Synthesis of human milk oligosaccharides by a beta-N-acetylhexosaminidase from Haloferula sp

Abstract

The invention discloses the application of a β-N-acetylhexosaminidase (HaHex74) from Haloferula sp. in the synthesis of human milk oligosaccharides. The invention provides the use of HaHex74 protein or related biological materials thereof in any one of the following: synthesizing human milk oligosaccharides; synthesizing Lacto-N-triose II and/or Lacto-N-neotetraose; the HaHex74 protein having the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID No. 2 is derived from Haloferula sp. The β-N-acetylhexosaminidase HaHex74 disclosed by the invention possesses high-level expression, excellent hydrolysis properties and transglycosylation activity, which may make it potentially useful in the production of human milk oligosaccharides.
