Biochem/physiol Actions

4-Nitrophenyl N-acetyl-α-D-galactosaminide serves as a chromogenic synthetic substrate for lysosomal enzyme α-N-acetylgalactosaminidase to perform enzyme assays. Upon cleavage the substrate forms a yellow color solution of p-nitrophenol that can be measured at 400nm at pH 10.6.

This paper presents a new assay to determine the activity of the lysosomal enzyme α-N-acetylgalactosaminidase (Naga, EC 3.2.1.49) in human serum. It is based on the use of a new chromogenic substrate, DNP-α-GalNAc (2,4-dinitrophenyl-N-acetyl-α-D-galactosaminide) and is performed at pH 4.3 and

When cultured in broth, fresh clinical isolates of the gram-negative periodontal pathogen Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans form tenaciously adherent biofilm colonies on surfaces such as plastic and glass. These biofilm colonies release adherent cells into the medium, and the released cells can

We have previously demonstrated a marked change in sugar moieties of glycoproteins of the cuticle of the blue crab, Callinectes sapidus, between 0.5 and 3 h post-ecdysis. The present study has identified a glycosidase that appears in the cuticle during

Chick embryo chondrocyte microsomes containing intact Golgi vesicles took up 3'-phosphoadenosine-5'-phospho[35S]sulfate ([35S]PAPS) in a time- and temperature-dependent, substrate-saturable manner. When [35S]PAPS and p-nitrophenyl-N-acetyl-beta-D-galactosaminide (pNP-GalNAc) were added to the incubation in the absence of detergent, the microsomes catalyzed the transfer of

The beta-N-acetylhexosaminidase from Aspergillus oryzae catalysed the transfer of beta-D-N-acetylgalactosaminyl residues from p-nitrophenyl beta-D-N-acetylglucosaminide on to disaccharide acceptors consisting of thioethyl glycosides of alpha-D-Glc-(1-->4)-beta-D-Glc, beta-D-Glc-(1-->4)-beta-D-Glc and beta-D-Glc-(1-->6)-beta-D-Glc. The principle of 'anomeric control' was exemplified by the results which showed that
