additional information | MrCDA is a specific enzyme for beta-1,4-GlcNAc polymers, such as glycol-chitin, colloidal chitin, chitosan, and chitin. IIt also deacetylates acetylxylan, but it is inactive on peptidoglycan or acetyl heparin polymers. It is active on chitooligosaccharides, and its activity increases with the degree of polymerization (DP), with triacetylchitotriose being the smallest substrate it acts on. The enzyme deacetylates its substrates following a multiple-attack mechanism, but the resulting pattern depends on the DP of the substrate: DP3, DP6, and DP7 substrates are not fully deacetylated, leaving the reducing GlcNAc unmodified, whereas DP4 and DP5 substrates are fully deacetylated. In all cases, deacetylation starts at the non-reducing end residue, and then proceeds to the neighboring monomer towards the reducing end | Amylomyces rouxii | ? | - |

Structures of the substrates of CE4 enzymes and representative deacetylated products, overview. ArCE4 is active on alpha- and beta-chitin, chitosan (DA 64%), and acetylxylan. On COS substrates, activity increases with increasing DP, with higher activity against DP5 compared to DP6, and no activity on GlcNAc. The enzyme acts by a multiple-chain mechanism, as shown with DP5 substrate, where different mono- and di-deacetylated products are obtained. The first deacelylation happens at all three internal positions, whereas di-deacetylation mainly occurs at the GlcNAc unit next to the reducing end, and at either of the two other internal units (ADDAA and ADADA). Although other minor products are formed, it seems that the reducing end unit is not deacetylated | Arthrobacter sp. Hiyo8 | ? | - |

The enzyme from Puccinia graminis is not active on insoluble polymers such as alpha- or beta-chitin. The sequence of the products obtained by enzymatic deacetylation of tetramers to hexamers reveals that the enzyme specifically deacetylates all but the last two GlcNAc units on the non-reducing end via a multiple-chain mechanism | Puccinia graminis f. sp. tritici | ? | - |

Structures of the substrates of CE4 enzymes and representative deacetylated products, overview. No activity on peptidoglycan. The enzyme is inactive towards GlcNAc, and catalyzes the mono-deacetylation of (GlcNAc)2. The deacetylation rate exhibits a counter-intuitive relationship with the length of the chitooligosaccharide substrates: odd-numbered chitooligosaccharides (DP5, DP3) have higher apparent rate constants than even-numbered oligomers (DP4, DP2). Monitoring of products formation with the DP6 substrate showed that the first deacetylation event occurs at random positions, except for the reducing end, which reacts much more slowly to yield the fully deacetylated product | Aspergillus nidulans | ? | - |

NodB is active on chitooligosaccharides from DP2 to DP5 with no differences in kcat, but Km decreases with increasing DP. Specifically, kcat/KM is 5fold higher for DP5 than for DP2 substrates. DP4 or DP5 substrates are the natural substrates depending on the rhizobial strain. NodB only deacetylates the non-reducing end residue, but traces of a second deacetylation event are seen upon long incubations | Sinorhizobium meliloti | ? | - |

Structures of the substrates of CE4 enzymes and representative deacetylated products, overview. The enzyme is active on soluble glycol-chitin, chitosan polymers with a high DA, and chitooligosaccharides, and shows low activity on insoluble alpha- and beta-chitin, which is reduced further by deletion of the CBM domains. On chitooligosaccharides, it is active against oligomers with a DP >2, leading to fully deacetylated products. Enzymatic action patterns for enzymes that modify in-chain units on a linear polysaccharide may be divided into three main types, designated multiple-attack, multiple-chain, and single-chain mechanisms. The mode of action of Podospora anserina CDA on DP3 and DP4 substrates reveals that it follows a multiple-chain mechanism. With the trimer, all possible isomers are found for both mono- and di-deacetylated intermediate products, although the first deacetylation event has a clear preference for the reducing end. This is not the case for the tetramer and pentamer substrates, where the residue next to the reducing end is preferentially deacetylated first, with the second deacetylation occurring mainly next to the existing GlcNH2 unit on either side. Overall, larger oligomers are deacetylated faster, with deacetylation of the reducing end occurring as a late event | Podospora anserina | ? | - |
