This is the beta-sheet domain found in rhamnogalacturonan (RG) lyases [1], which are responsible for an initial cleavage of the RG type I (RG-I) region of plant cell wall pectin. Polysaccharide lyase family 11 carrying this domain, such as YesW (EC:4.2.2.23) and YesX (EC:4.2.2.24), cleave glycoside bonds between rhamnose and galacturonic acid residues in RG-I through a beta-elimination reaction [2]. Other family members carrying this domain are hemagglutinin A, lysine gingipain (Kgp) [3] and Chitinase C (EC:3.2.1.14).
