Sucrase-isomaltase (SI) is an intestinal membrane-associated α-glucosidase that breaks down di- and oligosaccharides to absorbable monosaccharides. SI has two homologous functional subunits (sucrase and isomaltase) that both belong to the glycoside hydrolase family 31 (GH31) and differ in substrate specificity. All GH31 enzymes share a consensus sequence harboring an aspartic acid residue as a catalytic nucleophile. Moreover, crystallographic structural analysis of isomaltase predicts that another aspartic acid residue functions as a proton donor in hydrolysis. Here, we mutagenized the predicted proton donor residues and the nucleophilic catalyst residues in each SI subunit. We expressed these SI variants in COS-1 cells and analyzed their structural, transport, and functional characteristics. All of the mutants revealed expression levels and maturation rates comparable to those of the wild type species and the corresponding non-mutated subunits were functionally active. Thereby we determined rate and substrate specificity for each single subunit without influence from the other subunit. This approach provides a model for functional analysis of the single subunits within a multi-domain protein, achieved without the necessity to express the individual subunits separately. Of note, we also found that glucose product inhibition regulates the activities of both SI subunits. We experimentally confirmed the catalytic function of the predicted proton donor residues, and sequence analysis suggested that these residues are located in a consensus region in many GH31 family members. In summary, these findings reveal the kinetic features specific for each human SI subunit and demonstrate that the activities of these subunits are regulated via product inhibition.
