This enzyme is useful for enzymatic determination of N-acetylneuraminic acid and sialic acid when coupled with the related enzymes in clinical analysis. For industrial use, this enzyme is useful for enzymatic synthesis of sialic acid.
Used in the Sialic Acid Quantification Kit, SIALIC-Q

Sialic acid aldolases or N-acetylneuraminate lyases (NanAs) catalyze the reversible aldol cleavage of N-acetylneuraminic acid (Neu5Ac) to form pyruvate and N-acetyl-D: -mannosamine (ManNAc). A capillary electrophoresis assay was developed to directly characterize the activities of NanAs in both Neu5Ac cleavage

To obtain the Escherichia coli strains expressing N-Acetyl-D-neuraminic acid aldolase (Neu5Ac aldolase). The gene (nanA) coding Neu5Ac aldolase was cloned from Escherichia coli C600, and the recombinant plasmid was sequenced and expressed in Escherichia coli. Sequencing data revealed that the
YagE is a 33 kDa prophage protein encoded by CP4-6 prophage element in Escherichia coli K12 genome. Here, we report the structures of YagE complexes with pyruvate (PDB Id 3N2X) and KDGal (2-keto-3-deoxy galactonate) (PDB Id 3NEV) at 2.2A resolution.

The propensity of a recombinant protein produced in bacteria to aggregate has been assumed to be unpredictable, and inclusion bodies have been thought of as wasted cell material. However, a target protein can be purposely driven to inclusion bodies, which

N-acetylneuraminic acid (Neu5Ac, sialic acid) could provide a good substrate for enteropathogenic bacteria in the intestine, when the bacteria invade and colonize in human gut. In order to analyze the role of Neu5Ac catabolism in Vibrio vulnificus pathogenesis, a mutant
