Beta-galactosidase. This group of beta-galactosidase enzymes belong to the glycosyl hydrolase 42 family. The enzyme catalyzes the hydrolysis of terminal, non-reducing terminal beta-D-galactosidase residues.
A4 beta-galactosidase middle domain: a type 1 glutamine amidotransferase (GATase1)-like domain. A4 beta-galactosidase middle domain: a type 1 glutamine amidotransferase (GATase1)-like domain. This group includes proteins similar to beta-galactosidase from Thermus thermophilus. Beta-Galactosidase hydrolyzes the beta-1,4-D-galactosidic linkage of lactose, as well as those of related chromogens, o-nitrophenyl-beta-D-galactopyranoside (ONP-Gal) and 5-bromo-4-chloro-3-indolyl-beta-D-galactoside (X-gal). This A4 beta-galactosidase middle domain lacks the catalytic triad of typical GATase1 domains. The reactive Cys residue found in the sharp turn between a beta strand and an alpha helix termed the nucleophile elbow in typical GATase1 domains is not conserved in this group.
Beta-galactosidase trimerisation domain. This is non catalytic domain B of beta-galactosidase enzymes belong to the glycosyl hydrolase 42 family. This domain is related to glutamine amidotransferase enzymes, but the catalytic residues are replaced by non functional amino acids. This domain is involved in trimerisation.
DEXS-box helicase domain of RecD and similar proteins. RecD is a member of the RecBCD (EC 3.1.11.5, Exonuclease V) complex. It is the alpha chain of the complex and functions as a 3'-5' helicase. The RecBCD enzyme is both a helicase that unwinds, or separates the strands of DNA, and a nuclease that makes single-stranded nicks in DNA. RecD is a member of the DEAD-like helicase superfamily, a diverse family of proteins involved in ATP-dependent RNA or DNA unwinding. This domain contains the ATP-binding region.
