Abstract excerpt
alpha-Mannosidase enzymes comprise a class of gylcoside hydrolases involved in the maturation and degradaton of glycoprotein-linked oligosaccharides. Various alpha-mannosidase enzymatic activities are encoded by an ancient and ubiquitous gene superfamily. A comparative sequence analysis was employed here to characterize the evolutionary relationships and dynamics of the alpha-mannosidase superfamily. A series of...
