Non-viral sialidases. Sialidases or neuraminidases function to bind and hydrolyze terminal sialic acid residues from various glycoconjugates, they play vital roles in pathogenesis, bacterial nutrition and cellular interactions. They have a six-bladed, beta-propeller fold with the non-viral sialidases containing 2-5 Asp-box motifs (most commonly Ser/Thr-X-Asp-[X]-Gly-X-Thr- Trp/Phe). This CD includes eubacterial and eukaryotic sialidases.
Inorganic pyrophosphatase. These enzymes hydrolyze inorganic pyrophosphate (PPi) to two molecules of orthophosphates (Pi). The reaction requires bivalent cations. The enzymes in general exist as homooligomers.
