additional information | analysis of acceptor and donor substrate specificity, product analysis by gel filtration, overview. No substantial incorporation of radiolabeled [3H]GlcA into polymer is observed if UDP-GalNAc is omitted, although very low incorporation is detected when UDP-GlcNAc, the C4 epimer used as an HA polymer donor, is substituted for UDP-GalNAc. The recombinant enzyme shows negligible activity with UDP-Glc and UDP-Gal, and no activity with UDP-GlcA and UDP-GalA. The enzyme shows no de novo initiation of chondroitin sulfate synthesis. It is active with the cognate chondroitin tetrasaccharide acceptor. The Chlorobium CpCS enzyme readily extends hyaluronan or heparosan with longer chondroitin chains | Chlorobium phaeobacteroides | ? | - |

evolution | the enzyme belongs to the GH family 2. The sequence from the photosynthetic green sulfur bacteria, Chlorobium phaeobacteroides DSM 266, which is very similar (about 62% identical) to the open reading frames of known bifunctional chondroitin synthases (Pasteurella multocida PmCS and Escherichia coli KfoC) some segments are strikingly conserved amongst the three proteins. Recombinant Escherichia coli-derived Chlorobium enzyme preparations are found to possess bona fide chondroitin synthase activity in vitro. This catalyst, CpCS, has a more promiscuous acceptor usage than the prototypical PmCS, which may be of utility in novel chimeric GAG syntheses. The finding of such a similar chondroitin synthase enzyme in Chlorobium phaeobacteroides is unexpected for several reasons including (a) a free-living nonpathogenic organism should not require an animal self molecule for protection, (b) the Proteobacteria and the green sulfur bacterial lineages diverged 2.5-3 billion years ago and (c) the ecological niches of these bacteria are not thought to overlap substantially to facilitate horizontal gene transfer. But this Chlorobium has somehow acquired the gene via horizontal gene transfer as the probability of such close functional evolutionary convergence seems a less likely alternative | Chlorobium phaeobacteroides |
