Comments
This enzyme belongs to the glycosidase family-5.
The paper [3] described general aspects of the catalytic mechanism of retaining beta-glycosyl hydrolases. Accoriding to the paper, the mechanism can be described as follows:
(1) Saccharide binds in a "twisted-boat" conformation.
(2) The beta-1,4 linkage is broken, leading to the formation of a transition state with a slight positive charge at the anomeric carbon, in a "half-chair" conformation, which develops a oxocarbenium-ion-like character.
(3) An approach of the ionic species to the catalytic nucleophile leads to the formation of a covalent intermediate of inverted alpha-configuration in a so-called chair conformation. The aglycon is released and a water molecule diffuses into the vicinity of the acidic residue as a general base.
(4) The covalent intermediate reactivates through an oxocarbenium-ion-like transition state. The general base abstracts a proton from the incoming water, which in turn carries out a nucleophilic attack on the C1 atom of the residual saccharide.
Moreover, comparing the structural data with that of xylanase (E.C. 3.2.1.8) (D00479 in EzCatDB) and the other family-5 enzyme, cellulase (E.C. 3.2.1.4) (S00203 in EzCatDB), Tyr255 might stabilize the leaving nucleophile, Glu292 in deglycosylation, whilst His253 might modulate the activity of Glu192. On the other hand, Tyr255 might modulate the activity of the nucleophile, according to the data of the other homologous enzyme, beta-glucosidase (E.C. 3.2.1.21) (S00205 in EzCatDB).
