D48A | site-directed mutagenesis of the catalytic residue abolishes the esterase activity of the enzyme, the mutant strain is deficient in holdfast anchoring to the cell body, and small holdfasts are shed into the medium. The mutant enzyme has a similar secondary structure compared to the wild-type enzyme based on circular dichroism measurement | Caulobacter vibrioides |
additional information | deletion of gene hfsH abolishing surface adhesion of the cell. The gene hfsH deletion mutant synthesizes defective holdfasts with low adhesiveness and cohesiveness that cannot be anchored to the cell body. In contrast, overexpression of HfsH increases cell adherence | Caulobacter vibrioides |

malfunction | disruption of the hfsH gene, which encodes a putative polysaccharide deacetylase, leads to accumulation of polar polysaccharide holdfast in the culture supernatant. The hfsH deletion mutant strain synthesizes holdfast, but the holdfasts are shed into the medium and have decreased adhesiveness and cohesiveness, phenotype, overview. Site-directed mutagenesis at the predicted catalytic site D48 phenocopied the DELTAhfsH mutant and abolishes the esterase activity of the enzyme | Caulobacter vibrioides |

physiological function | in Asticcacaulis biprosthecum, surface attachment and subsequent biofilm growth depend on the ability to synthesize an adhesive polar polysaccharide known as the holdfast, involving the enzyme. The polysaccharide deacetylase activity of HfsH is required for the adhesive and cohesive properties of the holdfast, as well as for the anchoring of the holdfast to the cell envelope, the holdfast contains beta-1,4-N-acetylglucosamine polymers | Asticcacaulis biprosthecium |
