Reaction catalysed
  • H2O + O(3)-[beta-D-galactosyl-(1->3)-N-acetyl-alpha-D-galactosaminyl]-L-seryl-[protein] <=> beta-D-galactosyl-(1->3)-N-acetyl-D-galactosamine + L-seryl-[protein]
  • H2O + O(3)-[beta-D-galactosyl-(1->3)-N-acetyl-alpha-D-galactosaminyl]-L-threonyl-[protein] <=> beta-D-galactosyl-(1->3)-N-acetyl-D-galactosamine + L-threonyl-[protein]
Comment(s)
  • The enzyme catalyzes the liberation of Gal-(1->3)-beta-GalNAc alpha- linked to serine or threonine residues of mucin-type glycoproteins.
  • EngBF from Bifidobacterium longum specifically acts on core 1-type O-glycan to release the disaccharide Gal-(1->3)-beta-GalNAc.
  • The enzymes from Clostridium perfringens, Enterococcus faecalis, Propionibacterium acnes and Alcaligenes faecalis show broader specificity (e.g. release of the core 2 trisaccharide Gal-(1->3)- beta-(GlcNAc-(1->6)-beta)-GalNAc or the core 3 disaccharide GlcNAc- (1->3)-beta-GalNAc).
  • The enzyme may play an important role in the degradation and utilization of mucins having core 1 O-glycan.
  • Formerly EC 3.2.1.110.
