Crystal structures of Klebsiella pneumoniae pullulanase (KPP) in complex with α-cyclodextrin (α-CD), β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) and γ-cyclodextrin (γ-CD) were refined at around 1.98-2.59 Å resolution from data collected at SPring-8. In the structures of the complexes obtained with 1 mM α-CD or γ-CD, one molecule of CD was found at carbohydrate-binding module 41 only (CBM41). In the structures of the complexes obtained with 1 mM β-CD or with 10 mM α-CD or γ-CD, two molecules of CD were found at CBM41 and in the active-site cleft, where the hydrophobic residue of Phe746 occupies the inside cavity of the CD rings. In contrast to α-CD and γ-CD, one β-CD molecule was found at the active site only in the presence of 0.1 mM β-CD. These results were coincident with the solution experiments, which showed that β-CD inhibits this enzyme more than a thousand times more potently than α-CD and γ-CD. The strong inhibition of β-CD is caused by the optimized interaction between β-CD and the side chain of Phe746. The increased K i values of the F746A mutant for β-CD supported the importance of Phe746 in the strong interaction of pullulanase with β-CD.
