Substrate specificities
This family of glycoside hydrolases contains lacto-N-biosidase, as demonstrated for LnbX from Bifidobacterium longum JCM 1217 [1]. LnbX liberates the disaccharide Galβ1-3GlcNAc(lacto-N-biose I, LNB) from Human Milk Oligossacharides, lacto-N-tetraose, as substrate of the GH136 lacto-N-biosidase from B. longum JCM 1217. In addition, LnbX liberates Galβ1-3GalNAc (GNB) from the sugar chains of globo- and ganglio-series glycosphingolipids [2].
