Mutagenesis of the conserved tyrosine (Y370) of the Micromonospora viridifaciens sialidaseto small amino acids changes the mechanism of catalysis from retention of anomeric configuration toinversion [Watson, J. N., et al. (2003) Biochemistry 42, 12682-12690]. For the Y370G mutant enzyme-catalyzed hydrolysis of a series of aryl sialosides and 3'-sialyllactose, the derived Brnsted parameters(lg) on kcat and kcat/Km are -0.63 ± 0.05 and -0.80 ± 0.08, respectively. Thus, for the Y370G enzyme,glycosidic C-O bond cleavage is rate-determining. Analysis of the activity of the Y370G mutant andwild-type enzymes against a substrate [3,4-dihydro-2H-pyrano[3,2-c]pyridinium -D-N-acetylneuraminide(DHP-Neu5Ac)] whose hydrolysis cannot be accelerated by acid catalysis is consistent with these reactionsproceeding via SN1 and SN2 mechanisms, respectively. The overall structure of the Y370G mutant sialidaseactive site is very similar to the previously reported wild-type structure [Gaskell, A., et al. (1995) Structure3, 1197-1205], although removal of the tyrosine residue creates two significant changes to the activesite. First, the anomeric oxygen atom of the hydrolysis product (-N-acetylneuraminic acid) and fourwater molecules bind in the large cavity created by the Y370G mutation. Second, the side chain of Asn310moves to make a strong hydrogen bond to one of the bound water molecules.
