Ligand specificities

Mention here all major natural ligand specificities that are found within a given family (also plant or mammalian origin). Certain linkages and promiscuity would also be mentioned here if biologically relevant.

Note: Here is an example of how to insert references in the text, together with the "biblio" section below: Please see these references for an essential introduction to the CAZy classification system: [1, 2]. CBMs, in particular, have been extensively reviewed [3, 4, 5, 6].

Structural Features

Content in this section should include, in paragraph form, a description of:

• Fold:

X14 displays a classical distorted β-jelly-roll fold consisting of eight β-strands in two antiparallel β-sheets, each of four strands. The edges of the protein structure comprise five and three loops respectively, and one α-helix completes the structure (Ala 75- Glu 76- Asn 77). On one edge, three loops (5, 7 and 8) form a deep and wide cleft (≈ 17.4 Å broad and 5.5 Å deep). This site is furnished by two exposed tryptophans, Trp 85 and Trp 98, and the side-chain of His 100. Although Trp 85 lies parallel with the protein surface, Trp 98 is twisted by approximatively 91° so that the two residues are perpendicular to each other. Trp 85 is surrounded by loops 5 and 7 which appear to be highly mobile, with poor side-chain density. However, a disulphide bond between Cys 90 and Cys 101 runs across the cleft. As a result of space group constraints, the entrance to the cleft is partially occupied by the C-terminal His6-tag of a symmetry-related molecule. One calcium ion is found in the contact zone between two symmetry-related molecules, involving the main-chain carbonyl oxygen of the His 118 of the His6-tag of one molecule and the following residues of the other molecule: the main-chain O of His 100 (loop 8), OD1 of Asp 55, OD2 of Asp 60 and the O of Arg 59 (loop 5). Coordination is completed with a water molecule.

• Type: Include here Type A, B, or C and properties
• Features of ligand binding: Describe CBM binding pocket location (Side or apex) important residues for binding (W, Y, F, subsites), interact with reducing end, non-reducing end, planar surface or within polysaccharide chains. Include examples pdb codes. Metal ion dependent. Etc.

Functionalities

Content in this section should include, in paragraph form, a description of:

• Functional role of CBM: Describe common functional roles such as targeting, disruptive, anchoring, proximity/position on substrate.
• Most Common Associated Modules: 1. Glycoside Hydrolase Activity; 2. Additional Associated Modules (other CBM, FNIII, cohesin, dockerins, expansins, etc.)
• Novel Applications: Include here if CBM has been used to modify another enzyme, or if a CBM was used to label plant/mammalian tissues? Etc.
