Comments
This enzyme belongs to the glycosidase family-28, with an inverting mechanism.
According to the literature [13], the distances between the three catalytic residues with a carboxy group in the sidechain (Asp153, Asp173, Asp174) are all approximately 5 A, although the distances between the catalytic carboxy groups should be approximately 10 A in the ordinary inverting glycosidases. The difference of the catalytic site of this glycosidase enzyme from those of the other enzymes might suggest some differenes in its catalytic mechanism from those by other enzymes. According to the literature [13], the reaction proceeds by SN2-like reaction, for this enzyme, unlike the other glycosidase enzymes.
According to the literature [13], the reaction of this enzyme proceeds as follows:
(0) Lys228 and Arg226 (of 1k5c) modulate and decrease the pKa of Asp174, one of general bases, whilst Asp156 modulate the pKa of Asp153, another base.
(1) Asp174 and Asp153 act as general bases, which deprotonate and activate the hydrolytic water. (Asp174 is more likely to be a general base than Asp153.)
(2) The activated water makes a nucleophilic attack on anomeric carbon of the scissile bond. The reaction proceeds by an SN2-like mechanism.
(3) Asp173 acts as a general acid to protonate the leaving group, the glycosidic oxygen, completing the hydrolysis.
