Vibrio cholerae WavL and similar sequences. This family is most closely related to the GT4 family of glycosyltransferases. WavL in Vibrio cholerae has been shown to be involved in the biosynthesis of the lipopolysaccharide core.

Putative catalytic NodB homology domain of PgaB, IcaB, and similar proteins which consist of a deformed (beta/alpha)8 barrel fold with 5- or 6-strands. 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 bacterial poly-beta-1,6-N-acetyl-D-glucosamine N-deacetylase PgaB, hemin storage system HmsF protein in gram-negative species, intercellular adhesion proteins IcaB, and many uncharacterized prokaryotic polysaccharide deacetylases. It also includes a putative polysaccharide deacetylase YxkH encoded by the Bacillus subtilis yxkH gene, which is one of six polysaccharide deacetylase gene homologs present in the Bacillus subtilis genome. Sequence comparison shows all family members contain a conserved domain similar to the catalytic NodB homology domain of rhizobial NodB-like proteins, which consists of a deformed (beta/alpha)8 barrel fold with 6 or 7 strands. However, in this family, most proteins have 5 strands and some have 6 strands. Moreover, long insertions are found in many family members, whose function remains unknown.

Putative catalytic NodB homology domain of a hypothetical protein Ecf1 from Escherichia coli and similar proteins. This family contains a hypothetical protein Ecf1 from Escherichia coli and its prokaryotic homologs. Although their biochemical properties remain to be determined, members in this family contain a conserved domain with a 5-stranded beta/alpha barrel, which is similar to the catalytic NodB homology domain of rhizobial NodB-like proteins, belonging to the larger carbohydrate esterase 4 (CE4) superfamily.

Maltose O-acyltransferase (MAT)-like: This family is composed of maltose O-acetyltransferase, galactoside O-acetyltransferase (GAT), xenobiotic acyltransferase (XAT) and similar proteins. MAT and GAT catalyze the CoA-dependent acetylation of the 6-hydroxyl group of their respective sugar substrates. MAT acetylates maltose and glucose exclusively while GAT specifically acetylates galactopyranosides. XAT catalyzes the CoA-dependent acetylation of a variety of hydroxyl-bearing acceptors such as chloramphenicol and streptogramin, among others. XATs are implicated in inactivating xenobiotics leading to xenobiotic resistance in patients. Members of this family contain a a left-handed parallel beta-helix (LbH) domain with at least 5 turns, each containing three imperfect tandem repeats of a hexapeptide repeat motif (X-[STAV]-X-[LIV]-[GAED]-X). They are trimeric in their active form.

Putative catalytic polysaccharide deacetylase domain of uncharacterized protein yadE and similar proteins. This family contains an uncharacterized protein yadE from Escherichia coli and its bacterial homologs. Although its molecular function remains unknown, yadE shows high sequence similarity with the catalytic NodB homology domain of outer membrane lipoprotein PgaB and the surface-attached protein intercellular adhesion protein IcaB. Both PgaB and IcaB are essential in bacterial biofilm formation.
