Family 6 Carbohydrate Binding Modules Recognize the Non-reducing End of β-1,3-Linked Glucans by Presenting a Unique Ligand Binding Surface

Enzymes that hydrolyze insoluble complex polysaccharide structures contain non-catalytic carbohydrate binding modules (CBMS) that play a pivotal role in the action of these enzymes against recalcitrant substrates. Family 6 CBMs (CBM6s) are distinct from other CBM families in that these protein modules contain multiple distinct ligand binding sites, a feature that makes CBM6s particularly appropriate receptors for the β-1,3-glucan laminarin, which displays an extended U-shaped conformation. To investigate the mechanism by which family 6 CBMs recognize laminarin, we report the biochemical and structural properties of a CBM6 (designated BhCBM6) that is located in an enzyme, which is shown, in this work, to display β-1,3-glucanase activity. BhCBM6 binds β-1,3-glucooligosaccharides with affinities of ∼1 × 105m-1. The x-ray crystal structure of this CBM in complex with laminarihexaose reveals similarity with the structures of other CBM6s but a unique binding mode. The binding cleft in this protein is sealed at one end, which prevents binding of linear polysaccharides such as cellulose, and the orientation of the sugar at this site prevents glycone extension of the ligand and thus conferring specificity for the non-reducing ends of glycans. The high affinity for extended β-1,3-glucooligosaccharides is conferred by interactions with the surface of the protein located between the two binding sites common to CBM6s and thus reveals a third ligand binding site in family 6 CBMs. This study therefore demonstrates how the multiple binding clefts and highly unusual protein surface of family 6 CBMs confers the extensive range of specificities displayed by this protein family. This is in sharp contrast to other families of CBMs where variation in specificity between different members reflects differences in the topology of a single binding site.

The plant cell wall represents the largest reservoir of organic carbon in the biosphere, and thus its degradation by microbial enzymes is pivotal to many biological and industrial processes. The plant cell wall is a complex insoluble structure that is highly recalcitrant to biological attack (1Tomme P. Warren R.A. Gilkes N.R. Adv. Microb. Physiol. 1995; 37: 1-81Crossref PubMed Scopus (622) Google Scholar). To increase the efficiency of this degradative process microorganisms synthesize modular plant cell wall hydrolases in which the catalytic modules are attached via linker peptides to non-catalytic carbohydrate-binding modules (CBMs, 1The abbreviations used are: CBM, carbohydrate-binding module; CBM6, family 6 CBM; BhCBM6, family 6 CBM from B. halodurans laminarinase; IMAC, immobilized metal ion affinity chromatography; ITC, isothermal titration calorimetry; MWCO, molecular weight cut-off; r.m.s.d., root mean-square-deviation; MES, 4-morpholineethanesulfonic acid; PDB, Protein Data Bank. 1The abbreviations used are: CBM, carbohydrate-binding module; CBM6, family 6 CBM; BhCBM6, family 6 CBM from B. halodurans laminarinase; IMAC, immobilized metal ion affinity chromatography; ITC, isothermal titration calorimetry; MWCO, molecular weight cut-off; r.m.s.d., root mean-square-deviation; MES, 4-morpholineethanesulfonic acid; PDB, Protein Data Bank.

CBMs potentiate catalytic activity by mediating prolonged and intimate association between the enzyme and its target substrate (4Bolam D.N. Ciruela A. Mcqueen-Mason S. Simpson P. Williamson M.P.

CBMs are grouped into 40 sequence-based families (8Coutinho P.M. Henrissat B. Gilbert H.J. Davies G.J. Henrissat B. Svensson B. Recent Advances in Carbohydrate Bioengineering. Royal Society of Chemistry, Cambridge1999: 3-12Google Scholar), which may be found in the continuously updated carbohydrate-active enzyme data base at afmb.cnrs-mrs.fr/CAZY/. These protein modules have also been grouped into three types based on the topology of the binding sites, which reflects the macromolecular structure of the target ligand (3Boraston A.B. McLean B.W. Kormos J.M. Alam M. Gilkes N.R. Haynes C.A. Tomme P. Kilburn D.G. Warren R.A.J. Gilbert H.J. Davies G.J. Henrissat B. Svensson B. Recent Advances in Carbohydrate Bioengineering.

