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 . BT1020 hydrolyses the β-1,5 linkage between L-arabinofuranosidase and D-DHA in the terminal region 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.
