Accepted name: |
funoran endo-β-hydrolase |
Reaction: |
Endohydrolysis of β-(1→4)-linkages between β-D-galactopyranose-6-sulfate and 3,6-anhydro-α-L-galactopyranose units in funoran |
Glossary: |
funoran = [-3)-β-D-galactopyranose-6-sulfate-(1-4)-3,6-anhydro-α-L-galactopyranose-(1-] |
Other name(s): |
β-funoranase |
Systematic name: |
funoran endo β-(1,4)-glycanohydrolase |
Comments: |
The enzyme is an endo hydrolase that hydrolyses the β(1,4) bond in funoran, a polysaccharide produced by red algae of the genus Gloiopeltis. The enzyme from the marine bacterium Wenyingzhuangia aestuarii OF219 acts on agarose with a higher efficiency (cf. EC 3.2.1.81, β-agarase), but binds funoran preferentially. |
