Abstract excerpt
Three large (2084-, 984-, and 2104-amino acids) endo-α-N-acetylgalactosaminidase candidate genes from the commensal human gut bacterium Tyzzerella nexilis were successfully cloned and subsequently expressed in Escherichia coli. Activity tests of the purified proteins revealed that two of the candidate genes (Tn0153 and Tn2105) were able to hydrolyze the disaccharide unit from Galβ1-3GalNAc-α-pNP. The biochemical...
