General description
Sialic acid aldolases, or N-acetylneuraminate lyases, catalyze the reversible aldol cleavage of N-acetylneuraminic acid to form pyruvate and N-acetyl-D-mannosamine. In nature, N-acetylneuraminate lyase mainly occurs in pathogens.
Application
Sialic acid aldolase can be used to synthesize unnatural sugars of C(6) to C(10) for the design of antagonists and inhibitors of glycoenzymes.
Unit Definition
One unit will catalyze the formation of 1.0 μmol Neu-5-Ac from Man-N-Ac and pyruvate per minute at 37°C at pH 8.0.
Physical form
Lyophilized powder containing Tris-HCl and NaCl
Analysis Note
Enzymatic activity assays are performed in Tris-HCl buffer (100 mM, pH 7.5) containing Neu-5-Ac (10 mM) at 37 °C for 15 min and analyzed using capillary electrophoresis with UV detection at 200 nm.

In a recent directed-evolution study, Escherichia coli D-sialic acid aldolase was converted by introducing eight point mutations into a new enzyme with relaxed specificity, denoted RS-aldolase (also known formerly as L-3-deoxy-manno-2-octulosonic acid (L-KDO) aldolase), which showed a preferred selectivity toward

N-Acetylneuraminate lyases (NALs) or sialic acid aldolases catalyze the reversible aldol cleavage of N-acetylneuraminic acid (Neu5Ac) to form pyruvate and N-acetyl-d-mannosamine (ManNAc).
