CBM94 was established in 2022 after the structural and functional characterization of the C-terminal domains of human ''N''-acetylglucosaminyltransferase IVa (GnT-IVa, MGAT4A; [[GT54]]; EC [{{EClink}}2.4.1.145 2.4.1.145], Fig. 1) and an ortholog from lepidopteran insect ''Bombyx mori'' (silkworm) <cite>Oka2022</cite>.

Ligand specificities
CBM94 was established in 2022 after the structural and functional characterization of the C-terminal domains of human N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase IVa (GnT-IVa, MGAT4A; GT54; EC 2.4.1.145, Fig. 1) and an ortholog from lepidopteran insect Bombyx mori (silkworm) [1]. The CBM94 proteins from human and B. mori showed affinity toward N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc), N,N’-diacetylchitobiose, and p-nitrophenyl β-N-acetylglucosaminide with Ka values of 242–1,970 M−1. No affinity was detected for other monosaccharides, including glucose, mannose, galactose, L-fucose, and N-acetylgalactosamine, some of which are components of matured N-glycans [1]. Nagae et al. demonstrated that the C-terminal domain of mouse GnT-IVa has binding ability for GlcNAc and GlcNAc-β-(1→2)-Man using NMR titration analysis [2]. Furthermore, comprehensive frontal affinity chromatography analysis using 157 glycans showed that mouse CBM94 has affinity for N-glycans with β-(1→2) and β-(1→4)-linked GlcNAc at the non-reducing ends. On the other hand, it showed lower affinity for N-glycan with only β-(1→2)-linked GlcNAc, which is the substrate of GnT-IV [2]. Therefore, GnT-IVa CBM94 prefers product N-glycans to substrate N-glycans (Fig. 1).
Structural Features
CBM94 domains of GnT-IV enzymes comprise of around 150 amino acid residues. The crystal structures of the CBM94 domains in human and mouse GnT-IVa and B. mori ortholog were determined at 1.97, 1.95, and 1.47 Å resolution (PDB ID 7XTL, 7VMT, and 7XTM), respectively. The mammalian CBM94 proteins adopt β-sandwich fold comprising nine β-strands and three short α-helices, while B. mori CBM94 has a similar fold but lacks one α-helix (Fig. 2). They are structurally homologous to CBM32 proteins, such as a GlcNAc-binding CBM32 domain (NagHCBM32-2) of Clostridium perfringens GH84 β-N-acetylglucosaminidase NagH [3]. The 1.15-Å resolution structure of B. mori CBM94 in complex with β-GlcNAc (PDB ID 7XTN) indicates that Tyr429, Trp445, Asp480, and Trp535 contribute to GlcNAc binding (Fig. 3). These residues are completely conserved among NagHCBM32-2 and CBM94 domains in mammalian GnT-IV isozymes (GnT-IVa, GnT-IVb, and GnT-IVc) except that Tyr429 is substituted to Phe in GnT-IVc.
Functionalities
The CBM94 domains of human GnT-IVa and B. mori ortholog were only examined for affinity to sugars, but the CBM94 domain of mouse GnT-IVa was examined for its relevance to enzyme activity and substrate specificity. The deletion of the CBM94 domain markedly reduced the activity of mouse GnT-IVa, and the replacement of Asp445, which binds GlcNAc, with Ala also reduced the glycosyltransferase activity. Based on its affinity for glycans, it is possible that the function of the CBM94 domain is to regulate the catalytic cycle from enzymatic reaction to product release rather than to capture substrates [2]. A comparative study of mouse GnT-IVa and GnT-IVb suggested that their CBM94 domains affect substrate glycoprotein preference in addition to the glycan binding function [4]. It should be noted that a CBM94 domain is conserved among GnT-IV isozymes, GnT-IVa, -IVb, and -IVc, but is completely absent in GnT-IVd (MGAT4D), which has no enzymatic activity observed and inhibits GnT-I activity [5].
