β-1,3-Glucan synthases play key roles in glucan synthesis, cell wall assembly, and growth of fungi. However, their multi-transmembrane domains (over 14 TMHs) and large molecular masses (over 100 kDa) significantly hamper understanding of their catalytic characteristics and mechanisms. In the present study, the 5841-bp gene CMGLS encoding the 221.7 kDa membrane-bound β-1,3-glucan synthase CMGLS in Cordyceps militaris was cloned, identified, and structurally analyzed. CMGLS was partially purified with a specific activity of 87.72 pmol/min/μg, a purification fold of 121, and a yield of 10.16% using a product-entrapment purification method. CMGLS showed a strict specificity to UDP-glucose with a Km value of 84.28 μM at pH 7.0 and synthesized β-1,3-glucan with a maximum degree of polymerization (DP) of 70. With the assistance of AlphaFold and molecular docking, the 3D structure of CMGLS and its binding features with substrate UDP-glucose were proposed for the first time to our knowledge. UDP-glucose potentially bound to at least 11 residues via hydrogen bonds, π-stacking ,and salt bridges, and Arg 1436 was predicted as a key residue directly interacting with the moieties of glucose, phosphate, and the ribose ring on UDP-glucose. These findings would open an avenue to recognize and understand the glucan synthesis process and catalytic mechanism of β-1,3-glucan synthases in mushrooms.

北冬虫夏草β-1,3-葡聚糖合酶CMGLS的功能表征和结构基础

β-1,3-葡聚糖合酶在葡聚糖合成、细胞壁组装和真菌生长中起关键作用。然而,它们的多跨膜结构域(超过 14 个 TMH)和大分子量(超过 100 kDa)显着阻碍了对其催化特性和机制的理解。在本研究中,克隆、鉴定和分析了北虫草中编码 221.7 kDa 膜结合 β-1,3-葡聚糖合酶 CMGLS的 5841-bp 基因CMGLS 。CMGLS部分纯化,比活为87.72 pmol/min/μg,纯化倍数为121,采用产物包埋法纯化,收率为10.16%。CMGLS 对 UDP-葡萄糖具有严格的特异性,K m在 pH 7.0 时的值为 84.28 μM,并合成了最大聚合度 (DP) 为 70 的 β-1,3-葡聚糖。在 AlphaFold 和分子对接的帮助下,CMGLS 的 3D 结构及其与底物 UDP- 的结合特征据我们所知,葡萄糖首次被提出。UDP-葡萄糖可能通过氢键、π-堆积和盐桥与至少 11 个残基结合,Arg 1436 被预测为直接与 UDP-葡萄糖上的葡萄糖、磷酸盐和核糖环部分相互作用的关键残基。这些发现将为认识和了解蘑菇中β-1,3-葡聚糖合酶的葡聚糖合成过程和催化机制开辟一条途径。
