Glycoside hydrolase family 47
Encyclopedia
In molecular biology, glycoside hydrolase family 47 is a family
of glycoside hydrolases
.
Glycoside hydrolases are a widespread group of enzymes that hydrolyse the glycosidic bond
between two or more carbohydrates, or between a carbohydrate and a non-carbohydrate moiety. A classification system for glycoside hydrolases, based on sequence similarity, has led to the definition of >100 different families. This classification is available on the CAZy(http://www.cazy.org/GH1.html) web site, and also discussed at CAZypedia, an online encyclopedia of carbohydrate active enzymes.
Glycoside hydrolase family 47 CAZY GH_47 comprises enzymes with only one known activity; alpha-mannosidase
.
Alpha-mannosidase is involved in the maturation of Asn
-linked oligosaccharides. The enzyme hydrolyses terminal 1,2-linked alpha-D-mannose residues in the oligo-mannose oligosaccharide man(9)(glcnac)(2) in a calcium-dependent manner. The mannose
residues are trimmed away to produce, first, man(8)glcnac(2), then a man(5)(glcnac)(2) structure.

Mannose
Mannose is a sugar monomer of the aldohexose series of carbohydrates. Mannose is a C-2 epimer of glucose. It is not part of human metabolism, but is a component of microbial cell walls, and is therefore a target of the immune system and also of antibiotics....
