Comments
This enzyme belongs to glycosidase family-39, with a retaining mechanism.
According to the literature [6] and [7], the reaction proceeds as follows:
(0) Arg52 and Tyr230 modulate the activity of catalytic nucleophile, Glu277, whereas His228 modulates the activity of a general acid-base, Glu160.
(1) Glu160 acts as a general acid to protonate the leaving oxygen, O4 atom at subsite +1, forming an oxocarbenium-ion-like transition-state. The transition-state is stabilized by Asn159 and Tyr230 through hydrogen bonding to the oxygen atoms of xylose at subsite -1. (SN1-like reaction)
(2) Glu277 makes a nucleophilic attack on C1 atom of substrate, xylan, to form a covalent intermediate with a xylose unit at the non-reducing end (or subsite -1).
(3) Glu160 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. Thus, the substitution reaction completes.
