Popis: CPF_2247 from Clostridium perfringens ATCC 13124 was identified as a putative carbohydrate-active enzyme by its low sequence identity to endo-β-1,4-glucanases belonging to family 8 of the glycoside hydrolase classification. The X-ray crystal structure of CPF_2247 determined to 2.0 A resolution by single-wavelength anomalous dispersion using seleno-methionine-substituted protein revealed an (α/α)6 barrel fold. A large cleft on the surface of the protein contains residues that are structurally conserved with key elements of the catalytic machinery in clan GH-M glycoside hydrolases. Assessment of CPF_2247 as a carbohydrate-active enzyme disclosed α-glucanase activity on amylose, glycogen, and malto-oligosaccharides. Proteins 2011;. © 2011 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
