| Accepted name: |
MMP endo-(1,4)-3-O-methyl-α-D-mannosidase |
| Reaction: |
Endohydrolysis of 3-O-methyl-α-D-mannosyl-(1→4)-3-O-methyl-D-mannose linkages within (1,4)-3-O-methyl-α-D-mannnan substrates |
| Glossary: |
MMP = 3-O-methylmannose polysaccharide = α-D-mannosyl-(1→4)-[3-O-methyl-α-D-mannosyl-(1→4)]n-1-O,3-O-dimethyl-α-D-mannose |
| Other name(s): |
MMP α-(1→4)-endomannosidase; mmpH (gene name) |
| Systematic name: |
(1,4)-3-O-methyl-α-D-mannan 4-α-3-O-methyl-D-mannohydrolase |
| Comments: |
The enzyme, present in mycobacterial species that produce 3-O-methylmannose polysaccharide (MMP), is involved in recycling and biosynthesis of the polymer. The enzyme has been shown to cleave substrates in the range of 11–14 mannose residues. |
