The crystal structure of BSH reported here from Bifidobacterium longum reveals that it is a member of N-terminal nucleophil hydrolase structural superfamily possessing the characteristic alpha beta beta alpha tetra-lamellar tertiary structure arrangement. Site-directed mutagenesis of the catalytic nucleophil residue, however, shows that it has no role in zymogen processing into its corresponding active form. Substrate specificity was studied using Michaelis-Menten and inhibition kinetics and fluorescence spectroscopy. These data were compared with the specificity profile of BSH from Clostridium perfrigens and pencillin V acylase from Bacillus sphaericus, for both of which the three-dimensional structures are available. Comparative analysis shows a gradation in activity toward common substrates, throwing light on a possible common route toward the evolution of pencillin V acylase and BSH.</p>1 aKumar, Suresh1 aBrannigan, James, A.1 aPrabhune, Asmita1 aPundle, Archana, V.1 aDodson, Guy, G.1 aDodson, Eleanor, J.1 aSuresh, C., G.  uhttps://library.ncl.res.in/content/structural-and-functional-analysis-conjugated-bile-salt-hydrolase-bifidobacterium-longum-0
