Endoglucanase E-like members of the SGNH hydrolase family; Endoglucanase E catalyzes the endohydrolysis of 1,4-beta-glucosidic linkages in cellulose, lichenin and cereal beta-D-glucans.
SGNH_hydrolase, or GDSL_hydrolase, is a diverse family of lipases and esterases. The tertiary fold of the enzyme is substantially different from that of the alpha/beta hydrolase family and unique among all known hydrolases; its active site closely resembles the typical Ser-His-Asp(Glu) triad from other serine hydrolases, but may lack the carboxlic acid.
NnaC (CMP-NeuNAc synthetase) _like subfamily of SGNH_hydrolases, a diverse family of lipases and esterases. The tertiary fold of the enzyme is substantially different from that of the alpha/beta hydrolase family and unique among all known hydrolases; its active site closely resembles two of the three components of typical Ser-His-Asp(Glu) triad from other serine hydrolases. E. coli NnaC appears to be involved in polysaccharide synthesis.
