Structural highlights
FunctionHEXC_OSTFU Hydrolyzes one beta-GlcNAc unit at a time from the non-reducing ends of substrates, with a preference for shorter substrates. The 2-acetamido group and the beta-glycoside bond linkage in the substrate are required for its activity. Active with p-nitrophenyl (pNP)-beta-GlcNAc, pNP-beta-GalNAc and chitooligosaccharides (degree of polymerization from 2 to 6), but not with the complex N-glycan substrate (GlcNAcbeta-1,2Manalpha-1,6)(GlcNAcbeta-1,2Manalpha-1,3)Manbeta-1,4GlcNAcbeta-1,4GlcNAc-PA (GnGn-PA), pNP-alpha-GlcNAc or with the long polymer colloidal chitin. Involved in chitin catabolism (PubMed:18959754). Involved in the degradation of old cuticle during the pupation stage (PubMed:21106526).[1] [2] See AlsoReferences
