FunFam 137188: Maltogenic alpha-amylase (Glucan 1,4-alpha-maltohy...

There are 10 EC terms in this cluster

Please note: EC annotations are assigned to the full protein sequence rather than individual protein domains. Since a given protein can contain multiple domains, it is possible that some of the annotations below come from additional domains that occur in the same protein, but have been classified elsewhere in CATH.

Note: The search results have been sorted with the annotations that are found most frequently at the top of the list. The results can be filtered by typing text into the search box at the top of the table.

EC Term Annotations Evidence
Alpha-amylase. [EC: 3.2.1.1]
Endohydrolysis of (1->4)-alpha-D-glucosidic linkages in polysaccharides containing three or more (1->4)-alpha-linked D-glucose units.
  • Acts on starch, glycogen and related polysaccharides and oligosaccharides in a random manner; reducing groups are liberated in the alpha-configuration.
  • The term 'alpha' relates to the initial anomeric configuration of the free sugar group released and not to the configuration of the linkage hydrolyzed.

Glucan 1,4-alpha-glucosidase. [EC: 3.2.1.3]
Hydrolysis of terminal (1->4)-linked alpha-D-glucose residues successively from non-reducing ends of the chains with release of beta-D- glucose.
  • Most forms of the enzyme can rapidly hydrolyze 1,6-alpha-D-glucosidic bonds when the next bond in the sequence is 1,4, and some preparations of this enzyme hydrolyze 1,6- and 1,3-alpha-D-glucosidic bonds in other polysaccharides.
  • This entry covers all such enzymes acting on polysaccharides more rapidly than on oligosaccharides.
  • EC 3.2.1.20 from mammalian intestine can catalyze similar reactions.

Cyclomaltodextrin glucanotransferase. [EC: 2.4.1.19]
Cyclizes part of a (1->4)-alpha-D-glucan chain by formation of a (1->4)- alpha-D-glucosidic bond.
  • Cyclomaltodextrins (Schardinger dextrins) of various sizes (6, 7, 8, etc. glucose units) are formed reversibly from starch and similar substrates.
  • Also disproportionates linear maltodextrins without cyclizing (cf. EC 2.4.1.25).

Glucan 1,4-alpha-maltotetraohydrolase. [EC: 3.2.1.60]
Hydrolysis of (1->4)-alpha-D-glucosidic linkages in amylaceous polysaccharides, to remove successive maltotetraose residues from the non-reducing chain ends.
  • Compare EC 3.2.1.2, which removes successive maltose residues, and EC 3.2.1.98 and EC 3.2.1.116.

Beta-amylase. [EC: 3.2.1.2]
Hydrolysis of (1->4)-alpha-D-glucosidic linkages in polysaccharides so as to remove successive maltose units from the non-reducing ends of the chains.
  • Acts on starch, glycogen and related polysaccharides and oligosaccharides producing beta-maltose by an inversion.

Glucan 1,4-alpha-maltohydrolase. [EC: 3.2.1.133]
Hydrolysis of (1->4)-alpha-D-glucosidic linkages in polysaccharides so as to remove successive alpha-maltose residues from the non-reducing ends of the chains.
  • Acts on starch and related polysaccharides and oligosaccharides.
  • The product is alpha-maltose; cf. EC 3.2.1.2.

4-alpha-glucanotransferase. [EC: 2.4.1.25]
Transfers a segment of a (1->4)-alpha-D-glucan to a new position in an acceptor, which may be glucose or a (1->4)-alpha-D-glucan.
  • An enzymic activity of this nature forms part of the mammalian and Saccharomyces cerevisiae glycogen branching system (see EC 3.2.1.33).
  • Formerly EC 2.4.1.3.

1,4-alpha-glucan branching enzyme. [EC: 2.4.1.18]
Transfers a segment of a (1->4)-alpha-D-glucan chain to a primary hydroxy group in a similar glucan chain.
  • Converts amylose into amylopectin.
  • The description (official name) requires a qualification depending on the product, glycogen or amylopectin, e.g. glycogen branching enzyme, amylopectin branching enzyme.
  • The latter has frequently been termed Q-enzyme.

Glucan 1,4-alpha-maltohexaosidase. [EC: 3.2.1.98]
