The AoAA13-G3(α1,4)G1(α1,6) structure. (a) The AoAA13-G3(α1,4)G1(α1,6) structure (yellow) and a symmetry-related molecule (white) with the His brace (coloured according to molecule) shown as sticks. The active-site Zn is shown as a sphere (grey). The glucosyl-maltotriose ligand is bound in between the two molecules. (b) The His brace is shown in a native conformation (70% occupancy) and in an alternative conformation (30% occupancy) as modelled in the final structure. The maps shown are 2FoFc (blue) and FoFc (green for positive and red for negative) difference maps from a model with fully occupied His91A only, and are contoured at 1.0σ and ±3.0σ, respectively. As shown, modelling a fully occupied native conformation leads to negative difference map density near the active-site metal and positive difference map density near Phe166. (c) Electron density for glucosyl-maltotriose calculated prior to incorporation of the ligand. The 2Fo − Fc (blue) and FoFc (green) maps are shown at contour levels of 0.7σ and 2.5σ, respectively. (d) Glucosyl-maltotriose interactions with AoAA13 (yellow) and a symmetry-related molecule (white). Principal direct interactions are formed through Gln82, Gln141 and Thr194 to Glc1 and Glc3.
