PROSITE documentation PDOC51764 [for PROSITE entry PS51764]
Glycosyl hydrolases family 26 (GH26) domain profile


Description

Glycoside hydrolases (GHs) play a critical role in both eukaryotes and prokaryotes, where they fulfill numerous important functions such as substrate acquisition and the remote remodelling of cell walls and the glycan decorations of glycoproteins. GH family 26 consists mainly of endo-β-1,4-mannanases (mannanases), although some members of this family display β-1,3-xylanase activity. The family 26 GHs are members of clan GH-A [1,2,3,4,E1].

The GH26 catalytic domain exhibits the architecture of the classical (β/α)8-barrel folding motif characteristic of a clan-GH-A member (see <PDB:2BVY>). Two Glu residues located respectively on strands β-4 and β-7 act as the catalytic acid/base and nucleophile in a double-displacement mechanism [1,2,3].

The profile we developed covers the entire GH26 domain.
