KEGG   ENZYME: 3.2.1.157
Entry
EC 3.2.1.157                Enzyme                                 
Name
iota-carrageenase
Class
Hydrolases;
Glycosylases;
Glycosidases, i.e. enzymes that hydrolyse O- and S-glycosyl compounds
Sysname
iota-carrageenan 4-beta-D-glycanohydrolase (configuration-inverting)
Reaction(IUBMB)
Endohydrolysis of (1->4)-beta-D-linkages between D-galactose 4-sulfate and 3,6-anhydro-D-galactose-2-sulfate in iota-carrageenans
Comment
The main products of hydrolysis are iota-neocarratetraose sulfate and iota-neocarrahexaose sulfate. iota-Neocarraoctaose is the shortest substrate oligomer that can be cleaved. Unlike EC 3.2.1.81, beta-agarase and EC 3.2.1.83, kappa-carrageenase, this enzyme proceeds with inversion of the anomeric configuration. iota-Carrageenan differs from kappa-carrageenan by possessing a sulfo group on O-2 of the 3,6-anhydro-D-galactose residues, in addition to that present in the kappa-compound on O-4 of the D-galactose residues.
