Substrate specificities
This glycoside hydrolase family has only one assigned activity to date, β-arabinofuranosidease. The founding member of this family, BT_0349, was shown to cleave both β1,2- and β1,3-linked arabinofuranose sidechains present in branched sugar beet arabinan [1].
Kinetics and Mechanism
The only characterised GH146 enzyme, BT_0349 displays exo-activity on β-linked arabinofuranose by deploying a retaining mechanism, based on identification of catalytic residues [1].
Catalytic Residues
The catalytic nucleophile and general acid/base residues of the founding member of GH146, BT_0349, were identified as Cys414 and Glu318, respectively [1].
Three-dimensional structures
The crystal structure of BT_0349, solved using SAD methods to a resolution of 2.1 A, revealed a four-domain structure. The N-terminal catalytic domain comprises an (α/ α)5 barrel followed by three β-sandwich domains (1, 2 & 3). An arabinofuranose is present in the active site pocket of the catalytic domain, while a zinc atom is coordinated by three cystines and a glutamate in the same domain. The catalytic apparatus is completely conserved with GH127, however GH127 lacks β-sandwich domain 3 which is positioned over the active site, effectively burying the bound arabinofuranose [1].
