Substrate specificities

The major activity of enzymes of this GH family is β-galactosidase (EC 3.2.1.23). Enzymes were isolated from microorganisms such as fungi, bacteria and yeasts; plants, animals cells, and from recombinant sources. The β-galactosidase (EC 3.2.1.23) catalyses the hydrolysis of terminal non-reducing β-D-galactose residues in β-D-galactosides as, for example, lactose (1,4-O-β-D-galactopyranosyl-D-glucose) and structurally related compounds. GH35 includes multiple genes in various plant species [1], suggesting ubiquity of GH35 gene multiplicity in plants. The enzyme has two main applications; the removal of lactose from milk products for lactose intolerant people and the production of galactosylated products.

Besides β-galactosidases, GHF35 contains two exo-β-glucosaminidases (EC 3.2.1.165) [2,3]. This enzyme hydrolyze chitosan or chitosan oligosaccharides to remove successive D-glucosamine residues from the non-reducing termini.
