Recombinant R. gnavus alpha‑L‑Fucosidase His-tag Protein Enzyme Activity Diagram.

Recombinant R. gnavus alpha-L-Fucosidase His-tag Protein, CF (Catalog # 11385-GH) has specificity for both Lewis A ( alpha4) and Lewis X ( alpha3) link fucose. Sialyation of Lewis A or Lewis X does not affect the substrate recognition of alpha-L-fucosidase.

Recombinant R. gnavus alpha‑L‑Fucosidase His-tag Protein SDS-PAGE.

2 μg/lane of Recombinant R. gnavus alpha‑L‑Fucosidase His-tag Protein (Catalog # 11385-GH) was resolved with SDS-PAGE under reducing (R) and non-reducing (NR) conditions and visualized by Coomassie® Blue staining, showing bands at 62-68 kDa under reducing conditions.

Recombinant R. gnavus alpha‑L‑Fucosidase His-tag Protein Enzyme Activity.

Lane 1 contained fluorescent substrate glycan Cy5-Fuc labeled Lewis X. Following treatment with Recombinant R. gnavus alpha-L-Fucosidase His-tag Protein, CF (Catalog # 11385-GH) both alpha3 linked Fucose on GlcNAc were removed and a mobility shift was observed. SDS-PAGE gel was imaged using the red fluorescent channel.

Background: alpha-L-Fucosidase

Recombinant R. gnavus alpha-L-Fucosidase His-tag ( alpha-L-Fuc) catalyzes the hydrolysis of terminal alpha-L-Fucose. alpha-L-Fuc is monomeric and consists of two distinct domains, an N-terminal catalytic domain comprising residues 46-366 and a C-terminal F5/8 Type C domain covering residues 385-526 (1). Residues 23-45 wrap around the C-terminal beta-sandwich domain (1). R. gnavus is an early colonizer of the human gut but persists in healthy adults (2-3). An increasing number of studies are reporting a disproportionate representation of R. gnavus in diseases, such as inflammatory bowel disease (4). To access a source of nutrients, gut bacteria encode alpha-L-fucosidases that catalyze the hydrolysis of terminal alpha-L-fucosidic linkages. alpha-L-Fuc has the capacity to recognize fucosylated glycans and to hydrolyze both alpha1-3 (Lewis X) and alpha1–4 (Lewis A) fucosyl linkages although the preferred substrate is sialyated Lewis X epitope (1). This fucosidase specificity can potentially be exploited for use in human disease diagnostic assays, as a tool to identify N-glycan biomarkers of disease, and for glycoprofiling biopharmaceutical glycoproteins. The activity of alpha-L-Fuc is demonstrated in an electrophoretic gel mobility shift assay using a fluorophore-labeled glycan Cy5-Fuc labeled Lewis X as the substrate (5).
