Structure, 6:521-530, 1998 Cited by PubMed Abstract: Intramolecular trans-sialidase from leech (Macrobdella decora) is a unique enzyme which cleaves the terminal neuraminic acid (NeuAc) residue from sialoglycoconjugates, releasing 2, 7-anhydro-neuraminic acid (2,7-anhydro-NeuAc). It is the first enzyme found to exhibit strictly specific cleavage of NeuAc alpha2-->3Gal linkages in sialoglycoconjugates. The release of 2,7-anhydro-NeuAc instead of NeuAc implies a unique mechanism, in which the sialosyl linkage is transferred within the sialoglycoconjugate rather than hydrolyzed. The aims of the structural study were to gain structural insight into the strict specificity and unique mechanism of this unusual enzyme.
