Substrate specificities

GH85 enzymes, commonly referred to as Endo-beta-N-acetylglucosaminidases (ENGse) cleave the chitobiose core (GlcNAc-beta-1,4-GlcNac) of N-linked glycans. Examples of ENGases have been shown to be active on high-mannose type N-glycans (Endo-H, Endo-A, Endo-Fsp, Endo-F1, and Endo-E), bi- and tri-antennary complex type N-glycans (Endo-F2 and Endo-F3), and both substrates (Endo-M). Although specificity appears to be primarily determined by the oligosaccharide glycone[1], there is evidence that structural features within the carbohydrate-protein aglycone region (GlcNAc-Asn) may also play a role in substrate recognition. GH85s are broadly distributed in nature having been described in bacteria [2, 3, 4, 5], fungi [6], plants [7] and animals [8]. In several cases, including Endo-A from Arthrobacter protophormiae (ApGH85) and Endo-M from Mucor hiemalis (MhGH85), ENGases have been shown to catalyze transglycosylation reactions, making them useful candidates in the bioengineering of glycoproteins [1] and biologic pharmaceuticals [9].

Kinetics and Mechanism

GH85s were originally proposed to utilize a substrate-assisted mechanism resulting in the retention of anomeric configuration on the basis of transglycosylation reactions that deployed oxazoline substrates as donor sugars [10]. Further support was provided by the three-dimensional structure of Endo-A [11] and Endo-D [5]in complex with thiazoline-based inhibitors. NMR spectroscopy was utilized on Endo-D products to demonstrate anomeric retention on cleavage products [5]. GH85s appear to deploy a rare form of substrate-assisted catalysis as a candidate asparagine, operating in an imidic tautomer form, facilitates a “proton shuttle” that results in acid-base catalysis of the glycosidic bond, a role similar to the catalytic aspartates in family 18 and 56 glycoside hydrolases [5].
