  • GH38 α − mannosidases are known to act with net retention of anomeric configuration; a mechanism in which a glycosyl-enzyme intermediate is flanked by oxocarbenium-ion like transition-states.

  • Figure 5b, in which protonic assistance to leaving group departure is given by D232 with electrophilic migration of the anomeric carbon to form the covalent glycosyl-enzyme intermediate.

  • To investigate whether XA21 is glycosylated, we treated the protein with the peptide-N-glycosidase F (PNGase F) enzyme, which removes all glycosyl groups
