Substrate specificity of alpha-L-arabinofuranosidase from Streptomyces diastatochromogenes 065 toward arabinose-containing oligosaccharides
alpha-L-Arabinofuranosidase from Streptomyces diastatochromogenes 065 released only the terminal arabinose of arabinoxylo-oligosaccharides. The enzyme hydrolyzed methyl arabinofuranobiosides to arabinose and methyl arabinofuranoside in the order of (1-->2)>(1-->3)>(1-->5)-linkages. The enzyme preferentially hydrolyzed the (1-->3)-linkage over the (1-->5)-linkage of methyl arabinofuranotrioside.
