We have measured the hydrolyses of α- and β-cellobiosyl fluorides by the Cel6A [cellobiohydrolase II (CBHII)] enzymes of Humicola insolens and Trichoderma reesei, which have essentially identical crystal structures [Varrot, Hastrup, Schülein and Davies (1999) Biochem. J. 337, 297-304]. The β-fluoride is hydrolysed according to Michaelis-Menten kinetics by both enzymes. When the ~ 2.0% of β-fluoride which is an inevitable contaminant in all preparations of the α-fluoride is hydrolysed by Cel7A (CBHI) of T. reesei before initial-rate measurements are made, both Cel6A enzymes show a sigmoidal dependence of rate on substrate concentration, as well as activation by cellobiose. These kinetics are consistent with the classic Hehre resynthesis-hydrolysis mechanism for glycosidase-catalysed hydrolysis of the ‘wrong’ glycosyl fluoride for both enzymes. The Michaelis-Menten kinetics of α-cellobiosyl fluoride hydrolysis by the T. reesei enzyme, and its inhibition by cellobiose, previously reported [Konstantinidis, Marsden and Sinnott (1993) Biochem. J. 291, 883-888] are withdrawn. 1H NMR monitoring of the hydrolysis of α-cellobiosyl fluoride by both enzymes reveals that in neither case is α-cellobiosyl fluoride released into solution in detectable quantities, but instead it appears to be hydrolysed in the enzyme active site as soon as it is formed.

Cellobiohydrolase II hydrolyses alpha- and beta-D-cellobiosyl fluorides to alpha-cellobiose at comparable rates, according to Michaelis-Menten kinetics. The stereochemistry, absence of transfer products and strict hyperbolic kinetics of the hydrolysis of alpha-cellobiosyl fluoride suggest that the mechanism for the alpha-fluoride may be the enzymic counterpart of the SNi reaction observed in the trifluoroethanolysis of alpha-glucopyranosyl fluoride [Sinnott and Jencks (1980) J. Am. Chem. Soc. 102, 2026-2032]. The absolute factors by which this enzyme accelerates fluoride ion release are small and greater for the alpha-fluoride than for the beta, suggesting that its biological function may not be just glycoside hydrolysis. Cellobiohydrolase I hydrolyses only beta-cellobiosyl fluoride, which is, however, an approx. 1-3% contaminant in alpha-cellobiosyl fluoride as prepared and purified by conventional methods. Instrumental assays for the various components of the cellulase complex are discussed.

The hydrolysis of p-nitrophenyl acetate (NPA) by trypsin has been investigated in the early stage of the reaction using stopped-flow techniques. The influence of pH on the initial rate suggests competitive inhibition of the active site of the enzyme by hydrogen ions. The dissociation constant of the enzyme obtained from the kinetics of this reaction (pK = 6.9) indicates possible catalysis by an ammo group or an imidazole group of the enzyme. Lysine methyl ester as an analogue of the enzyme catalyzes the hydrolysis of NPA under similar experimental conditions. The results are described in terms of an assumed mechanism and the nature of the catalytic site is discussed.

Cellulase is a family of at least three groups of enzymes that participate in the sequential hydrolysis of cellulose. Recombinant expression of cellulases might allow reducing their production times and increasing the low proteins concentrations obtained with filamentous fungi. In this study, we describe the production of Trichoderma reesei cellobiohydrolase II (CBHII) in a native strain of Wickerhamomyces anomalus. Recombinant CBHII was expressed in W. anomalus 54-A reaching enzyme activity values of up to 14.5 U L−1. The enzyme extract showed optimum pH and temperature of 5.0–6.0 and 40°C, respectively. Enzyme kinetic parameters (KM of 2.73 mM and Vmax of 23.1 µM min−1) were between the ranges of values reported for other CBHII enzymes. Finally, the results showed that an enzymatic extract of W. anomalus 54-A carrying the recombinant T. reesei CBHII allows production of reducing sugars similar to that of a crude extract from cellulolytic fungi. These results show the first report on the use of W. anomalus as a host to produce recombinant proteins. In addition, recombinant T. reesei CBHII enzyme could potentially be used in the degradation of lignocellulosic residues to produce bioethanol, based on its pH and temperature activity profile.

An 8-thionocephalosporin was shown to be a substrate of the beta-lactamase II of Bacillus cereus, a zinc metalloenzyme. Although it is a poorer substrate, as judged by the Kcat./Km parameter, than the corresponding 8-oxocephalosporin, the discrimination against sulphur decreased when the bivalent metal ion in the enzyme active site was varied in the order Mn2+ (the manganese enzyme catalysed the hydrolysis of the oxo compound but not that of the thiono compound), Zn2+, Co2+ and Cd2+. This result is taken as evidence for kinetically significant direct contact between the active-site metal ion of beta-lactamase II and the beta-lactam carbonyl heteroatom. No evidence was obtained, however, for accumulation of an intermediate with such co-ordination present.

1. The velocity of hydrolysis of gelatin by trypsin increases more slowly than the gelatin concentration and finally becomes nearly independent of the gelatin concentration. The relative velocity of hydrolysis of any two substrate concentrations is independent of the quantity of enzyme used to make the comparison. 2. The rate of hydrolysis is independent of the viscosity of the solution. 3. The percentage retardation of the rate of hydrolysis by inhibiting substances, is independent of the substrate concentration. 4. There is experimental evidence that the enzyme and inhibiting substance are combined to form a widely dissociated compound. 5. If the substrate were also combined with the enzyme, an increase in the substrate concentration should affect the equilibrium between the enzyme and the inhibiting substance. This is not the case. 6. The rate of digestion of a mixture of casein and gelatin is equal to the sum of the rates of hydrolysis of the two substances alone, as it should be if the rate is proportional to the concentration of free enzyme. This contradicts the saturation hypothesis. 7. If the reaction is followed by determining directly the change in the substrate concentration, it is found that this change agrees with the law of mass action; i.e., the rate of digestion is proportional to the substrate concentration.

ABSTRACTThe amidohydrolase superfamily has remarkable functional diversity, with considerable structural and functional annotation of known sequences. In microbes, the recent evolution of several members of this family to catalyze the breakdown of environmental xenobiotics is not well understood. An evolutionary transition from binuclear to mononuclear metal ion coordination at the active sites of these enzymes could produce large functional changes such as those observed in nature, but there are few clear examples available to support this hypothesis. To investigate the role of binuclear-mononuclear active-site transitions in the evolution of new function in this superfamily, we have characterized two recently evolved enzymes that catalyze the hydrolysis of the synthetic herbicides molinate (MolA) and phenylurea (PuhB). In this work, the crystal structures, mutagenesis, metal ion analysis, and enzyme kinetics of both MolA and PuhB establish that these enzymes utilize a mononuclear active site. However, bioinformatics and structural comparisons reveal that the closest putative ancestor of these enzymes had a binuclear active site, indicating that a binuclear-mononuclear transition has occurred. These proteins may represent examples of evolution modifying the characteristics of existing catalysts to satisfy new requirements, specifically, metal ion rearrangement leading to large leaps in activity that would not otherwise be possible.

The plot of fractional enzyme activity versus extent of protein modification, for cases where all enzyme modifiable groups of a certain kind are essential for activity, is found to be nearly independent of the number, per enzyme active site, of modifiable groups involved. Such plots usually, by a fallacious extension of the initial portion of the plot on the extent-of-modification axis, are interpreted to mean the modification of one single group per enzyme active site (or per enzyme molecule). The possible relevance of these findings to cases in the literature is discussed.
