Description | This family includes mannan endo-1,4-beta-mannosidases from plants and fungi (). They catalyse the random hydrolysis of (1->4)-beta-D-mannosidic linkages in mannans, galactomannans and glucomannans and are crucial for depolymerization of seed galactomannans and wood galactoglucomannans [ , ]. The deconstruction of the plant cell wall has had increasing importance as a key biological process in the development of a sustainable biofuel industry []. In plants, they are related to the process of weakening the tissues surrounding the embryo during seed germination [].This entry also includes cellulase domain-containing proteins from bacteria. |
