Substrate Specificity:
Description:
α1-6 Mannosidase is a highly specific exoglycosidase that removes unbranched α1-6 linked D-mannopyranosyl residues from oligosaccharides (1,2).
Source:
Cloned from Xanthomonas manihotis and expressed in E. coli (2).
Reagents Supplied:
G2 Reaction Buffer (10X)
BSA (100X)
Enzyme Properties
Molecular Weight:
Apparent: 48 kDa
Reaction & Storage Conditions
Reaction Conditions:
1X G2 Reaction Buffer
Supplemented with 100 μg/ml Bovine Serum Albumin
Incubate at
37°C.
1X G2 Reaction Buffer:
50 mM sodium citrate
pH 4.5 @ 25°C
Unit Definition:
One unit is defined as the amount of enzyme required to cleave > 95% of the terminal α-D-mannose from 1 nmol of Manα1-6Manα1-6Man-7-amino-4-methyl-coumarin (AMC), in 1 hour at 37°C in a total reaction volume of 10 µl.
Two fold dilutions of α1-6 Mannosidase are incubated with 1 nmol AMC-labeled substrate in 1X G2 Buffer, supplemented with 100 µg/ml BSA, in a 10 µl reaction. The reaction mix is incubated for 1 hour at 37°C. Separation of reaction products are visualized via thin layer chromatography (1).
Concentration:
2,000 units/ml
Storage Temperature:
4°C
Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles.

Quality Control for Current Lot
Quality control values for a specific lot can be found on the datacard which accompanies each product.
Protease Activity:
After incubation of 20 units of α1-6 Mannosidase with a standard mixture of proteins
for 2 hours at 30ºC, no proteolytic activity could be detected by SDS-PAGE.
Glycosidase Assay:
20 units of α1‑6 Mannosidase were incubated with 0.1 mM of flourescently-labeled oligosaccharides and glycopeptides, in a 10 µl reaction for 20 hours at 37°C. The reaction products were analyzed by TLC for digestion of substrate.
