The CPS of enteropathogenic Escherichia coli K92 is a unique sialic acid polymer (polySia) with alternating alpha2,8- and alpha2,9-linkages. This CPS can be digested by the gene 143 encoded endosialidase of bacteriophage phi92. Here we report the crystal structure of the phi92 endosialidase in complex with a dimer of alpha2,9-linked sialic acid and analyze its catalytic functions. Unlike the well characterized and homologous endosialidase of phage K1F, the phi92 endosialidase is a bifunctional enzyme with high activity against alpha2,8- and low activity against alpha2,9-linkages in a polySia chain. Moreover, in contrast to the processive K1F endosialidase, the phi92 endosialidase degrades the polymer in a non-processive mode. Beyond describing the first endosialidase with alpha2,9-specificity, our data introduce a novel platform for studies of endosialidase regioselectivity and for engineering highly active alpha2,9-specific enzymes.
