Despite the large number of putative CBMs being identified by amino acid sequence alignments, only few representatives have been experimentally shown to have a carbohydrate-binding function. Caldicellulosiruptor strain Rt8B.4 Man26 is a thermostable modular glycoside hydrolase beta-mannanase which contains two non-catalytic modules in tandem at its N terminus. These modules were recently shown to function primarily as beta- mannan-binding modules and have accordingly been classified as members of a novel family of CBMs, family 27. The N- terminal CBM27 (CsCBM27-1) of Man26 from Caldicellulosiruptor Rt8B.4 displays high-binding affinity towards mannohexaose with a K-a of 1 x 10(7) M-1. Accordingly, the high-resolution crystal structures of CsCBM27-1 native and its mannohexaose complex were solved at 1.55 Angstrom and 1.06 Angstrom resolution, respectively. In the crystal, CsCBM27-1 shows the typical beta-sandwich jellyroll fold observed in other CBMs with a single metal ion bound, which was identified as calcium. The crystal structures reveal that the overall fold of CsCBM27-1 remains virtually unchanged upon sugar binding and that binding is mediated by three solvent-exposed tryptophan residues and few direct hydrogen bonds. Based on binding affinity and thermal unfolding experiments this structural calcium is shown to play a role in the thermal stability of CsCBM27-1 at high temperatures. The higher binding affinity of CsCBM27-1 to mannooligosaccharides when compared to other members of CBM family 27 might be explained by the different orientation of the residues forming the "aromatic platform" and by differences in the length of loops. Finally, evidence is presented, on the basis of fold similarities and the retention of the position of conserved motifs and a calcium ion, for the consolidation of related CBM families into a superfamily of CBMs. (C) 2004 Elsevier Ltd.

The resulting cyt c electrode was studied using cyclic voltammetry. Compared to pure phosphate buffer, cyt c electrodes exhibited in DMSO-containing solutions lower oxidation and reduction peak currents, which originated from a decrease in the addressable electro-active amount of the surface-immobilized protein. This is associated with the process of protein denaturation. The denaturation kinetics can be described by a sum of two processes with time constants differing by more than one order of magnitude. The subsequent change of the aqueous/organic medium back to a pure aqueous buffer resulted in a shift of the formal potential to its initial value and a partial recovery of the peak current. This can be attributed to the renaturation of the cyt c. The extent of renaturation depended on the organic solvent/water ratio of the mixture used. The kinetics of protein renaturation were similar to those of the denaturation process. (C) 2004 Elsevier B.V.

The N-terminal half of InlB (residues 36-321, InlB(321)), which is sufficient for this process, contains a central leucine-rich repeat (LRR) domain that is flanked by a small a-helical cap 2 and an immunoglobulin (Ig)-like domain. Here we investigated the variant lacking the Ig-like domain (lnlB(248)). The circular dichroism spectra of both protein variants in the far ultraviolet region are very similar, with a characteristic minimum found at similar to200 nm, possibly resulting from the high 3(10)-helical content in the LRR domain. Upon addition of chemical denaturants, both variants unfold in single transitions with unusually high cooperativity that are fully reversible and best described by two-state equilibria. The free energies of GdmCl-induced unfolding determined from transitions at 20degreesC are 9.9(+/- 0.8)kcal/mol for InlB(321) and 5.4(+/- 0.4) kcal/mol for InlB(248). InlB(321) is also more stable against thermal denaturation, as observed by scanning calorimetry. This suggests, that the Ig-like domain, which presumably does not directly interact with the host cell receptor during bacterial invasion, plays a critical role for the in vivo stability of InlB.
