KEGG   ENZYME: 4.2.1.179
Entry
EC 4.2.1.179                Enzyme                                 
Name
difructose-anhydride-I synthase;
DFAIase;
inulobiose hydrolase;
bis-D-fructose 2',1:2,1'-dianhydride fructohydrolase
Class
Lyases;
Carbon-oxygen lyases;
Hydro-lyases
Sysname
inulobiose hydro-lyase (alpha-D-fructofuranose-beta-D-fructofuranose 2',1:2,1'-dianhydride-forming)
Reaction(IUBMB)
inulobiose = bis-D-fructose 2',1:2,1'-dianhydride + H2O [RN:R03685 R06161]
Reaction(KEGG)
R03685 R06161(G)
Substrate
inulobiose [CPD:C01711]
Product
bis-D-fructose 2',1:2,1'-dianhydride [CPD:C04333];
H2O [CPD:C00001]
Comment
The enzyme, studied in the fungus Aspergillus fumigatus, may participate in an inulin degradation pathway in which it converts the product of EC 4.2.2.17, inulin fructotransferase (DFA-I-forming), to inulobiose, though in vitro activity was higher in the direction of DFA-I formation.
History
EC 4.2.1.179 created 1992 as EC 3.2.1.134, transferred to EC 4.2.1.179 2021
