Plant α‐glucan phosphatases SEX4 and LSF2 display different affinity for amylopectin and amylose

The plant glucan phosphatases Starch EXcess 4 (SEX4) and Like Sex Four2 (LSF2) apply different starch binding mechanisms. SEX4 contains a carbohydrate binding module, and LSF2 has two surface binding sites (SBSs). We determined KDapp for amylopectin and amylose, and KD for β‐cyclodextrin and validat...

Description
Summary:The plant glucan phosphatases Starch EXcess 4 (SEX4) and Like Sex Four2 (LSF2) apply different starch binding mechanisms. SEX4 contains a carbohydrate binding module, and LSF2 has two surface binding sites (SBSs). We determined KDapp for amylopectin and amylose, and KD for β‐cyclodextrin and validated binding site mutants deploying affinity gel electrophoresis (AGE) and surface plasmon resonance. SEX4 has a higher affinity for amylopectin; LSF2 prefers amylose and β‐cyclodextrin. SEX4 has 50‐fold lower KDapp for amylopectin compared to LSF2. Molecular dynamics simulations and AGE data both support long‐distance mutual effects of binding at SBSs and the active site in LSF2.
