Glycoside Hydrolase Family 91

CAZypedia needs your help: This page is currently lacking a Responsible Curator and one or more Authors. If you are an expert on this family and would like to help us improve CAZypedia by getting involved with writing and maintaining this page, please contact the Primary Curator.

Undergraduate students, (post)graduate students, post-doctoral researchers, research associates, and professors are all welcomed to contribute!

• If you are interested in contributing to CAZypedia, please see the 10th anniversary publication [1] and this page for an overview of the content and mission of our community-driven resource. Future authors of CAZypedia can include the CAZypedia article [1] and cite individual pages in their curricula vitae to reflect their contribution.
• Until this CAZypedia page is completed, current information on the composition of this family is available via the corresponding page of the CAZy database [2]:

History of reclassification

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 in some members 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 [3, 4].
