ENZYME entry: EC 3.1.1.73

PURL: https://purl.expasy.org/enzyme/EC/3.1.1.73
Accepted Name
feruloyl esterase
Alternative Name(s)
cinnamoyl ester hydrolase
ferulic acid esterase
hydroxycinnamoyl esterase
Reaction catalysed
feruloyl-polysaccharide + H2O = ferulate + polysaccharide
Comment(s)
  • Catalyzes the hydrolysis of the 4-hydroxy-3-methoxycinnamoyl (feruloyl) group from an esterified sugar, which is usually arabinose in 'natural' substrates.
  • p-Nitrophenol acetate and methyl ferulate are poorer substrates.
  • All microbial ferulate esterases are secreted into the culture medium.
  • They are sometimes called hemicellulase accessory enzymes, since they help xylanases and pectinases to break down plant cell wall hemicellulose.
