&lt;br /&gt;
== Substrate specificities ==&lt;br /&gt;
Family GH79 enzymes are found widely distributed in bacteria and eukaryota including fungi, plants, and animals. The characterized activities of this family include β-glucuronidase (EC [{{EClink}}3.2.1.31 3.2.1.31]) &amp;lt;cite&amp;gt; Eudes2008 &amp;lt;/cite&amp;gt;, β-4-''O''-methyl-glucuronidase (EC 3.2.1.-) &amp;lt;cite&amp;gt;Kuroyama2001&amp;lt;/cite&amp;gt;, baicalin β-glucuronidase (EC [{{EClink}}3.2.1.167 3.2.1.167]) &amp;lt;cite&amp;gt; Sasaki2000 &amp;lt;/cite&amp;gt;, heparanase (EC 3.2.1.166) &amp;lt;cite&amp;gt; Vlodavsky1999 Toyoshima1999 Kussie1999 Hulett1999 Fairbanks1999 &amp;lt;/cite&amp;gt; and hyaluronidase (EC 3.2.1.-) &amp;lt;cite&amp;gt; Nardella2004 &amp;lt;/cite&amp;gt;. GH79s are involved in the metabolism of proteoglycans, such as heparan sulfate proteoglycan, chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan, and hyaluronan from animals and arabinogalactan-proteins from higher plants.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Some β-glucuronidases have been shown to release both glucuronic acid (GlcA) and 4-''O''-methyl-GlcA from arabinogalactan proteins &amp;lt;cite&amp;gt; Kuroyama2001 Konishi2008 &amp;lt;/cite&amp;gt;. The ''Aspergillus niger'' enzyme shows high activity for 4-''O''-methyl-GlcA residues &amp;lt;cite&amp;gt; Kuroyama2001 &amp;lt;/cite&amp;gt;. ''Scutellaria baicalensis'' β-glucuronidase hydrolyzes baicalein 7-''O''-β-glucuronide, which is a major flavone of ''S. baicalensis'' &amp;lt;cite&amp;gt; Sasaki2000 &amp;lt;/cite&amp;gt;. Heparanase is an endo-β-glucuronidase that degrades the heparan sulfate side chains of heparan sulfate proteoglycans. Heparanases are found in mammals such as human, mouse (''Mus musculus''), rat (''Rattus norvegicus''), cattle (''Bos indicus''), and chicken (''Gallus gallus'').&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Kinetics and Mechanism ==&lt;br /&gt;
GH79 β-glucuronidases are retaining enzymes, as first demonstrated by proton-NMR studies of the hydrolysis of p-nitrophenyl β-glucuronide by a β-glucuronidase from ''Acidobacterium capsulatum'' &amp;lt;cite&amp;gt; Michikawa2012 &amp;lt;/cite&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Catalytic Residues ==&lt;br /&gt;
The catalytic residues were first identified in the ''A. capsulatum'' β-glucuronidase as Glu173 (acid/base) and Glu287 (nucleophile) by trapping of the 2-fluoroglucuronyl-enzyme intermediate and site-directed mutagenesis studies &amp;lt;cite&amp;gt; Michikawa2012 &amp;lt;/cite&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Three-dimensional structures ==&lt;br /&gt;
The three-dimensional structure of ''A. capsulatum'' β-glucuronidase solved using X-ray crystallography represented the first structure of an enzyme of GH79 (PDB IDs [{{PDBlink}}3vny 3vny], [{{PDBlink}}3vnz 3vnz], [{{PDBlink}}3vo0 3vo0]) &amp;lt;cite&amp;gt; Michikawa2012 &amp;lt;/cite&amp;gt;. The catalytic domain of the enzyme is a (β/α)8 TIM-barrel fold as members of clan GH-A.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Family Firsts ==&lt;br /&gt;
;First stereochemistry determination: ''Acidobacterium capsulatum'' β-glucuronidase by 1H-NMR &amp;lt;cite&amp;gt; Michikawa2012 &amp;lt;/cite&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
