Full crystallographic information is available from OCA. For a guided tour on the structure components use FirstGlance. Ligands: ACT, BMA, GOL, MAN, NAG Gene: HYAL1, LUCA1 (HUMAN) Activity: Hydrolase, with EC number 3.2.1.35 Resources: FirstGlance, OCA, PDBe, RCSB, PDBsum, ProSAT Disease [HYAL1_HUMAN] Defects in HYAL1 are the cause of mucopolysaccharidosis type 9 (MPS9) [MIM:601492]; also called hyaluronidase deficiency. MPS9 is a lysosomal storage disease characterized by high hyaluronan (HA) concentration in the serum. The clinical features are periarticular soft tissue masses, mild short stature and acetabular erosions, and absence of neurological or visceral involvement. Function [HYAL1_HUMAN] May have a role in promoting tumor progression. May block the TGFB1-enhanced cell growth. Evolutionary Conservation Check, as determined by ConSurfDB.

Publication Abstract from PubMed Mammalian hyaluronidases hydrolyze hyaluronan, a polysaccharide of diverse physiological roles found in all tissues and body fluids. In addition to its function in normal cellular hyaluronan turnover, human hyaluronidase-1 is implicated in cancer proliferation, angiogenesis, and inflammatory diseases; its expression is up-regulated in advanced stages of bladder cancer, whereas the expression of the alternative splice-variants is down-regulated. The crystal structure reveals a molecule composed of two closely associated domains: a catalytic domain that adopts a distorted (beta/alpha)8 barrel resembling that of bee venom hyaluronidase, and a novel, EGF-like domain, characteristic of involvement in protein-protein interactions and regulatory processes. The structure shows that the fold of this unique EGF-like domain is intact in four alternative splice-variants, whereas the catalytic domain is likely to be unfolded. Thus, these variants may function by competing with the full-length enzyme for the putative protein partner and regulating enzymatic activity in healthy cells.
