N-glycans are highly common sources of nutrition for human colonic-dwelling bacteria. These microbes have evolved a several methods to remove N-glycans from proteins; herein we describe the biochemical and structural characterisation of one such enzyme, a PNGaseA superfamily member produced by the infant-associated Bifidobacterium bifidum LMG13195. This PNGase was demonstrated to elicit activity against a wide variety of N-glycan structures yet exhibited a high preference for N-glycans attached to a peptide rather than to a denatured or native protein. This unusual specificity highlights how bacterial species tune their enzymology to different types of substrates. The structural characterisation of this PNGase reveals how its structure determines this specificity while being the first structure presented from the PNGaseA superfamily, revealing a unique ten-stand {beta}-sheet cradling a canonical PNGase catalytic module.
