Summary
Sialidase superfamily
This superfamily includes sialidases enzymes. Several viruses use sialic acid as a cell surface receptor for host invasion. These viruses then have cell surface neuraminidase enzymes to cleave sialic acid from cell surface proteins allowing them to leave the host cell after replication. This superfamily are composed of six beta-sheets that form a six-fold beta-propeller structure. Many members of this superfamily contain BNR sequence motifs Pfam:PF02012.
This clan contains 16 families and the total number of domains in the clan is 34124. The clan was built by A Bateman.

Structures
For those sequences which have a structure in the Protein DataBank, we use the mapping between UniProt, PDB and Pfam coordinate systems from the MSD group, to allow us to map Pfam domains onto UniProt three-dimensional structures. The table below shows the mapping between the Pfam families in this clan, the corresponding UniProt entries, and the region of the three-dimensional structures that are available for that sequence.
