- * Trehalase signatures *
- ************************
-
- Trehalase (EC 3.2.1.28) is the enzyme responsible for the degradation of the
- disaccharide alpha,alpha-trehalose yielding two glucose subunits [1]. It is
- an enzyme found in a wide variety of organisms and whose sequence has been
- highly conserved throughout evolution.
-
- As signature patterns we selected two of the most highly conserved regions.
- The first pattern is located in the central section, the second one is in the
- C-terminal region.
-
- -Consensus pattern: P-G-G-R-F-x-E-x-Y-x-W-D-x-Y
- -Sequences known to belong to this class detected by the pattern: ALL.
- -Other sequence(s) detected in SWISS-PROT: NONE.
-
- -Consensus pattern: Q-W-D-x-P-x-[GA]-W-[PA]-P
- -Sequences known to belong to this class detected by the pattern: ALL.
- -Other sequence(s) detected in SWISS-PROT: NONE.
-
- -Note: these proteins belong to family 37 in the classification of glycosyl
- hydrolases [2].
