Abstract
Inulosucrases are enzymes capable of synthesizing inulin polymers using sucrose as the main substrate. The enzymatic activity relies on the catalytic triad within the active site and residues responsible for substrate recognition and orientation, termed carbohydrate-binding subsites. This study investigates the role of specific residues within the catalytic cavity of a truncated version of IslA4 in enzymatic catalysis. Mutants at residues S425, L499, A602, R618, F619, Y676, Y692, and R696 were constructed and characterized. Characterization results, and in silico structural comparison with other fructansucrases, reveal these residues' functional significance in catalysis. Residue S425 belongs to subsite -1; residues R618 and Y692 are part of subsite +1, and residue R696 belongs to subsites +1 and +2. Residues L499 and A602 are support residues; the former favors the formation of the fructosyl-enzyme intermediate, while the latter stabilizes the acid/base catalyst during catalysis. Residues Y676 and F619 may participate in stabilizing residues at -1/+1 subsites. This study represents the first comprehensive exploration of the structural determinants essential for enzymatic function in the inulosucrase of Leuconostoc citreum, and proposes the identity of residues involved in the -1 to +2 subsites.
期刊介绍:
The International Journal of Biological Macromolecules is a well-established international journal dedicated to research on the chemical and biological aspects of natural macromolecules. Focusing on proteins, macromolecular carbohydrates, glycoproteins, proteoglycans, lignins, biological poly-acids, and nucleic acids, the journal presents the latest findings in molecular structure, properties, biological activities, interactions, modifications, and functional properties. Papers must offer new and novel insights, encompassing related model systems, structural conformational studies, theoretical developments, and analytical techniques. Each paper is required to primarily focus on at least one named biological macromolecule, reflected in the title, abstract, and text.
