Abstract
Cellobiose dehydrogenase (CDH) participates in the degradation of cellulose and lignin. The protein is an extracellular flavocytochrome with a b-type cytochrome domain (CYT(cdh)) connected to a flavodehydrogenase domain (DH(cdh)). DH(cdh) catalyses a two-electron oxidation at the anomeric C1 position of cellobiose to yield cellobiono-1,5-lactone, and the electrons are subsequently transferred from DH(cdh) to an acceptor, either directly or via CYT(cdh). Here, we describe the crystal structure of Phanerochaete chrysosporium DH(cdh) determined at 1.5 A resolution. DH(cdh) belongs to the GMC family of oxidoreductases, which includes glucose oxidase (GOX) and cholesterol oxidase (COX); however, the sequence identity with members of the family is low. The overall fold of DH(cdh) is p-hydroxybenzoate hydroxylase-like and is similar to, but also different from, that of GOX and COX. It is partitioned into an FAD-binding subdomain of alpha/beta type and a substrate-binding subdomain consisting of a seven-stranded beta sheet and six helices. Docking of CYT(cdh) and DH(cdh) suggests that CYT(cdh) covers the active-site entrance in DH(cdh), and that the resulting distance between the cofactors is within acceptable limits for inter-domain electron transfer. Based on docking of the substrate, cellobiose, in the active site of DH(cdh), we propose that the enzyme discriminates against glucose by favouring interaction with the non-reducing end of cellobiose.

Figure 6. Comparison of the loop-and-lid structure in COX, GOX and DH[cdh]. (a) COX[Bre] (loop 46-94; lid 95-109), (b) GOX[Asp] (loop 54-75; lid 76-97), and (c) DH[cdh] (loop 250-288; lid residues 289-299). The loop and lid segments are coloured red and blue, respectively. The flavin cofactor is coloured yellow. The picture was made as described for Figure 1(a).

Figure 7. Stereo view of the superimposed active sites in DH[cdh], GOX and COX. Atom colours: carbon (DH[cdh], yellow; GOX, pink; COX, green); oxygen, red; nitrogen, blue. Residues Asn309, His689 and Asn732, as well as the isoalloxazine ring of the FAD cofactor are shown for DH[cdh]. Superposition was made to obtain optimal alignment of the pyrimidine moiety and the N5 atom of the flavin ring system. The picture was made as described for Figure 1(a).
