Substrate specificities

Glycoside hydrolases of family GH99 are endo-acting α-mannosidases that cleave glucose-substituted mannose within immature N-linked glycans of the general formula Glc_1-3Man₉GlcNAc₂, with maximal activity on the monoglucosylated forms [1]. This family was originally created from mammalian enzyme, cloned by Spiro and co-workers [2]. Mammalian GH99 enzymes are localized to the Golgi apparatus [3] and appear to play a role in the rescue of glucosylated N-linked glycans that have evaded the action of the endoplasmic reticulum exo-glucosidases I and II [4]. Mammalian endo-α-mannosidases has increased activity on glucosylated N-linked glycans that have been trimmed in the non-glucose-substituted branches [2]. There is evidence that mammalian endo-α-mannosidases act on dolichol-bound N-glycan precursors [5], as well as free oligosaccharides released from N-glycoproteins and which undergo retrograde transport through the secretory pathway [6].
