Protein
Rhamnogalacturonan acetylesterase RhgT
Organism
Bacillus subtilis (strain 168)
Function
May play a role in the degradation of type I rhamnogalacturonan derived from plant cell walls. This enzyme has a broad substrate specificity, and shows strong preference for glucose pentaacetate, beta-naphthylacetate, and p-nitrophenyl acetate (pNPA). Also active toward acetylated xylan.
Similarity
Belongs to the 'GDSL' lipolytic enzyme family.
