Abstract
Chitin, one of the most abundant renewable biopolymers on Earth, is commercially available from crustacean wastes. One critical step in converting chitin to high-value products is its degradation by chitinolytic enzymes to N-acetyl-d-glucosamine (GlcNAc), which plays a significant role in functional food and pharmaceutical industries. Here, we cloned and biochemically characterized two novel β-N-acetylglucosaminidases named SvNag2557 (family-84) and SvNag4755 (family-3) from Streptomyces violascens ATCC 27968. Both SvNag2557 and SvNag4755 exhibited strict substrate specificity toward N-acetyl chitooligosaccharides with GlcNAc as the sole product. Thus, a one-pot production for pure GlcNAc from chitin by an enzyme cocktail reaction was further developed. Under the co-action of an endo-type chitinase SaChiA4 and SvNag2557 (mass ratio 1:2), the final conversion rates of colloidal chitin and ionic liquid pretreated chitin to GlcNAc were 80.2% and 73.8% with GlcNAc purities of 99.7% and 96.8%, respectively.

Abstract
Bioproduction of N-acetyl-d-glucosamine (GlcNAc) from chitin, the second most abundant natural renewable polymer on earth, is of great value in which chitinolytic enzymes play key roles. In this study, a novel glycoside hydrolase family-18 β-N-acetylglucosaminidase (PbNag39) from Paenibacillus barengoltzii suitable for GlcNAc production was identified and biochemically characterized. It possessed a unique shallow catalytic groove (5.8 Å) as well as a smaller C-terminal domain (solvent-accessible surface area, 5.1 × 103 Å2) and exhibited strict substrate specificity toward N-acetyl chitooligosaccharides (COS) with GlcNAc as the sole product, showing a typical manner of action of β-N-acetylglucosaminidases. Thus, an environmentally friendly bioprocess for GlcNAc production from ball-milled powdery chitin by an enzyme cocktail reaction was further developed. By using the new route, the powdery chitin conversion rate increased from 23.3% (v/v) to 75.3% with a final GlcNAc content of 22.6 mg mL-1. The efficient and environmentally friendly bioprocess may have great application potential in GlcNAc production.

Glycobiology 2020; 30:49-57. [PMID: 31701135 DOI: 10.1093/glycob/cwz069] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/26/2019] [Revised: 08/29/2019] [Accepted: 08/30/2019] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
The opportunistic pathogen Clostridium perfringens possesses the ability to colonize the protective mucin layer in the gastrointestinal tract. To assist this, the C. perfringens genome contains a battery of genes encoding glycoside hydrolases (GHs) that are likely active on mucin glycans, including four genes encoding family 84 GHs: CpGH84A (NagH), CpGH84B (NagI), CpGH84C (NagJ) and CpGH84D (NagK). To probe the potential advantage gained by the expansion of GH84 enzymes in C. perfringens, we undertook the structural and functional characterization of the CpGH84 catalytic modules. Here, we show that these four CpGH84 catalytic modules act as β-N-acetyl-D-glucosaminidases able to hydrolyze N- and O-glycan motifs. CpGH84A and CpGH84D displayed a substrate specificity restricted to terminal β-1,2- and β-1,6-linked N-acetyl-D-glucosamine (GlcNAc). CpGH84B and CpGH84C appear more promiscuous with activity on terminal β-1,2-, β-1,3- and β-1,6-linked GlcNAc; both possess some activity toward β-1,4-linked GlcNAc, but this is dependent upon which monosaccharide it is linked to. Furthermore, all the CpGH84s have different optimum pHs ranging from 5.2 to 7.0. Consistent with their β-N-acetyl-D-glucosaminidase activities, the structures of the four catalytic modules revealed similar folds with a catalytic site including a conserved -1 subsite that binds GlcNAc. However, nonconserved residues in the vicinity of the +1 subsite suggest different accommodation of the sugar preceding the terminal GlcNAc, resulting in subtly different substrate specificities. This structure-function comparison of the four GH84 catalytic modules from C. perfringens reveals their different biochemical properties, which may relate to how they are deployed in the bacterium's niche in the host.

