Beta-L-arabinofuranosidase, GH127. One member of this family, from Bidobacterium longicum, UniProtKB:E8MGH8, has been characterized as an unusual beta-L-arabinofuranosidase enzyme, EC:3.2.1.185. It rleases l-arabinose from the l-arabinofuranose (Araf)-beta1,2-Araf disaccharide and also transglycosylates 1-alkanols with retention of the anomeric configuration. Terminal beta-l-arabinofuranosyl residues have been found in arabinogalactan proteins from a mumber of different plantt species. beta-l-Arabinofuranosyl linkages with 1-4 arabinofuranosides are also found in the sugar chains of extensin and solanaceous lectins, hydroxyproline (Hyp)2-rich glycoproteins that are widely observed in plant cell wall fractions. The critical residue for catalytic activity is Glu-338, in a ET/SCAS sequence context.
Fibronectin type 3 domain; One of three types of internal repeats found in the plasma protein fibronectin. Its tenth fibronectin type III repeat contains an RGD cell recognition sequence in a flexible loop between 2 strands. Approximately 2% of all animal proteins contain the FN3 repeat; including extracellular and intracellular proteins, membrane spanning cytokine receptors, growth hormone receptors, tyrosine phosphatase receptors, and adhesion molecules. FN3-like domains are also found in bacterial glycosyl hydrolases.
opacity-associated protein OapA. This family consists of full-length homologs to OapA, opacity-associated protein A as described in Haemophilus influenzae. OapA shares a C-terminal homology domain, called the OapA domain, with the Escherichia coli protein YtfB, which is now known to bind peptidoglycan through its OapA domain and to act as a cell division protein.
Domain of Unknown Function (DUF1080). This family has structural similarity to an endo-1,3-1,4-beta glucanase belonging to glycoside hydrolase family 16. However, the structure surrounding the active site differs from that of the endo-1,3-1,4-beta glucanase.
