Polysaccharide Lyase Family 19
This page has been approved by the Responsible Curator as essentially complete. CAZypedia is a living document, so further improvement of this page is still possible. If you would like to suggest an addition or correction, please contact the page's Responsible Curator directly by e-mail.
This family has been deleted from the CAZy classification. A specific explanation may be found below.
PL19 is a deleted family
Entries in Glycoside Hydrolase Family 91 were reclassified to Polysaccharide Lyase Family 19 on 30 July 2008 due to recommendations of the NC-IUBMB, which stated that these enzymes are lyases, as there is no water involved in the reaction. Indeed, polysaccharide cleavage occurs via intramolecular hydroxide attack, rather than glycosidic bond hydrolysis (see EC 4.2.2.17 and EC 4.2.2.18).
The family was placed back to Glycoside Hydrolase Family 91 on 20 April 2010 due to direct analogy with the lytic transglycosidases of GH23, GH102, GH103, and GH104 and in particular the observation of a hydrolase (di-fructofuranose 1,2':2,3' dianhydride hydrolase, DFA-IIIase) in this family [1, 2, 3].
