In enzymology, N-acetylglucosamine-6-phosphate deacetylase (EC 3.5.1.25), also known as GlcNAc-6-phosphate deacetylase or NagA, is an enzyme that catalyzes the deacetylation of N-acetylglucosamine-6-phosphate (GlcNAc-6-P) to glucosamine-6-phosphate (GlcN-6-P):

H2O + N-acetyl-D-glucosamine 6-phosphate acetate + D-glucosamine 6-phosphate
NagA Reaction




GlcNAc-6-phosphate deacetylase is encoded by the gene NagA.

This enzyme belongs to the amidohydrolase superfamily. Amidohydrolases are a type of hydrolase that acts upon amide bonds. All members of the amidohydrolase family employ a TIM barrel structure, and a vast majority of members are metalloenzymes.[1] The family of enzymes is important in amino acid and nucleotide metabolism as well as biodegradation of agricultural and industrial compounds. NagA participates in amino-sugar metabolism, specifically in the biosynthesis of amino-sugar-nucleotides.[2]

The systematic name of this enzyme class is N-acetyl-D-glucosamine-6-phosphate amidohydrolase. Other names in common use include acetylglucosamine phosphate deacetylase, acetylaminodeoxyglucosephosphate acetylhydrolase, and 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-D-glucose-6-phosphate amidohydrolase.

Enzyme Structure

Tertiary Structure

All NagA structures characterized to date reveal a similar overall architecture and arrangement of two domains.[3] Domain I comprises a (β/α)8 - barrel structural fold, also known as a TIM barrel, that forms the dimeric interface with domain I of the neighboring subunit.[3] This dimeric interface enables the formation of two identical active sites that are involved in substrate and metal co-factor recognition. The smaller second domain of NagA enzymes comprises a β-barrel with unknown biological functions.[3] While all members of the amidohydrolase superfamily employ a TIM-barrel structural fold, NagA in E.coli has a pseudo-TIM barrel enclosing the funnel-like catalytic site of the enzyme.[4]

Metal-Binding Capabilities

GlcNAc-6-P deacetylase in E.coli contains a mononuclear metal-binding site with a Zn2+ ion; in addition, NagA in E.coli shows a phosphate ion bound at the metal-binding site.[4] Unlike NagA of E.coli, NagA of Mycobacterium smegmatis (MSNagA), Thermotoga maritima, and Bacillus subtilis have binuclear metal-binding sites. MSNagA has two divalent metal ions located in each active site, which are both required for efficient catalysis and structural stability.[3] While the other bacteria species use Zn as their metal co-factor, NagA in Bacillus subtilis utilizes iron as the predominant metal in the metal-binding site.[5]

Active Site

A notable difference between mycobacterial NagA enzymes and NagA enzymes from other bacterial species is the presence of a cysteine at position 131. Other bacterial species have a lysine residue at this position.[3]

Enzyme Mechanism

The catalytic mechanism for NagA enzymes proposed utilizes nucleophilic attack via a metal-coordinated water molecule or hydroxide ion. The mechanism proceeds via a strictly conserved active-site aspartic acid residue that acts initially as a base to activate the hydrolytic water molecule and then as an acid to protonate the amine leaving group. Elimination NagA produces high levels of the allosteric activator GlcNAc-6-P, derived from the recycling of peptidoglycan of the bacterial cell walls. One proposed mechanism using the NagA from Bacillus subtilis and its two iron co-factors in the metal-binding site demonstrates the nucleophilic attack by an Fe-bridged hydroxide and then the stabilization of the carbonyl oxygen by one of the two Fe atoms.[5]

Biological Function and Involved Pathways

356.974x356.974px

NagA is located in the cytoplasm of the cell. N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) enters the cell as part of the breakdown of the cell wall. GlcNAc, a monosaccharide and derivative of glucose, is part of a biopolymer in the bacterial cell wall. This biopolymer forms a layered structure called peptidoglycan (PG). GlcNAc is then converted into GlcNAc-6-P by the enzyme NagE.[6] This substrate is then deacetylated into acetate and GlcN-6-P by NagA.[7] NagA is important for the production of GlcN-6-P, which is then used in two main pathways: PG recycling pathway and the glycolysis pathway.

PG Recycling Pathway

In the PG Recycling pathway, once GlcNAc-6-P is metabolized by NagA, its product, GlcN-6-P, can then be converted to GlcN-1-P by the enzyme GlmM, followed by reacetylation and reaction with UTP by GlmU to form UDP-GlcNAc.[6][7] UDP-GlcNAc is the end product of this pathway, which is then used to make glycosaminoglycans, proteoglycans, and glycolipids, which are all necessary in order to replenish PG for the cell wall.[8]

Glycolysis Pathway

Instead of entering the PG recycling pathway, GlcN-6-P can be converted into fructose-6-phosphate by NagB. This reaction is reversible by the enzyme GlmS.[6][7] The produced fructose-6-phosphate then enters the glycolysis pathway. Glycolysis catalyzes the production of pyruvate, leading to the citric acid cycle and allowing for the production of amino acids.

Disease Relevance

The gene NagA is a potential drug target of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) because NagA represents the key enzymatic step in the generation of essential amino-sugar precursors required for Mtb cell wall biosynthesis and also influences recycling of cell wall peptidoglycan fragments.[3]

Structural studies

As of early 2019, 11 structures have been solved for this class of enzymes, with PDB accession codes 1O12, 1UN7, 1YMY, 1YRR, 2P50, 2P53, 6FV3, 6FV4, 3EGJ, 3IV8, and 2VHL.
