Comments
This enzyme belongs to the glycosidase family-13.
This enzyme must have the same catalytic mechanism as those homologous enzymes, such as cyclodextrin transferase (M00113 in EzCatDB) and 4-alpha-glucanotransferase (S00202 in EzCatDB).
According to the literature [1], [7], [8], [9], [12] & [13], the reaction proceeds as follows:
(1) Asp526 (or/and His525) modulates the activity of Glu458 by raising its pKa, so that the carboxylate of Glu458 is protonated to act as a general acid.
(2) Glu458 acts as a general acid, to protonate the leaving O4 atom, leading to the formation of oxocarbonium transition-state (SN1-like reaction). This transition state is stabilized by Asp526 and His525.
(3) Asp405 acts as a nucleophile, attacking the C1 atom to form a covalent bond with it, which is an intermediate.
(4) The acceptor group, O6 hydroxyl group, approaches the active site.
(5) Glu257 acts as a general base to deprotonate the acceptor, O6 hydroxyl group of the glucose at subsite +1.
(6) The O6 hydroxyl group makes a nucleophilic attack on the C1 atom, leading to the formation of oxocarbonium transition-state (SN1-like reaction). This transition state is stabilized by Asp526 and His525.
(7) Finally, Asp405 is released.
