Alpha amylase is classified as family 13 of the glycosyl hydrolases. The structure is an 8 stranded alpha/beta barrel containing the active site, interrupted by a ~70 a.a. calcium-binding domain protruding between beta strand 3 and alpha helix 3, and a carboxyl-terminal Greek key beta-barrel domain.
Enzymes of the Glycoside hydrolase family 13 typically show three domains A, B and C. In addition to these, Alpha-amylase SusG from Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron (Swiss:Q8A1G3) includes the insertion of a unique carbohydrate binding module (CBM) famil ...
Enzymes of the Glycoside hydrolase family 13 typically show three domains A, B and C. In addition to these, Alpha-amylase SusG from Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron (Swiss:Q8A1G3) includes the insertion of a unique carbohydrate binding module (CBM) family 58 (this entry), which gives the protein an elongated shape. SusG, located on the outer membrane of the cell, cleaves starch into oligosaccharides before internalisation for degradation. CBM58 is approximately 120 residues in length. This domain folds into a beta sandwich and adopts an immunoglobulin-like topology with a flat five-stranded antiparallel beta sheet opposing a four-stranded antiparallel beta sheet which features three protruding loops. Y260, W287, and W299 form the starch-binding site [1, 2, 3].

This entry represents the C-terminal domain found in the starch utilization system protein G (SusG) from bacteria. SusG forms part of the SusDEFG lipoprotein complex tethered to the outer surface of the cell and is involved in starch hydrolysis and subsequent utilization of the resulting sugars as an energy source [1]. SusG has been shown to have enzymatic starch-hydrolysing activity [2]. This entry also represents the C-terminal domain of other oligo-1,6-glucosidases, such as the trehalose-6-phosphate hydrolase TreA, glucan 1,6-alpha-glucosidase dexB and Oligo-1,6-glucosidase 1 malL from bacteria. The function of this domain is unknown.
