Characterization of a galactosyl-binding protein module from a Cellvibrio japonicus endo-xyloglucanase defines a new family of Carbohydrate Binding Modules.

This study reveals Carbohydrate Binding Module Family 88 (CBM88) as a new family of galactose-binding protein modules, which are found in series with diverse microbial glycoside hydrolases, polysaccharide lyases, and carbohydrate esterases. The definition of CBM88 in the Carbohydrate-Active Enzymes classification (http://www.cazy.org/CBM88.html) will significantly enable future microbial (meta)genome analysis and functional studies.
