Abstract
Glucose isomerase (GI) is an important enzyme that is widely used in industrial applications, such as in the production of high-fructose corn syrup or bioethanol. Studying inhibitor effects on GI is important to deciphering GI-specific molecular functions, as well as potential industrial applications. Analysis of the existing xylitol-bound GI structure revealed low metal occupancy at the M2 site; however, it remains unknown why this phenomenon occurs. This study reports the room-temperature structures of native and xylitol-bound GI from Streptomyces rubiginosus (SruGI) determined by serial millisecond crystallography. The M1 site of native SruGI exhibits distorted octahedral coordination; however, xylitol binding results in the M1 site exhibit geometrically stable octahedral coordination. This change results in the rearrangement of metal-binding residues for the M1 and M2 sites, the latter of which previously displayed distorted metal coordination, resulting in unstable coordination of Mg2+ at the M2 site and possibly explaining the inducement of low metal-binding affinity. These results enhance the understanding of the configuration of the xylitol-bound state of SruGI and provide insights into its future industrial application.
