We apologize for Proteopedia being slow to respond. For the past two years, a new implementation of Proteopedia has been being built. Soon, it will replace this 18-year old system. All existing content will be moved to the new system at a date that will be announced here.

proteopedia linkproteopedia link Polygalacturonases (PGs) catalyze the enzymatic depolymerization of pectins – polysaccharides that comprise the plant cell wall. Polymer disassembly of substrates by
exo- and
endo- PGs is carried out via a hydrolytic mechanism. Degradation of pectins in plant cell walls contributes to ripening of fruits, such as tomatoes and melons
(Polygalacturonases: many genes in search of a function).

Function
PGs cleave α-(1-4) – glycosidic bonds between consecutive galacturonic acid residues.
