Abstract Chitin, a β-1,4-linked homopolysaccharide of N-acetyl-d-glucosamine (GlcNAc), is one of the most abundant biopolymers on Earth. Paenibacillus sp. str. FPU-7 produces several different chitinases and converts chitin into N,N′-diacetylchitobiose ((GlcNAc)2) in the culture medium. However, the mechanism by which the Paenibacillus species imports (GlcNAc)2 into the cytoplasm and divides it into the monomer GlcNAc remains unclear. The gene encoding Paenibacillus β-N-acetyl-d-glucosaminidase (PsNagA) was identified in the Paenibacillus sp. str. FPU-7 genome using an expression cloning system. The deduced amino acid sequence of PsNagA suggests that the enzyme is a part of the glycoside hydrolase family 3 (GH3). Recombinant PsNagA was successfully overexpressed in Escherichia coli and purified to homogeneity. As assessed by gel permeation chromatography, the enzyme exists as a 57-kDa monomer. PsNagA specifically hydrolyses chitin oligosaccharides, (GlcNAc)2–4, 4-nitrophenyl N-acetyl β-d-glucosamine (pNP-GlcNAc) and pNP-(GlcNAc)2–6, but has no detectable activity against 4-nitrophenyl β-d-glucose, 4-nitrophenyl β-d-galactosamine and colloidal chitin. In this study, we present a 1.9 Å crystal structure of PsNagA bound to GlcNAc. The crystal structure reveals structural features related to substrate recognition and the catalytic mechanism of PsNagA. This is the first study on the structural and functional characterization of a GH3 β-N-acetyl-d-glucosaminidase from Paenibacillus sp.

ABSTRACT A type II arabinogalactan-degrading enzyme (FoGal1) was purified from Fusarium oxysporum 12S, and the corresponding cDNA was isolated. FoGal1 had high similarity to enzymes of glycoside hydrolase family 5. Treatment of larch wood arabinogalactan with the recombinant enzyme indicated that FoGal1 is a β-1,6-galactanase that preferentially debranches β-1,6-galactobiose from the substrate.

β-D-Galactofuranose (Galf) and its polysaccharides are found in bacteria, fungi and protozoa but do not occur in mammalian tissues, and thus represent a specific target for anti-pathogenic drugs. Understanding the enzymatic degradation of these polysaccharides is therefore of great interest, but the identity of fungal enzymes with exclusively galactofuranosidase activity has so far remained elusive. Here we describe the identification and characterization of a galactofuranosidase from the industrially important fungus Aspergillus niger. Phylogenetic analysis of glycoside hydrolase family 43 subfamily 34 (GH43_34) members revealed the occurrence of three distinct clusters and, by comparison with specificities of characterized bacterial members, suggested a basis for prediction of enzyme specificity. Using this rationale, in tandem with molecular docking, we identified a putative β-D-galactofuranosidase from A. niger which was recombinantly expressed in Escherichia coli. The Galf-specific hydrolase, encoded by xynD demonstrates maximum activity at pH 5, 25 °C towards 4-Nitrophenyl-β-galactofuranoside (pNP-βGalf), with a Km of 17.9 ± 1.9 mM and Vmax of 70.6 ± 5.3 μmol min-1. The characterization of this first fungal GH43 galactofuranosidase offers further molecular insight into the degradation of Galf-containing structures and may inform clinical treatments against fungal pathogens.
