The behaviour of a highly purified alpha-L-fucosidase (E.C. 3.2.1.51) extracted from octopus hepatopancreas was studied with phospholipid vesicles composed of phosphatidylcholine (PC) and phosphatidylserine (PS) containing the fucosylated ganglioside FucGM1, a potential natural substrate of the enzyme. The substrate recognition and hydrolysis take place only with PS/FucGM1 mixtures via an association process of the enzyme with the vesicles at acidic pH; the enzyme rapidly and stably binds to PS vesicles but not to PC vesicles.

The enzyme association with FucGM1/PS vesicles is a prerequisite for ganglioside hydrolysis but is followed by irreversible enzyme inactivation

Abstract

The behaviour of a highly purified alpha-L-fucosidase (E.C. 3.2.1.51) extracted from octopus hepatopancreas was studied with phospholipid vesicles composed of phosphatidylcholine (PC) and phosphatidylserine (PS) containing the fucosylated ganglioside FucGM1, a potential natural substrate of the enzyme. The substrate recognition and hydrolysis take place only with PS/FucGM1 mixtures via an association process of the enzyme with the vesicles at acidic pH; the enzyme rapidly and stably binds to PS vesicles but not to PC vesicles. The data suggest that only the PS-associated enzyme is able to hydrolyse FucGM1 embedded in the same bilayer. The enzyme association with FucGM1/PS vesicles is a prerequisite for ganglioside hydrolysis but is followed by irreversible enzyme inactivation
