== Function ==
[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/HEXC_OSTFU HEXC_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).<ref>PMID:18959754</ref> <ref>PMID:21106526</ref>

== Publication Abstract from PubMed ==
The chemical similarity of cellulose and chitin supports the idea that their corresponding hydrolytic enzymes would bind beta-1,4-linked glucose residues in a similar manner. A structural and mutational analysis was performed for the plant cellulolytic enzyme BGlu1 from Oryza sativa and the insect chitinolytic enzyme OfHex1 from Ostrinia furnacalis. Although BGlu1 shows little amino-acid sequence or topological similarity with OfHex1, three residues (Trp(490), Glu(328), Val(327) in OfHex1, and Trp(358), Tyr(131) and Ile(179) in BGlu1) were identified as being conserved in the +1 sugar binding site. OfHex1 Glu(328) together with Trp(490) was confirmed to be necessary for substrate binding. The mutant E328A exhibited a 8-fold increment in K(m) for (GlcNAc)(2) and a 42-fold increment in K(i) for TMG-chitotriomycin. A crystal structure of E328A in complex with TMG-chitotriomycin was resolved at 2.5 A, revealing the obvious conformational changes of the catalytic residues (Glu(368) and Asp(367)) and the absence of the hydrogen bond between E328A and the C3-OH of the +1 sugar. V327G exhibited the same activity as the wild-type, but acquired the ability to efficiently hydrolyse beta-1,2-linked GlcNAc in contrast to the wild-type. Thus, Glu(328) and Val(327) were identified as important for substrate-binding and as glycosidic-bond determinants. A structure-based sequence alignment confirmed the spatial conservation of these three residues in most plant cellulolytic, insect and bacterial chitinolytic enzymes.
