Comments
This enzyme belongs to the glycosidase family-22. This is a retaining enzyme, which hydrolyzes beta-(1-4)-glycosidic linkages between N-acetylmuramic acid and N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc).
Although earlier study (see [27]) proposed that Asp52 acts as a stabilizer, which stabilizes the oxocarbenium ion intermediate, recent papers confirmed that Asp52 acts as a nucleophile that will form a covalent intermediate with C1 atom of the sugar substrate (see [69] & [70]). Meanwhile, Glu35 acts as an acid-base catalyst.
Thus, according to the literature [69] & [70], the catalytic reaction proceeds with a concerted SN2-type reaction as follows:
(1) Glu35 acts as a general acid, to protonate the glycosidic oxygen of the scissile bond, whilst asp52 makes a nucleophilic attack on the C1 atom of the GlcNAc, to form a covalent intermediate with it. This reaction leads to the bond cleavage between the glycosidic linkage.
(2) Glu35 acts as a general base, which activates a water molecule. The activated water makes a nucleophilic attack on the C1 atom, to hydrolyze the intermediate.
