Substrate Specificity:β1-3 Galactosidase is a highly specific exoglycosidase that catalyzes the hydrolysis of β1-3 and, at a much lower rate, β1-6 linked D-galactopyranosyl residues from oligosaccharides. The approximate kinetic data show > 100-fold preference for β1-3 over β1-6 linkages (1,2), and > 500-fold preference from β1-3 over β1-4 linkages(3).Detailed Specificity:The GlcNAc(β1-6) residue is the only anomeric configuration that can effect the specificity of the enzyme enabling cleavage of the non-reducing β1-4Galactose (Fig. 1).
Figure 1:
Selling concentration of the enzyme will cut the β1-4Galactose linkage as shown in (A) due to the adjacent GlcNAcβ1-6 anomer. This cleavage will not occur if the selling concentration of the enzyme is diluted 16-fold, as shown in (B).
