| Accepted name: |
galactan exo-1,6-β-galactobiohydrolase (non-reducing end) |
| Reaction: |
Hydrolysis of (1→6)-β-D-galactosidic linkages in arabinogalactan proteins and (1→3):(1→6)-β-galactans to yield (1→6)-β-galactobiose as the final product. |
| Other name(s): |
exo-β-1,6-galactobiohydrolase; 1,6Gal (gene name) |
| Systematic name: |
exo-β-(1→6)-galactobiohydrolase (non-reducing end) |
| Comments: |
The enzyme, characterized from the bacterium Bifidobacterium longum, specifically hydrolyses (1→6)-β-galactobiose from the non-reducing terminal of (1→6)-β-D-galactooligosaccharides with a degree of polymerization (DP) of 3 or higher, using an exo mode of action. The enzyme cannot hydrolyse α-L-arabinofuranosylated (1→6)-β-galactans (as found in arabinogalactans) and does not act on (1→3)-β-D- or (1→4)-β-D-galactans. cf. EC 3.2.1.164, galactan endo-1,6-β-galactosidase. |
