Abstract
⺠Family 4 glycosidases with a CHEV active site motif form a monophyletic clade. ⺠The crystal structure of one CHEV glycosidase (LplD) was determined in 2008. ⺠The catalytic activity of these enzymes has until now remained unknown. ⺠These enzymes are α-galacturonidases. ⺠They employ a non-canonical redox-assisted catalytic mechanism.
