| EC | 3.5.1.46 | ||
| Accepted name: | 6-aminohexanoate-oligomer exohydrolase | ||
| Reaction: | (1) [N-(6-aminohexanoyl)]n + H2O = [N-(6-aminohexanoyl)]n-1 + 6-aminohexanoate (2) N-(6-aminohexanoyl)-6-aminohexanoate + H2O = 2 6-aminohexanoate |
||
| Other name(s): | 6-aminohexanoate-dimer hydrolase; nylB (gene name); 6-aminohexanoic acid oligomer hydrolase (ambiguous); N-(6-aminohexanoyl)-6-aminohexanoate amidohydrolase; nylon-6 hydrolase (ambiguous) | ||
| Systematic name: | N-(6-aminohexanoyl)-6-aminohexanoate exoamidohydrolase | ||
| Comments: | The enzyme is involved in degradation of nylon-6 oligomers. It degrades linear oligomers of 6-aminohexanoate with a degree of polymerization of 2–20 by exo-type cleavage, removing residues sequentially from the N-terminus. Activity decreases with the increase of the polymerization number of the oligomer. cf. EC 3.5.1.117, 6-aminohexanoate-oligomer endohydrolase and EC 3.5.2.12, 6-aminohexanoate-cyclic-dimer hydrolase. | ||
