Table 1. Hydrolysis and transglycosylation activities of Endo-A mutants.
Mutant | Specific hydrolysis activitya | Percentage of specific hydrolysis activity | Specific transglycosylation activitya | Percentage of specific transglycosylation activity |
mg min−1 mg−1 | % | µmol min−1 mg−1 | % | |
Wildtype | 21.1 | 100 | 1.72 | 100 |
N171A | NDb | - | 0.01 | 0.53 |
Y205F | 9.39 | 44 | 1.61 | 94 |
Y299F | 21.4 | 101 | 5.11 | 297 |
The hydrolysis activity was determined using Ribonuclease B as the substrate, the transglycosylation activity was measured using a chitinase-coupled assay, in which Man9GlcNAc2Asn-Fmoc was used as the donor substrate and 4MU-GlcNAc as the acceptor.
