Pc1,3Gal43A WT and its mutants at residues involved in substrate recognition are expected to be useful tools for structural analysis of AGPs. Some of the residues involved in ligand recognition differ from those of galactomannan-binding CBM35, including substitution of Trp for Gly, which affects pyranose stacking, and substitution of Asn for Asp in the lower part of the binding pocket. Furthermore, the galactan-binding domain in CBM35 has a different ligand interaction mechanism from other sugar-binding CBM35s. Subsite -1 contains a space that can accommodate the C-6 methylol of Gal, enabling the enzyme to bypass the β-1,6-linked galactan side chains of AGPs. Pc1,3Gal43A has three subsites that continue from the bottom of the catalytic pocket to the solvent. Crystal structure and kinetic analyses indicated that the tautomerized imidic acid function of Gln263 serves instead as the catalytic base residue. GH43_sub24 lacks the catalytic base Asp that is conserved among other GH43 subfamilies. It is composed of a glycoside hydrolase family 43 subfamily 24 (GH43_sub24) catalytic domain together with a carbohydrate-binding module family (CBM) 35 binding domain. In this study, we solved the apo and liganded structures of exo-β-1,3-galactanase from the basidiomycete Phanerochaete chrysosporium ( Pc1,3Gal43A), which specifically cleaves AGPs. Arabinogalactan proteins (AGPs) are functional plant proteoglycans, but their functions are largely unexplored, mainly because of the complexity of the sugar moieties, which are generally analyzed with the aid of glycoside hydrolases.
