IUBMB Enzyme Nomenclature

EC 3.2.1.199

Accepted name: sulfoquinovosidase

Reaction: an α-sulfoquinovosyl diacylglycerol + H2O = sulfoquinovose + a 1,2-diacylglycerol

Glossary: quinovose = 6-deoxy-D-glucopyranose

Other name(s): yihQ (gene name)

Systematic name: α-sulfoquinovosyl diacylglycerol sulfoquinovohydrolase

Comments: The enzyme, characterized from the bacteria Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas putida, hydrolyses terminal non-reducing α-sulfoquinovoside residues in α-sulfoquinovosyl diacylglycerides and α-sulfoquinovosyl glycerol.
