Type: | Conserved_site | Name: | Phosphodiesterase YfcE, conserved site |
Description: | This entry represents a short conserved sequence region found in a family of short, hydrophilic proteins that are all known or suspected phosphodiestreases. The best characterised of these is YfcE from Escherichia coli[]. The physiological substrate for this protein is not known, though it is capable of hydrolysing phosphodiesters bonds in the artificial chromogenic substrate bis-p-nitrophenyl phosphate. YfcE is a tetrameric, managanese-binding protein where each monomer forms a beta-sandwich fold similar to other metallophosphatases. | Short Name: | PdiEstase_YfcE_CS |
