Glycosyl hydrolase family 43 protein such as Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron VPI-5482 arabinofuranosidase Bt3655. This glycosyl hydrolase family 43 (GH43)-like family includes the characterized arabinofuranosidases (EC 3.2.1.55): Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron VPI-5482 (Bt3655;BT_3655) and Penicillium chrysogenum 31B Abf43B, as well as Bifidobacterium adolescentis ATCC 15703 beta-xylosidase (EC 3.2.1.37) BAD_1527. It belongs to the glycosyl hydrolase clan F (according to carbohydrate-active enzymes database (CAZY)) which includes family 43 (GH43) and 62 (GH62) families. GH43 includes enzymes with beta-xylosidase (EC 3.2.1.37), beta-1,3-xylosidase (EC 3.2.1.-), alpha-L-arabinofuranosidase (EC 3.2.1.55), arabinanase (EC 3.2.1.99), xylanase (EC 3.2.1.8), endo-alpha-L-arabinanases (beta-xylanases) and galactan 1,3-beta-galactosidase (EC 3.2.1.145) activities. GH43 are inverting enzymes (i.e. they invert the stereochemistry of the anomeric carbon atom of the substrate) that have an aspartate as the catalytic general base, a glutamate as the catalytic general acid and another aspartate that is responsible for pKa modulation and orienting the catalytic acid. Many GH43 enzymes display both alpha-L-arabinofuranosidase and beta-D-xylosidase activity using aryl-glycosides as substrates. A common structural feature of GH43 enzymes is a 5-bladed beta-propeller domain that contains the catalytic acid and catalytic base. A long V-shaped groove, partially enclosed at one end, forms a single extended substrate-binding surface across the face of the propeller.

Glycosyl hydrolase family 43 protein; uncharacterized. This glycosyl hydrolase family 43 (GH43)-like subfamily includes uncharacterized enzymes similar to those with beta-1,4-xylosidase (xylan 1,4-beta-xylosidase; EC 3.2.1.37), beta-1,3-xylosidase (EC 3.2.1.-), alpha-L-arabinofuranosidase (EC 3.2.1.55), arabinanase (EC 3.2.1.99), xylanase (EC 3.2.1.8), endo-alpha-L-arabinanase and galactan 1,3-beta-galactosidase (EC 3.2.1.145) activities. These are inverting enzymes (i.e. they invert the stereochemistry of the anomeric carbon atom of the substrate) that have an aspartate as the catalytic general base, a glutamate as the catalytic general acid and another aspartate that is responsible for pKa modulation and orienting the catalytic acid. Many of the enzymes in this family display both alpha-L-arabinofuranosidase and beta-D-xylosidase activity using aryl-glycosides as substrates. A common structural feature of GH43 enzymes is a 5-bladed beta-propeller domain that contains the catalytic acid and catalytic base.

Glycosyl hydrolase families 43 and 62 form CAZY clan GH-F. This glycosyl hydrolase clan F (according to carbohydrate-active enzymes database (CAZY)) includes family 43 (GH43) and 62 (GH62). GH43 includes enzymes with beta-xylosidase (EC 3.2.1.37), beta-1,3-xylosidase (EC 3.2.1.-), alpha-L-arabinofuranosidase (EC 3.2.1.55), arabinanase (EC 3.2.1.99), xylanase (EC 3.2.1.8), endo-alpha-L-arabinanases (beta-xylanases) and galactan 1,3-beta-galactosidase (EC 3.2.1.145) activities. GH62 includes enzymes characterized as arabinofuranosidases (alpha-L-arabinofuranosidases; EC 3.2.1.55) that specifically cleave either alpha-1,2 or alpha-1,3-L-arabinofuranose side chains from xylans. GH43 are inverting enzymes (i.e. they invert the stereochemistry of the anomeric carbon atom of the substrate) that have an aspartate as the catalytic general base, a glutamate as the catalytic general acid and another aspartate that is responsible for pKa modulation and orienting the catalytic acid. Many of the enzymes in this family display both alpha-L-arabinofuranosidase and beta-D-xylosidase activity using aryl-glycosides as substrates. GH62 are also predicted to be inverting enzymes. A common structural feature of both, GH43 and GH62 enzymes, is a 5-bladed beta-propeller domain that contains the catalytic acid and catalytic base. A long V-shaped groove, partially enclosed at one end, forms a single extended substrate-binding surface across the face of the propeller.

Glycosyl hydrolase family 43 protein such as Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron VPI-5482 alpha-L-arabinofuranosidases (BT3675;BT_3675). This glycosyl hydrolase family 43 (GH43) subgroup includes the Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron VPI-5482 alpha-L-arabinofuranosidases (EC 3.2.1.55) (BT3675;BT_3675) and (BT3662;BT_3662). It belongs to the GH43_bXyl subgroup of the glycosyl hydrolase clan F (according to carbohydrate-active enzymes database (CAZY)) which includes family 43 (GH43) and 62 (GH62) families. The GH43_bXyl subgroup also includes enzymes annotated as having xylan-digesting beta-xylosidase (EC 3.2.1.37) and xylanase (endo-alpha-L-arabinanase, EC 3.2.1.8) activities. GH43 are inverting enzymes (i.e. they invert the stereochemistry of the anomeric carbon atom of the substrate) that have an aspartate as the catalytic general base, a glutamate as the catalytic general acid and another aspartate that is responsible for pKa modulation and orienting the catalytic acid.

Glycosyl hydrolase family 130, such as beta-mammosidase BT3780 and BACOVA_03624. This subfamily contains glycosyl hydrolase family 130, as classified by the carbohydrate-active enzymes database (CAZY), and includes Bacteroides enzymes, BT3780 and BACOVA_03624. Members of this family possess 5-bladed beta-propeller domains similar to families 32, 43, 62, 68, 117 (GH32, GH43, GH62, GH68, GH117). GH130 enzymes are involved in the bacterial utilization of mannans or N-linked glycans. GH130 enzymes have also been shown to target beta-1,2- and beta-1,4-mannosidic linkages where these phosphorylases mediate bond cleavage by a single displacement reaction in which phosphate functions as the catalytic nucleophile. However, some lack the conserved basic residues that bind the phosphate nucleophile, as observed for the Bacteroides enzymes, BT3780 and BACOVA_03624, which are indeed beta-mannosidases that hydrolyze beta-1,2-mannosidic linkages through an inverting mechanism.
