Substrate specificities
Glycoside hydrolases of family 46 are essentially endo-beta-1,4-chitosanases (EC 3.2.1.132) that hydrolyze various links in chitosan, a polymer of beta-1,4-linked D-glucosamine (GlcN) units with a variable content (mostly 0 - 35%) of N-acetyl-D-glucosamine (GlcNAc) [1, 2]. Among the four types of links occurring between these two kinds of subunits, all the enzymes examined for their cleavage specificity recognized productively the GlcN-GlcN links. Furthermore, the chitosanase from Bacillus circulans MH-K1 recognizes also GlcN-GlcNAc links, while the chitosanase from Streptomyces sp. N174 recognizes the GlcNAc-GlcN links.
