Structure and kinetic investigation of Streptococcus pyogenes family GH38 alpha-mannosidase. by Michael D L Suits, Yanping Zhu, Edward J Taylor, Julia Walton, David L Zechel, Harry J Gilbert, Gideon J Davies

“…Considerable research has probed the role of higher eukaryotic "GH38" alpha-mannosides that play a key role in the modification and diversification of hybrid N-glycans; processes with strong cellular links to cancer and autoimmune disease. The most extensively studied of these enzymes is the Drosophila GH38 alpha-mannosidase II, which has been shown to be a retaining alpha-mannosidase that targets both alpha-1,3 and alpha-1,6 mannosyl linkages, an activity that enables the enzyme to process GlcNAc(Man)(5)(GlcNAc)(2) hybrid N-glycans to GlcNAc(Man)(3)(GlcNAc)(2). …”
