EC 3.2.1.209     
Accepted name: endoplasmic reticulum Man9GlcNAc2 1,2-α-mannosidase
Reaction: Man9GlcNAc2-[protein] + H2O = Man8GlcNAc2-[protein] (isomer 8A1,2,3B1,3) + D-mannopyranose
Glossary: Man9GlcNAc2-[protein] = {α-D-Man-(1→2)-α-D-Man-(1→2)-α-D-Man-(1→3)-[α-D-Man-(1→2)-α-D-Man-(1→3)-[α-D-Man-(1→2)-α-D-Man-(1→6)]-α-D-Man-(1→6)]-β-D-Man-(1→4)-β-D-GlcNAc-(1→4)-α-D-GlcNAc}-N-Asn-[protein]

Other name(s): MAN1B1 (gene name); MNS1 (gene name); MNS3 (gene name)
Systematic name: Man9GlcNAc2-[protein]2-α-mannohydrolase (configuration-inverting)
Comments: The enzyme, located in the endoplasmic reticulum, primarily trims a single α-1,2-linked mannose residue from Man9GlcNAc2 to produce Man8GlcNAc2 isomer 8A1,2,3B1,3 (the names of the isomers listed here are based on a nomenclature system proposed by Prien et al [7]). The removal of the single mannosyl residue occurs in all eukaryotes as part of the processing of N-glycosylated proteins, and is absolutely essential for further elongation of the outer chain of properly-folded N-glycosylated proteins in yeast. In addition, the enzyme is involved in glycoprotein quality control at the ER quality control compartment (ERQC), helping to target misfolded glycoproteins for degradation. When present at very high concentrations in the ERQC, the enzyme can trim the carbohydrate chain further to Man(5-6)GlcNAc2.

EC 3.2.1.210     
Accepted name: endoplasmic reticulum Man8GlcNAc2 1,2-α-mannosidase
Reaction: Man8GlcNAc2-[protein] (isomer 8A1,2,3B1,3) + H2O = Man7GlcNAc2-[protein] (isomer 7A1,2,3B3) + D-mannopyranose
Glossary: Man8GlcNAc2-[protein] (isomer 8A1,2,3B1,3) = {α-D-Man-(1→2)-α-D-Man-(1→2)-α-D-Man-(1→3)-[α-D-Man-(1→3)-[α-D-Man-(1→2)-α-D-Man-(1→6)]-α-D-Man-(1→6)]-β-D-Man-(1→4)-β-D-GlcNAc-(1→4)-α-D-GlcNAc}-N-Asn-[protein]

Other name(s): MNL1 (gene name)
Systematic name: Man8GlcNAc2-[protein] 2-α-mannohydrolase (configuration-inverting)
Comments: In yeast this activity is catalysed by a dedicated enzyme that processes unfolded protein-bound Man8GlcNAc2 N-glycans within the endoplasmic reticulum to Man7GlcNAc2. The exposed α-1,6-linked mannose residue in the product enables the recognition by the YOS9 lectin, targeting the proteins for degradation. In mammalian cells this activity is part of the regular processing of N-glycosylated proteins, and is not associated with protein degradation. It is carried out by EC 3.2.1.113, Golgi mannosyl-oligosaccharide 1,2-α-mannosidase. The names of the isomers listed here are based on a nomenclature system proposed by Prien et al [5].

Accepted name: chitin disaccharide deacetylase
Reaction: N,N′-diacetylchitobiose + H2O = N-acetyl-β-D-glucosaminyl-(1→4)-D-glucosamine + acetate
Glossary: N,N′-diacetylchitobiose = N-acetyl-β-D-glucosaminyl-(1→4)-N-acetyl-D-glucosamine
Other name(s): chitobiose amidohydolase; COD; chitin oligosaccharide deacetylase; chitin oligosaccharide amidohydolase; 2-(acetylamino)-4-O-[2-(acetylamino)-2-deoxy-β-D-glucopyranosyl]-2-deoxy-D-glucopyranose acetylhydrolase
Systematic name: N,N′-diacetylchitobiose acetylhydrolase
Comments: Chitin oligosaccharide deacetylase is a key enzyme in the chitin catabolic cascade of chitinolytic Vibrio strains. Besides being a nutrient, the heterodisaccharide product 4-O-(N-acetyl-β-D-glucosaminyl)-D-glucosamine is a unique inducer of chitinase production in Vibrio parahemolyticus [2]. In contrast to EC 3.5.1.41 (chitin deacetylase) this enzyme is specific for the chitin disaccharide [1,3]. It also deacetylates the chitin trisaccharide with lower efficiency [3]. No activity with higher polymers of GlcNAc [1,3].

