Catalytic versatility of Bacillus pumilus .beta.-xylosidase: glycosyl transfer and hydrolysis promoted with .alpha.- and .beta.-D-xylosyl fluoride

Abstract: Bacillus pumilus beta-xylosidase, an enzyme considered restricted to hydrolyzing a narrow range of beta-D-xylosidic substrates with inversion of configuration, was found to catalyze different stereochemical, essentially irreversible, glycosylation reactions with alpha- and beta-D-xylopyranosyl fluoride. The enzyme promoted the hydrolysis of beta-D-xylopyranosyl fluoride at a high rate, V = 6.25 mumol min-1 mg-1 at 0 degrees C, in a reaction that obeyed Michaelis-Menten kinetics. In contrast, its action upon al… Show more

“…Kasumi et al have explained that it requires the reversal of the roles of catalytic groups to continue the reaction of transglycosylation and hydrolysis of 4--xylobiose (or 4--xylobiosyl fluoride) by -xylosidase, and that reaction A occurs beyond the requirement of the principle of microscopic reversibility. 66) This description intimates an important consideration that the concerted reaction mechanism may be in conflict with the principle. However, if the disposition of functional groups reverts Reactions I and II are the hydrolytic and synthesis reactions, respectively.…”

“…The same concerted mechanism has been applied to several inverting enzymes, including glucoamylase 62) and glucodextranase, 62) trehalase, 64,65) and -xylosidase. 66) As an example of the reaction for the concerted mechanism, the hydrolytic and synthesis reactions of ,-trehalose by trehalase particularly taken from among the abovementioned inverting glycosidases are shown Fig. 9.…”

“…A number of detailed studies on the mechanism of p-xylosidases have been made in the past and two types of mechanisms have been found: inverting for a Bacillus pumilus /?-xylosidase (Kersters-Hilderson et al, 1976;Kasumi et al, 1987). and retaining with high transglycosylating activity for a Penicilliurn wortmanni enzyme (Deleyn et al, 1985).…”
