Description

IPR005084 is a Carbohydrate binding module family 6.

<p>This entry represents [cazy:CBM6] which was previously known as cellulose-binding domain family VI (CBD VI). CBM6 bind to amorphous cellulose, xylan, mixed beta-(1,3)(1,4)glucan and beta-1,3-glucan [[cite:PUB00032219], [cite:PUB00033743], [cite:PUB00031940]].</p> <p>CBM6 adopts a classic lectin-like β-jelly roll fold, predominantly consisting of five antiparallel β-strands on one face and four antiparallel β-strands on the other face. It contains two potential ligand binding sites, named respectively cleft A and B. These clefts include aromatic residues which are probably involved in the substrate binding. The cleft B is located on the concave surface of one β-sheet, and the cleft A on one edge of the protein between the loop that connects the inner and outer β-sheets of the jellyroll fold [[cite:PUB00033744]]. The multiple binding clefts confer the extensive range of specificities displayed by the domain [[cite:PUB00032219], [cite:PUB00033743], [cite:PUB00031940]].</p> <p>A carbohydrate-binding module (CBM) is defined as a contiguous amino acid sequence within a carbohydrate-active enzyme with a discreet fold having carbohydrate-binding activity. A few exceptions are CBMs in cellulosomal scaffolding proteins and rare instances of independent putative CBMs. The requirement of CBMs existing as modules within larger enzymes sets this class of carbohydrate-binding protein apart from other non-catalytic sugar binding proteins such as lectins and sugar transport proteins.</p> <p>CBMs were previously classified as cellulose-binding domains (CBDs) based on the initial discovery of several modules that bound cellulose [[cite:PUB00054922], [cite:PUB00054923]]. However, additional modules in carbohydrate-active enzymes are continually being found that bind carbohydrates other than cellulose yet otherwise meet the CBM criteria, hence the need to reclassify these polypeptides using more inclusive terminology.</p> <p>Previous classification of cellulose-binding domains were based on amino acid similarity. Groupings of CBDs were called "Types" and numbered with roman numerals (e.g. Type I or Type II CBDs). In keeping with the glycoside hydrolase classification, these groupings are now called families and numbered with Arabic numerals. Families 1 to 13 are the same as Types I to XIII. For a detailed review on the structure and binding modes of CBMs see [[cite:PUB00054924]].</p>
