This study reveals the digestion specificity and subsite specificity of monosaccharide production by endo-chitosanases, providing a unique example of possible structure-function relationships.
Endo-chitosanases (EC 3.2.1.132) are generally considered to selectively release functional chito-oligosaccharides (COSs) with degrees of polymerization (DPs) >= 2. Although numerous endo-chitosanases have been characterized, the digestion specificity of endo-chitosanases needs to be further explored. In this study, a GH46 endo-chitosanase OUC-CsnPa was cloned, expressed, and characterized from Paenibacillus sp. 1-18. The digestion pattern analysis indicated that OUC-CsnPa could produce monosaccharides from chitotetraose [(GlcN)4], the smallest recognized substrate, in a random endo-acting manner. Especially, the enzyme specificities during chitosan digestion including the regulation of product abundance through a transglycosylation reaction were also evaluated. It was hypothesized that an insertion region in OUC-CsnPa may form a strong force to be involved in stabilizing (GlcN)4 at its negative subsite for efficient hydrolysis. This is the first comprehensive report to reveal the digestion specificity and subsite specificity of monosaccharide production by endo-chitosanases. Overall, OUC-CsnPa described here highlights the previously unknown digestion properties of the endo-acting chitosanases and provides a unique example of possible structure- function relationships.
