Abstract
Lysozymes are found in many of the sequence-based families of glycoside hydrolases (www.cazy.org)
where they show considerable structural and mechanistic diversity. Lysozymes from glycoside hydrolase
family GH25 adopt a (a/b)5(b)3-barrel-like fold with a proposal in the literature that these enzymes act
with inversion of anomeric configuration; the lack of a suitable substrate, however, means that no group
has successfully demonstrated the configuration of the product. Here we report the 3-D structure of the
GH25 enzyme from Bacillus anthracis at 1.4 Å resolution. We show that the active center is extremely sim-
ilar to those from glycoside hydrolase families GH18, GH20, GH56, GH84, and GH85 implying that, in the
absence of evidence to the contrary, GH25 enzymes also act with net retention of anomeric configuration
using the neighboring-group catalytic mechanism that is common to this ‘super-family’ of enzymes
