SPECIFICITY AND MECHANISM OF STREPTOCOCCUS PNEUMONIAE HYALURONATE LYASE: COMPLEX OF THE TYR408PHE MUTANT WITH 4-SULPHATED CHONDROITIN DISACCHARIDE
Overview
Streptococcus pneumoniae hyaluronate lyase is a surface enzyme of this, Gram-positive bacterium. The enzyme degrades hyaluronan and, chondroitin/chondroitin sulfates by cleaving the beta1,4-glycosidic, linkage between the glycan units of these polymeric substrates. This, degradation helps spreading of this bacterial organism throughout the host, tissues and facilitates the disease process caused by pneumococci. The, mechanism of this degradative process is based on beta-elimination, is, termed proton acceptance and donation, and involves selected residues of a, well defined catalytic site of the enzyme. The degradation of hyaluronan, alone is thought to proceed through a processive mode of action. The, structures of complexes between the enzyme and chondroitin as well as, chondroitin ...
