Glycosyl hydrolase family 9.

Catalytic NodB homology domain of rhizobial NodB-like proteins. This family belongs to the large and functionally diverse carbohydrate esterase 4 (CE4) superfamily, whose members show strong sequence similarity with some variability due to their distinct carbohydrate substrates. It includes many rhizobial NodB chitooligosaccharide N-deacetylase (EC 3.5.1.-)-like proteins, mainly from bacteria and eukaryotes, such as chitin deacetylases (EC 3.5.1.41), bacterial peptidoglycan N-acetylglucosamine deacetylases (EC 3.5.1.-), and acetylxylan esterases (EC 3.1.1.72), which catalyze the N- or O-deacetylation of substrates such as acetylated chitin, peptidoglycan, and acetylated xylan. All members of this family contain a catalytic NodB homology domain with the same overall topology and a deformed (beta/alpha)8 barrel fold with 6- or 7 strands. Their catalytic activity is dependent on the presence of a divalent cation, preferably cobalt or zinc, and they employ a conserved His-His-Asp zinc-binding triad closely associated with the conserved catalytic base (aspartic acid) and acid (histidine) to carry out acid/base catalysis. Several family members show diversity both in metal ion specificities and in the residues that coordinate the metal.

Cellulase N-terminal ig-like domain.

N-terminal Early set domain associated with the catalytic domain of cellulase. E or "early" set domains are associated with the catalytic domain of cellulases at the N-terminal end. Cellulases are O-glycosyl hydrolases (GHs) that hydrolyze beta 1-4 glucosidic bonds in cellulose. They are usually categorized into either exoglucanases, which sequentially release terminal sugar units from the cellulose chain, or endoglucanases, which also attack the chain internally. The N-terminal domain of cellulase may be related to the immunoglobulin and/or fibronectin type III superfamilies. These domains are associated with different types of catalytic domains at either the N-terminal or C-terminal end and may be involved in homodimeric/tetrameric/dodecameric interactions. Members of this family include members of the alpha amylase family, sialidase, galactose oxidase, cellulase, cellulose, hyaluronate lyase, chitobiase, and chitinase, among others.

Putative catalytic NodB homology domain of Bacillus subtilis putative polysaccharide deacetylase PdaB, and its bacterial homologs. The Bacillus subtilis genome contains six polysaccharide deacetylase gene homologs: pdaA, pdaB (previously known as ybaN), yheN, yjeA, yxkH and ylxY. This family is represented by the putative polysaccharide deacetylase PdaB encoded by the pdaB gene on sporulation of Bacillus subtilis. Although its biochemical properties remain to be determined, the PdaB (YbaN) protein is essential for maintaining spores after the late stage of sporulation and is highly conserved in spore-forming bacteria. The glycans of the spore cortex may be candidate PdaB substrates. Based on sequence similarity, the family members are classified as carbohydrate esterase 4 (CE4) superfamily members. However, the classical His-His-Asp zinc-binding motif of CE4 esterases is missing in this family.
