== Substrate specificities ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Glycoside hydrolase]] family 123 contains β-''N''-acetylgalactosaminidases (EC [{{EClink}}3.2.1.53 3.2.1.53]), which degrade glycosphingolipids. These enzymes hydrolyze the non-reducing terminal β-GalNAc linkage, but not β-GlcNAc linkages. β-''N''-Acetylgalactosaminidases (EC [{{EClink}}3.2.1.53 3.2.1.53]) are distinguished from β-hexosaminidases (EC [{{EClink}}3.2.1.52 3.2.1.52]) or β-''N''-acetylglucosaminidases (EC [{{EClink}}3.2.1.52 3.2.1.52]) because β-''N''-acetylgalactosaminidases are specific to β-GalNAc linkage while β-''N''-acetylglucosaminidases are specific to β-GlcNAc linkage; β-hexosaminidases hydrolyze both β-GlcNAc and β-GalNAc linkages at a non-reducing terminus. NgaP, ''N''-acetylgalactosaminidase from ''Paenibacillus'' sp., is the founding member of this family &amp;lt;cite&amp;gt;SumidaJBC2011&amp;lt;/cite&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
The recombinant NgaP hydrolyzes ''p''NP-β-GalNAc but not ''p''NP-β-GlcNAc, ''p''NP-β-Gal, ''p''NP-α-GalNAc or other ''p''NP-glycosides, indicating that NgaP is a highly specific β-''N''-acetylgalactosaminidase.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Kinetics and Mechanism ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Glycoside hydrolases]] belonging to families [[GH18]], [[GH20]], [[GH56]], [[GH84]] and [[GH85]] are [[retaining]] enzymes that cleave sugar residues containing C2-acetamide group such as β-GlcNAc and β-GalNAc through a mechanism in which the 2-acetamido group of the substrate assists catalysis ([[neighboring group participation]]). GalNAc-thiazoline, a structural analog of the oxazolinium intermediate of [[neighboring group participation]], is a potent competitive inhibitor of NgaP &amp;lt;cite&amp;gt;SumidaJBC2011&amp;lt;/cite&amp;gt;. The stereochemical outcome of substrate hydrolysis catalyzed by GH123 enzymes has not been determined. However, NgaP was proposed to be a retaining enzyme and to use substrate-assisted catalysis &amp;lt;cite&amp;gt;SumidaJBC2011&amp;lt;/cite&amp;gt;, based on its inhibition by GalNAc-thiazoline. A comparison of secondary structure of NgaP with that of other enzymes that utilize substrate-assisted catalysis suggested that Glu608 and Asp607 of NgaP functions as a [[general acid/base]] and a stabilizer of the 2-acetamide group of the β-GalNAc at the transition state, respectively. Point mutation analysis confirmed that Glu608 and Asp607 are integral for the activity of NgaP.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Catalytic Residues ==&lt;br /&gt;
Point mutation analysis suggested that Glu608 and Asp607 of NagP function as [[general acid/base]] and a transition state stabilizer of the 2-acetamido group &amp;lt;cite&amp;gt;SumidaJBC2011&amp;lt;/cite&amp;gt;. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Three-dimensional structures ==&lt;br /&gt;
CpNga123 from ''Clostridium perfringens'' &amp;lt;cite&amp;gt;Noach2016&amp;lt;/cite&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2016, the crystal structures of GH123 from ''Clostridium perfringens'' (CpNga123) are determined &amp;lt;cite&amp;gt;Noach2016&amp;lt;/cite&amp;gt;. CpNga123 was proved to have the activity of β-''N''-acetylgalactosaminidase. CpNga123 hydrolyzed β-GalNAc at the non-reducing end terminus but not hydrolyzed β-GlcNAc. This indicates that CpNga123 is not a β-''N''-acetylhexosaminidase but a β-''N''-acetylgalactosaminidase (EC 3.2.1.53). The crystal structures of CpNga123 (apo form and complex forms with β-GalNAc, GalNAc-F2, GA2 trisaccharide and Gb4 disaccharide) were determined. CpNga123 has a catalytic (β/α)&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;8&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;-barrel domain and an N-terminal β-sandwich domain. It was also revealed that a structural change of the active site was essential for forming interactions to the substrate and the substrate-assisted catalytic mechanism. Furthermore, the difference of the hydrolysis activity of the enzyme toward GA2 and Gb4 glycosphingolipids was explained by the structural difference of the complex structures.&lt;br /&gt;
== Family Firsts ==&lt;br /&gt;
;First stereochemistry determination: None reported.&lt;br /&gt;
;First catalytic nucleophile identification: Unknown. It has been proposed that the carbonyl oxygen of the C-2 acetamide group of the substrate behaves as a nucleophile &amp;lt;cite&amp;gt;SumidaJBC2011&amp;lt;/cite&amp;gt;.    &lt;br /&gt;
;First general acid/base residue identification: Site-directed mutagenesis indicated that Glu608 is an essential amino acid for the catalytic reaction in NgaP &amp;lt;cite&amp;gt;SumidaJBC2011&amp;lt;/cite&amp;gt;.    &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Tomomi Sumida obtained her Ph.D. from [http://www.agr.kyushu-u.ac.jp/english/ the Department of Bioscience and Biotechnology, Graduate School of Bioresource and Bioenvironmental Sciences, Kyusyu University], under the supervision of Professor Makoto Ito in 2010. She isolated the ganglioside–degrading bacterium ''Paenibacillus'' sp. strain TS12 from land soil in her doctoral research &amp;lt;cite&amp;gt;SumidaAEM2002&amp;lt;/cite&amp;gt;. Strain TS12 produces a series of glycosphingolipid-degrading enzymes, such as sialidase, β-galactosidase, β-hexosaminidase, β-''N''-acetylgalactosaminidase, and β-glucocerebrosidase. She has reported the molecular cloning, characterization, and structural analysis of these novel glycosphingolipid-degrading enzymes, as follows:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* [[GH3]] β-glucocerebrosidase (Glc4) from ''Paenibacillus'' sp. TS12 &amp;lt;cite&amp;gt;SumidaJB2002&amp;lt;/cite&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
