Isolation and relationship of human hexosaminidases.
A method for the preparation of highly purified β-hexosaminidase isozymes A and B from human placenta is presented. The purified enzymes possess identical molecular weight and exhibit similar kinetic parameters with artificial fluorogenic substrates.

Sandhoff disease is an autosomal recessive lysosomal disorder due to mutations in the β-hexosaminidase β-chain gene, resulting in β-hexosaminidases A (αβ) and B (ββ) deficiency and GM2 ganglioside accumulation in the brain.

Mutations in four glycosyl hydrolases reveal a highly coordinated pathway for rhodopsin biosynthesis and N-glycan trimming in Drosophila melanogaster. [PDF]
As newly synthesized glycoproteins move through the secretory pathway, the asparagine-linked glycan (N-glycan) undergoes extensive modifications involving the sequential removal and addition of sugar residues.

Catalysis by hen egg-white lysozyme proceeds via a covalent intermediate [PDF]
Hen egg-white lysozyme (HEWL) was the first enzyme to have its three-dimensional structure determined by X-ray diffraction techniques(1). A catalytic mechanism, featuring a long-lived oxo-carbenium-ion intermediate, was proposed on the basis of model ...

Novel transmembrane receptor involved in phagosome transport of lysozymes and β-hexosaminidase in the enteric protozoan Entamoeba histolytica. [PDF]
Lysozymes and hexosaminidases are ubiquitous hydrolases in bacteria and eukaryotes. In phagocytic lower eukaryotes and professional phagocytes from higher eukaryotes, they are involved in the degradation of ingested bacteria in phagosomes.

O-GlcNAcase Fragment Discovery with Fluorescence Polarimetry [PDF]
The attachment of the sugar N-acetyl-D-glucosamine (GlcNAc) to specific serine and threonine residues on proteins is referred to as protein O-GlcNAcylation.

Analysis of transition state mimicry by tight binding aminothiazoline inhibitors provides insight into catalysis by human : O-GlcNAcase [PDF]
The modification of nucleocytoplasmic proteins with O-linked N-Acetylglucosamine (O-GlcNAc) plays diverse roles in multicellular organisms. Inhibitors of O-GlcNAc hydrolase (OGA), the enzyme that removes O-GlcNAc from proteins, lead to increased O-GlcNAc

OGA Inhibition By GlcNAc-Selenazoline [PDF]
The title compound, which differs from the powerful O-GlcNAcase (OGA) inhibitor GlcNAc-thiazoline only at the chalcogen atom (Se for S), is a much weaker inhibitor in a direct OGA assay.
