Substrate specificities
The PL32 family was created following the functional characterization of the ORF “HMPREF1071_02769” from Bacteroides salyersiae CL02T12C01 (EIY62149.1), which showed endo-mannuronan lyase activity (EC 4.2.2.3) [1]. Shortly afterwards, the sequence was reclassified as PL_nc on the basis of structural modelling revealing that the catalytic domain was restricted to the N-terminal domain [2]. The small number of sequences and the proximity to the PL14 and PL36 families do not allow the creation of a new PL family.
