ENTRY       EC 3.2.1.124
NAME        3-Deoxy-2-octulosonidase
CLASS       Hydrolases
            Glycosidases
            Hydrolysing O-glycosyl compounds
SYSNAME     Capsular-polysaccharide 3-deoxy-D-manno-2-octulosonohydrolase
REACTION    Endohydrolysis of the beta-ketopyranosidic linkages of
            3-deoxy-D-manno-2-octulosonate in capsular polysaccharides
SUBSTRATE   3-Deoxy-D-manno-2-octulosonate
            H2O
COMMENT     The enzyme from a vacteriophage catalyses the depolymerization of
            capsular polysaccharides containing 3-deoxy-2-octulosonide in the
            cell wall of Escherichia coli.
