'''Neuraminidase''' enzymes are [[glycoside hydrolase]] [[enzyme]]s that cleave (cut) the [[glycosidic linkage]]s of [[neuraminic acid]]s. Neuraminidase enzymes are a large family, found in a range of organisms. The best-known neuraminidase is the [[viral neuraminidase]], a drug target for the prevention of the spread of [[influenza]] infection. The viral neuraminidases are frequently used as [[antigenic determinants]] found on the surface of the influenza virus. Some variants of the influenza neuraminidase confer more virulence to the virus than others. Other homologues are found in mammalian cells, which have a range of functions. At least four mammalian [[sialidase]] homologues have been described  in the [[human genome]] (see [[NEU1]], [[NEU2]], [[NEU3]], [[NEU4]]).

{{main| Viral neuraminidase}}
[[Influenza]] neuraminidase is a mushroom-shaped projection on the surface of the influenza virus. It has a head consisting of four co-planar and roughly spherical subunits, and a hydrophobic region that is embedded within the interior of the virus' membrane. It comprises a single polypeptide chain that is oriented in the opposite direction to the hemagglutinin antigen. The composition of the polypeptide is a single chain of six conserved polar amino acids, followed by hydrophilic, variable amino acids. β-Sheets predominate as the secondary level of protein conformation.

==Function==
The enzymatic mechanism of influenza virus sialidase has been studied by Taylor et al., shown in Figure 1. The enzyme catalysis process has four steps. The first step involves the distortion of the α-sialoside from a <sup>2</sup>C<sub>5</sub> chair conformation (the lowest-energy form in solution) to a pseudoboat conformation when the sialoside binds to the sialidase. The second step leads to an oxocarbocation intermediate, the sialosyl cation. The third step is the formation of Neu5Ac initially as the α-anomer, and then mutarotation and release as the more thermodynamically-stable β-Neu5Ac.<ref name="pmid8126701">{{cite journal | vauthors = Taylor NR, von Itzstein M | title = Molecular modeling studies on ligand binding to sialidase from influenza virus and the mechanism of catalysis | journal = Journal of Medicinal Chemistry | volume = 37 | issue = 5 | pages = 616–24 | date = March 1994 | pmid = 8126701 | doi = 10.1021/jm00031a011 }}</ref>
Neuraminidase has functions that aid in the efficiency of virus release from cells. Neuraminidase cleaves terminal [[sialic acid]] residues from [[carbohydrate]] moieties on the surfaces of infected cells. This promotes the release of progeny viruses from infected cells. Neuraminidase also cleaves sialic acid residues from viral proteins, preventing aggregation of viruses. Administration of chemical inhibitors of neuraminidase is a treatment that limits the severity and spread of viral infections.


Neuraminidase is also a virulence factor for many bacteria including ''[[Bacteroides fragilis]]'' and ''[[Pseudomonas aeruginosa]]'', where it is produced to cleave a sialic acid residue off ganglioside-GM1 (a modulator of cell surface and receptor activity) turning it into asialo-GM1 to which its type 4 pilli (attachment factors) bind preferentially.
== Inhibitors ==
{{main| Neuraminidase inhibitors}}
[[Neuraminidase inhibitor]]s are useful for combating [[influenza]] infection: [[zanamivir]], administered by inhalation; [[oseltamivir]], administered orally; [[peramivir]] administered parenterally, that is through intravenous or intramuscular injection; and [[laninamivir]] which is in phase III clinical trials.


Ideally influenza virus neuraminidase (NA) should act on the same type of virus receptor the virus [[Hemagglutinin]] (HA) binds to. This is not always so. It is not quite clear how the virus manages to function if there is no close match between the specificities of NA and HA.
There are two major proteins on the surface of influenza virus particles. One is the lectin haemagglutinin protein with three relatively shallow sialic acid-binding sites and the other is enzyme sialidase with the active site in a pocket. Because of the relative deep active site in which low-molecular-weight inhibitors can make multiple favorable interactions and approachable methods of designing transition-state analogues in the hydrolysis of sialosides, the sialidase becomes more attractive anti-influenza drug target than the haemagglutinin.<ref name="isbn0-19-928278-1">{{cite book | last1 = Drickamer | first1 = Kurt | last2 = Taylor | first2 = Maureen P. | name-list-format = vanc | title = Introduction to glycobiology | edition = | publisher = Oxford University Press | location = Oxford [Oxfordshire] | year = 2006 | origyear = | pages = 177–178 | isbn = 0-19-928278-1 }}</ref> After the X-ray crystal structures of several influenza virus sialidases were available, the structure-based inhibitor design was applied to discover potent inhibitors of this enzyme.<ref>{{cite journal | title = Anti-Influenza Virus Drug Design: Sialidase Inhibitors | year = 2001 | journal = Australian Journal of Chemistry | pages = 663–670  | volume = 54 | issue = 11 | doi = 10.1071/CH01173  | last1 = Dyason  | first1 =  Jeffrey C. | last2 =  Itzstein  | first2 =  Mark von | name-list-format = vanc }}</ref>

Neuraminidase enzymes are glycoside hydrolase enzymes that cleave (cut) the glycosidic linkages of neuraminic acids. Neuraminidase enzymes are a large family, found in a range of organisms. The best-known neuraminidase is the viral neuraminidase, a drug target for the prevention of the spread of influenza infection. The viral neuraminidases are frequently used as antigenic determinants found on the surface of the influenza virus. Some variants of the influenza neuraminidase confer more virulence to the virus than others. Other homologues are found in mammalian cells, which have a range of functions. At least four mammalian sialidase homologues have been described in the human genome (see NEU1, NEU2, NEU3, NEU4).

