Phylogenetic analyses suggest multiple changes of substrate specificity within the Glycosyl hydrolase 20 family
1 Jan 2008
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Beta-N-acetylhexosaminidases belonging to the glycosyl hydrolase 20 (GH20) family are involved in the removal of terminal beta-glycosidacally linked N-acetylhexosamine residues. These enzymes, widely distributed in microorganisms, animals and plants, are involved in many important physiological and pathological processes, such as cell structural integrity, energy storage, pathogen defence, viral...
