Beta-L-arabinofuranosidase, GH127. One member of this family, from Bidobacterium longicum, UniProtKB:E8MGH8, has been characterized as an unusual beta-L-arabinofuranosidase enzyme, EC:3.2.1.185. It rleases l-arabinose from the l-arabinofuranose (Araf)-beta1,2-Araf disaccharide and also transglycosylates 1-alkanols with retention of the anomeric configuration. Terminal beta-l-arabinofuranosyl residues have been found in arabinogalactan proteins from a mumber of different plantt species. beta-l-Arabinofuranosyl linkages with 1-4 arabinofuranosides are also found in the sugar chains of extensin and solanaceous lectins, hydroxyproline (Hyp)2-rich glycoproteins that are widely observed in plant cell wall fractions. The critical residue for catalytic activity is Glu-338, in a ET/SCAS sequence context.
Leucine rich repeats (6 copies). This family includes a number of leucine rich repeats. This family contains a large number of BSPA-like surface antigens from Trichomonas vaginalis.
leucine-rich repeats. A leucine-rich repeat (LRR) is a structural protein motif of 20-30 amino acids that is unusually rich in the hydrophobic amino acid leucine. The conserved eleven-residue sequence motif (LxxLxLxxN/CxL) within the LRRs corresponds to the beta-strand and adjacent loop regions, whereas the remaining parts of the repeats are variable. LRRs fold together to form a solenoid protein domain, termed leucine-rich repeat domain. Leucine-rich repeats are usually involved in protein-protein interactions.
