Comments
This family belongs to Glycosidase family-10, which has an retaining mechanism (equatorial to equatorial conformation), and also a family of 4/7 superfamily, which has got catalytic residues at the C-terminal ends of beta-4 and beta-7 on the (alpha/beta)8 barrel fold.
According to the literature [2] & [4], Glu246 and Glu127 (of 1clx) act as a nucleophile and acid-base, respectively. The catalysis proceeds through a dissociative-type (or SN1-like) mechanism, with a formation of oxocarbonium ion in the transition state, during the glycosylation of the active site. During the glycosylation, Glu246 approaches the C1 atom of the glcose to form a covalent intermediate, whilst Glu127 protonates the leaving group. (At the second stage, or during the deglycosylation, a water molecule can be activated by a general base, Glu127.)
Moreover, comparing the structural data with that of the other family-10 enzyme, xylanase (E.C. 3.2.1.8) (D00479 in EzCatDB), His215-Asp248 dyad seems to stabilize the leaving nucleophile, Glu246, during the deglycosylation.
