Abstract:	alpha-Galactosidase catalyzes the hydrolysis of a terminal alpha-galactose residue in galacto-oligosaccharides and has potential in various industrial applications and food processing. We determined the crystal structures of alpha-galactosidase from the thermophilic microorganism Thermus thermophilus (TtGalA) and its complexes with pNPGaI and stachyose. The monomer folds into an Nterminal domain, a catalytic (beta/alpha)(8) barrel domain, and a C-terminal domain. The domain organization is similar to that of the other family of 36 alpha-galactosidases, but TtGalA presents a cagelike hexamer. Structural analysis shows that oligomerization may be a key factor for the thermal adaption of TtGalA. The structure of TtGaIA complexed with stachyose reveals only the existence of one -1 subsite and one +1 subsite in the active site. Structural comparison of the stachyose-bound complexes of TtGalA and GsAgaA, a tetrameric enzyme with four subsites, suggests evolutionary divergence of substrate specificity within the GH36 family of alpha-galactosidases. To the best of our knowledge, the crystal structure of TtGaIA is the first report of a quaternary structure as a hexameric assembly in the a-galactosidase family.
