DOMON-like type 9 carbohydrate binding module. Family 9 carbohydrate-binding modules (CBM9) play a role in the microbial degradation of cellulose and hemicellulose (materials found in plants). The domain has previously been called cellulose-binding domain. The polysaccharide binding sites of CBMs with available 3D structure have been found to be either flat surfaces with interactions formed by predominantly aromatic residues (tryptophan and tyrosine), or extended shallow grooves. CBM9 domains found in this uncharacterized heterogeneous subfamily are often located at the C-terminus of longer proteins and may co-occur with various other functional domains such as glycosyl hydrolases. The CBM9 module in these architectures may be involved in binding to carbohydrates.

Glycoside hydrolase family 113 beta-1,4-mannanase and similar proteins. Mannan endo-1,4-beta mannosidase (E.C 3.2.1.78) randomly cleaves (1->4)-beta-D-mannosidic linkages in mannans, galactomannans and glucomannans and is also called beta-1,4-mannanase, endo-1,4-beta-mannanase, endo-beta-1,4-mannase, beta-mannanase B, beta-1, 4-mannan 4-mannanohydrolase, endo-beta-mannanase, beta-D-mannanase, 1,4-beta-D-mannan mannanohydrolase, and 4-beta-D-mannan mannanohydrolase. (1->4)-beta-linked mannans are polysaccharides with a linear polymer backbone of (1->4)-beta-linked mannose units (in plants and fungi) or alternating mannose and glucose/galactose units (glucomannan in plants and fungi, and galactomannan and galactoglucomannan in plants), such as in the hemicellulose fraction of hard- and softwoods. Complete degradation of mannan requires a series of enzymes, including beta-1,4-mannanase. According to the CAZy database beta-1,4-mannanases are grouped into various glycoside hydrolase (GH) families; GH family 113 beta-1,4-mannanases include mostly bacterial and archaeal sequences.

Glycosyl hydrolase family 10.

Carbohydrate family 9 binding domain-like. CBM9_1 is a C-terminal domain on bacterial xylanase proteins, and it is tandemly repeated in a number of family-members. The CBM9 module binds to amorphous and crystalline cellulose and a range of soluble di- and monosaccharides as well as to cello- and xylo- oligomers of different degrees of polymerization. Comparison of the glucose and cellobiose complexes during crystallisation reveals surprising differences in binding of these two substrates by CBM9-2. Cellobiose was found to bind in a distinct orientation from glucose, while still maintaining optimal stacking and electrostatic interactions with the reducing end sugar.
