Xylanases are the enzymes that breakdown complex plant cell wall polysaccharide xylan into xylose by hydrolysing the β-(1→4) glycosidic linkage between xylosides. They mainly belong to the families GH10 and GH11 of the glycoside hydrolase claβs of enzymes. GH10 xylanases have (α/β)8-barrel type of fold whereas GH11 xylanases have β-jelly roll type of fold. Both enzymes have several substrate binding subsites. This study analysed in detail the sequence and structural conservation of subsites residues by examining their 3D structures crystallized with homoxylan or its non-hydrolysable form as substrate. A total of 19 structures from GH10 and 6 structures from GH11 were analysed. It was found that in GH10 the subsites -3 to -1 consisted of conserved residues, whereas in GH11 subsites -1, -3 and +1 were found to be conserved. The substrate and subsite interaction analysed based on the presence of h-bonds and CH-π interactions showed that Face-to-Face or Edge-to-Face CH-π interactions are formed in the subsites of GH10, whereas such specific CH-π interactions were no at all observed in case of GH11 xylanases. The spatial conservation of subsite residues was also analysed using a distance matrix based approach. It was found that in GH10 xylanases conserved residues have conserved spatial position of those residues as opposed to GH11 enzymes where in subsites -2 and +2 conserved residues showed non-conservation in their spatial positions. The results presented in this study can be used in discovering new xylanases and in the engineering highly efficient xylanases.
