| Abstract | Trehalose phosphorylase is a component of the alpha-D-glucopyranosyl alpha-D-glucopyranoside (alpha,alpha-trehalose)-degrading enzyme system in fungi and it catalyses glucosyl transfer from alpha,alpha-trehalose to phosphate with net retention of the anomeric configuration. The enzyme active site has no detectable affinity for alpha,alpha-trehalose in the absence of bound phosphate and catalysis occurs from the ternary complex. To examine the role of non-covalent enzyme-substrate interactions for trehalose phosphorylase recognition, we used the purified enzyme from Schizophyllum commune and tested a series of incompetent structural analogues of the natural substrates and products as inhibitors of the enzyme. Equilibrium-binding constants (K(i)) for deoxy- and deoxyfluoro derivatives of D-glucose show that loss of interactions with the 3-, 4- or 6-OH, but not the reactive 1- and the 2-OH, results in considerably (> or =100-fold) weaker affinity for sugar-binding subsite +1, revealing the requirement for hydrogen bonding with hydroxyls, away from the site of chemical transformation to position precisely the D-glucose-leaving group/nucleophile for catalysis. The high specificity of trehalose phosphorylase for the sugar aglycon during binding and conversion of O-glycosides is in contrast with the observed alpha-retaining phosphorolysis of alpha-D-glucose-1-fluoride (alpha-D-Glc-1-F) since the productive bonding capability of the fluoride-leaving group with subsite +1 is minimal. The specificity constant (19 M(-1).s(-1)) and catalytic-centre activity (0.1 s(-1)) for the reaction with alpha-D-Glc-1-F are 0.10- and 0.008-fold the corresponding kinetic parameters for the enzymic reaction with alpha,alpha-trehalose. The non-selective-inhibition profile for a series of inactive alpha-D-glycopyranosyl phosphates shows that the driving force for the binary-complex formation lies mainly in interactions of the enzyme with the phosphate group and suggests that hydrogen bonding with hydroxyl groups at the catalytic site (subsite -1) contributes to catalysis by providing stabilization, which is specific to the transition state. Vanadate, a tight-binding phosphate mimic, inhibits the phosphorolysis of alpha-D-Glc-1-F by forming a ternary complex whose apparent dissociation constant of 120 microM is approx. 160-fold greater than the dissociation constant of the same inhibitor complex with alpha,alpha-trehalose. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
