Comments
This enzyme belongs to the glycosidase family-56 with a retaining mechanism.
This enzyme hydrolyzes beta-N-acetyl-hexosamine-(1->4) glycosidic bonds in chondroitin and chondroitin-suflate as well as in hyarulonan (see ref.[5] of D00804 in EzCatDB).
According to the literature [4], [5], [6] and [8], this enzyme catalyzes the following reaction:
(0) Asp 111 (of 1fcv) may modulate the pKa of Glu113. On the other hand, the nucleophile, N-acetyl group of substrate can be modulated by Asp111 and Tyr227 (see [5]). Moreover, the interaction of the nucleophilic N-acetyl group with these residues may induce the deformation of the sugar ring from chair to distorted boat conformation, which facilitate the formation of oxocarbonium ion transtion-state (SN1-like reaction).
(1) The carbonyl oxygen of the N-acetyl group makes a nucleophilic attack on the C1 atom of the same sugar unit, to form an intramolecular covalent intermediate. At the same time, Glu131 acts as a general acid to protonate the leaving glycan on the reducing side of the glycosidic bond to be cleaved. Thus, the glycosidic bond in the substrate on the non-reducing side of the bond is cleaved, resulting in the inversion of the anomeric C1 atom configuration.
(2) Glu113 acts as a general base to activate a water molecule.
(3) The activated water makes a nucleophilic attack on the C1 atom of the intermediate, resulting in the second inversion of the C1 configuration. Thus, the reaction completes.
