The enzyme from Streptococcus Group A and Group C requires Mg2+. The enzyme adds GlcNAc to nascent hyaluronan when the non-reducing end is GlcA, but it adds GlcA when the non-reducing end is GlcNAc . The enzyme is highly specific for UDP-GlcNAc and UDP-GlcA; no copolymerization is observed if either is replaced by UDP-Glc, UDP-Gal, UDP-GalNAc or UDP-GalA. Similar enzymes have been found in a variety of organisms.

Alternating UDP-alpha-N-acetyl-D-glucosamine:beta-D-glucuronosyl-(1->3)-[nascent hyaluronan] 4-N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminyltransferase and UDP-alpha-D-glucuronate:N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminyl-(1->4)-[nascent hyaluronan] 3-beta-D-glucuronosyltransferase
The enzyme from Streptococcus Group A and Group C requires Mg2+. The enzyme adds GlcNAc to nascent hyaluronan when the non-reducing end is GlcA, but it adds GlcA when the non-reducing end is GlcNAc [3]. The enzyme is highly specific for UDP-GlcNAc and UDP-GlcA; no copolymerization is observed if either is replaced by UDP-Glc, UDP-Gal, UDP-GalNAc or UDP-GalA. Similar enzymes have been found in a variety of organisms.
chains growth at the non-reducing end, which is terminated by lack of substrate with a non-reducing end, active with exogenously added acceptors substrates
the product chain length can grow at the reducing end up to 40000 monosaccharides with a MW of over 8 million Da before it is released by the class I enzyme
Pasteurella multocida hyaluronan synthase encompasses two transferase domains that elongate a growing hyaluronan oligosaccharide chain by addition of either GlcNAc or GlcUA residues from a corresponding UDP-sugar
a monodispersed hyaluronan chain can be obtained by finely tuning the reaction stoichiometry. The molar ratio of precursors and acceptor molecules has an important role in enzyme kinetics
initial velocity studies of single-step elongations are conducted for both domains by independently varying the concentrations of the hyaluronan oligosaccharide and the UDP-sugar. Two-substrate models are discriminated by their goodness-of-fit parameters and by dead-end inhibition studies. Coupled-enzyme assay using LDH, PK; NADH and phosphoenolpyruvate, as well as hyaluronan oligosaccharides, UDP-GlcNAc and UDP-GlcUA, overview
enzyme is responsible for hyaluronan biosynthesis, the hyaluronan capsule is an important, but not the only, virulence factor, physiological role of the enzyme
PmHAS elongates a range of acceptor molecules in addition to the cognate sugars. Certain glycosaminoglycans are very poor acceptors in comparison to the cognate molecules, but elongated products are detected. The interaction between the acceptor and the enzyme (a) the orientation of the hydroxyl at the C-4 position of the hexosamine is not critical, (b) the conformation of C-5 of the hexuronic acid (glucuronic versus iduronic) is not crucial, and (c) additional negative sulfate groups are well tolerated in certain cases, such as on C-6 of the hexosamine, but others, including C-4 sulfates, are not or are poorly tolerated

coactivation occurs if K+ is applied together with Mn2+ or Mg2+. With Mn2+, a high UDP reaction rate and high molecular mass of hyaluronic acid (2.45 MDa after 8 h) are achieved. With Mg2+, a low reaction rate and low molecular mass (1.55 MDa after 8 h) are reached. If 10 mM K+ are added to 15 mM Mg2+, a significant increase of the reaction rate by a factor of 2.7 is observed, and the molecular mass is doubled (3.11 MDa after 8 h). The coactivating effect of K+ together with Mn2+ is less pronounced
Mn2+ is the preferred metal ion with an optimum of 10 mM. Presence of Mn2+ induces a concentration-dependent decomposition of UDP-GlcA to its 1,2-cyclic phosphate and UMP, especially promoted at basic pH
structural and kinetic analysis and modeling, both NAc- and UA-transferase domains follow a sequential kinetic mechanism, most likely an ordered one in which the UDP-sugar donor binds first, followed by the HA oligosaccharide. After transfer of the sugar moiety, both products are released, first the elongated HA oligosaccharide and then the UDP sugar. A mechanistic shift from a steady-state ordered bi-bi to rapid equilibrium ordered bi-bi mechanism is observed at the NAc-site between the HA6 and HA8 elongation, detailed overview

multi-enzyme strategy for the in vitro one-pot synthesis of high-molecular-weight hyaluronic acid from substrates sucrose and N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) with in situ regeneration of nucleotide sugars. With optimized reaction conditions, hyaluronic acid with a molecular mass above 2 MDa is synthesized from catalytic UDP concentrations and 10 mM GlcNAc in less than 10 h
a rapid, continuous, and convenient three-enzyme coupled UV absorption assay is developed to quantitate the glucuronic acid and N-acetylglucosamine transferase activities of hyaluronan synthase. Activity is measured by coupling the UDP produced from the PmHAS-catalyzed transfer of UDP-GlcNAc and UDP-GlcUA to a hyaluronic acid tetrasaccharide primer with the oxidation of NADH. Using a fluorescently labeled primer, the products are characterized by gel electrophoresis. The assay can be used to determine kinetic parameters, inhibition constants, and mechanistic aspects of this enzyme. In addition, it can be used to quantify PmHAS during purification of the enzyme from culture media
it may be possible to generate compounds that will selectively inhibit the binding of hyaluronan to one particular hyaladherin species without perturbing other species. Such sugar molecules may have future utility as selective therapeutics with minimal side effects for diseases such as cancer, autoimmune disease, inflammation, and infection
