1cuz is a 1 chain structure with sequence from Fusarium vanettenii. Full crystallographic information is available from OCA. For a guided tour on the structure components use FirstGlance.
CUTI1_FUSVN Catalyzes the hydrolysis of complex carboxylic polyesters found in the cell wall of plants (PubMed:18658138, PubMed:8286366, PubMed:8555209, PubMed:19810726). Degrades cutin, a macromolecule that forms the structure of the plant cuticle (PubMed:18658138, PubMed:8286366, PubMed:8555209, PubMed:19810726). Allows pathogenic fungi to penetrate through the cuticular barrier into the host plant during the initial stage of fungal infection (Ref.4).[1][2][3][4] [PROSITE-ProRule:PRU10109]