;First catalytic nucleophile identification: ''A. capsulatum'' β-glucuronidase by 2-fluoroglucuroic acid labeling and the mutagenesis study &amp;lt;cite&amp;gt; Michikawa2012 &amp;lt;/cite&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
;First general acid/base residue identification: ''A. capsulatum'' β-glucuronidase by structural identification and the mutagenesis study &amp;lt;cite&amp;gt; Michikawa2012 &amp;lt;/cite&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
;First 3-D structure: ''A. capsulatum'' β-glucuronidase (PDB IDs [{{PDBlink}}3vny 3vny], [{{PDBlink}}3vnz 3vnz], [{{PDBlink}}3vo0 3vo0]) &amp;lt;cite&amp;gt; Michikawa2012 &amp;lt;/cite&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
== Substrate specificities ==&lt;br /&gt;
Family GH79 enzymes are found widely distributed in bacteria and eukaryota including fungi, plants, and animals. The characterized activities of this family include β-glucuronidase (E.C. 3.2.1.31) &amp;lt;cite&amp;gt; Eudes2008 &amp;lt;/cite&amp;gt;, β-4-O-methyl-glucuronidase (E.C. 3.2.1.-) &amp;lt;cite&amp;gt; Kuroyama2001 &amp;lt;/cite&amp;gt;, baicalin β-glucuronidase (E.C. 3.2.1.167) &amp;lt;cite&amp;gt; Sasaki2000 &amp;lt;/cite&amp;gt;, heparanase (E.C. 3.2.1.-) &amp;lt;cite&amp;gt; Vlodavsky1999 Toyoshima1999 Kussie1999 Hulett1999 Fairbanks1999 &amp;lt;/cite&amp;gt; and hyaluronidase (E.C. 3.2.1.-).GH79s are involved in the metabolism of proteoglycans, such as heparan sulfate proteoglycan, chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan, and hyaluronan from animals and arabinogalactan-proteins from higher plants.&lt;br /&gt;
Some β-glucuronidases have been shown to release both glucuronic acid (GlcA) and 4-O-methyl-GlcA from arabinogalactan proteins &amp;lt;cite&amp;gt; Kuroyama2001 Konishi2008 &amp;lt;/cite&amp;gt;. The Aspergillus niger enzyme shows high activity for 4-O-methyl-GlcA residues &amp;lt;cite&amp;gt; Kuroyama2001 &amp;lt;/cite&amp;gt;. Scutellaria baicalensis β-glucuronidase hydrolyzes baicalein 7-O-β-glucuronide, which is a major flavone of S. baicalensis &amp;lt;cite&amp;gt; Sasaki2000 &amp;lt;/cite&amp;gt; Heparanase is an endo-β-glucuronidase that degrades heparan sulfate side chains of heparan sulfate proteoglycans. Heparanases are found in mammals such as human, mouse (Mus musculus), rat (Rattus norvegicus), cattle (Bos indicus), and chicken (Gallus gallus). At present, only one heparanase is found in mammals.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Kinetics and Mechanism ==&lt;br /&gt;
GH79 β-glucuronidases are retaining enzymes, as first demonstrated by proton-NMR studies of the hydrolysis of p-nitrophenyl β-glucuronide by a β-glucuronidase from Acidobacterium capsulatum &amp;lt;cite&amp;gt; Michikawa2012 &amp;lt;/cite&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Catalytic Residues ==&lt;br /&gt;
The catalytic residues were first identified in the A. capsulatum β-glucuronidase as Glu173 (acid/base) and Glu287 (nucleophile) by trapping of the 2-fluoroglucuronyl-enzyme intermediate and the mutagenesis studies &amp;lt;cite&amp;gt; Michikawa2012 &amp;lt;/cite&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

The three-dimensional structure of A. capsulatum β-glucuronidase solved using X-ray crystallography represented the first structure of an enzyme of GH79 &amp;lt;cite&amp;gt; Michikawa2012 &amp;lt;/cite&amp;gt;.
