Abstract

An α-L-fucosidase which hydrolyzes fucose from α-(1 → 6)-linkage to N-acetylglucosamine was found in Aspergillus niger. The enzyme was purified by affinity chromatography with bovine IgG glycopeptide-Sepharose 4B. The enzyme preparation released fucose from bovine IgG glycopeptide and fucosylated asialoagalactofetuin, but failed to cleave 1 → 2, 1 → 3 or 1 → 4 linkages of α-L-fucosides.
