Substrate specificities

The GH173 family comprises members with β-galactosidase activity [1]. The founding member of the GH173 family named herein as CapGH173 ([PBMDCECB_44807]), was identified in a novel metagenome-assembled genome (MAG) recovered from the Bacteroidales bacterium MAG42, a novel genus among the Uncultivated Bacteria and Archaea family (UBA932). CapGH173 was found in a Polysaccharide Utilization Loci (PUL) that includes enzymes from families GH2 and GH78; however, a multidomain protein organization was also predicted among GH173 members, having an additional GH36 domain. Biochemical characterization of CapGH173 showed it is active on p-nitrophenyl-β-D-galactopyranoside (pNP-β-D-Gal) and kinetic parameters were determined from substrate saturation curves. Phylogenetic analysis showed that CapGH173 is remotely related to GH-A CAZy families, with GH30 and GH5 being the closest ones [1].

Kinetics and Mechanism

Family GH173 members are retaining enzymes (inferred [1]).

Catalytic Residues

The residues E305 and E207 correspond to the nucleophile and acid/base, respectively (inferred by structural superposition) [1].

Three-dimensional structures

Protein modeling and threading performed using AlphaFold and PDBsum, respectively, revealed that CapGH173 consists of an (α/β)8-barrel structure, which is an archetypal scaffold of the clan GH-A. According to structural predictions, CapGH173 exhibits a two-domain architecture including an appended β-sandwich domain, which is a similar structural organization found in the GH30 family. Except for the residues defining the clan GH-A, sequence alignment with GH5 and GH30 members revealed a very low sequence conservation below the criterium for significant similarity detection (using an e-value < 0.05), demonstrating that although the domains in the tertiary structure can be similar, the sequences between these families are remarkably diverse [1].  

Family Firsts
