Abstract

Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) are highly negatively charged polysaccharides, formed from disaccharide repeating units. For a number of bacterial species, including Flavobacterium heparinum synthesize GAG lyases, these enzymes are used to degrade and utilise glycosaminoglycans as a source of carbon in the bacterium's natural environment. In topological terms, the known structures of polysaccharide lyases fall within two protein fold families. Pectin and pectate lyases, as well as chondroitin lyase B belong to the right-handed parallel beta-helix family and have the substrate-binding site in roughly the same topological location. The second topological family, all of which contain a domain consisting of an incomplete (alpha/alpha)5 toroid, includes chondroitin AC lyase family, and alginate lyase A1-III family from Sphingomonas species A1 [PubMed11327856].

Browse genome assignments for this superfamily. The SUPERFAMILY hidden Markov model library has been used to carry out SCOP domain assignments to all genomes at the superfamily level.


Alignments of sequences to 7 models in this superfamily are available by clicking on the 'Alignments' icon above. PDB sequences less than 40% identical are shown by default, but any other sequence(s) may be aligned. Select PDB sequences, genome sequences, or paste in or upload your own sequences.


Browse and view proteins in genomes which have different domain combinations including a Chondroitin AC/alginate lyase domain.


Examine the distribution of domain superfamilies, or families, across the major taxonomic kingdoms or genomes within a kingdom. This gives an immediate impression of how superfamilies, or families, are restricted to certain kingdoms of life.


Explore domain occurrence network where nodes represent genomes and edges are domain architectures (shared between genomes) containing the superfamily of interest.

There are 7 hidden Markov models representing the Chondroitin AC/alginate lyase superfamily. Information on how the models are built, and plots showing hydrophobicity, match emmission probabilities and insertion/deletion probabilities can be inspected.
