Insights into a water-mediated catalytic triad architecture in CE20 carbohydrate esterases by Michelle Teune, Plínio S. Vieira, Thorben Döhler, Gottfried J. Palm, Theresa Dutschei, Daniel Bartosik, Leona Berndt, Gabriela F. Persinoti, Sandra Maaß, Dörte Becher, Thomas Schweder, Mário T. Murakami, Michael Lammers, Uwe T. Bornscheuer

“…We determined the full-length structures of two members (Fl8CE20_II and PpCE20_II) from the carbohydrate esterase family 20 (CE20) by X-ray crystallography that feature an ancillary domain, inserted into the catalytic SGNH-hydrolase domain. Detailed structural analysis identifies a so far undescribed catalytic triad architecture which lacks the typical aspartate for polarization of the histidine but instead reveals a precisely coordinated water molecule mediating contact between the His and Asp. …”
