ABSTRACT
|
|
|
| |
|
Hydrolysis of carbohydrates is a major bioreaction in nature, catalyzed by
glycoside hydrolases (GHs). We used neutron diffraction and high-resolution
x-ray diffraction analyses to investigate the hydrogen bond network in inverting
cellulase PcCel45A, which is an endoglucanase belonging to subfamily C of GH
family 45, isolated from the basidiomycete Phanerochaete chrysosporium.
Examination of the enzyme and enzyme-ligand structures indicates a key role of
multiple tautomerizations of asparagine residues and peptide bonds, which are
finally connected to the other catalytic residue via typical side-chain hydrogen
bonds, in forming the "Newton's cradle"-like proton relay pathway of
the catalytic cycle. Amide-imidic acid tautomerization of asparagine has not
been taken into account in recent molecular dynamics simulations of not only
cellulases but also general enzyme catalysis, and it may be necessary to
reconsider our interpretation of many enzymatic reactions.
