The β-1,4‐endogalactanase A gene from Aspergillus niger is specifically induced on arabinose and galacturonic acid and plays an important role in the degradation of pectic hairy regions.

The Aspergillus niger β-1,4-endogalactanase encoding gene (galA) was cloned and characterized. The expression of galA in A. niger was only detected in the presence of sugar beet pectin, D-galacturonic acid and L-arabinose, suggesting that galA is coregulated with both the pectinolytic genes as well as the arabinanolytic genes. The corresponding enzyme, endogalactanase A (GALA), contains both active site residues identified previously for the Pseudomonas fluorescens β-1,4-endogalactanase. The galA gene was overexpressed to facilitate purification of GALA. The enzyme has a molecular mass of 48.5 kDa and a pH optimum between 4 and 4.5. Incubations of arabinogalactans of potato, onion and soy with GALA resulted initially in the release of D-galactotriose and D-galactotetraose, whereas prolonged incubation resulted in D-galactose and D-galactobiose, predominantly. MALDI-TOF analysis revealed the release of L-arabinose substituted D-galactooligosaccharides from soy arabinogalactan. This is the first report of the ability of a β-1,4-endogalactanase to release substituted D-galacto-oligosaccharides. GALA was not active towards D-galacto-oligosaccharides that were substituted with D-glucose at the reducing end.
