Bacterial alpha-L-rhamnosidase 6 hairpin glycosidase domain. This family consists of bacterial rhamnosidase A and B enzymes. L-Rhamnose is abundant in biomass as a common constituent of glycolipids and glycosides, such as plant pigments, pectic polysaccharides, gums or biosurfactants. Some rhamnosides are important bioactive compounds. For example, terpenyl glycosides, the glycosidic precursor of aromatic terpenoids, act as important flavouring substances in grapes. Other rhamnosides act as cytotoxic rhamnosylated terpenoids, as signal substances in plants or play a role in the antigenicity of pathogenic bacteria.

Carbohydrate Binding Module 35 (CBM35) domains similar to Lmo2446. This family includes carbohydrate binding module 35 (CBM35) domains that are appended to several carbohydrate binding enzymes. Some CBM35 domains belonging to this family are appended to glycoside hydrolase (GH) family domains, including glycoside hydrolase family 31 (GH31), for example the CBM35 domain of Lmo2446, an uncharacterized protein from Listeria monocytogenes EGD-e. These CBM35s are non-catalytic carbohydrate binding domains that facilitate the strong binding of the GH catalytic modules with their dedicated, insoluble substrates. GH31 has a wide range of hydrolytic activities such as alpha-glucosidase, alpha-xylosidase, 6-alpha-glucosyltransferase, or alpha-1,4-glucan lyase, cleaving a terminal carbohydrate moiety from a substrate that may be a starch or a glycoprotein. Most characterized GH31 enzymes are alpha-glucosidases.

Glycogen debranching enzyme (alpha-1,6-glucosidase) [Carbohydrate transport and metabolism].

Amylo-alpha-1,6-glucosidase. This family includes human glycogen branching enzyme AGL. This enzyme contains a number of distinct catalytic activities. It has been shown for the yeast homolog GDB1 that mutations in this region disrupt the enzymes Amylo-alpha-1,6-glucosidase (EC:3.2.1.33).

Carbohydrate Binding Module 6 (CBM6); appended to glycoside hydrolase (GH) domains, including GH5 (cellulase). This family includes carbohydrate binding module 6 (CBM6) domains that are appended to several glycoside hydrolase (GH) domains, including GH5 (cellulase) and GH16, as well as to coagulation factor 5/8 carbohydrate-binding domains. CBM6s are non-catalytic carbohydrate binding domains that facilitate the strong binding of the GH catalytic modules with their dedicated, insoluble substrates. The CBM6s are appended to GHs that display a diversity of substrate specificities. For some members of this family information is available about the specific substrates of the appended GH domains. It includes the CBM domains of various enzymes involved in cell wall degradation including, an extracellular beta-1,3-glucanase from Lysobacter enzymogenes encoded by the gluC gene (its catalytic domain belongs to the GH16 family), the tandem CBM domains of Pseudomonas sp. PE2 beta-1,3(4)-glucanase A (its catalytic domain also belongs to GH16), and a family 6 CBM from Cellvibrio mixtus Endoglucanase 5A (CmCBM6) which binds to the beta1,4-beta1,3-mixed linked glucans lichenan, and barley beta-glucan, cello-oligosaccharides, insoluble forms of cellulose, the beta1,3-glucan laminarin, and xylooligosaccharides, and the CBM6 of Fibrobacter succinogenes S85 XynD xylanase, appended to a GH10 domain, and Cellvibrio japonicas Cel5G appended to a GH5 (cellulase) domain. GH5 (cellulase) family includes enzymes with several known activities such as endoglucanase, beta-mannanase, and xylanase, which are involved in the degradation of cellulose and xylans. GH16 family includes enzymes with lichenase, xyloglucan endotransglycosylase (XET), and beta-agarase activities. CBM6 is an unusual CBM as it represents a chimera of two distinct binding sites with different modes of binding: binding site I within the loop regions and binding site II on the concave face of the beta-sandwich fold. For CmCBM6 it has been shown that these two binding sites have different ligand specificities.
