EC 4.2.2.25 Details
EC number
4.2.2.25
Accepted name
gellan lyase
Reaction
Eliminative cleavage of β-D-glucopyranosyl-(1→4)-β-D-glucopyranosyluronate bonds of gellan backbone releasing tetrasaccharides containing a 4-deoxy-4,5-unsaturated D-glucopyranosyluronic acid at the non-reducing end. The tetrasaccharide produced from deacetylated gellan is β-D-4-deoxy-Δ4-GlcAp-(1→4)-β-D-Glcp-(1→4)-α-L-Rhap-(1→3)-β-D-Glcp.
Systematic name
gellan β-D-glucopyranosyl-(1→4)-D-glucopyranosyluronate lyase
Comment
The enzyme is highly specific to gellan, especially deacetylated gellan.
