Comments
This enzyme belongs to glycosidase family-27, with a retaining mechanism.
Alpha-galactosidases can be classified into glycosidase family-4, 27, 36, 57, 97 and 110 (see [9]). Alpha-galactosidases from eukaryotes are generally classified into glycosidase family-27, whereas prokaryotic alpha-galactosidases are mostly classified into glycosidase family-36 (see [9]).
This enzyme is homologous to alpha-N-acetylgalactosaminidase (EC 3.2.1.49; D00665 in EzCatDB) and a counterpart enzyme from fungi (EC 3.2.1.22; D00863), which is specific for galactomannan.
According to the literature [5], [6] and [10], the reaction proceeds as follows:
(0) Considering the conservation and relative location of active-site residues, Arg227 (of 1r46) modulates the activity of Asp231, whilst Tyr134 modulates the activity of Asp170.
(1) Asp231 (of 1r46) acts as a general acid to protonate the leaving group. This protonation may form an oxocarbenium-ion like transition-state. Asp92 may stabilize the transition-state through hydrogen bond with O4 atom of alpha-galactoside substrate.
(2) Meanwhile, Asp170 makes a nucleophilic attack on the C1 atom of alpha-D-galactoside at the non-reducing end, forming a covalent intermediate with an inverted configuration at C1. (SN1-like reaction)
(3) Asp231 acts as a general base to deprotonate a water molecule, to activate it.
(4) The activated water makes a nucleophilic attack on the C1 atom of the covalent intermediate, releasing the alpha-D-galactose product.
