Kc-cells from Drosophila melanogaster, grown under serum-free conditions, produce two beta-hexosaminidases and secrete these enzymes into the medium. The two enzymes were separated by DEAE-exchange chromatography. According to their substrate specificities one enzyme is a beta-N-acetyl-D-glucosaminidase (E.C.3.2.1.30), the other one a beta-N-acetyl-D-hexosaminidase (E.C.3.2.1.52). The beta-N-acetyl-D-glucosaminidase is predominant in the medium, the beta-N-acetyl-D-hexosaminidase within the cells. The Km values for the substrates pNP-GlcNAc, pNP-GalNAc, and (GlcNAc)2 are 0.8, 16.73, and 1.67 mM for the beta-N-acetyl-D-glucosaminidase and 0.24, 0.44, and 0.2 mM for the beta-N-acetyl-D-hexosaminidase. Both enzymes are inhibited by the products and the beta-N-acetyl-D-glucosaminidase is also inhibited stereospecifically by the substrates pNP-GlcNAc and (GlcNAc)2. Both enzymes are inhibited in a partial competitive way by acetamidolactones, the Kis being as low as 0.1 microM.
