EC 3.2.1.120     
Accepted name: oligoxyloglucan β-glycosidase
Reaction: Hydrolysis of (1→4)-β-D-glucosidic links in oligoxyloglucans so as to remove successive isoprimeverose [i.e. α-xylo-(1→6)-β-D-glucosyl-] residues from the non-reducing chain ends
Other name(s): isoprimeverose-producing oligoxyloglucan hydrolase; oligoxyloglucan hydrolase
Systematic name: oligoxyloglucan xyloglucohydrolase
Links to other databases: BRENDA, EXPASY, KEGG, MetaCyc, CAS registry number: 97162-80-6

EC 3.2.1.149     
Accepted name: β-primeverosidase
Reaction: a 6-O-(β-D-xylopyranosyl)-β-D-glucopyranoside + H2O = 6-O-(β-D-xylopyranosyl)-β-D-glucopyranose + an alcohol
Glossary: primeverose = 6-O-(β-D-xylopyranosyl)-D-glucose
vicianose = 6-O-(α-L-arabinopyranosyl)-D-glucose
Systematic name: 6-O-(β-D-xylopyranosyl)-β-D-glucopyranoside 6-O-(β-D-xylosyl)-β-D-glucohydrolase
Comments: The enzyme is responsible for the formation of the alcoholic aroma in oolong and black tea. In addition to β-primeverosides [i.e. 6-O-(β-D-xylopyranosyl)-β-D-glucopyranosides], it also hydrolyses 6-O-(β-D-apiofuranosyl)-β-D-glucopyranosides and, less rapidly, β-vicianosides and 6-O-(α-L-arabinofuranosyl)-β-D-glucopyranosides, but not β-glucosides. Geranyl-, linaloyl-, benzyl- and p-nitrophenol glycosides are all hydrolysed.