* [[GH20]] β-hexosaminidase (Hex1) from ''Paenibacillus'' sp. TS12 &amp;lt;cite&amp;gt;SumidaJMB2009 SumidaOBC2012&amp;lt;/cite&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
* [[GH123]] β-''N''-acetylgalactosaminidase (NgaP) from ''Paenibacillus'' sp. TS12 &amp;lt;cite&amp;gt;SumidaJBC2011&amp;lt;/cite&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
NgaP, which specifically hydrolyzes the non-reducing terminal β-GalNAc linkage but not β-GlcNAc linkage, is the first β-''N''-acetylgalactosaminidase (EC 3.2.1.53) to have its primary structure elucidated. Since the primary structure of NgaP is totally new, [http://www.cazy.org/GH123.html GH123] was created as a new family of β-''N''-acetylgalactosaminidases in 2011.&lt;br /&gt;

== Substrate specificities ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The [[glycoside hydrolases]] family 123 contains β-''N''-acetylgalactosaminidases (EC [{{EClink}}3.2.1.53 3.2.1.53]). These enzymes specifically hydrolyze the non-reducing terminal β-GalNAc linkage, but not β-GlcNAc linkage. The β-''N''-acetylgalactosaminidase (EC [{{EClink}}3.2.1.53 3.2.1.53]) is distinguished from β-hexosaminidase (EC [{{EClink}}3.2.1.52 3.2.1.52]) or β-''N''-acetylglucosaminidase (EC [{{EClink}}3.2.1.52 3.2.1.52]). Because the β-''N''-acetylgalactosaminidase is specific to β-GalNAc linkage while β-''N''-acetylglucosaminidase is specific to β-GlcNAc linkage. β-Hexosaminidase hydrolyzes both β-GlcNAc and β-GalNAc linkages at non-reducing terminal. NgaP, ''N''-acetylgalactosaminidase from ''Paenibacillus'' sp., is the first cloned β-''N''-acetylgalactosaminidase and its primary structure is not similar to any glycohydrolases reported so far &amp;lt;cite&amp;gt;SumidaJBC2011&amp;lt;/cite&amp;gt;, and, thus, this family is created.&lt;br /&gt;
The recombinant NgaP hydrolyzes ''p''NP-β-GalNAc but not ''p''NP-β-GlcNAc, ''p''NP-β-Gal, ''p''NP-α-GalNAc or other ''p''NP-glycosides, indicating that NgaP is a typical β-''N''-acetylgalactosaminidase. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Kinetics and Mechanism ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Glycoside hydrolases]] belonging to [[GH18]], [[GH20]] and [[GH85]] cleave the sugar residues containing C2-acetamide group such as β-GlcNAc and β-GalNAc through substrate-assisted catalysis involving [[neighboring group participation]]. Since NgaP hydrolyzes the β-GalNAc linkage, NgaP is proposed to use substrate-assisted catalysis. A comparison of secondary structure of NgaP with that of other enzymes that utilize substrate-assisted catalysis suggested that Glu608 of NgaP functions as a proton donor. Point mutation analysis confirmed that Glu608 is integral for the activity of NgaP. GalNAc-thiazoline, a structural analog of the oxazolinium intermediate of [[neighboring group participation]], was found to competitively inhibit the activity of NgaP. These results indicate that NgaP hydrolyzes the terminal β-GalNAc linkage through substrate-assisted catalysis.&lt;br /&gt;

Tomomi Sumida obtained her Ph.D. from [http://www.agr.kyushu-u.ac.jp/english/ the Department of Bioscience and Biotechnology, Graduate School of Bioresource and Bioenvironmental Sciences, Kyusyu University], under the supervision of Professor Makoto Ito in 2010. She isolated the ganglioside–degrading bacterium ''Paenibacillus'' sp. strain TS12 from land soil in her doctoral research &amp;lt;cite&amp;gt;SumidaAEM2002&amp;lt;/cite&amp;gt;. Strain TS12 produces a series of glycosphingolipid-degrading enzymes, such as sialidase, β-galactosidase, β-hexosaminidase, β-''N''-acetylgalactosaminidase, and β-glucocerebrosidase. She has reported the molecular cloning, characterization, and structural analysis of these novel glycosphingolipid-degrading enzymes, as follows:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
・[[GH3]] β-glucocerebrosidase (Glc4) from ''Paenibacillus'' sp. TS12 &amp;lt;cite&amp;gt;SumidaJB2002&amp;lt;/cite&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
・[[GH20]] β-hexosaminidase (Hex1) from ''Paenibacillus'' sp. TS12 &amp;lt;cite&amp;gt;SumidaJMB2009&amp;lt;/cite&amp;gt;&amp;lt;cite&amp;gt;SumidaOBC2012&amp;lt;/cite&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
・[[GH123]] β-''N''-acetylgalactosaminidase (NgaP) from ''Paenibacillus'' sp. TS12 &amp;lt;cite&amp;gt;SumidaJBC2011&amp;lt;/cite&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
NgaP, which specifically hydrolyzes the non-reducing terminal β-GalNAc linkage but not β-GlcNAc linkage, is the first β-''N''-acetylgalactosaminidase (EC 3.2.1.53) to have its primary structure elucidated. Since the primary structure of NgaP is totally new, class [http://www.cazy.org/GH123.html GH123] was created as a new family of β-''N''-acetylgalactosaminidase in 2011.&lt;br /&gt;
