Abstract
Excessive softening of fruits during the ripening process leads to rapid deterioration. N-glycan processing enzymes are reported to play important roles during fruit ripening associated softening. Efforts have been made to identify and purify β-D-N-acetyl hexosaminidase (β-Hex) from strawberry fruit and also to investigate its function during ripening. More than that, the postharvest treatment effect of alginate oligosaccharides (AOS) at a concentration of 0.1 g L-1 on fruit firmness and the activity of N-glycan processing enzymes were also investigated during the storage of strawberry. Results demonstrated that the full-length of β-Hex 1 and β-Hex 2 genes were 2186 and 2013 bp, including an ORF of 1598 and 1724 bp and encoding 532 and 574 amino acids with a predicted molecular weight of 60 and 71 kDa, respectively. Moreover, β-hex enzyme activity and the expression of their encoding genes increased during the ripening of strawberry. In addition, postharvest application of AOS delayed the loss of firmness and suppressed the activity of N-glycan processing enzymes (α-Man and β-Hex) along with N-glycan processing enzymes associated genes expression resulting in delayed fruit softening. Therefore, our study suggests that N-glycan processing enzymes may play roles in strawberry softening and AOS treatment suppressed enzymes activity and preserve firmness of the fruit.

Abstract
The kinetic properties of β-N-acetylhexosaminidase purified from tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.) leaves have been investigated. In addition to chromogenic pNP derivates, N,N'-diacetylchitobiose and N,N',N″-triacetylchitotriose were also used as substrates of β-N-acetylhexosaminidase. The highest reaction rate and the affinity for the substrate were observed for pNP-GlcNAc; however, an excess of this substrate inhibits the reaction. The reaction rate with pNP-GalNAc as the substrate was found to be about 85% of that obtained with pNP-GlcNAc. The hydrolysis of acetylated chitooligomers by β-N-acetylhexosaminidase followed by separation and quantification using capillary electrophoresis was slower compared to pNP-GlcNAc. The pH optimum of β-N-acetylhexosaminidase for individual substrates was found at 4.3-5.0 and the temperature optimum was 50-55 °C. Gel permeation chromatography and red native electrophoresis determined the relative molecular weight as 280 000 and the isoelectric point as 5.3. The inhibition of β-N-acetylhexosaminidase by monosaccharides GlcN, GalN, GlcNAc, GalNAc in combination with substrates pNP-GlcNAc and pNP-GalNAc was studied and the type of inhibition and the inhibition constants were determined.

Molecular phylogeny and predicted 3D structure of plant beta-D-N-acetylhexosaminidase. ScientificWorldJournal 2014; 2014:186029. [PMID: 25165734 PMCID: PMC4129151 DOI: 10.1155/2014/186029] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/02/2014] [Revised: 06/14/2014] [Accepted: 06/21/2014] [Indexed: 11/21/2022] Open
Abstract
beta-D-N-Acetylhexosaminidase, a family 20 glycosyl hydrolase, catalyzes the removal of β-1,4-linked N-acetylhexosamine residues from oligosaccharides and their conjugates. We constructed phylogenetic tree of β-hexosaminidases to analyze the evolutionary history and predicted functions of plant hexosaminidases. Phylogenetic analysis reveals the complex history of evolution of plant β-hexosaminidase that can be described by gene duplication events. The 3D structure of tomato β-hexosaminidase (β-Hex-Sl) was predicted by homology modeling using 1now as a template. Structural conformity studies of the best fit model showed that more than 98% of the residues lie inside the favoured and allowed regions where only 0.9% lie in the unfavourable region. Predicted 3D structure contains 531 amino acids residues with glycosyl hydrolase20b domain-I and glycosyl hydrolase20 superfamily domain-II including the (β/α)8 barrel in the central part. The α and β contents of the modeled structure were found to be 33.3% and 12.2%, respectively. Eleven amino acids were found to be involved in ligand-binding site; Asp(330) and Glu(331) could play important roles in enzyme-catalyzed reactions. The predicted model provides a structural framework that can act as a guide to develop a hypothesis for β-Hex-Sl mutagenesis experiments for exploring the functions of this class of enzymes in plant kingdom.

Abstract
Glycosylation is an important post-translational modification involved in the modulation of a wide variety of cellular processes. Because glycosydases are central, the aim of this study was to investigate the glycosyl activity present in the cotyledons of the seeds of an important crop legume, Lupinus albus, as well as potential natural substrates of the detected enzymes. The glycosyl activity detected in the cotyledons beginning at seed imbibition and continuing until 9 days after, was due to a β-N-acetylhexosaminidase (β-NAHase), which was molecularly and biochemically characterized after purification. Two isoenzymes with molecular masses of 64 and 61 kDa were detected, each having five isoenzymes with pIs 5.3-5.6. The 64 and 61 kDa isoenzymes had the same protein core showing different degrees of glycosylation. The N-terminal sequence of the enzyme protein core was determined [VDSEDLI(EN)AFKIYVEDDNEHLQGSVD] and to our knowledge, is the first reported protein sequence from a plant β-NAHase. L. albus β-NAHase had Km values of 2.59 mM and 2.94 mM and V values of 18.40 μM min(-1) and 2.73 μM min(-1), for pNP-GlcNAc and pNP-GalNAc, an optimum pH of 5.0 and 4.0 and temperature of 50 °C and 60 °C were detected toward pNP-GlcNAc and pNP-GalNAc. In the presence of AgNO3, CoCl2, CuSO4, FeCl3, CdCl2 and ZnCl2 the enzymatic activity decreased more than 50%, and when in the presence of sugars, an activity reduction of no more than 25% was observed. A physiological role for β-NAHase in L. albus storage protein mobilization was investigated. β-NAHase has already been implicated in several biological processes, namely in glycoprotein processing during seed germination and seedling growth. However, the natural substrates used by this enzyme are not yet completely clarified. By gathering in vivo and in vitro data for β-NAHase activity together with globulin degradation, we suggest that L. albus β-NAHase is involved in the mobilization of storage protein degradation, with α-conglutin being a potential natural substrate for this enzyme.

PLANT SCIENCE : AN INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF EXPERIMENTAL PLANT BIOLOGY 2012; 185-186:161-8.

Abstract
Because the pathway for protein synthesis is largely conserved between plants and animals, plants provide an attractive platform for the cost effective and flexible production of biopharmaceuticals. However, there are some differences in glycosylation between plants and humans that need to be considered before plants can be used as an efficient expression platform. In the presented research the human genes encoding α1,3-mannosyl-β1,4-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase (GnT-IV) and α1,6-mannosyl-β1,6-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase (GnT-V) were introduced in the fast cycling model plant Arabidopsis thaliana to synthesize tri-antennary N-glycans. The GnT-IV and -V enzymes were targeted to the Golgi apparatus with plant-specific localization signals. The experiments were performed both in a wild type background, as well as in plants lacking β1,2-xylosyltransferase (XylT) and α1,3-fucosyltransferase (FucT) activity. Glycan analysis of endogenous proteins in the transgenic lines using CE-LIF showed that tri-antennary N-glycans could be produced in the XylT/FucT deficient line, while these structures were not found in the wild type background. Since β-N-acetylhexosaminidases, that remove terminal GlcNAcs, are active in A. thaliana plants, the specificity of these enzymes for different GlcNAc linkages was tested. The results showed that there is no pronounced preference of the A. thaliana hexosaminidases for human-type GlcNAc-linkages.
