Substrate specificities
This family contains phosphorolytic enzymes (usually named using a combination of “the substrate” and “phosphorylase”) that cleave beta glycosidic bond. The substrate specificities found in GH94 are: cellobiose (Glc-β1,4-Glc) phosphorylase (EC 2.4.1.20), cellodextrin ((Glc-β1,4-)n-1Glc; n≥3) phosphorylase (EC 2.4.1.29), (N.N’-diacetyl)chitobiose (GlcNAc-β1,4;-GlcNAc) phosphorylase, and a domain phosphorolyzing protein-bound β-1,2-glucan accompanied by cyclic β1,2-glucan synthase(EC 2.4.1.-) belonging to GT84.
