This domain is found at the C-terminal end of Exo-oligoalginate lyase from Saccharophagus degradans (Alg17C) and similar sequences from proteobacteria. Alg17C catalyses the depolymerisation of alginate through an exolytic mode of action, via a beta-elimination mechanism. This protein consists of two domains: an N-terminal imperfect alpha-barrel (Pfam:PF05426) and a C-terminal beta-sheet domain (Pfam:PF07940 and this entry) [1]. This domain adopts an all-beta configuration.
This is the C-terminal domain of Heparin and heparin-sulfate lyase (HepB, also known as heparinase II), Heparin-sulfate lyase (HepC, also known as heparinase III and distantly related sequences. The structures of Heparinase II and III have been solve ...
This is the C-terminal domain of Heparin and heparin-sulfate lyase (HepB, also known as heparinase II), Heparin-sulfate lyase (HepC, also known as heparinase III and distantly related sequences. The structures of Heparinase II and III have been solved [3,4]. HepB cleaves both heparin and heparan sulfate glycosaminoglycans. HepC specifically cleaves heparan sulfate-rich regions of acidic polysaccharides, it does not act on N,O-desulfated glucosamine or N-acetyl-O-sulfated glucosamine linkages. HepC functions in cleaving metazoan heparan sulfate and providing carbon, nitrogen and sulfate sources for microorganisms [1-4]. This entry also includes FtsZ-localized protein C (FzlC), which binds and recruits FtsZ polymers to membranes early in the cell cycle. It may also improve the efficiency of cytokinesis. This protein has been reported to have sequence similarity to heparinase II/III family proteins [5].
