FunFam 421: Cellulase/esterase CelE

There are 2 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
Acetylxylan esterase. [EC: 3.1.1.72]
Deacetylation of xylans and xylo-oligosaccharides.
  • Catalyzes the hydrolysis of acetyl groups from polymeric xylan, acetylated xylose, acetylated glucose, alpha-napthyl acetate, p-nitrophenyl acetate but not from triacetylglycerol.
  • Does not act on acetylated mannan or pectin.
 1 P10477
Cellulase. [EC: 3.2.1.4]
Endohydrolysis of (1->4)-beta-D-glucosidic linkages in cellulose, lichenin and cereal beta-D-glucans.
  • Will also hydrolyze 1,4-linkages in beta-D-glucans also containing 1,3-linkages.
