The focus of the study was on a detailed sequence comparison of rBAT and 4F2hc proteins from as wide as possible taxonomic spectrum and enzyme specificities from the a-amylase family. The GH13 enzymes were selected from the so-called GH13 oligo-1 6-glucosidase and neopullulanase subfamilies that represent the a-amylase family enzyme groups most closely related to hcHATs. Within this study more than 30 hcHAT-like proteins designated here as hcHAT1 and hcHAT2 groups were identified in basal Metazoa. Of the GH13 catalytic triad only the catalytic nucleophile aspartic acid 199 of the oligo-1 6-glucosidase could have its counterpart in some 4F2hc proteins whereas most rBATs contain the correspondences for the entire GH13 catalytic triad. Moreover the 4F2hc proteins lack not only domain B typical for GH13 enzymes but also a stretch of 40 amino acid residues succeeding the b4-strand of the catalytic TIM barrel. rBATs have the entire domain B as well as longer loop 4.
