EC | 3.2.1.159 | ||
Accepted name: | α-neoagaro-oligosaccharide hydrolase | ||
Reaction: | Hydrolysis of the (1→3)-α-L-galactosidic linkages of neoagaro-oligosaccharides that are smaller than a hexamer, yielding 3,6-anhydro-L-galactose and D-galactose | ||
Glossary: | In the field of oligosaccharides derived from agarose, carrageenans, etc., in which alternate residues are 3,6-anhydro sugars, the prefix ’neo’ designates an oligosaccharide whose non-reducing end is the anhydro sugar, and the absence of this prefix means that it is not. For example: neoagarobiose = 3,6-anhydro-α-L-galactopyranosyl-(1→3)-D-galactose agarobiose = β-D-galactopyranosyl-(1→4)-3,6-anhydro-L-galactose |

Other name(s): | α-neoagarooligosaccharide hydrolase; α-NAOS hydrolase | ||
Systematic name: | α-neoagaro-oligosaccharide 3-glycohydrolase | ||
Comments: | When neoagarohexaose is used as a substrate, the oligosaccharide is cleaved at the non-reducing end to produce 3,6-anhydro-L-galactose and agaropentaose, which is further hydrolysed to agarobiose and agarotriose. With neoagarotetraose as substrate, the products are predominantly agarotriose and 3,6-anhydro-L-galactose. In Vibrio sp. the actions of EC 3.2.1.81, β-agarase and EC 3.2.1.159 can be used to degrade agarose to 3,6-anhydro-L-galactose and D-galactose. | ||
