Cleavage of non-reducing alpha-(1->3)-N-acetylgalactosamine residues from human blood group A and AB mucin glycoproteins, Forssman hapten and blood group A lacto series glycolipids
a hydride at C3, activated by the interaction of the OH-3 hydroxyl with the conserved His228, is abstracted by NAD+ with oxidation of the OH-3 hydroxyl to a ketone. This activates H2 for proton abstraction by Tyr179, accompanied by elimination of the aglycone, thereby generating a 1,2-unsaturated intermediate. Water is then added to the anomeric center, followed by the reduction of the C3 ketone by the on-board NADH, completing the catalytic sequence and restoring NADH to NAD+ and the enzyme to its starting state to bind another substrate

enzyme efficiently cleaves blood group A antigen. Unusual catalytic mechanism involving NAD+. NagA might adopt a mechanism similar to that of glycosyl hydrolase family 4 enzymes utilizing an oxidation-elimination-addition-reduction sequence
comparison of the binding ability of alpha-N-acetylgalactosaminidase with red blood cells in different reaction buffers, such as normal saline, phosphate-buffered saline, a disodium hydrogen phosphate-based buffer, and 5% commercial glucose solution. Glucose buffer is suitable for blood group conversion with alpha-N acetylgalactosaminidase

native enzyme and in complex with alpha-N-acetylgalactosamine, to 2.3 and 2.4 A resolution, respectively. Each monomer of NagA consists of two closely associated domains, forming a narrow tunnel in which the NAD+ molecule is anchored. The NAD+ is embedded within a narrow tunnel, almost exclusively shielded from solvent. It is bound with its diphosphate group oriented towards the N-terminus of the first alpha-helix of the N-terminal dinucleotide-binding domain and has both the adenine ring and the nicotinamide ring in the anti conformation. No major structural changes are observed in NagA upon product binding
