ABSTRACT
The crystal structure of the glycoprotein rhamnogalacturonan acetylesterase from
Aspergillus aculeatus has been refined to a resolution of 1.12 A using
synchrotron data collected at 263 K. Both of the two putative N-glycosylation
sites at Asn104 and Asn182 are glycosylated and, owing to crystal contacts, the
glycan structure at Asn182 is exceptionally well defined in the electron-density
maps, showing the six-carbohydrate structure
Manalpha1-6(Manalpha1-3)Manalpha1-6Manbeta1-4GlcNAcbeta1-4GlcNAcbeta-Asn182.
Equivalent carbohydrate residues were restrained to have similar geometries, but
were refined without target values. The refined bond lengths and angles were
compared with the values obtained from small-molecule studies that form the
basis for the dictionaries used for glycoprotein refinement.
