EC 3.2.1.214

Accepted name: exo β-1,2-glucooligosaccharide sophorohydrolase (non-reducing end)

Reaction: [(1→2)-β-D-glucosyl]n + H2O = sophorose + [(1→2)-β-D-glucosyl]n-2

Glossary: sophorose = β-D-glucopyranosyl-(1→2)-D-glucopyranose

Systematic name: exo (1→2)-β-D-glucooligosaccharide sophorohydrolase (non-reducing end)

Comments: The enzyme, characterized from the bacterium Parabacteroides distasonis, specifically hydrolyses (1→2)-β-D-glucooligosaccharides to sophorose. The best substrates are the tetra- and pentasaccharides. The enzyme is not able to cleave the trisaccharide, and activity with longer linear (1→2)-β-D-glucans is quite low. This enzyme acts in exo mode and is not able to hydrolyse cyclic (1→2)-β-D-glucans.
