The sialidase enzyme was expressed from Arthrobacter ureafaciens (EC 3.2.1.18). This enzyme hydrolyzes glycosidic linkages of terminal sialic acid residues in glycoproteins.

Sialidase hydrolyses glycosidic linkages of terminal sialic acid residues in glycoproteins. In other words, it removes the sialic acids from the ends of the mucin constructs. This will help our bacteria to interact with the mucins for further degradation of the saccharides. Additionally, the removal of the sialic acids results in an exposure of other sugar groups on the mucins to other enzymes. Thus, the removal of sialic acids may result in even further mucus degradation by bacteria using different enzymes.

Sialidase enzyme

Usage and Biology

Sialidase hydrolyses glycosidic linkages of terminal sialic acid residues in glycoproteins. In other words, it removes the sialic acids from the ends of the mucin constructs. This will help our bacteria to interact with the mucins for further degradation of the saccharides. Additionally, the removal of the sialic acids results in an exposure of other sugar groups on the mucins to other enzymes. Thus, the removal of sialic acids may result in even further mucus degradation by bacteria using different enzymes.
