FEMS Microbiology Reviews, 1995 Polysaccharide lyases are the products of various microorganisms, bacteriophage and some eukaryotes. All such enzymes cleave a hexose-1,4-alpha- or beta-uronic acid sequence by beta-elimination. They are in some examples, the only known type of enzymes degrading their polyanionic substrates.

Insights into the mechanism of substrate specificity in a novel PL15_3 subfamily oligo-alginate lyase VBAly15A [PDF]
Applied and Environmental MicrobiologyAlginate is a major component of brown algae cell walls and can be degraded via β-elimination by alginate lyases. These enzymes are classified into polysaccharide lyases and oligo-alginate lyases (Oals), with Oals mainly represented by the PL15 and PL17 ...
