Comments
This enzyme belongs to the glycosidase family-9, with an inverting mechanism.
Although the structure of the domain 3 (dockerin repeat region) has not been determined yet, it must have a similar structure to that of type-I dockerin domain (PDB;1daq).
Althoug this enzyme binds a zinc ion and three calcium ions, they are not involved in catalysis. They must play structural roles (see [1] & [6]).
Although a catalytic histdine residue is not conserved in this enzyme, the catalytic domain of this enzyme is homologous to those of the other glycosidase family-9 enzymes (S00531, D00167, T00245, M00192 in EzCatDB). Considering the active-site structure of this enzyme, instead of a catalytic histidine residue, Tyr205 must act as a modulator for Asp201.
The reaction of this enzyme may proceeds as follows:
(0) Tyr354 modulates the pKa of Asp198, whereas Tyr205 modulates the pKa of Asp201.
(1) Glu555 acts as a general acid to protonate the leaving group, the glycosidic oxygen, forming an oxocarbonium ion in the transition state. (SN1-like reaction)
(2) Both Asp198 and Asp201 act as general bases to deprotonate the nucleophilic water. (Here, Asp201 seems more likely to be the base.)
(3) The activated water makes a nucleophilic attack on the anomeric carbon to complete the reaction.
