General description

Neuraminidase 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.

Specificity

Cleaves terminal sialic-acid residues that are α2,3-, α2,6-, or α2,8-linked to Gal, GlcNAc, GalNAc, AcNeu, GlcNeu, oligosaccharides, glycolipids, or glycoproteins. Relative rate of cleavage is α2,6 >α2,3 >α2,8, determined on bonds in tri- and tetrasaccharides.

Application

  • cell surface lectin array analysis.
  • hemagglutination assays.
  • cell adhesion assay.

Neuraminidase has been used for the:
  • detection of the cell surface glycosylations in human anaplastic large cell lymphoma cells
  • release of sialic acid from cells
  • antibody-overlay lectin microarray

Dendritic cell immunoreceptor (DCIR) is a C-type lectin receptor with a carbohydrate recognition domain and an immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibitory motif. Previously, we showed that Dcir-/- mice spontaneously develop autoimmune enthesitis and sialadenitis, and also develop metabolic bone abnormalities. However, the
