Functional Implications of Structure-Based Sequence Alignment of Proteins in the Extracellular Pectate Lyase Superfamily

Abstract: Pels (EC 4.2.2.2) are depolymerizing enzymes that degrade the PGA component of plant cell walls, causing tissue maceration and cell death. The enzymes are normally secreted by phytopathogenic organisms and are the causative agents of virulence in "soft rot" diseases caused by Erwinia sp. (Collmer and Keen, 1986;Kotoujansky, 1987). By sequence analysis, Pels belong to four distinct subfamilies, only two of which appear to be evolutionarily and structurally related. The two related subfamilies, pel-ADE and peZBC… Show more

“…Each oxygen of the carboxylic group of Asp-131 is coordinated to the Ca 2ϩ ion, whereas only one carboxylic oxygen of Asp-129, Glu-166, and Asp-170 is coordinated. Asp-131 is invariant throughout the pectate lyase superfamily (9,37). Asp-129, Glu-166, and Asp-170 are conserved only in the pectate lyase and plant pollen subfamilies.…”

“…Surrounding the Ca 2+ site, two invariant Arg residues (Arg-276 and Arg-281) and a Pro residue (Pro-278), thought to make up the pectate-binding site, are also conserved in Banl7. Homology to bacterial pectate lyases also extends to the Asn ladder, which is involved in the stabilization of the parallel /3-strands and to the highly conserved vWiDH cluster (for review, see Henrissat et al [1995]). These structural motifs are shared by pectate lyases from pollen (Wing et al, 1989;Rogers et al, 1992) and style (Budelier et al, 1990.…”

“…Notably, these regions are the only sequences that are conserved among all Envinia spp. pectate lyases, and recently have been postulated to encompass the Ca 2+ -binding site and the putative active site of the enzyme (Henrissat et al, 1995;Yoder and Jurnak, 1995).…”

“…PL has been extensively studied in pathogenic bacteria, which secreted this enzyme causing depolymerization of pectins in the middle lamella and primary cell walls of higher plants, and consequently the maceration of plant tissues (Henrissat et al, 1995). In bananas, the expression of two distinct PL-like genes (Pel I and Pel II) has been detected during ripening.…”
