Mechanism of the glucuronoyl esterase OtCE15A: an alpha/beta hydrolase involved with biomass conversion
Poster (konferens), 2022

Glucuronoyl esterases are α/β serine hydrolases from Carbohydrate Esterase family 15 (CE15) which cleave an ester linkage that connects lignin to glucuronyl xylan, an important linkage contributing to biomass recalcitrance. Presented here is our recent work on probing the enzyme-substrate interactions of a model glucuronoyl esterase, OtCE15A from the soil bacterium Opitutus terrae, through combined structural, kinetic, and QM/MM investigations. These new investigations greatly add to the knowledge of enzyme-substrate interactions in CE15 and enhances our understanding as to how these enzymes may act in natural conditions, which could aid in industrial biomass conversion technologies.
