Biochemical characterization of the chondroitinase ABC I active site.
cABC I (chondroitinase ABC I) from Proteus vulgaris is a GalAG (galactosaminoglycan) depolymerizing lyase that cleaves its substrates at the glycosidic bond via beta-elimination. cABC I cleaves a particularly broad range of GalAG substrates, including CS (chondroitin sulphate), DS (dermatan sulphate) and hyaluronic acid. We recently cloned and recombinantly expressed cABC I in Escherichia coli,...
متن کاملChondroitinase ABC I from Proteus vulgaris: cloning, recombinant expression and active site identification.
GalAGs (galactosaminoglycans) are one subset of the GAG (glycosaminoglycan) family of chemically heterogeneous polysaccharides that are involved in a wide range of biological processes. These complex biomacromolecules are believed to be responsible for the inhibition of nerve regeneration following injury to the central nervous system. The enzymic degradation of GAG chains in damaged nervous ti...
متن کاملRecombinant expression, purification, and biochemical characterization of chondroitinase ABC II from Proteus vulgaris.
Chondroitin lyases (or chondroitinases) are a family of enzymes that depolymerize chondroitin sulfate (CS) and dermatan sulfate (DS) galactosaminoglycans, which have gained prominence as important players in central nervous system biology. Two distinct chondroitinase ABC enzymes, cABCI and cABCII, were identified in Proteus vulgaris. Recently, cABCI was cloned, recombinantly expressed, and exte...
متن کاملChondroitinase ABC digestion of dermatan sulphate. N.m.r. spectroscopic characterization of the oligo- and poly-saccharides.
Dermatan sulphates, in which iduronate was the predominant uronate constituent, were partially digested by chondroitinase ABC to produce oligosaccharides of the following structure: delta UA-[GalNAc(4SO3)-IdoA]mGalNAc(4SO3) [where m = 0-5, delta UA represents beta-D-gluco-4-enepyranosyluronate, IdoA represents alpha-L-iduronate and GalNAc(4SO3) represents 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-beta-D-galactose 4-...
متن کاملUnderstanding the Catalytic Machinery of Chondroitinase ABC I in Processing Dermatan Sulfate
In recent studies related to injury to the central nervous system, researchers have found that galactosaminoglycans can serve as inhibitors to neuron regeneration. The chondroitinase enzyme family is comprised of several bacterial lyases known to dissolve galactosaminoglycans in the extracellular matrix. Although several studies have shown the benefit of using chondroitinase enzymes for treatme...
