Comment on tertiary structural relatedness of GH101 and GH13

Dear Warren,

I would like to pay your attention on some data about GH101 family:

• You have written, that 'the recently solved 3D structure of SpGH101 reveals that this protein surprisingly shares some structural features with GH13 alpha-amylases', but it is not so surprising. According to PSI-BLAST searches, GH101 is related to GH13, GH31 and many other (β/α)₈-barrel glycoside hydrolases [1, 2].
• According to BLAST searches, the seventh domain of SpGH101 and BlGH101 belongs to family NEW3 of the functionally uncharacterized domains [3].