Abstract
β-N-Acetylhexosaminidases (EC 3.2.1.52) are a unique family of glycoside hydrolases with dual substrate specificity and a particular reaction mechanism. Though hydrolytic enzymes per se, their good stability, easy recombinant production, absolute stereoselectivity, and a broad substrate specificity predestine these enzymes for challenging applications in carbohydrate synthesis. This mini-review aims to demonstrate the catalytic potential of β-N-acetylhexosaminidases in a range of unusual reactions, processing of unnatural substrates, formation of unexpected products, and demanding reaction designs. The use of unconventional media can considerably alter the progress of transglycosylation reactions. By means of site-directed mutagenesis, novel catalytic machineries can be constructed. Glycosylation of difficult substrates such as sugar nucleotides was accomplished, and the range of afforded glycosidic bonds comprises unique non-reducing sugars. Specific functional groups may be tolerated in the substrate molecule, which makes β-N-acetylhexosaminidases invaluable allies in difficult synthetic problems.

Abstract
β-N-acetylhexosaminidases from Akkermansia muciniphila was reported to perform the crystal structure with GlcNAc complex, which proved to be the substrate of Am2301. Domain II of Am2301 is consisted of amino acid residues 111-489 and is folded as a (β/α)8 barrel with the active site combined of the glycosyl hydrolases. Crystallographic evidence showed that Asp-278 and Glu-279 could be the catalytic site and Tyr-373 may plays a role on binding the substrate. Moreover, Am2301 prefers to bind Zn ion, which similar to other GH 20 family. Enzyme activity and kinetic parameters of wild-type Am2301 and mutants proved that Asp-278 and Glu-279 are the catalytic sites and they play a critical role on the catalytic process. Overall, our results demonstrate that Am2301 and its complex with GlcNAC provide obvious structural evidence for substrate-assisted catalysis. Obviously, this expands our understanding on the mode of substrate-assisted reaction for this enzyme family in Akkermansia muciniphila.

Abstract
Cell walls are involved in manifold aspects of fungi maintenance. For several fungi, chitin synthesis, degradation and recycling are essential processes required for cell wall biogenesis; notably, the activity of β-N-acetylglucosaminidases (NAGases) must be present for chitin utilization. For entomopathogenic fungi, such as Metarhizium anisopliae, chitin degradation is also used to breach the host cuticle during infection. In view of the putative role of NAGases as virulence factors, this study explored the transcriptional profile and evolution of putative GH20 NAGases (MaNAG1 and MaNAG2) and GH3 NAGases (MaNAG3 and MaNAG4) identified in M. anisopliae. While MaNAG2 orthologs are conserved in several ascomycetes, MaNAG1 clusters only with Aspergilllus sp. and entomopathogenic fungal species. By contrast, MaNAG3 and MaNAG4 were phylogenetically related with bacterial GH3 NAGases. The transcriptional profiles of M. anisopliae NAGase genes were evaluated in seven culture conditions showing no common regulatory patterns, suggesting that these enzymes may have specific roles during the Metarhizium life cycle. Moreover, the expression of MaNAG3 and MaNAG4 regulated by chitinous substrates is the first evidence of the involvement of putative GH3 NAGases in physiological cell processes in entomopathogens, indicating their potential influence on cell differentiation during the M. anisopliae life cycle.

Abstract
β-N-Acetylglucosaminidases (GlcNAcases) hydrolyse N-acetylglucosamine-containing oligosaccharides and proteins. These enzymes produce N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) and have a wide range of promising applications in the food, energy, and pharmaceutical industries, such as synergistic degradation of chitin with endo-chitinases and using GlcNAc to produce sialic acid, bioethanol, single-cell proteins, and pharmaceutical therapeutics. GlcNAcases also play an important role in the dynamic balance of cellular O-linked GlcNAc levels, catabolism of ganglioside storage in Tay-Sachs disease, and bacterial cell wall recycling and flagellar assembly. In view of these important biological functions and the wide range of industrial applications of GlcNAcases, this review aims to provide a better understanding of various advances for these enzymes. It focuses on enzymatic properties of GlcNAcases, including substrate specificity, catalytic activity, pH optimum, temperature optimum, thermostability, the effects of various metal ions and organic reagents, and transglycosylation.

