Substrate specificities

The glycoside hydrolases from GH family 142 have β-L-arabinofuranosidase (EC 3.2.1.185) activity. The first characterized enzyme from GH142 was the C-terminus of BT1020 from Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron [1]. BT1020 C-terminus hydrolyses the β-1,5 linkage between L-arabinofuranosidase and D-DHA at the non-reducing end of rhamnogalacturonan II (RG II) D chain found in pectin.

Kinetics and Mechanism

The kinetics and mechanisms of GH142 family remain to be elucidated.

Catalytic Residues

The β-L-arabinofuranosidase from BT1020 C-terminus contains canonical glycoside hydrolase catalytic apparatus comprising carboxylate residues [1].

Three-dimensional structures

The β-L-arabinofuranosidase from the C-terminus of BT1020 has a (α/α)6-barrel structure [1].
