KEGG   ENZYME: 3.2.1.154
Entry
EC 3.2.1.154                Enzyme                                 
Name
fructan beta-(2,6)-fructosidase;
beta-(2-6)-fructan exohydrolase;
levanase;
6-FEH;
beta-(2,6)-D-fructan fructohydrolase
Class
Hydrolases;
Glycosylases;
Glycosidases, i.e. enzymes that hydrolyse O- and S-glycosyl compounds
Sysname
(2->6)-beta-D-fructan fructohydrolase
Reaction(IUBMB)
Hydrolysis of terminal, non-reducing (2->6)-linked beta-D-fructofuranose residues in fructans
Comment
Possesses one of the activities of EC 3.2.1.80, fructan beta-fructosidase. While the best substrates are the levan-type fructans such as 6-kestotriose [beta-D-fructofuranosyl-(2->6)-beta-D-fructofuranosyl alpha-D-glucopyranoside] and 6,6-kestotetraose [beta-D-fructofuranosyl-(2->6)-beta-D-fructofuranosyl-(2->6)-beta-D-fructofuranosyl alpha-D-glucopyranoside], some (but not all) inulin-type fructans can also be hydrolysed, but more slowly [cf. EC 3.2.1.153, fructan beta-(2,1)-fructosidase]. Sucrose, while being a very poor substrate, can substantially inhibit enzyme activity in some cases.
