Functional Families

Overview of the Structural Clusters (SC) and Functional Families within this CATH Superfamily. Clusters with a representative structure are represented by a filled circle.

Superfamily EC Annotations

Note: the EC figure is not being displayed for this superfamily as there are more than 100 different EC terms.

There are 9 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.

  • In Gram-positive bacteria the enzyme is involved in biosynthesis of GDP-D-glycero-alpha-D-manno-heptose, which is required for assembly of S-layer glycoprotein.

  • This enzyme, along with EC 2.7.1.170, is required for the utilization of anhydro-N-acetylmuramic acid in proteobacteria.
  • The substrate is either imported from the medium or derived from the bacterium's own cell wall murein during cell wall recycling.
  • Formerly EC 4.2.1.n1.

    Alpha-D-glucosamine 6-phosphate + H(2)O = D-fructose 6-phosphate + NH(3).
    • Isomerization of the aldose-ketose type converts the -CH(-NH(2))-CH=O group of glucosamine 6-phosphate into -C(=NH)-CH(2)-OH, forming 2-deoxy-2-imino-D-arabino-hexitol which then hydrolyzes to yield fructose 6-phosphate and ammonia.
