- EC 3.-.-.- Hydrolases

- Modify:2024-12-29
Catalyzes the hydrolysis of the 4-hydroxy-3-methoxycinnamoyl (feruloyl) group from an esterified sugar, which is usually arabinose in 'natural' substrates
p-nitrophenol acetate and methyl ferulate are poorer substrates
All microbial ferulate esterases are secreted into the culture medium
They are sometimes called hemicellulase accessory enzymes, since they help xylanases and pectinases to break down plant cell wall hemicellulose
