Mutagenesis studies were carried out to examine the effects of replacement of either the nucleophile Glu-236 or the acid/base Glu-128 residue of the F/10 xylanase by a His residue. To our surprise, the affinity for the p-nitrophenyl-beta-D-xylobioside substrate was increased by 10(3)-fold in the case of the mutant E128H enzyme compared with that of the wild-type F/10 xylanase. The catalytic activity of the mutant enzymes was low, despite the fact that the distance between the nucleophilic atom (an oxygen in the native xylanase and a nitrogen in the mutant) and the alpha-carbon was barely changed. Thus, the alteration of the acid/base functionality (Glu-128 to His mutation) provided a significantly favorable interaction within the E128H enzyme/substrate complex in the ground state, accompanying a reduction in the stabilization effect in the transition state.
