- Abstract
Abstract: The glycoside hydrolase family 119 (GH119) contains the α-amylase from Bacillus circulans and five other hypothetical proteins. Until now, nothing has been reported on the catalytic residues and catalytic-domain fold of GH119. Based on a detailed in silico analysis involving sequence comparison in combination with BLAST searches and structural modelling, an unambiguous relationship was revealed between the families GH119 and GH57. This includes sharing the catalytic residues, i.e. Glu231 and Asp373 as catalytic nucleophile and proton donor, respectively, in the predicted catalytic (β/α)7-barrel domain of GH119 B. circulans α-amylase. The GH57 and GH119 families may thus define a new CAZy clan.