Abstract
Background Enzymatic degradation of chitin has attracted substantial attention because chitin is an abundant renewable natural resource, second only to lignocellulose, and because of the promising applications of N-acetylglucosamine in the bioethanol, food and pharmaceutical industries. However, the low activity and poor tolerance to salts and N-acetylglucosamine of most reported β-N-acetylglucosaminidases limit their applications. Mining for novel enzymes from new microorganisms is one way to address this problem. Results A glycoside hydrolase family 20 (GH 20) β-N-acetylglucosaminidase (GlcNAcase) was identified from Microbacterium sp. HJ5 harboured in the saline soil of an abandoned salt mine and was expressed in Escherichia coli. The purified recombinant enzyme showed specific activities of 1773.1 ± 1.1 and 481.4 ± 2.3 μmol min−1 mg−1 towards p-nitrophenyl β-N-acetylglucosaminide and N,N'-diacetyl chitobiose, respectively, a Vmax of 3097 ± 124 μmol min−1 mg−1 towards p-nitrophenyl β-N-acetylglucosaminide and a Ki of 14.59 mM for N-acetylglucosamine inhibition. Most metal ions and chemical reagents at final concentrations of 1.0 and 10.0 mM or 0.5 and 1.0% (v/v) had little or no effect (retaining 84.5 − 131.5% activity) on the enzyme activity. The enzyme can retain more than 53.6% activity and good stability in 3.0–20.0% (w/v) NaCl. Compared with most GlcNAcases, the activity of the enzyme is considerably higher and the tolerance to salts and N-acetylglucosamine is much better. Furthermore, the enzyme had higher proportions of aspartic acid, glutamic acid, alanine, glycine, random coils and negatively charged surfaces but lower proportions of cysteine, lysine, α-helices and positively charged surfaces than its homologs. These molecular characteristics were hypothesised as potential factors in the adaptation for salt tolerance and high activity of the GH 20 GlcNAcase. Conclusions Biochemical characterization revealed that the GlcNAcase had novel salt–GlcNAc tolerance and high activity. These characteristics suggest that the enzyme has versatile potential in biotechnological applications, such as bioconversion of chitin waste and the processing of marine materials and saline foods. Molecular characterization provided an understanding of the molecular–function relationships for the salt tolerance and high activity of the GH 20 GlcNAcase.

Abstract
Human lysosomal β-N-acetylhexosaminidases from the family 20 of glycoside hydrolases are dimeric enzymes catalysing the cleavage of terminal β-N-acetylglucosamine and β-N-acetylgalactosamine residues from a broad spectrum of glycoconjugates. Here, we present a facile, robust, and cost-effective extracellular expression of human β-N-acetylhexosaminidase B in Pichia pastoris KM71H strain. The prepared Hex B was purified in a single step with 33% yield obtaining 10mg of the pure enzyme per 1L of the culture media. The enzyme was used in the inhibition assays with the known mechanism-based inhibitor NAG-thiazoline and a wide variety of its derivatives in the search for specific inhibitors of the human GH20 β-N-acetylhexosaminidases over the human GH84 β-N-acetylglucosaminidase, which was expressed, purified and used in the inhibition experiments as well. Moreover, enzyme-inhibitor complexes were analysed employing computational tools in order to reveal the structural basis of the results of the inhibition assays, showing the importance of water-mediated interactions between the enzyme and respective ligands. The presented method for the heterologous expression of human Hex B is robust, it significantly reduces the costs and equipment demands in comparison to the expression in mammalian cell lines. This will enhance accessibility of this human enzyme to the broad scientific community and may speed up the research of specific inhibitors of this physiologically important glycosidase family.

