vicianosidase;
beta-L-arabinosidase (ambiguous);
beta-L-arabinoside arabinohydrolase (ambiguous)
Class
Hydrolases;

Sysname
beta-L-arabinopyranoside non-reducing end beta-L-arabinopyranosidase
Reaction(IUBMB)
Removal of a terminal beta-L-arabinopyranose residue from the non-reducing end of its substrate. [RN:R01760]
Reaction(KEGG)
R01760
Comment
The enzyme, which was characterized from dormant seeds of the plant Cajanus cajan (pigeon pea), has been shown to remove the terminal non-reducing beta-L-arabinopyranoside residue from the artificial substrate p-nitrophenyl-beta-L-arabinopyranose [1]. In the presence of methanol the enzyme demonstrates transglycosylase activity, transferring the arabinose moiety to methanol while retaining the anomeric configuration, generating 1-O-methyl-beta-L-arabinopyranose [2].
