Carbohydrate-active enzymes from Akkermansia muciniphila break down mucin O-glycans to completion - Nature Microbiology Biochemical characterization of 66 carbohydrate-active enzymes from the gut microorganism Akkermansia muciniphila reveals that these enzymes can break down a range of host glycans, including mucin, wh...

The authors present the biochemical characterization of 54 glycoside hydrolases and 11 sulfatases from Akkermansia muciniphila. These enzymes work synergistically to fully degrade the O-glycans on the mucin polypeptide down to the core N-acetylgalactosamine. #Glycan
