Substrate specificities
GH37 enzymes have been shown, to date, to hydrolyse only the disaccharide trehalose (α-D-glucopyranosyl-(1→1)-α-D-glucopyranoside) into two glucose units (EC 3.2.1.28).
Kinetics and Mechanism
A trehalase from flesh fly was shown to hydrolyse with inversion of stereochemistry using 18O labelled water. The structural solution of the trehalase from Escherichia coli demonstrates the active site catalytic residues are in a position consistent with an inverting mechanism.
Catalytic Residues
Content is to be added here.
Three-dimensional structures
The only structural representative from GH37 to date is the trehalase from Escherichia coli, which was solved using X-ray crystallography [1]. The structure revealed a (α/α)6 barrel fold, and was placed into clan GH-G. Structures have been solved with the inhibitors validoxylamine A, 1-thiatrehazolin and a casuarine analogue [1, 2].