Type A CBMs contain a planar hydrophobic ligand binding surface that interacts with crystalline polysaccharides. Type B CBMs, which are derived from 11 different families, contain clefts that accommodate single polysaccharide chains, while the ligand binding sites in Type C CBMs, comprising families 9, 13, 14, 18, and 32, interact with mono- or disaccharides (See Ref. 9Boraston A.B. Bolam D.N. Gilbert H.J. Davies G.J. Biochem. J. 2004; 382: 769-782Crossref PubMed Scopus (1473) Google Scholar for review). Type B CBMs generally bind to the substrate hydrolyzed by the appended catalytic domain of the enzyme, leading to considerable variation in ligand specificity within specific families. The three-dimensional structure of almost all Type B CBMs determined to date conform to a classic lectin-like β-jelly roll in which a single ligand binding site comprises a shallow cleft on the concave surface of the protein. In family 4 and family 2 CBM variation in ligand recognition between different members of these families is reflected in the structure of this conserved binding site (10Boraston A.B. Nurizzo D. Notenboom V. Ducros V. Rose D.R. Kilburn D.G. Davies G.J. J. Mol. Biol. 2002; 319: 1143-1156Crossref PubMed Scopus (126) Google Scholar). By contrast family 6 CBMs (CBM6s), which also adopt the classic β-jelly roll fold, contain two potential ligand binding sites; one (cleft B) on the concave surface and a second (cleft A) located on one edge of the protein between the loops that connect the inner and outer β-sheets (11Czjzek M. Bolam D.N. Mosbah A. Allouch J. Fontes C.M. Ferreira L.M. Bornet O. Zamboni V. Darbon H. Smith N.L. Black G.W. Henrissat B. Gilbert H.J. J. Biol. Chem. 2001; 276: 48580-48587Abstract Full Text Full Text PDF PubMed Scopus (98) Google Scholar). The variation in ligand specificity in CBM6s reflects the functionality of these two binding sites with xylan- and β-(1,4)(1,3) mixed glucan binding modules accommodating these polysaccharides in cleft A and cleft B, respectively (12Pires V.M. Henshaw J. Prates J.A. Bolam D. Ferreira L.M. Fontes C.M. Henrissat B. Planas A. Gilbert H.J. Czjzek M. J. Biol. Chem. 2004; 279: 21560-21568Abstract Full Text Full Text PDF PubMed Scopus (61) Google Scholar). One of the features that distinguish Type B CBMs from lectins is the mechanism of ligand recognition. Each binding site in lectins recognizes one or two sugars through an extensive network of hydrogen bonds, while Type B CBMs generally accommodate four to six sugars, with specificity conferred primarily by the conformation of the ligand, which reflects the topology of the binding site. Although it is well established that the orientation of the aromatic residues in the binding site of CBMs confers specificity for the planar and 3-fold helical conformations of cellulose and xylan, respectively (9Boraston A.B. Bolam D.N. Gilbert H.J. Davies G.J. Biochem. J. 2004; 382: 769-782Crossref PubMed Scopus (1473) Google Scholar), the mechanism by which these protein modules recognize other polysaccharides, which display more elaborate conformations, is unclear. An example of polysaccharides that exhibit complex conformations is provided by the β-1,3-linked glucose polymer laminarin, which adopts an extensive U-shaped conformation, and thus cannot be accommodated in CBMs that contain linear clefts (9Boraston A.B. Bolam D.N. Gilbert H.J. Davies G.J. Biochem. J. 2004; 382: 769-782Crossref PubMed Scopus (1473) Google Scholar). The two potential ligand binding sites in CBM6s may present structural features that make these proteins ideally suited to accommodate polysaccharides with extended U-shaped conformations. To assess this hypothesis we have determined the of a CBM6, BhCBM6, located in an enzyme that displays activity. BhCBM6 bind to affinity for with a the protein displays specificity for the non-reducing of chains, and the crystal structure of BhCBM6 in complex with laminarihexaose that the ligand of cleft A with the surface of the protein that cleft A or cleft B.
