The article presents an overview of current ideas about the genetic organisation and functional characteristics of pectinolytic enzyme systems in basidiomycetes. The main families of enzymes involved in the degradation of pectin compounds are analysed, in particular glycosyl hydrolases (GH), polysaccharide lyases (PL) and carbohydrate esterases (CE), as well as the corresponding genes found in representatives of the genera Agaricus, Armillaria, Flammulina, Laccaria, Lentinula, Pleurotus, Schizophyllum and Trametes. A comparative characterisation of the genomes of these fungi is provided in terms of the quantitative indicators of pectinase genes, their structural affiliation and potential functional activity. Methodological approaches to studying pectinolytic potential are considered, in particular sequencing, transcriptomics, biochemical methods and comparative genomics tools. Prospects for further research in the context of the biotechnological application of enzymes of this group are outlined.
