General description
Approximately 40 U/mg enzyme protein at 37 °C and pH 5.5, with N-acetyl-neuraminosyl-D-lactose as the substrate.
Neuraminidase is an acylneuraminyl hydrolase which hydrolyzes terminal N- or O-acylneuraminic acids which are α2,3-, α2,6-, or α2,8-linked (rate: α2,6 > α2,3 > α2,8) to oligosaccharides, polysaccharides, mucopolysaccharides, glycoproteins, and glycolipids. Noteworthy, for the hydrolysis of glycolipids, the presence of a detergent is necessary. Because of the broad substrate specificity, the enzyme is very well suited for the complete removal of sialic acids from glycoconjugates of a wide variety of biological materials (e.g., in cytology, on cell surfaces, viruses etc.).
Specificity
Hydrolyzes terminal N- or O-acyl-neuraminic acids that are α2,3-, α2,6-, or α2,8-linked to galactose, Hex, NAc, or N- or O-acylated neuraminyl residues in oligosaccharides/glycoconjugates or colominic acid. Relative rate of cleavage is α2,3 >α2,6 >α2,8, determined on bonds in tri- and tetrasaccharides.
Application
Neuraminidase has been used:
- to remove cis-acting sialic acids in CHO (chinese hamster ovary) cells
- for deglycosylation studies
Unit Definition
One unit is the enzyme activity that hydrolyzes 1 μmol N-acetyl-neuraminosyl-D-lactose within 1 min at +37 °C under the following incubation conditions:
10 mM N-acetyl-neuraminosyl-D-lactose, 50 mM sodium acetate, 4 mM calcium chloride, bovine serum albumin, 100 μg/ml, pH 5.5. The activity is determined by measuring the released D-lactose using the β-galactosidase/galactose dehydrogenase method. Under the same conditions, 1 μmol N-acetylneuraminic acid per min is split off from human acid α1-glycoprotein (10 mg/ml incubation mixture) by 1 U neuraminidase. Released N-acetyl-neuraminic acid can be determined using, for example, the thiobarbituric acid method.
