We apologize for Proteopedia being slow to respond. For the past two years, a new implementation of Proteopedia has been being built. Soon, it will replace this 18-year old system. All existing content will be moved to the new system at a date that will be announced here.

Publication Abstract from PubMed
Intramolecular trans-sialidase from leech (Macrobdella decora) is the first member of the sialidase superfamily found to exhibit strict specificity towards the cleavage of terminal Neu5Acalpha2-->3Gal linkage in sialoglycoconjugates. Its release of 2,7-anhydro-Neu5Ac instead of Neu5Ac indicates that it catalyzes an intramolecular trans-sialosyl reaction. Crystal structures of its complexes with an inactive substrate analogue 2-propenyl-Neu5Ac, and with the product 2,7-anhydro-Neu5Ac, have been determined to 1.8 A resolution. The boat conformation of the pyranose observed in the complexes supports the proposed enzymatic mechanism that O7 of an axial 6-glycerol group attacks the positively charged C2 of the intermediate. A generalized mechanism is proposed for the sialidase superfamily.