The differential expression of BmGlcNAcase2 in strains of Bombyx mori (Lepidoptera: Bombycidae) with different susceptibility to Bombyx mori (Lepidoptera: Bombycidae) nucleopolyhedrovirus infection.

Abstract
GlcNAcase is a glycosyl hydrolase located in the lysosomes of numerous organisms. Levels of the protein, β-N-acetylglucosaminidase 2 (GlcNAcase2), which is a member of the GlcNAcase family, are different in two strains of the silkworm Bombyx mori that have different resistance to Bombyx mori nucleopolyhedroviruses (BmNPVs). We identified six single-nucleotide differences in the GlcNAcase2 coding sequence between the 306 and NB strains. Five are silent changes, but one is a nonsynonymous mutation. Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction analysis showed that GlcNAcase2 mRNA levels in the NB strain were nearly 2.57 times higher compared with those in the 306 strain. In addition, GlcNAcase2 enzyme activity was much higher in the NB strain compared with that in the 306 strain. Together, these results indicate that GlcNAcase2 may be involved in variable BmNPV resistance in B. mori.

Abstract
A novel β-N-acetylglucosaminidase gene (RmNag) from Rhizomucor miehei was cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli. RmNag shares the highest identity of 37% with a putative β-N-acetylglucosaminidase from Aspergillus clavatus. The recombinant enzyme was purified to homogeneity. The optimal pH and temperature of RmNag were pH 6.5 and 50 °C, respectively. It was stable in the pH range 6.0-8.0 and at temperatures below 45 °C. RmNag exhibited strict substrate specificity for p-nitrophenyl β-N-acetylglucosaminide (pNP-GlcNAc) and N-acetyl chitooligosaccharides. The apparent Km of RmNag toward pNP-GlcNAc was 0.13 mM. The purified enzyme displayed an exo-type manner as it released the only end product of GlcNAc from all the tested N-acetyl chitooligosaccharides. Besides, RmNag exhibited relatively high N-acetyl-β-D-glucosaminide tolerance with an inhibition constant Ki value of 9.68 mM. The excellent properties may give the enzyme great potential in industries. This is the first report on a glycoside hydrolyase family 3 β-N-acetylglucosaminidase from a fungus.

Inhibition of GlcNAc-processing glycosidases by C-6-azido-NAG-thiazoline and its derivatives. Molecules 2014; 19:3471-88. [PMID: 24658571 PMCID: PMC6271965 DOI: 10.3390/molecules19033471] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/04/2014] [Revised: 03/06/2014] [Accepted: 03/13/2014] [Indexed: 01/13/2023] Open
Abstract
NAG-thiazoline is a strong competitive inhibitor of GH20 β-N-acetyl- hexosaminidases and GH84 β-N-acetylglucosaminidases. Here, we focused on the design, synthesis and inhibition potency of a series of new derivatives of NAG-thiazoline modified at the C-6 position. Dimerization of NAG-thiazoline via C-6 attached triazole linkers prepared by click chemistry was employed to make use of multivalency in the inhibition. Novel compounds were tested as potential inhibitors of β-N-acetylhexosaminidases from Talaromyces flavus, Streptomyces plicatus (both GH20) and β-N-acetylglucosaminidases from Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron and humans (both GH84). From the set of newly prepared NAG-thiazoline derivatives, only C-6-azido-NAG-thiazoline displayed inhibition activity towards these enzymes; C-6 triazole-substituted NAG-thiazolines lacked inhibition activity against the enzymes used. Docking of C-6-azido-NAG-thiazoline into the active site of the tested enzymes was performed. Moreover, a stability study with GlcNAc-thiazoline confirmed its decomposition at pH < 6 yielding 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-1-thio-α/β-D-glucopyranoses, which presumably dimerize oxidatively into S-S linked dimers; decomposition products of NAG-thiazoline are void of inhibitory activity.
