Glycosylation is one of the most prevalent posttranslational modifications that profoundly
affects the structure and functions of proteins in a wide variety of biological recognition …

The chitinolytic machinery of S erratia marcescens is one of the best known enzyme systems
for the conversion of insoluble polysaccharides. This machinery includes four chitin‐active …

In the past decades our knowledge about fungal cell wall architecture increased
tremendously and led to the identification of many enzymes involved in polysaccharide …

Endo-β-N-acetylglucosaminidase from Mucor hiemalis (Endo-M), a family 85 glycoside
hydrolase, acts on the β1, 4 linkage of N, N′-diacetylchitobiose moiety in the N-linked …

Breast-fed infants often have intestinal microbiota dominated by bifidobacteria in contrast to
formula-fed infants. We found that several bifidobacterial strains produce a lacto-N …

In humans, two major β-hexosaminidase isoenzymes exist: Hex A and Hex B. Hex A is a
heterodimer of subunits α and β (60% identity), whereas Hex B is a homodimer of β …

O‐linked N‐acetylglucosamine (O‐GlcNAc) modification of specific serines/threonines on
intracellular proteins in higher eukaryotes has been shown to directly regulate important …

The PglB oligosaccharyltransferase (OTase) of Campylobacter jejuni can be functionally
expressed in Escherichia coli, and its relaxed oligosaccharide substrate specificity allows …

Glycoside hydrolysis by retaining family 18 chitinases involves a catalytic acid (Glu) which is
part of a conserved DXDXE sequence motif that spans strand four of a (βα) 8 barrel (TIM …

Lysosomal β-hexosaminidase A (Hex A) is essential for the degradation of GM2
gangliosides in the central and peripheral nervous system. Accumulation of GM2 leads to …
