| description | 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.Glycoside hydrolase family 25 comprises enzymes with only one known activity; lysozyme ().It has been shown [, ]that a number of cell-wall lytic enzymes are evolutionary related and can be classified into a single family.Two residues, an aspartate and a glutamate, have been shown []to beimportant for the catalytic activity of the Charalopsisenzyme. These residuesas well as some others in their vicinity are conserved in all proteins fromthis family. |
