ABSTRACT

The genomes of myonecrotic Clostridium perfringens isolates contain genes encoding a large and fascinating array of highly modular glycoside hydrolase enzymes. Although the catalytic activities of many of these enzymes are somewhat predictable based on their amino acid sequences, the functions of their abundant ancillary modules are not and remain poorly studied. Here, we present the structural and functional analysis of a new family of ancillary carbohydrate-binding modules (CBMs), CBM51, which was previously annotated in data bases as the novel putative CBM domain. The high resolution crystal structures of two CBM51 members, GH95CBM51 and GH98CBM51, from a putative family 95 alpha-fucosidase and from a family 98 blood group A/B antigen-specific endo-beta-galactosidase, respectively, showed them to have highly similar beta-sandwich folds. However, GH95CBM51 was shown by glycan microarray screening, isothermal titration calorimetry, and x-ray crystallography to bind galactose residues, whereas the same analyses of GH98CBM51 revealed specificity for the blood group A/B antigens through non-conserved interactions. Overall, this work identifies a new family of CBMs with many members having apparent specificity for eukaryotic glycans, in keeping with the glycan-rich environment C. perfringens would experience in its host. However, a wider bioinformatic analysis of this CBM family also indicated a large number of members in non-pathogenic environmental bacteria, suggesting a role in the recognition of environmental glycans.

FIGURE 3. Fold and calcium binding of CBM51. Shown are color-ramped schematic representations of GH95CBM51 with methyl-β-D-galactose (A) and GH98CBM51 with the B antigen trisaccharide (B), both with bound calcium atoms shown as pink spheres and ligands in stick representation. C shows a schematic representation of CBM6-1 from Clostridium stercorarium (Protein Data Bank code 1uy4) (34), with its bound calcium atom shown as a pink sphere and its bound xylotetraose ligand shown in stick representation. This structure is a representative β-sandwich CBM showing the common calcium-binding site.

FIGURE 5. Comparison of GH95CBM51, GH98CBM51, and other CBM51 members. A, overlay of the GH95CBM51 (yellow) and GH98CBM51 (magenta) carbohydrate-binding sites. Relevant side chains involved in binding and ligands are shown in stick representation, and the metal atoms are shown as spheres. B, phylogenetic analysis of CBM51. The inset shows the complete analysis and indicates the subfamilies. Subfamilies CBM51a and CBM51b (circled in the inset) are expanded with detailed entries. The green star denotes the GH98CBM51 entry, and the blue star denotes the GH95CBM51 entry. C, alignment of subfamilies CBM51a (indicated by the green vertical line) and CBM51b (indicated by the blue vertical line). The entry numbering corresponds to that in B. GH98CBM51 and GH95CBM51 are indicated by stars as in B. The secondary structures for GH98CBM51 and GH95CBM51 are shown above and below the alignment, respectively. Yellow arrows denote β-strands, and the red cylinder represents an -helix. Residues involved in ligand binding by GH98CBM51 and GH95CBM51 are indicated above and below the alignment, respectively, by arrowheads.
