ABSTRACT
The substitution and de-substitution of carbohydrate materials are important steps in the biosynthesis and/or breakdown of a wide variety of biologically important polymers. The SGNH hydrolase superfamily is a group of related and well-studied proteins with a highly conserved catalytic fold and mechanism composed of 16 member families. SGNH hydrolases can be found in vertebrates, plants, fungi, bacteria, and archaea, and play a variety of important biological roles related to biomass conversion, pathogenesis, and cell signaling. The SGNH hydrolase superfamily is chiefly composed of a diverse range of carbohydrate-modifying enzymes, including but not limited to the carbohydrate esterase families 2, 3, 6, 12 and 17 under the carbohydrate-active enzyme classification system and database (CAZy.org). In this review, we summarize the structural and functional features that delineate these subfamilies of SGNH hydrolases, and which generate the wide variety of substrate preferences and enzymatic activities observed of these proteins to date.
