This family represents the C-terminus (approximately 200 residues) of bacterial and eukaryotic alpha-L-arabinofuranosidase (EC:3.2.1.55). This catalyses the hydrolysis of nonreducing terminal alpha-L-arabinofuranosidic linkages in L-arabinose-containing polysaccharides [1].
Involved in the degradation of arabinan and is a key enzyme in the complete degradation of the plant cell wall. Catalyses the cleavage of terminal alpha-(1->5)-arabinofuranosyl bonds in different hemicellulosic homopolysaccharides (branched and debranched arabinans). It acts preferentially on aryl-alpha-L-arabinofuranosides, and is much less effective on aryl-beta-D-xylopyranosides. It is a member of the glycosyl hydrolase 51 family.
