Target Audience
• Students enrolled in Principles of Biology I (BI 107) and II (BI 108)
• Human salivary amylase: used in one of our lab modules, so students are familiar with this enzyme and its function
![Page 3: Diversity in the Structure and Function of Amylase](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062814/568166d5550346895ddaea57/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Background
• Alpha amylase: http://www.rcsb.org/pdb/101/motm.do?momID=74
• Alpha-amylase: begins starch breakdown– Starch chains broken into two or three glucose units– Most organisms synthesize amylase
![Page 4: Diversity in the Structure and Function of Amylase](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062814/568166d5550346895ddaea57/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Overview • Phylogenetic trees• https://
sites.google.com/site/plasmodiumproblem/intro/about-phlyogenetic-trees
• Blast• Protein sequence, amino acids• Protein structure, 3-D and secondary
structural elements.

Big Picture: Concepts
• Evolutionary relationships between organisms in a molecular scale
• Correlation between Structure and Function– Focus: modifications, if any, in amylase across
organisms with unique lifestyles

Question # 1
• What is the phylogenetic relationship between representative organisms from the three domains, in terms of evolution of amylase?

Phylogeny based on Amylase

Discussion
• Give a general set of observations on the tree.
• What clusters with the human sequences?• Identify mono-phyletic groups within the
tree.• Why possibly the archaean species are
isolated in the tree?
![Page 12: Diversity in the Structure and Function of Amylase](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062814/568166d5550346895ddaea57/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Question 2• What is the percent similarity in structure of
amylase based on the phylogenetic tree?• How does the sequence identity of the sequences
match the clustering in the phylogenetic tree?• Blast for percent sequence identity and percent
sequence similarity.• This will help students to quantitatively connect
the information from phylogenetic tree to secondary structure/sequence

Question # 3• Are the amino acid sequences (hence the
structure) different across organisms?• Where are the conserved regions in the
molecular structure? • Do they relate to the secondary structural
elements?
![Page 15: Diversity in the Structure and Function of Amylase](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062814/568166d5550346895ddaea57/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Conserved Sequences
Regions of the alignment that are highly conserved are highlighted in green and blue. The same sequences are colored on the 3-dimensional structure in Chimera.

Discussion• What sections of the structure are colored
green?• What sections of the structure are colored
blue?• Why are the sequence of these regions
conserved?• What other regions do you think will be
conserved?

Question # 4
• Note that 4 or more conserved residues in a row highlight a critical region of the protein structure.
• The active site residues are in these regions.

Discussions
• What are the critical active site residues?• Are they present in all of the structures
from different species?
• Which structures have glucose or another starch bound?
• Do the different species bind the starch differently?
![Page 24: Diversity in the Structure and Function of Amylase](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062814/568166d5550346895ddaea57/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Future plans• Study the binding of other molecules in the
active site including inhibitors.• Study substrate analogs.• Role of mutations in modifying the structure
and function of amylase.
