| Activities in Family | Lytic xylan monooxygenase / xylan oxidase (C4-dehydrogenating) (EC 1.14.99.-); Lytic chitin monooxygenase (EC 1.14.99.53); Lytic cellulose monooxygenase (C1-hydroxylating) (EC 1.14.99.54); Lytic cellulose monooxygenase (C4-dehydrogenating) (EC 1.14.99.56); |
|---|---|
| Mechanism | monooxygenase |
| Note | AA10 (formerly CBM33). The enzymes in this family were originally classified as chitin-binding proteins (CBM33); Vaaje-Kolstad et al. have shown that these proteins are in fact oxidative enzymes [PMID - 20929773]. They are now reclassified in the AA category of CAZy. Because a significant literature is associated with the old name CBM33, we recommend to describe these enzymes as "AA10 (formerly CBM33)". |
