Substrate specificities
Family 89 glycoside hydrolases are α-N-acetylglucosaminidases [1, 2]. The human lysosomal enzyme, NAGLU, is involved in the degradation of heparan sulfate [3, 4]. Mutations in this enzyme can cause a devastating disease called Sanfilippo syndrome type B which is also called mucopolysaccharidosis IIIB [1, 2, 3, 4]. CpGH89, the animal pathogen Clostridium perfringens is active on the unusual α-D-GlcNAc-(1,4)-D-Galactose motif displayed on the gastric mucosal class III mucins [5].
Kinetics and Mechanism
Mechanistic data is available on CpGH89, a family 89 glycoside hydrolase produced by Clostridium perfringens. CpGH89 uses a classical Koshland retaining mechanism to hydrolyze the glycosidic bond. This results in hydrolysis with a net retention of stereochemistry at the anomeric carbon [1].
Catalytic Residues
Two catalytically important glutamate residues have been identified in CpGH89, Glu483 and Glu601 [1]. These residues are between 6.1-6.7Å apart, which is consistent with a retaining catalytic mechanism. Mutation of Glu601 to an alanine results in an apparent abolishment of activity suggesting this residue is active as the catalytic nucleophile. Glu601 resides below the A-face of the sugar ring and is 2.8-3.1Å from C1 and appears suitably placed for nucleophilic attack on the anomeric carbon. Mutation of Glu483 to alanine results in much less severe impairments in catalysis suggesting this residue is active as the general acid/base residue. Glu483 is ~3.6Å from C1 and appears to be positioned in such a way that it would be capable of forming a hydrogen bond with the glycosidic oxygen of the substrate.
Three-dimensional structures
The three dimensional structure was first described for CpGH89, see PDB entries 2vc9, 2vca, 2vcb,2vcc [1] followed by the structure of the human enzyme NAGLU, 4xwh, which was released in 2019 [6].
CpGH89 is a multi-modular protein and quite large (2095 amino acids). Only residues 26-916 were crystallized [1]. The N-terminal domain (residues 26-155) forms a β-sandwich fold and shares sequence identity to the family 32 carbohydrate-binding modules (CBMs). This module is tightly packed against the rest of the protein through a number of hydrophobic and hydrogen bonding interactions. The catalytic region is comprised of a small mixed α/β domain (residues 170-280), a decorated (α/β)8 core (residues 280-620), and an all α-helical domain (residues 621-916).
NAGLU has only 28.2% sequence identity with CpGH89 and lacks the CBM32. Otherwise the tertiary structures of CpGH89 and NAGLU are similar [6]. The predicted catalytic glutamates, E316 and E446,
