Accepted name: |
pectate disaccharide-lyase |
Reaction: |
(1,4-α-D-galacturonosyl)n = (1,4-α-D-galacturonosyl)n-2 + 4-(4-deoxy-α-D-galact-4-enuronosyl)-D-galacturonate |

Other name(s): |
pectate exo-lyase; exopectic acid transeliminase; exopectate lyase; exopolygalacturonic acid-trans-eliminase; PATE; exo-PATE; exo-PGL; exopolygalacturonate lyase (ambiguous); pelW (gene name); pelX (gene name) |
Systematic name: |
(1→4)-α-D-galacturonan reducing-end-disaccharide-lyase |
Comments: |
The enzyme catalyses the eliminative cleavage of an unsaturated disaccharide from the reducing end of homogalacturonan (the backbone of smooth regions of pectate, also known as de-esterified pectin). |
