Abstract

Glycoside hydrolase family 6 comprises enzymes with several known activities; endoglucanase ; cellobiohydrolase . These enzymes were formerly known as cellulase family B.

The 3D structure of the enzymatic core of cellobiohydrolase II (CBHII) from the fungus Trichoderma reesei reveals an alpha-beta protein with a fold similar to the ubiquitous barrel topology first seen in triose phosphate isomerase [PubMed2377893]. The active site of CBHII is located at the C-terminal end of a parallel beta barrel, in an enclosed tunnel through which the cellulose threads. Two aspartic acid residues, located in the centre of the tunnel are the probable catalytic residues [PubMed2377893].

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 5 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 Glycosyl hydrolases family 6, cellulases 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 5 hidden Markov models representing the Glycosyl hydrolases family 6, cellulases superfamily. Information on how the models are built, and plots showing hydrophobicity, match emmission probabilities and insertion/deletion probabilities can be inspected.
