CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF STREPTOCOCCUS PNEUMONIAE HYALURONATE LYASE FROM 30PERCENT PEGMME.
OverviewOverview
Streptococcus pneumoniae hyaluronan lyase is a surface enzyme of this, Gram-positive bacterium. The enzyme degrades several biologically, important, information-rich linear polymeric glycans: hyaluronan, unsulfated chondroitin, and some chondroitin sulfates. This degradation, facilitates spreading of bacteria throughout the host tissues and, presumably provides energy and a carbon source for pneumococcal cells. Its, beta-elimination catalytic mechanism is an acid/base process termed proton, acceptance and donation leading to cleavage of beta-1,4 linkages of the, substrates. The degradation of hyaluronan occurs in two stages, initial, endolytic cuts are followed by processive exolytic cleavage of one, disaccharide at a time. In contrast, the degradation of chondroitins is, purely ... [(full description)]
