ENZYME: 3.1.1.73

Entry

EC 3.1.1.73 Enzyme

Name

feruloyl esterase;
ferulic acid esterase, hydroxycinnamoyl esterase, hemicellulase accessory enzymes;
FAE-III, cinnamoyl ester hydrolase, FAEA, cinnAE, FAE-I, FAE-II

Class

Hydrolases;
Acting on ester bonds;
Carboxylic-ester hydrolases

Sysname

4-hydroxy-3-methoxycinnamoyl-sugar hydrolase

Reaction(IUBMB)

feruloyl-polysaccharide + H2O = ferulate + polysaccharide [RN:R07292]

Reaction(KEGG)

R07292

Substrate

feruloyl-polysaccharide [CPD:C06741];
H2O [CPD:C00001]

Product

ferulate [CPD:C01494];
polysaccharide [CPD:C00420]

Comment

Catalyses the hydrolysis of the 4-hydroxy-3-methoxycinnamoyl (feruloyl) group from an esterified sugar, which is usually arabinose in "natural" substrates. p-Nitrophenol acetate and methyl ferulate are poorer substrates. All microbial ferulate esterases are secreted into the culture medium. They are sometimes called hemicellulase accessory enzymes, since they help xylanases and pectinases to break down plant cell wall hemicellulose.
