Abstract

AbstractThe biological function of terminal galactose on glycoprotein is an open field of research. Although progress had being made on enzymes that can remove the terminal galactose on glycoproteins, there is a lack of report on galactosidases that can work directly on living cells. In this study, a unique beta 1,4 galactosidase was isolated fromElizabethkingia meningoseptica(Em). It exhibited favorable stability at various temperatures (4-37℃) and pH (5-8) levels and can remove β-1, 4 linked galactoses directly from glycoproteins. Using Alanine scanning, we found that two acidic residues (Glu-468, and Glu-531) in the predicted active pocket are critical for galactosidase activity. In addition, we also demonstrated that it could cleave galactose residues present on living cell surface. As the enzyme has a potential application for living cell glycan editing, we named it glycan editing galactosidase I or geGalaseI. In summary, our findings lay the groundwork for prospective investigations by presenting a prompt and gentle approach for the removal of galactose moieties from cell surface.
