Substrate specificities

The glycoside hydrolases of this family are exo-acting α-fucosidases from archaeal, bacterial and eukaryotic origin. No other activities have been observed for GH29 family members. So fare the only other CAZY family containing α-fucosidases is family GH95. The human enzyme FucA1 is of medical interest because its deficiency leads to fucosidosis, an autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disease [1].

GH29 α-fucosidases are retaining enzymes following a classical Koshland double-displacement mechanism, as first proposed in 1987 for human liver α-fucosidase via burst kinetics experiments and using methanol as an alternative glycone acceptor to produce methyl-α-L-fucoside (White et al, Biochim. Biophys. Acta 912, 132–138, PMID: 3828350). This has been further confirmed by 1H NMR monitoring of the reaction catalyzed by α-L-fucosidase from Thermus sp. (Eneyskaya et al. Glycoconj. J. 18, 827–834 PMID: 12441672) and α-L-fucosidase from the marine mollusc Pecten maximus (Berteau et al., Glycobiology 12, 273–282 PMID: 12042250), as well as by COSY and 1H-13C NMR spectroscopy analysis of the interglycosidic linkage of disaccharides formed by the transglycosylation action of Sulfolobus solfataricus α-L-fucosidase (PMID: 12569098). GH95 α-fucosidases, in contrast, operate with inversion of the anomeric configuration.
