ESTHER family : Lipase_2
Comment :
This group of lipases has been called class 2 as they are not clearly related to other lipase families, and includes LipA and LipB from Bacillus subtilis. A novel type of hydrolase was purified from culture fluid of Paucimonas. Biochemical characterization revealed an unusual substrate specificity of the purified enzyme for amorphous poly((R)-3-hydroxyalkanoates PHA and no homologies to any other PHB depolymerase (Arpigny_Jaeger Family IX). Two other subfamilies described in: Arpigny and Jaeger (1999), Jaeger and Eggert (Family I.4 and Family I.7) are included in Lipase_2