Reaction

There are two major classes of Neuraminidase that cleave exo or endo poly-sialic acids:

  • Exo hydrolysis of α-(2→3)-, α-(2→6)-, α-(2→8)-glycosidic linkages of terminal sialic acid residues[1][2]
  • Endo hydrolysis of (2→8)-α-sialosyl linkages in oligo- or poly(sialic) acids[2]

Function

Neuraminidases, also called sialidases, catalyze the hydrolysis of terminal sialic acid residues from the newly formed virions and from the host cell receptors.[3] Sialidase activities include assistance in the mobility of virus particles through the respiratory tract mucus and in the elution of virion progeny from the infected cell.[4][5]

Subtypes

Swiss-Prot lists 137 types of neuraminidase from various species as of October 18, 2006.[6] Nine subtypes of influenza neuraminidase are known; many occur only in various species of duck and chicken. Subtypes N1 and N2 have been positively linked to epidemics in man, and strains with N3 or N7 subtypes have been identified in a number of isolated deaths.[citation needed]

Structure

Influenza neuraminidase is a mushroom-shaped projection on the surface of the influenza virus. It has a head consisting of four co-planar and roughly spherical subunits, and a hydrophobic region that is embedded within the interior of the virus' membrane. It comprises a single polypeptide chain that is oriented in the opposite direction to the hemagglutinin antigen. The composition of the polypeptide is a single chain of six conserved polar amino acids, followed by hydrophilic, variable amino acids. β-Sheets predominate as the secondary level of protein conformation.

Recent emergence of oseltamivir and zanamivir resistant human influenza A(H1N1) H274Y has emphasized the need for suitable expression systems to obtain large quantities of highly pure and stable, recombinant neuraminidase through two separate artificial tetramerization domains that facilitate the formation of catalytically active neuraminidase homotetramers from yeast and Staphylothermus marinus, which allow for secretion of FLAG-tagged proteins and further purification.[7]

Mechanism

Chemical structures of 4- substituted Neu5Ac2en derivatives 8

The enzymatic mechanism of influenza virus sialidase has been studied by Taylor et al., shown in Figure 1. The enzyme catalysis process has four steps. The first step involves the distortion of the α-sialoside from a 2C5 chair conformation (the lowest-energy form in solution) to a pseudoboat conformation when the sialoside binds to the sialidase. The second step leads to an oxocarbocation intermediate, the sialosyl cation. The third step is the formation of Neu5Ac initially as the α-anomer, and then mutarotation and release as the more thermodynamically-stable β-Neu5Ac.[8]

Inhibitors

Neuraminidase inhibitors are useful for combating influenza infection: zanamivir, administered by inhalation; oseltamivir, administered orally; peramivir administered parenterally, that is through intravenous or intramuscular injection; and laninamivir which is in phase III clinical trials.

There are two major proteins on the surface of influenza virus particles. One is the lectin haemagglutinin protein with three relatively shallow sialic acid-binding sites and the other is enzyme sialidase with the active site in a pocket. Because of the relative deep active site in which low-molecular-weight inhibitors can make multiple favorable interactions and approachable methods of designing transition-state analogues in the hydrolysis of sialosides, the sialidase becomes more attractive anti-influenza drug target than the haemagglutinin.[9] After the X-ray crystal structures of several influenza virus sialidases were available, the structure-based inhibitor design was applied to discover potent inhibitors of this enzyme.[10]

The unsaturated sialic acid (N-acetylneuraminic acid [Neu5ac]) derivative 2-deoxy-2, 3-didehydro-D-N-acetylneuraminic acid (Neu5Ac2en), a sialosyl cation transition-state (Figure 2) analogue, is believed the most potent inhibitor core template. Structurally modified Neu5Ac2en derivatives may give more effective inhibitors.[11]

Many Neu5Ac2en-based compounds have been synthesized and tested for their influenza virus sialidase inhibitory potential. For example: The 4-substituted Neu5Ac2en derivatives (Figure 3), 4-amino-Neu5Ac2en (Compound 1), which showed two orders of magnitude better inhibition of influenza virus sialidase than Neu5Ac2en5 and 4-guanidino-Neu5Ac2en (Compound 2), known as Zanamivir, which is now marketed for treatment of influenza virus as a drug, have been designed by von Itzstein and coworkers.[12] A series of amide-linked C9 modified Neu5Ac2en have been reported by Megesh and colleagues as NEU1 inhibitors.[13]
