Substrate specificities
This family of glycoside hydrolases was recently established for NagBb from Bifidobacterium bifidum JCM 1254, which shows slight sequence similarity with GH101 endo-α-N-acetylgalactosaminidases [1]. NagBb more rapidly act on GalNAcα1-pNP than Galβ1-3GalNAcα1-pNP; therefore its substrate specificity is quite different from GH101 enzymes (EC 3.2.1.97). It is also different from those of previously known exo-α-N-acetylgalactosaminidases (EC 3.2.1.49) in GH27, GH36 and GH109. Thus, NagBb should be called as exo/endo-α-N-acetylgalactosaminidase. NagBb most preferably hydrolyzes GalNAcα1-Ser, a minimal structure of Tn antigen on mucin-type glycoproteins, suggesting that NagBb might be involved in degradation of intestinal mucins. The members of GH129 are distributed in several bifidobacterial species such as B. longum subsp. longum, B. longum subsp. infants and B. breve, which are frequently found in intestines of infants.
Kinetics and Mechanism
NagBb is a retaining enzyme. The stereochemistry of hydrolysis has been monitored by normal-phase HPLC using GalNAcα1-pNP as a substrate. GH129 is distantly related with GH101 as well as GH13 α-amylases; the latter two family members are also classified as retaining enzymes.
Catalytic Residues
Asp-435 in NagBb is predicted as catalytic nucleophile by the remote homology-based fold recognition method using GH13 α-amylase 1 (TVAI) from Thermoactinomyces vulgaris R-47 (PDB code 1JI1) as a template. Asp-330 in NagBb may be "fixer", the third invariant catalytic residue conserved in GH101 and GH13 enzymes. General acid/base residue is unknown.
