Popis: | Alpha-L-arabinofuranoside arabinofuranohydrolase (ARA), more commonly known as alpha-L-arabinofuranosidase (E.C. number 3.2.1.55), is a hydrolytic enzyme, catalyzing the cleavage of alpha-L-arabinose by acting on the non-reducing ends of alpha-L-arabinofuranosides, alpha-L-arabinans containing (1,3)- and/or (1,5)-linked arabinoxylans and arabinogalactans. ARA functions as debranching enzyme removing arabinose substituents from arabinoxylan and arabinoxylooligomers, thereby, boosting the hydrolysis of arabinoxylan fraction of hemicellulose and improving bioconversion of lignocellulosic biomass. Previously, comprehensive information on this enzyme has not been reviewed thoroughly. Therefore, the main aim of this review is to highlight the important properties of this interesting enzyme, microorganisms used for its production, and enhanced production using genetic engineering approach. An account on synergism with other biomass hydrolyzing enzymes and various industrial applications of this enzyme has also been provided along with an outlook on further research and development. |
