Known Activities

Depending on the subfamily, PL8s display a broad range of enzymatic activities including: hyaluronate lyase (EC 4.2.2.1); chondroitin AC lyase (EC 4.2.2.5); xanthan lyase (EC 4.2.2.12); and chondroitin ABC lyase (EC 4.2.2.20) actions.

Substrate specificities

PL8s are active on a variety of uronic acid-containing polysaccharides including hyaluronan [4)-β-D-Glucuronate-1,3-β -D-N-Acetyl-Glucosamine(1]_n, chondroitin AC [4)-β-D-Glucuronate-1,3-β-D-N-Acetyl-GalactosamineΔ4,6S(1]_n, xanthan [4)-β-D-Glucuronate-1,4-β-D-Glucuronate (1]_n, and chondroitin ABC [chondroitin AC and chondroitin B (aka. dermatan sulfate: 4)-β-L-Iduronate2S-1,3-β-D-N-Acetyl-Galactosamine4S(1]_n.

Kinetics and Mechanism

One of the major unresolved controversies around the PL8 catalytic mechanism is the candidate of the general base. Jedrzejas et al. proposed that in the Streptococcus pneumoniae hyaluronidase, His399 acts as the general base, Asn349 acts to neutralize the C5-carboxylate group, and Tyr408 is the proton donor [1, 2]. However, for two other PL8 family members: the Bacillus sp. GL1 xanthanase and Streptomyces coelicolor A3 hyaluronidase, it was suggested that an equivalent tyrosine residue served as the general acid and general base throughout the reaction [3, 4]. Combined quantum mechanical and molecular mechanical (QM/MM) simulations suggests the latter hypothesis is favored, with H399 participating in the neutralization of the C5-carboxylate group [5]. Molecular dynamic simulations of the pneumococcal hyaluronidase with hyaluronan fragments suggest that opening/closing and twisting domain motions of the (α/α)₆ barrel with respect to the anti-parallel β-sheet domains underly processive substrate translocation [6].

Catalytic Residues

In S. pneumoniae, mutagenesis and kinetic analysis of the HysA mutant suggested three residues were involved in catalysis Asn249, His399, Tyr408 and that two residues, Arg243 and Asn580 were responsible for substrate binding and translocation [1]. However, there is some question over what the identity is over the general base (please see Elmabrouk or Zheng et al. for discussions [4, 5]. An Asp for Asn mutation in Proteus vulgaris was suggested to provide the mechanism for enzymatic distinguishing between the two epimers [7].
