Prediction of the Tertiary Structure of α-Glycosidase from Aspergillus niger by Homology Modeling
Abstract:
α-Glucosidases play critical role both in primary metabolism and in glycoconjugate biosynthesis and processing. In this paper, the reasonable three-dimensional molecular model of AglA was generated by homology modeling. This modeled protein is divided into five major structural domains, and the catalytic domain is classical (β/α) 8 barrel with the active site pocket positioned at its C-terminal side. With analyses of conserved residues and overlay of homology structures, the residues Tyr 662, Tyr527, Glu521, His238 and Tyr235 was predicted as the main substrate binding sites, and residues Asp490, Glu493 and Asp660 were deduced to be the acid/base catalytic residues.
