Alpha amylase catalytic domain found in bacterial Alpha-amylases (also called 1,4-alpha-D-glucan-4-glucanohydrolase). AmyA (EC 3.2.1.1) catalyzes the hydrolysis of alpha-(1,4) glycosidic linkages of glycogen, starch, related polysaccharides, and some oligosaccharides. This group includes Firmicutes, Proteobacteria, Actinobacteria, and Cyanobacteria. The Alpha-amylase family comprises the largest family of glycoside hydrolases (GH), with the majority of enzymes acting on starch, glycogen, and related oligo- and polysaccharides. These proteins catalyze the transformation of alpha-1,4 and alpha-1,6 glucosidic linkages with retention of the anomeric center. The protein is described as having 3 domains: A, B, C. A is a (beta/alpha) 8-barrel; B is a loop between the beta 3 strand and alpha 3 helix of A; C is the C-terminal extension characterized by a Greek key. The majority of the enzymes have an active site cleft found between domains A and B where a triad of catalytic residues (Asp, Glu and Asp) performs catalysis. Other members of this family have lost the catalytic activity as in the case of the human 4F2hc, or only have 2 residues that serve as the catalytic nucleophile and the acid/base, such as Thermus A4 beta-galactosidase with 2 Glu residues (GH42) and human alpha-galactosidase with 2 Asp residues (GH31). The family members are quite extensive and include: alpha amylase, maltosyltransferase, cyclodextrin glycotransferase, maltogenic amylase, neopullulanase, isoamylase, 1,4-alpha-D-glucan maltotetrahydrolase, 4-alpha-glucotransferase, oligo-1,6-glucosidase, amylosucrase, sucrose phosphorylase, and amylomaltase.

pneumococcal surface protein A. The pneumococcal surface protein proteins, found in Streptococcus pneumoniae, are repetitive, with patterns of localized high sequence identity across pairs of proteins given different specific names that recombination may be presumed. This protein, PspA, has an N-terminal region that lacks a cross-wall-targeting YSIRK type extended signal peptide, in contrast to the closely related choline-binding protein CbpA which has a similar C-terminus but a YSIRK-containing region at the N-terminus.

pneumococcal surface protein PspC, choline-binding form. The pneumococcal surface protein PspC, as described in Streptococcus pneumoniae, is a repetitive and highly variable protein, recognized by a conserved N-terminal domain and also by genomic location. This form, subgroup 1, has variable numbers of a choline-binding repeat in the C-terminal region, and is also known as choline-binding protein A. The other form, subgroup 2, is anchored covalently after cleavage by sortase at a C-terminal LPXTG site.
