Catalyzes 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. Publication Abstract from PubMed Identifying and characterizing the enzymes responsible for an observed activity within a complex eukaryotic catabolic system remains one of the most significant challenges in the study of biomass-degrading systems. The debranching of both complex hemicellulosic and pectinaceous polysaccharides requires the production of alpha-L-arabinofuranosidases among a wide variety of co-expressed carbohydrate-active enzymes. To selectively detect and identify alpha-L-arabinofuranosidases produced by fungi grown on complex biomass, potential covalent inhibitors and probes which mimic alpha-L-arabinofuranosides were sought. The conformational free energy landscapes of free alpha-L-arabinofuranose and several rationally designed covalent alpha-L-arabinofuranosidase inhibitors were analyzed. A synthetic route to these inhibitors was subsequently developed based on a key Wittig-Still rearrangement. Through a combination of kinetic measurements, intact mass spectrometry, and structural experiments, the designed inhibitors were shown to efficiently label the catalytic nucleophiles of retaining GH51 and GH54 alpha-L-arabinofuranosidases. Activity-based probes elaborated from an inhibitor with an aziridine warhead were applied to the identification and characterization of alpha-L-arabinofuranosidases within the secretome of A. niger grown on arabinan. This method was extended to the detection and identification of alpha-L-arabinofuranosidases produced by eight biomass-degrading basidiomycete fungi grown on complex biomass. The broad applicability of the cyclophellitol-derived activity-based probes and inhibitors presented here make them a valuable new tool in the characterization of complex eukaryotic carbohydrate-degrading systems and in the high-throughput discovery of alpha-L-arabinofuranosidases.
