins or proteoglycans [11, 18]. It should be noted that studies on AA10s prior to their identification as copper-dependent metalloenzymes were conducted in the absence of Cu(II), which may have had influence on the binding affinity and specificity of the enzyme.

As previously noted, AA10s exist both as single module entities and in multimodular forms. CBP21 from S. marcescens and EfCBM33A from E. faecalis are catalytically functional single-module AA10s that both bind well to chitin (CBP21 is specific for beta-chitin, whereas EfCBM33A binds to both alpha and beta-chitin). The cellulose targeting AA10 from S. coelicolor (CelS2) on the other hand, is bimodular and contains a cellulose binding CBM2 in addition to the catalytic AA10 module [4]. The V. cholerae AA10 is an elongated tetra-modular protein where the N-terminal AA10 module binds mucin, the two following modules bind bacterial cell walls and the C-terminal CBM5/12 bind chitin [11].

The substrate binding surface of AA10s is flat and lack the typical arrangement of aromatic amino acids that is common for carbohydrate binding proteins. It is therefore thought that substrate binding is predominantly mediated by hydrogen bonds. The flat substrate binding surface seems optimal for binding the flat surface of crystalline carbohydrate structures like cellulose and chitin.

Three-dimensional structures

In 2005 the structure CBP21 from S. marcescens was solved and represents the first structure in the AA10 family 2BEM [15]. The CBP21 wild type structure has three molecules in the asymetric unit, which of only chain C show electron density for a metal bound in the metal binding motif (modeled as a sodium ion, but is probably a reduced copper ion with low occupancy). Later the same year the structure of the CBP21-Y54A mutant was solved (different crystal form and space group), showing two molecules in the asymetric unit with no trace of electron density for a metal ion bound in the active site 2BEN [21]. The second AA10 structure, one of two AA10 from Burkholderia pseudomallei 1710b (Uniprot ID: Q3JY22), was published in the PDB late in 2011 by Seattle Structural Genomics Center for Infectious Disease 3UAM. The structure contains five molecules in the asymetric unit that all have two amino acids from the signal peptide still attached to the N-terminus, most likely disrupting the active site. The third unique AA10 structure to be solved was GbpA from Vibrio cholerae O1 biovar El Tor str. N16961 2XWX [11]. GbpA is unique in the sense that it contains four discreet modules (the N-termainl AA10 module, two modules with unkown funtion and a C-terminal CBM5/12) in addition to the N-terminal AA10 module. The published structure of GbpA only lacks the C-termainal CBM5/12 and is thus the first multimodular AA10 structure to be published. Shortly after the release of the GbpA, the structure of EfCBM33A from Enterococcus faecalis 4A02 [2] was published. The structure of EfCBM33A was solved at very high resolution (0.95Å), but similar to the other structures solved, no metal ion was observed bound in the active site. In 2012 the solution structure of CBP21 wild type (apo-form) was solved by NMR 2LHS [3] and in spring 2013 the structure of the single AA10 harbored byBacillus amyloliquefaciens DSM7 (BaCBM33) was published [19]. The latter publication contained three structures; the apo-enzyme 2YOW and two structures containing a reduced copper ion bond to the active site 2YOY 2YOX, thus being the first AA10 structures with the copper ion (that is essential for activity) bound in the active site.
