peptidoglycan-N-acetylglucosamine amidohydrolase
Modification of peptidoglycan by N-deacetylation is an important factor in virulence of Helicobacter pylori, Listeria monocytogenes and Streptococcus suis [4-6]. The enzyme from Streptococcus pneumoniae is a metalloenzyme using a His-His-Asp zinc-binding triad with a nearby aspartic acid and histidine acting as the catalytic base and acid, respectively [3].
the enzyme catalyzes the removal of the acetyl group from the C2 atom of N-acetylglucosamine, which is a constituent of the peptidoglycan found in the cell walls of many bacteria
Helicobacter pylori is highly resistant to lysozyme (up to 50 mg/ml), but the HP310 mutant is less resistant compared with the parent strain. The peptidoglycan deacetylation appears to confer lysozyme resistance to escape immunedetection
peptidoglycan consists of alternating N-acetylglucosamine and N-acetylmuramic acid residues connected by beta-1,4 bonds and cross-linked via short peptide bridges

the zinc ion of the metalloenzyme is coordinated by a conserved binding triad of amino acids consisting of one aspartate and two histidine residues, determination of the metal-binding site, which is essential for the enzyme's catalytic activity, one metal site per monomer, structure and quantum chemical calculations of models, overview. The metal ion occupies a tetrahedral environment with binding to one of the carboxylic oxygen of Asp14, His86, His90 and a water molecule
metal site models show an intrinsic preference for zinc, but also significant flexibility of the site so that binding of other ions can eventually occur, e.g. Fe2+, Co2+, Cu2+, Mg2+, quantum chemical calculations, overview

catalytic mechanism possibilities analyzed using the mechanism of reaction of acetyl removal from a model substrate, the N-acetylglucosamine/N-acetylmuramic acid dimer by peptidogylcan deacetylase. Analysis via hybrid quantum chemical/molecular mechanical potential calculations (QC/MM), in conjunction with reaction-path-finding algorithms, molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulations, overview. The active site of this enzyme is in a region of highly negative electrostatic potential and contains a zinc dication with a bound water molecule

Helicobacter pylori is equipped with a peptidoglycan deacetylase (PgdA) that confers both pure peptidoglycan and whole bacterial resistance to lysozyme degradation, which hydrolyzes the beta-1,4 bonds in peptidoglycan. Under oxidative stress, PgdA is highly expressed and confers resistance to lysozyme in wild-type cells. Role of aconitase (AcnB) in Helicobacter pylori as a posttranscriptional regulator of the cell wall-modifying enzyme peptidoglycan deacetylase PgdA, apo-AcnB directly interacts with the pgdA transcript to enhance stability and increase deacetylase enzyme expression, which impacts in vivo survival
