Abstract: | The substrate specificity of N-acetylhexosaminidase (E.C. 3.2.1.51) from Aspergillus oryzae was examined using p-nitrophenyl 6-O-sulfo-N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminide (6-O-sulfo-GlcNAc-O-pNP) as the glycosyl donor and a series of beta-d-glucopyranosides and N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminides with variable aglycons at the anomeric positions as the acceptors. When beta-D-glucopyranosides with methyl (CH(3)), allyl (CH(2)CHCH(2)), and phenyl (C(6)H(5)) groups at the reducing end were used as the acceptors, this enzyme transferred the 6-O-sulfo-GlcNAc moiety in the donor to the location of O-4 in these glycosyl acceptors with a high regioselectivity, producing the corresponding 6-O-sulfo-N-acetylglucosaminyl beta-D-glucopyranosides. However, beta-D-glucopyranose lacking aglycon was a poor substrate for transglycosylation. This A. oryzae enzyme could also accept various N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminides carrying hydroxyl (OH), methyl (CH(3)), propyl (CH(2)CH(2)CH(3)), allyl (CH(2)CHCH(2)) and p-nitrophenyl (pNP; C(6)H(4)-NO(2)) groups at their aglycons, yielding 6-O-sulfo-N-acetylglucosaminyl-beta(1-->4)-disaccharide products. |
