Pectate Lyase, Cellvibrio japonicus

Pectate Lyase, from Cellvibrio japonicus (EC 4.2.2.2), is an enzyme that contributes to the soft rot of plant tissues. It catalyzes the eliminative cleavage of polygalacturonic acid, resulting in the formation of oligogalacturonides with a non-reducing end containing the 4-deoxy-α-D-mann-4-enuronosyl group.
