Endo-beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase (ENGase) hydrolyzes the N-N'-diacetylchitobiosyl core of N-glycosylproteins. The beta-1,4-glycosyl bond located between two N-acetylglucosamine residues is hydrolyzed such that N-acetylglucosamine 1 remains with the protein and N-acetylglucosamine 2 forms the reducing end of the released glycan. ENGase is a key enzyme in the processing of free oligosaccharides in the cytosol of eukaryotes. Oligosaccharides formed in the lumen of the endoplasmic reticulum are transported into the cytosol where they are catabolized by cytosolic ENGases and other enzymes, possibly to maximize the reutilization of the component sugars. ENGases have an eight-stranded alpha/beta barrel topology and are classified as a family 85 glycosyl hydrolase (GH85) domain. The GH85 ENGases are sequence-similar to the family 18 glycosyl hydrolases, also known as GH18 chitinases. An ENGase-like protein is also found in bacteria and is included in this alignment model.

Tips:  If you've navigated here from a protein, hovering over a position on the weblogo will display the corresponding protein position for that domain position. The histograms below the weblogo indicate mutations found on the domain. Red is for disease (OMIM) and blue is for SNPs. Functional Features are displayed as orange boxes under the histograms. You can choose which features are displayed in the box below. Range on the Protein: Protein ID Protein Position Domain Position:
