This domain is found in a range of enzymes that act on branched substrates - isoamylase, pullulanase and branching enzyme. This family also contains the beta subunit of 5' AMP activated kinase.

Isoamylases (ISOAs) are starch debranching enzymes, including ISOA1, ISOA2 and ISOA3. ISOA1-2 are known to form a large complex and being involved in the biosynthesis and crystallization of starch. ISOA3 is involved in starch catabolism and removes different branches than ISA1-ISA2, namely short chains that prevent amylopectin crystallization [2]. This is the C-terminal beta-sandwich domain from ISOA1-3. In ISOA1, this domain is involved in dimerisation of homodimers and suggests a similar interaction to form ISOA1-ISOA2 heterodimers [1].
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, a ...
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.
