Structural basis of mammalian mucin processing by the human gut O-glycopeptidase OgpA from Akkermansia muciniphila

OgpA is an O-glycopeptidase from Akkermansia muciniphila, a mucin-degrading bacterium commonly found in the human gut. A thorough characterization of OgpA, including crystal structures in complex with substrate or product, reveals molecular basis of O-glycan recognition and enzyme specificity.
