ABSTRACT Phanerochaete chrysosporium cellulase genes were cloned and characterized. The cel61A product was structurally similar to fungal endoglucanases of glycoside hydrolase family 61, whereas the cel9A product revealed similarities to Thermobifida fusca Cel9A (E4), an enzyme with both endo- and exocellulase characteristics. The fungal Cel9A is apparently a membrane-bound protein, which is very unusual for microbial cellulases. Transcript levels of both genes were substantially higher in cellulose-grown cultures than in glucose-grown cultures. These results show that P. chrysosporium possesses a wide array of conventional and unconventional cellulase genes.

AbstractThermal inactivation of saccharifying enzymes is a crucial issue for the efficient utilization of cellulosic biomass as a renewable resource. Cellobiohydrolases (CBHs) is a kind of cellulase. In general, CBHs belonging to glycoside hydrolase (GH) family 6 (Cel6) act synergistically with CBHs of GH family 7 (Cel7) and other carbohydrate-active enzymes during the degradation of cellulosic biomass. However, while the catalytic rate of enzymes generally becomes faster at higher temperatures, Cel6 CBHs are inactivated at lower temperatures than Cel7 CBHs, and this represents a limiting factor for industrial utilization. In this study, we produced a series of mutants of the glycoside hydrolase family 6 cellobiohydrolase PcCel6A from the fungus Phanerochaete chrysosporium, and compared their thermal stability. Eight mutants from a random mutagenesis library and one rationally designed mutant were selected as candidate thermostable mutants and produced by heterologous expression in the yeast Pichia pastoris. Comparison of the hydrolytic activities at 50 and 60 °C indicated that the thermal stability of PcCel6A is influenced by the number and position of cysteine residues that are not involved in disulfide bonds.

The pre-steady-state kinetics of inter-domain electron transfer in the extracellular flavocytochrome cellobiose dehydrogenase from Phanerochaete chrysosporium was studied using various values of pH and substrate concentration. Monitoring at the isosbestic point of each prosthetic group indicated that the reductive half-reactions of flavin and haem were biphasic and monophasic respectively. When the observed rates of the flavin and haem reactions were plotted against substrate concentration, the behaviour of the second phase of the flavin reduction was almost identical with that of haem reduction at all substrate concentrations and pH values tested, suggesting that the formation of flavin semiquinone and haem reduction involve the same electron transfer reaction. Although flavin reduction by cellobiose was observed in the range of pH3.0–7.0, the velocity of the next electron transfer step decreased with increase of pH and was almost zero above pH6.0. The second phase of flavin reduction and the haem reduction were inhibited similarly by high concentrations of the substrate, whereas the first phase of flavin reduction showed a hyperbolic relation to the cellobiose concentration. Increase in pH enhanced the substrate inhibition of haem reduction but not the initial flavin reduction. Moreover, the dissociation constant Kd of flavin reduction and the substrate inhibition constant Ki of haem reduction decreased similarly with an increase of pH. From these results, it is evident that binding of cellobiose to the active site inhibits electron transfer from flavin to haem.

Recent work exploring protein sequence space has revealed a new glycoside hydrolase (GH) family (GH164) of putative mannosidases. GH164 genes are present in several commensal bacteria, implicating these genes in the degradation of dietary glycans. However, little is known about the structure, mechanism of action, and substrate specificity of these enzymes. Herein we report the biochemical characterization and crystal structures of the founding member of this family (Bs164) from the human gut symbiont Bacteroides salyersiae. Previous reports of this enzyme indicated that it has α-mannosidase activity, however, we conclusively show that it cleaves only β-mannose linkages. Using NMR spectroscopy, detailed enzyme kinetics of WT and mutant Bs164, and multiangle light scattering we found that it is a trimeric retaining β-mannosidase, that is susceptible to several known mannosidase inhibitors. X-ray crystallography revealed the structure of Bs164, the first known structure of a GH164, at 1.91 Å resolution. Bs164 is composed of three domains: a (β/α)8 barrel, a trimerization domain, and a β-sandwich domain, representing a previously unobserved structural-fold for β-mannosidases. Structures of Bs164 at 1.80–2.55 Å resolution in complex with the inhibitors noeuromycin, mannoimidazole, or 2,4-dinitrophenol 2-deoxy-2-fluoro-mannoside reveal the residues essential for specificity and catalysis including the catalytic nucleophile (Glu-297) and acid/base residue (Glu-160). These findings further our knowledge of the mechanisms commensal microbes use for nutrient acquisition.

Cellobiohydrolases belonging to glycoside hydrolase family 6 (CBH II, Cel6A) play key roles in the hydrolysis of crystalline cellulose. CBH II from the white-rot fungusPhanerochaete chrysosporium(PcCel6A) consists of a catalytic domain (CD) and a carbohydrate-binding module connected by a linker peptide, like other known fungal cellobiohydrolases. In the present study, the CD ofPcCel6A was crystallized without ligands, andp-nitrophenyl β-D-cellotrioside (pNPG3) was soaked into the crystals. The determined structures of the ligand-free andpNPG3-soaked crystals revealed that binding of cellobiose at substrate subsites +1 and +2 induces a conformational change of the N-terminal and C-terminal loops, switching the tunnel-shaped active site from the open to the closed form.
