Type: | Domain | Name: | Glycoside hydrolase family 65, C-terminal |
Description: | O-Glycosyl hydrolases () are a widespread group of enzymes that hydrolyse the glycosidic bond between two or more carbohydrates, or between a carbohydrate and a non-carbohydrate moiety. A classification system for glycosyl hydrolases, based on sequence similarity, has led to the definition of 85 different families [, ]. This classification is available on the CAZy (CArbohydrate-Active EnZymes) web site.Family 65 () contains this domain and includes vacuolar acid trehalase and maltose phosphorylases. Maltose phosphorylase (MP) is a dimeric enzyme that catalyses the conversion of maltose and inorganic phosphate into beta-D-glucose-1-phosphate and glucose. The C-terminal domain forms a two layered jelly roll motif. This domain is situated at the base of the catalytic domain, however its function remains unknown []. | Short Name: | Glyco_hydro_65_C |
