UniProt functional annotation for Q00001

UniProt code: Q00001.

Organism: Aspergillus aculeatus.
Taxonomy: Eukaryota; Fungi; Dikarya; Ascomycota; Pezizomycotina; Eurotiomycetes; Eurotiomycetidae; Eurotiales; Aspergillaceae; Aspergillus; Aspergillus subgen. Circumdati.
 
Function: Pectinolytic enzymes consist of four classes of enzymes: pectine lyase, polygalacturonase, pectin methylesterase and rhamnogalacturonase. Has a positive effect in the apple hot-mash liquefaction process. Hydrolyzes alpha-D-galacturonopyranosyl-(1,2)- alpha-L-rhamnopyranosyl linkages in the backbone of the hairy regions of pectins. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:9464254}.
 
Catalytic activity: Reaction=Endohydrolysis of alpha-D-GalA-(1->2)-alpha-L-Rha glycosidic bond in the rhamnogalacturonan I backbone with initial inversion of anomeric configuration releasing oligosaccharides with beta-D-GalA at the reducing end.; EC=3.2.1.171;
Biophysicochemical properties: pH dependence: Optimum pH is 3.5. Unstable above pH 6.0.; Temperature dependence: Optimum temperature is 30-50 degrees Celsius.;
Subcellular location: Secreted.
Ptm: The N-terminus is blocked.
Ptm: N-glycosylated and may also be O-glycosylated.
Similarity: Belongs to the glycosyl hydrolase 28 family. {ECO:0000305}.
