Structural highlights
Function
GCE_HYPJQ Glucuronoyl esterase which may play a significant role in biomass degradation, as it is considered to disconnect hemicellulose from lignin through the hydrolysis of the ester bond between 4-O-methyl-D-glucuronic acid residues of glucuronoxylans and aromatic alcohols of lignin. Does not hydrolyze substrates of other carbohydrate esterases such as acetylxylan esterase, acetyl esterase and feruloyl esterase.[1] [2]
