- The cDNA of cellobiose dehydrogenase (CDH) from Phanerochaete chrysosporium has been cloned and sequenced. The 5′ end was obtained by PCR amplification. The cDNA contains 2310 translated bases excluding the poly(A) tail. The deduced mature protein contains 770 amino acid residues and is preceded by a 18 residue long signal peptide. The regions of the amino acid sequence corresponding to the heme and FAD domains of CDH were identified as well as the nucleotide-binding motif, the disulfide pairing and a methionine residue chelating the heme iron. No homologous sequences were found for the heme domain, however, the FAD domain appears to be distantly related to the GMC oxidoreductase family.

- BACKGROUND: Cel6A is one of the two cellobiohydrolases produced by Trichoderma reesei. The catalytic core has a structure that is a variation of the classic TIM barrel. The active site is located inside a tunnel, the roof of which is formed mainly by a pair of loops. RESULTS: We describe three new ligand complexes. One is the structure of the wild-type enzyme in complex with a nonhydrolysable cello-oligosaccharide, methyl 4-S-beta-cellobiosyl-4-thio-beta-cellobioside (Glc)(2)-S-(Glc)(2), which differs from a cellotetraose in the nature of the central glycosidic linkage where a sulphur atom replaces an oxygen atom. The second structure is a mutant, Y169F, in complex with the same ligand, and the third is the wild-type enzyme in complex with m-iodobenzyl beta-D-glucopyranosyl-beta(1,4)-D-xylopyranoside (IBXG). CONCLUSIONS: The (Glc)(2)-S-(Glc)(2) ligand binds in the -2 to +2 sites in both the wild-type and mutant enzymes. The glucosyl unit in the -1 site is distorted from the usual chair conformation in both structures. The IBXG ligand binds in the -2 to +1 sites, with the xylosyl unit in the -1 site where it adopts the energetically favourable chair conformation. The -1 site glucosyl of the (Glc)(2)-S-(Glc)(2) ligand is unable to take on this conformation because of steric clashes with the protein. The crystallographic results show that one of the tunnel-forming loops in Cel6A is sensitive to modifications at the active site, and is able to take on a number of different conformations. One of the conformational changes disrupts a set of interactions at the active site that we propose is an integral part of the reaction mechanism.
