&amp;lt;!-- This is the end of the table --&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Substrate specificities ==&lt;br /&gt;
The glycoside hydrolases of this family are endo-β-galactosidases. No other activities have been reported. Family 98 glycoside hydrolases are unique in their specificity towards cleavage of A and B trisaccharides from glycoconjugates &amp;lt;cite&amp;gt; Ashida2005 Higgins2009 Shaikh2009&amp;lt;/cite&amp;gt;. The presence of a L-fucose residue on the substrate is essential for activity of some members of this family (EABase, Sp4GH98) &amp;lt;cite&amp;gt; Ashida2005 Higgins2009 Shaikh2009&amp;lt;/cite&amp;gt;. The crystal structure of Sp3GH98 suggests that the fucose residue is not required as a specificity determinant in this enzyme &amp;lt;cite&amp;gt;Higgins2009&amp;lt;/cite&amp;gt;. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Kinetics and Mechanism ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Family GH98 galactosidases are inverting enzymes, as first shown by NMR monitoring of the Sp4GH98 catalyzed hydrolysis of the LewisY tetrasaccharide &amp;lt;cite&amp;gt;Higgins2009&amp;lt;/cite&amp;gt;. EABase was also shown to act through an inverting enzyme by NMR monitoring of the EABase catalysed hydrolysis of an artificial substrate, DNP-A-trisaccharide &amp;lt;cite&amp;gt;Shaikh2009&amp;lt;/cite&amp;gt;. These results are contrary to the initial predictions made by Rigden &amp;lt;cite&amp;gt;Rigden2005&amp;lt;/cite&amp;gt;. EABase follows normal Michaelis-Menten kinetics &amp;lt;cite&amp;gt;Shaikh2009&amp;lt;/cite&amp;gt;.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Catalytic Residues ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The catalytic base, an aspartate and glutamate diad, and the catalytic acid, glutamate, were identified through the crystal structures of Sp3GH98 and Sp4GH98 in complex with the A trisaccharide and H disaccharide respectively, and confirmed by site-directed mutagenesis &amp;lt;cite&amp;gt;Higgins2009&amp;lt;/cite&amp;gt;. Similar results were obtained through kinetic studies of the corresponding acid and base mutants of EABase with the artificial substrate DNP-A-trisaccharide.  Further biochemical proof for the catalytic acid residue was obtained by comparison between the activity of the acid mutant and the pKa of the leaving group of the substrate &amp;lt;cite&amp;gt;Shaikh2009&amp;lt;/cite&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Three-dimensional structures ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The first crystal structures from family 98 were the Sp3GH98 and Sp4GH98 enzymes from ''S. pneumoniae'' in complex with the A trisaccharide and H disaccharide respectively &amp;lt;cite&amp;gt;Higgins2009&amp;lt;/cite&amp;gt;. Both structures feature a (α/β)&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt; 8&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; barrel in the catalytic domain &amp;lt;cite&amp;gt;Higgins2009&amp;lt;/cite&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;!-- This is the end of the table --&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Substrate specificities ==&lt;br /&gt;
The glycoside hydrolases of this family are endo-β-galactosidases. No other activities have been reported. Family 98 glycoside hydrolases are unique in their specificity towards cleavage of A and B trisaccharides from glycoconjugates &amp;lt;cite&amp;gt; Ashida2005 Higgins2009 Shaikh2009&amp;lt;/cite&amp;gt;. The presence of a L-fucose residue on the substrate is essential for activity of some members of this family (EABase, Sp4GH98) &amp;lt;cite&amp;gt; Ashida2005 Higgins2009 Shaikh2009&amp;lt;/cite&amp;gt;. The crystal structure of Sp3GH98 suggests that the fucose residue is not required as a specificity determinant in this enzyme &amp;lt;cite&amp;gt;Higgins2009&amp;lt;/cite&amp;gt;. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Kinetics and Mechanism ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Family GH98 galactosidases are inverting enzymes, as first shown by NMR monitoring of the Sp4GH98 catalyzed hydrolysis of the LewisY tetrasaccharide &amp;lt;cite&amp;gt;Higgins2009&amp;lt;/cite&amp;gt;. EABase was also shown to act through an inverting enzyme by NMR monitoring of the EABase catalysed hydrolysis of an artificial substrate, DNP-A-trisaccharide &amp;lt;cite&amp;gt;Shaikh2009&amp;lt;/cite&amp;gt;. These results are contrary to the initial predictions made by Rigden &amp;lt;cite&amp;gt;Rigden2005&amp;lt;/cite&amp;gt;. EABase follows normal Michaelis-Menten kinetics &amp;lt;cite&amp;gt;Shaikh2009&amp;lt;/cite&amp;gt;.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Catalytic Residues ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The catalytic base, an aspartate and glutamate diad, and the catalytic acid, glutamate, were identified through the crystal structures of Sp3GH98 and Sp4GH98 in complex with the A trisaccharide and H disaccharide respectively, and confirmed by site-directed mutagenesis &amp;lt;cite&amp;gt;Higgins2009&amp;lt;/cite&amp;gt;. Similar results were obtained through kinetic studies of the corresponding acid and base mutants of EABase with the artificial substrate DNP-A-trisaccharide.  Further biochemical proof for the catalytic acid residue was obtained by comparison between the activity of the acid mutant and the pKa of the leaving group of the substrate &amp;lt;cite&amp;gt;Shaikh2009&amp;lt;/cite&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Three-dimensional structures ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The first crystal structures from family 98 were the Sp3GH98 and Sp4GH98 enzymes from ''S. pneumoniae'' in complex with the A trisaccharide and H disaccharide respectively &amp;lt;cite&amp;gt;Higgins2009&amp;lt;/cite&amp;gt;. Both structures feature a (α/β)&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt; 8&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; barrel in the catalytic domain &amp;lt;cite&amp;gt;Higgins2009&amp;lt;/cite&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Family Firsts ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
;First sterochemistry determination: &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

;First catalytic base identification:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Streptococcus pneumoniae SP3-BS71 endo-b-galactosidase Sp3GH98 &amp;lt;cite&amp;gt;Higgins2009&amp;lt;/cite&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;

Streptococcus pneumoniae TIGR4 endo-b-galactosidase Sp4GH98 &amp;lt;cite&amp;gt;Higgins2009&amp;lt;/cite&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
;First catalytic acid identification: &lt;br /&gt;
Streptococcus pneumoniae SP3-BS71 endo-b-galactosidase Sp3GH98 &amp;lt;cite&amp;gt;Higgins2009&amp;lt;/cite&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Streptococcus pneumoniae TIGR4 endo-b-galactosidase Sp4GH98 &amp;lt;cite&amp;gt;Higgins2009&amp;lt;/cite&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
;First 3-D structure: &lt;br /&gt;
Streptococcus pneumoniae SP3-BS71 endo-b-galactosidase Sp3GH98 &amp;lt;cite&amp;gt;Higgins2009&amp;lt;/cite&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Streptococcus pneumoniae TIGR4 endo-b-galactosidase Sp4GH98 &amp;lt;cite&amp;gt;Higgins2009&amp;lt;/cite&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
