Melibiase. Glycoside hydrolase families GH27, GH31 and GH36 form the glycoside hydrolase clan GH-D. Glycoside hydrolase family 36 can be split into 11 families, GH36A to GH36K. This family includes enzymes from GH36A-B and GH36D-K and from GH27.

glycosyl hydrolase family 36 (GH36). GH36 enzymes occur in prokaryotes, eukaryotes, and archaea with a wide range of hydrolytic activities, including alpha-galactosidase, alpha-N-acetylgalactosaminidase, stachyose synthase, and raffinose synthase. All GH36 enzymes cleave a terminal carbohydrate moiety from a substrate that varies considerably in size, depending on the enzyme, and may be either a starch or a glycoprotein. GH36 members are retaining enzymes that cleave their substrates via an acid/base-catalyzed, double-displacement mechanism involving a covalent glycosyl-enzyme intermediate. Two aspartic acid residues have been identified as the catalytic nucleophile and the acid/base, respectively.

Alpha-galactosidase [Carbohydrate transport and metabolism].

Glycosyl hydrolase family 36 C-terminal domain. This domain is found at the C-terminus of many family 36 glycoside hydrolases. It has a beta-sandwich structure with a Greek key motif.

glycosyl hydrolase family 27 (GH27). GH27 enzymes occur in eukaryotes, prokaryotes, and archaea with a wide range of hydrolytic activities, including alpha-glucosidase (glucoamylase and sucrase-isomaltase), alpha-N-acetylgalactosaminidase, and 3-alpha-isomalto-dextranase. All GH27 enzymes cleave a terminal carbohydrate moiety from a substrate that varies considerably in size, depending on the enzyme, and may be either a starch or a glycoprotein. GH27 members are retaining enzymes that cleave their substrates via an acid/base-catalyzed, double-displacement mechanism involving a covalent glycosyl-enzyme intermediate. Two aspartic acid residues have been identified as the catalytic nucleophile and the acid/base, respectively.
