UniProt functional annotation for Q9RHW0

UniProt code: Q9RHW0.

Organism: Bacillus sp.
Taxonomy: Bacteria; Firmicutes; Bacilli; Bacillales; Bacillaceae; Bacillus.
 
Function: Catalyzes the depolymerization of both polygalacturonate and pectins of methyl esterification degree from 22 to 89%, with an endo mode of action. In contrast to the majority of pectate lyases, displays high activity on highly methylated pectins. {ECO:0000256|RuleBase:RU367009}.
 
Catalytic activity: Reaction=Eliminative cleavage of (1->4)-alpha-D-galacturonan to give oligosaccharides with 4-deoxy-alpha-D-galact-4-enuronosyl groups at their non-reducing ends.; EC=4.2.2.2; Evidence={ECO:0000256|ARBA:ARBA00000695, ECO:0000256|RuleBase:RU367009};
Cofactor: Name=Ca(2+); Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:29108; Evidence={ECO:0000256|ARBA:ARBA00001913, ECO:0000256|RuleBase:RU367009};
Subcellular location: Secreted {ECO:0000256|RuleBase:RU367009}.
Similarity: Belongs to the polysaccharide lyase 3 family. {ECO:0000256|ARBA:ARBA00006463, ECO:0000256|RuleBase:RU367009}.
