| Lacto-N-biosidase.
|
| Alternative Name(s) |
|---|
| Oligosaccharide lacto-N-biosylhydrolase. |
| Reaction catalysed |
|---|
| Beta-D-Gal-(1->3)-beta-D-GlcNAc-(1->3)-beta-D-Gal-(1->4)-D-Glc + H(2)O <=> beta-D-Gal-(1->3)-D-GlcNAc + beta-D-Gal-(1->4)-D-Glc |
| Comment(s) |
|---|
- The enzyme from Streptomyces specifically hydrolyzes the terminal
lacto-N-biosyl residue (beta-D-Gal-(1->3)-D-GlcNAc) from the non-
reducing end of oligosaccharides with the structure beta-D-Gal-
(1->3)-beta-D-GlcNAc-(1->3)-beta-D-Gal-(1->R).
- Lacto-N-hexaose (beta-D-Gal-(1->3)-beta-D-GlcNAc-(1->3)-beta-D-Gal-
(1->3)-beta-D-GlcNAc-(1->3)-beta-D-Gal-(1->4)-D-Glc) is hydrolyzed to
form first lacto-N-tetraose plus lacto-N-biose, with the subsequent
formation of lactose.
- Oligosaccharides in which the non-reducing terminal Gal or the
penultimate GlcNAc are replaced by fucose or sialic acid are not
substrates.
- Asialo GM1 tetraose (beta-D-Gal-(1->3)-beta-D-GalNAc-(1->3)-beta-D-
Gal-(1->4)-D-Glc) is hydrolyzed very slowly, but lacto-N-neotetraose
(beta-D-Gal-(1->4)-beta-D-GalNAc-(1->3)-beta-D-Gal-(1->4)-D-Glc) is
not a substrate.
