β-N-Acetylhexosaminidases (CAZy GH20, EC 3.2.1.52) are exo-glycosidases specific for cleaving N-acetylglucosamine and N-acetylgalactosamine moieties of various substrates. The β-N-acetylhexosaminidase from the filamentous fungus Talaromyces flavus (TfHex), a model enzyme in this study, has a broad substrate flexibility and outstanding synthetic ability. We have designed and characterized seven glycosynthase-type variants of TfHex mutated at the catalytic aspartate residue that stabilizes the oxazoline reaction intermediate. Most of the obtained enzyme variants lost the majority of their original hydrolytic activity towards the standard substrate p-nitrophenyl 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-β-D-glucopyranoside (pNP-β-GlcNAc); moreover, the mutants were not active with the proposed glycosynthase donor 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-d-glucopyranosyl-α-fluoride (GlcNAc-α-F) either as would be expected in a glycosynthase. Importantly, the mutant enzymes instead retained a strong transglycosylation activity towards the standard substrate pNP-β-GlcNAc. In summary, five out of seven prepared TfHex variants bearing mutation at the catalytic Asp370 residue acted as efficient transglycosidases, which makes them excellent tools for the synthesis of chitooligosaccharides, with the advantage of processing an inexpensive, stable and commercially available pNP-β-GlcNAc.
