Comments
This enzyme belongs to the glycosidase family-3, with a retaining mechanism.
According to the literature [1], although the reactions by this enzyme are similar to those by (1,3)-beta-glucan exohydrolases that have been classified in E.C. 3.2.1.58, this enzyme can hydrolyze substrates with linkages other than those in the (1,3)-position.
Furthermore, whilst the glycosidases that are classified in the E.C. 3.2.1.58 must have an inverting mechanism, releaseing alpha-D-Glucose, this enzyme has got a retaining mechanism, releasing beta-D-glucose. Thus, the E.C. number of this enzyme is not completely assigned yet.
According to the literature [2] & [6], the reaction of this enzyme proceeds as follows:
(1) Trp430 and Trp434 may act as modulator by increasing the pKa of Glu491, whereas Arg158 may decrease the pKa of Glu491 as a modulator.
(2) Glu491 acts as a general acid to protonate the leaving oxygen atom, leading to the formation of an oxocarbonium ion-like transition-state. Here, Asp285 may stabilize the positive charge on the C1 carbon of the oxocarbonium ion-like transition-state.
(3) Asp285 makes a nucleophilic attack on the C1 carbon, forming a glycosyl-enzyme intermediate.
(4) Glu491 acts as a general base to activate a water molecule.
(5) The activated water molecule makes a nucleophilic attack on the C1 carbon of the intermediate, completing the hydrolysis reaction through the formation of an oxocarbonium ion-like transition-state.
