FunFam 5953: Polysaccharide deacetylase

There are 1 EC terms in this cluster

Please note: EC annotations are assigned to the full protein sequence rather than individual protein domains. Since a given protein can contain multiple domains, it is possible that some of the annotations below come from additional domains that occur in the same protein, but have been classified elsewhere in CATH.

Note: The search results have been sorted with the annotations that are found most frequently at the top of the list. The results can be filtered by typing text into the search box at the top of the table.

EC Term Annotations Evidence
Peptidoglycan-N-acetylglucosamine deacetylase. [EC: 3.5.1.104]
Peptidoglycan-N-acetyl-D-glucosamine + H(2)O = peptidoglycan-D- glucosamine + acetate.
  • Modification of peptidoglycan by N-deacetylation is an important factor in virulence of Helicobacter pylori, Listeria monocytogenes and Streptococcus suis.
  • The enzyme from Streptococcus pneumoniae is a metalloenzyme using a His-His-Asp zinc-binding triad with a nearby aspartic acid and histidine acting as the catalytic base and acid, respectively.
