Accepted name: |
α-L-rhamnosyl-(1→4)-D-glucuronate lyase |
Reaction: |
α-L-rhamnosyl-(1→4)-D-glucuronate = L-rhamnopyranose + 4-deoxy-L-threo-hex-4-enopyranuronate |
Other name(s): |
L-rhamnose-α-1,4-D-glucuronate lyase; FoRham (gene name) |
Systematic name: |
α-L-rhamnosyl-(1→4)-D-glucuronate lyase |
Comments: |
The enzyme, characterized from the phytopathogenic fungus Fusarium oxysporum, removes the rhamnosyl residue from α-L-rhamnosyl-(1→4)-D-glucuronate or (with lower activity) from oligosaccharides that contain this motif at the non-reducing end, leaving an unsaturated glucuronate residue. Among its natural substrates is the type II arabinogalactan component of gum arabic. |
