| UniProt functional annotation for P04960 | |||
| UniProt code: P04960. |
| Organism: | Dickeya chrysanthemi (Pectobacterium chrysanthemi) (Erwinia chrysanthemi). | |
| Taxonomy: | Bacteria; Proteobacteria; Gammaproteobacteria; Enterobacterales; Pectobacteriaceae; Dickeya. | |
| Function: | Involved in maceration and soft-rotting of plant tissue. | |
| 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; | |
| Cofactor: | Name=Ca(2+); Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:29108; Note=Binds 1 Ca(2+) ion per subunit.; | |
| Pathway: | Glycan metabolism; pectin degradation; 2-dehydro-3-deoxy-D- gluconate from pectin: step 2/5. | |
| Subcellular location: | Secreted. | |
| Miscellaneous: | Pectate lyases have been implicated as pathogenicity factors which induce maceration or rotting of plant tissue. PelE is sufficient to induce these effects under laboratory conditions. | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the polysaccharide lyase 1 family. PLBC subfamily. {ECO:0000305}. | |
