Type:  Family Name:  Trehalase, periplasmic
Description:  O-Glycosyl hydrolases () are a widespread group of enzymes that hydrolyse the glycosidic bond between two or more carbohydrates, or between a carbohydrate and a non-carbohydrate moiety. A classification system for glycosyl hydrolases, based on sequence similarity, has led to the definition of 85 different families [, ]. This classification is available on the CAZy (CArbohydrate-Active EnZymes) web site.Glycoside hydrolase family 37 comprises enzymes with only one known activity; trehalase ().Trehalase is the enzyme responsible for the degradation of the disaccharide alpha,alpha-trehalose yielding two glucose subunits []. It is an enzyme found in a wide variety of organisms and whose sequence has been highly conserved throughout evolution.This entry represents a family of bacterial cytoplasic trehalases, a product of the treA gene. It does not include the related TreF family of periplasmic trehalases. Under conditions of osmotic stress, E. coli may synthesize trehalose and utilise trehalose as a carbon source [, , ].
