Popis: AmyP is a raw-starch-degrading α-amylase newly identified from a marine metagenome library. It shares low sequence similarity with characterized glycoside hydrolases and was classified into a new subfamily of GH13. In particular, it showed preferential degradation to raw rice starch. Full-length AmyP was cloned and overexpressed in Escherichia coli, then purified and crystallized in the presence of its substrate analogue β-cyclodextrin. X-ray diffraction data were collected to a resolution of 2.1 A. The crystal belonged to space group P21212, with unit-cell parameters a = 129.824, b = 215.534, c = 79.699 A, α = β = γ = 90°, and was estimated to contain two molecules in one asymmetric unit.
