Function
[RGLA_ASPAC] Pectinolytic enzyme that has a positive effect in the apple hot-mash liquefaction process. This endolyase hydrolyzes the alpha-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1,4)-alpha-D-galacturonopyranosyl glycosidic linkage by beta-elimination, thereby generating oligosaccharides terminating at the non-reducing end with a hex-4-enopyranosyluronic acid residue.[1] [2] [3]

Publication Abstract from PubMed
Rhamnogalacturonan lyase (RG-lyase) specifically recognizes and cleaves alpha-1,4 glycosidic bonds between L-rhamnose and D-galacturonic acids in the backbone of rhamnogalacturonan-I, a major component of the plant cell wall polysaccharide, pectin. The three-dimensional structure of RG-lyase from Aspergillus aculeatus has been determined to 1.5 A resolution representing the first known structure from polysaccharide lyase family 4 and of an enzyme with this catalytic specificity. The 508-amino acid polypeptide displays a unique arrangement of three distinct modular domains. Each domain shows structural homology to non-catalytic domains from other carbohydrate active enzymes.
