Description | This is a family of endo-beta-1,3(4)-glucanases belonging to glycoside hydrolase family 81 ( ) that are also known as Glucan endo-1,3-beta-D-glucosidases. Proteins in this entry include fission yeast Eng1/Eng2 and budding yeast Dse4 (also known as Eng1). They have been shown to hydrolyse linear beta-1,3-glucan chains []. Eng1 is required for the degradation of the primary septum after completion of cytokinesis [, ]. Eng2 may couple the endocytic coat to the actin module []. This entry also includes some uncharacterised proteins from plants and bacteria.O-Glycosyl hydrolases ( ) are a widespread group of enzymes that hydrolyse the glycosidic bond between two or more carbohydrates, or between a carbohydrate and a non-carbohydrate moiety. A classification system for glycosyl hydrolases, based on sequence similarity, has led to the definition of 85 different families [ , ]. This classification is available on the CAZy (CArbohydrate-Active EnZymes) website. |