Accepted name: glucosamine-6-phosphate deaminase
Reaction: α-D-glucosamine 6-phosphate + H2O = D-fructose 6-phosphate + NH3
For diagram of UDP-N-acetylglucosamine biosynthesis, click here
Glossary: α-D-glucosamine 6-phosphate = 2-amino-2-deoxy-α-D-glucopyranose 6-phosphate
Other name(s): glucosaminephosphate isomerase (ambiguous); glucosamine-6-phosphate isomerase (ambiguous); phosphoglucosaminisomerase (ambiguous); glucosamine phosphate deaminase; aminodeoxyglucosephosphate isomerase (ambiguous); phosphoglucosamine isomerase (ambiguous); 2-amino-2-deoxy-D-glucose-6-phosphate aminohydrolase (ketol isomerizing)
Systematic name: 2-amino-2-deoxy-α-D-glucose-6-phosphate aminohydrolase (ketol isomerizing)
Comments: The enzyme uses ring opening and isomerization of the aldose-ketose type to convert the -CH(-NH2)-CH=O group of glucosamine 6-phosphate into -C(=NH)-CH2-OH, forming 2-deoxy-2-imino-D-arabino-hexitol, which then hydrolyses to yield fructose 6-phosphate and ammonia. N-Acetyl-D-glucosamine 6-phosphate, which is not broken down, activates the enzyme.

Systematic name: 6-(α-D-glucosaminyl)-1-phosphatidyl-1D-myo-inositol 1,2-diacyl-sn-glycerol-lyase [6-(α-D-glucosaminyl)-1D-myo-inositol 1,2-cyclic phosphate-forming]
Comments: This enzyme is also active when O-4 of the glucosamine is substituted by carrying the oligosaccharide that can link a protein to the structure. It therefore cleaves proteins from the lipid part of the glycosylphostphatidylinositol (GPI) anchors. In some cases, the long-chain acyl group at the sn-1 position of glycerol is replaced by an alkyl or alk-1-enyl group. In other cases, the diacylglycerol is replaced by ceramide (see Lip-1.4 and Lip-1.5 for definition). The only characterized enzyme with this specificity is from Trypanosoma brucei, where the acyl groups are myristoyl, but the function of the trypanosome enzyme is unknown. Substitution on O-2 of the inositol blocks action of this enzyme. It is not identical with EC 3.1.4.50, glycosylphosphatidylinositol phospholipase D.

Other name(s): Aslfm; UDP-MurNAc-pentapeptide:D-aspartate ligase; D-aspartic acid-activating enzyme
Systematic name: D-aspartate:[β-GlcNAc-(1→4)-Mur2Ac(oyl-L-Ala-γ-D-Glu-L-Lys-D-Ala-D-Ala)]n ligase (ADP-forming)
Comments: This enzyme forms part of the peptidoglycan assembly pathway of Gram-positive bacteria grown in medium containing D-Asp. Normally, the side chains the acylate the 6-amino group of the L-lysine residue contain L-Ala-L-Ala but these amino acids are replaced by D-Asp when D-Asp is included in the medium. Hybrid chains containing L-Ala-D-Asp, L-Ala-L-Ala-D-Asp or D-Asp-L-Ala are not formed [4]. The enzyme belongs in the ATP-grasp protein superfamily [3,4]. The enzyme is highly specific for D-aspartate, as L-aspartate, D-glutamate, D-alanine, D-iso-asparagine and D-malic acid are not substrates [4]. In Enterococcus faecium, the substrate D-aspartate is produced by EC 5.1.1.13, aspartate racemase [4]

Glossary: mycothiol = 1-O-[2-(N2-acetyl-L-cysteinamido)-2-deoxy--D-glucopyranosyl]-1D-myo-inositol
Other name(s): MshC; MshC ligase; Cys:GlcN-Ins ligase; mycothiol ligase
Systematic name: L-cysteine:1-O-(2-amino-2-deoxy-α-D-glucopyranosyl)-1D-myo-inositol ligase (AMP-forming)
Comments: This enzyme is a key enzyme in the biosynthesis of mycothiol, a small molecular weight thiol found in Mycobacteria spp. and other actinomycetes. Mycothiol plays a fundamental role in these organisms by helping to provide protection from the effects of reactive oxygen species and electrophiles, including many antibiotics. The enzyme may represent a novel target for new classes of antituberculars [2].

Comments: The enzyme complex, found in Gram-positive bacteria, consists of two subunits. A glutaminase subunit (cf. EC 3.5.1.2, glutaminase) produces an ammonia molecule that is channeled to a ligase subunit, which adds it to the activated D-glutamate residue of lipid II, converting it to an isoglutamine residue.
