Rhamnogalacturonan lyase of the polysaccharide lyase family 11. The rhamnogalacturonan lyase of the polysaccharide lyase family 11 (RGL11) cleaves glycoside bonds in polygalacturonan as well as RG (rhamnogalacturonan) type-I through a beta-elimination reaction. Functionally characterized members of this family, YesW and YesX from Bacillus subtilis, cleave glycoside bonds between rhamnose and galacturonic acid residues in the RG-I region of plant cell wall pectin. YesW and YesX work synergistically, with YesW cleaving the glycoside bond of the RG chain endolytically, and YesX converting the resultant oligosaccharides through an exotype reaction. This domain is sometimes found in architectures with non-catalytic carbohydrate-binding modules (CBMs). There are two types of RG lyases, which both cleave the alpha-1,4 bonds of the RG-I main chain through a beta-elimination reaction, but belong to two structurally unrelated polysaccharide lyase (PL) families, 4 and 11.

Outer membrane protein assembly factor BamB, contains PQQ-like beta-propeller repeat [Cell wall/membrane/envelope biogenesis].

Repeat domain in Vibrio, Colwellia, Bradyrhizobium and Shewanella. This domain of about 100 residues is found in multiple (up to 35) copies in long proteins from several species of Vibrio, Colwellia, Bradyrhizobium, and Shewanella (hence the name VCBS) and in smaller copy numbers in proteins from several other bacteria. The large protein size and repeat copy numbers, species distribution, and suggested activities of several member proteins suggests a role for this domain in adhesion (TIGR).
