T99K | naturally occuring mutation in US-American population causing aspartylglucosaminuria (AGU). This T99K model enzyme still has autoprocessing capacity to generate a mature form, its amidase activity to digest glycoasparagines remains low. A molecular clamp capable of fixing local disorders at the dimer interface might be able to rescue the deficiency of this AGU variant. The mutant lacks the signal peptide, but shows relatively high amidase activity, about 75% compared to wild-type. T99K has its substratebinding site fully opened through autoproteolysis and is ready to accommodate the substrate NAcGlc-Asn | Homo sapiens |

General Information | Comment | Organism |
---|---|---|
malfunction | aspartylglucosaminuria (AGU) is an inherited disease caused by mutations in a lysosomal amidase called aspartylglucosaminidase (AGA) or glycosylasparaginase. This disorder results in an accumulation of glycoasparagines in the lysosomes of virtually all cell types, with severe clinical symptoms affecting the central nervous system, skeletal abnormalities, and connective tissue lesions. Many AGU mutations remain as dimers but cannot undergo autoproteolysis and thus lack amidase activity for digesting glycoasparagines | Homo sapiens |
physiological function | the enzyme is is involved in protein degradation by catabolizing Asn-linked glycoproteins in lysosomes | Homo sapiens |
