Substrate specificities
The cyclization domain alone of cyclic β-1,2-glucan synthase from Thermoanaerobacter italicus (TiCGSCy) was identified, characterized and structurally analyzed as reported in 2024 [1]. This enzyme established the novel glycoside hydrolase family (GH) 189. This enzyme specifically catalyzes transglycosylation reactions on linear β-1,2-glucans (LβGs) and β-1,2-glucooligosaccharides (Sopns, where 'n' represents the degree of polymerization (DP)) with DP 6 or more [2]. In the deglycosylation step, intermolecular transglycosylation results in release of disproportionated linear products, while intramolecular transglycosylation results in cyclization of the substrates to release cyclic β-1,2-glucans (CβGs) [3].
Kinetics and Mechanism
The reaction products of TiCGSCy were obtained using LβG as the substrate. The β-glucosidase-resistant compounds in the products were purified by size-exclusion chromatography. 1H-NMR analysis of these purified polysaccharides suggested that they are CβGs. These results clearly demonstrate that TiCGSCy has a retaining mechanism [4].
Structural analysis (see “3-D structures” below) and mutational analysis suggest that E1442 of TiCGSCy acts on an anomeric carbon of a glucose moiety at subsite −1 as a nucleophile and E1356 of TiCGSCy acts on a scissile bond of a substrate via 3-hydroxy group of a glucose moiety at subsite +2 as an acid/base [5]. The reaction mechanism of TiCGSCy is noncanonical in that a substrate hydroxy group participates in the catalytic process [6].
Catalytic Residues
The acid/base residue and the nucleophile residue of TiCGSCy are E1356 and E1442, respectively. In addition, these residues are well superimposed with the general acid and the nucleophilic water in the GH162 fungal β-1,2-glucanase from Talaromyces funiculosus (TfSGL), respectively [7]. TfSGL has an inverting mechanism particularly catalyzing a unique reaction via the 3-hydroxy group of the glucose molecule at subsite +2 [8].
As of Jan. 2024, the detailed reaction mechanisms of GH144 enzymes remain unclear [9]. However, SGLs belonging to both GH144 and GH162 have an inverting mechanism unlike GH189 [10]. A structural comparison revealed that the positions of the acid/base residue in GH189, the candidate catalytic residues in GH144 and the general acid residue in GH162 are well superimposed. On the other hand, the positions of the other catalytic residues (or candidate catalytic residues) in GH189, GH144 and GH162 are completely different.
Three-dimensional structures
The apo-structure of the recombinant TiCGSCy was determined at 3.8 Å by X-ray crystal structure analysis (PDB: 8WY1) [11]. The overall structure comprises a single (α/α)6-barrel domain with several inserted α-helices and TiCGSCy has a large active-site pocket [12]. Interestingly, although GH189 (= TiCGSCy), GH144 and GH162 enzymes are quite different in their amino acid sequences, their overall structures and the positions of the substrate in their catalytic pockets are similar [13].
GH144 and GH162 were officially classified as part of clan GH-S in this paper [14]. Although GH189 enzymes share a similar (α/α)6 fold structure with GH144 and GH162 enzymes, GH189 enzymes have a retaining mechanism unlike GH144 and GH162 enzymes with an inverting mechanism. Due to the fundamental difference in reaction mechanisms, GH189 is not included in clan GH-S; instead, GH189 could be regarded as a member of a potential new GH clan [15].
