ID   3.5.1.136
DE   N,N'-diacetylchitobiose non-reducing end deacetylase.
AN   diacetylchitobiose deacetylase.
CA   H2O + N,N'-diacetylchitobiose = acetate + beta-D-glucosaminyl-(1->4)-N-
CA   acetyl-D-glucosamine.
CC   -!- The enzyme, characterized from the archaeons Thermococcus
CC       kodakarensis and Pyrococcus horikoshii, deacetylates the non-reducing
CC       residue of N,N'-diacetylchitobiose, the end product of the archaeal
CC       chitinase, to produce beta-D-glucosaminyl-(1->4)-N-acetyl-D-
CC       glucosamine.
CC   -!- This is in contrast to EC 3.5.1.105, chitin disaccharide deacetylase,
CC       which deacetylates N,N'-diacetylchitobiose at the reducing residue to
CC       produce N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminyl-(1->4)-D-glucosamine.
