UniProt functional annotation for Q45071

UniProt code: Q45071.

Organism: Bacillus subtilis (strain 168).
Taxonomy: Bacteria; Firmicutes; Bacilli; Bacillales; Bacillaceae; Bacillus.
 
Function: Cleaves arabinose units from O-2- or O-3-monosubstituted xylose residues, thereby assisting in arabinoxylan (AX) and short-chain arabinoxylo-oligosaccharide (AXOS) degradation. Is more active on wheat bran AXOS than on wheat water-extractable AX and rye water-extractable AX. Does not display endoxylanase, xylosidase or arabinanase activity. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:17426966}.
 
Catalytic activity: Reaction=Hydrolysis of terminal non-reducing alpha-L-arabinofuranoside residues in alpha-L-arabinosides.; EC=3.2.1.55;
Biophysicochemical properties: pH dependence: Optimum pH is 5.6. Stable from pH 4.4 to 7.6. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:17426966}; Temperature dependence: Optimum temperature is 45 degrees Celsius. Thermostable for 40 min from 4 to 45 degrees Celsius. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:17426966};
Pathway: Glycan degradation; xylan degradation.
Subcellular location: Secreted {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10658653}.
Domain: The CBM6 domain lost its carbohydrate binding capacity.
Mass spectrometry: Mass=52080; Method=MALDI; Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:17426966};
Similarity: Belongs to the glycosyl hydrolase 43 family. {ECO:0000305}.
