EC 3.2.1.156     
Accepted name: oligosaccharide reducing-end xylanase
Reaction: Hydrolysis of (1→4)-β-D-xylose residues from the reducing end of oligosaccharides
Other name(s): Rex; reducing end xylose-releasing exo-oligoxylanase
Systematic name: β-D-xylopyranosyl-(1→4)-β-D-xylopyranose reducing-end xylanase
Comments: The enzyme, originally isolated from the bacterium Bacillus halodurans C-125, releases the xylose unit at the reducing end of oligosaccharides ending with the structure β-D-xylopyranosyl-(1→4)-β-D-xylopyranosyl-(1→4)-β-D-xylopyranose, leaving the new reducing end in the α configuration. It is specific for the β anomers of xylooligosaccharides whose degree of polymerization is equal to or greater than 3. The penultimate residue must be β-D-xylopyranose, but replacing either of the flanking residues with glucose merely slows the rate greatly.
