Glycosyl hydrolases family 3 active site

Description:

It has been shown [1,2] that the following glycosyl hydrolases can be, on the basis of sequence similarities, classified into a single family:

  • β glucosidases (EC 3.2.1.21) from the fungi Aspergillus wentii (A-3), Hansenula anomala, Kluyveromyces fragilis, Saccharomycopsis fibuligera, (BGL1 and BGL2), Schizophyllum commune and Trichoderma reesei (BGL1).
  • β glucosidases from the bacteria Agrobacterium tumefaciens (Cbg1), Butyrivibrio fibrisolvens (bglA), Clostridium thermocellum (bglB), Escherichia coli (bglX), Erwinia chrysanthemi (bgxA) and Ruminococcus albus.
  • Alteromonas strain O-7 β-hexosaminidase A (EC 3.2.1.52).
  • Bacillus subtilis hypothetical protein yzbA.
  • Escherichica coli hypothetical protein ycfO and HI0959, the corresponding Haemophilus influenzae protein.

One of the conserved regions in these enzymes is centered on a conserved aspartic acid residue which has been shown [3], in Aspergillus wentii β-glucosidase A3, to be implicated in the catalytic mechanism. We have used this region as a signature pattern.
