glycogen phosphorylase-limit dextrin maltotetraose-hydrolase
This bacterial enzyme catalyses a reaction similar to EC 3.2.1.33, amylo-alpha-1,6-glucosidase (one of the activities of the eukaryotic glycogen debranching enzyme). However, while EC 3.2.1.33 removes single glucose residues linked by 1,6-alpha-linkage, and thus requires the additional activity of 4-alpha-glucanotransferase (EC 2.4.1.25) to act on limit dextrins formed by glycogen phosphorylase (EC 2.4.1.1), this enzyme removes maltotriose and maltotetraose chains that are attached by 1,6-alpha-linkage to the limit dextrin main chain, generating a debranched limit dextrin without a need for another enzyme.
