Abstract excerpt
Multiple sequence alignment of Streptomyces lividans acetylxylan esterase A and other carbohydrate esterase family 4 enzymes revealed the following conserved amino acid residues: Asp-12, Asp-13, His-62, His-66, Asp-130, and His-155. These amino acids were mutated in order to investigate a functional role of these residues in catalysis. Replacement of the conserved histidine residues by alanine caused significant...
