description Relatively little is known about enzymes with broad substrate spectra, leading to limited applications and progress. Herein, we elucidate Aly16-1 of <i>Streptomyces</i> sp. strain CB16 as a novel multifunctional member of the eighth polysaccharide lyase (PL8) family, although it shared few sequence identities with the characterized enzymes. The recombinant enzyme rAly16-1 showed lyase activities against several acidic polysaccharides, including many glycosaminoglycan types, xanthan, and alginate. It was mannuronate (M)-preferred, endolytic, and optimal at 50 °C and pH 6.0. The smallest substrate was an ∆M-terminal (∆: unsaturated monosaccharide) trisaccharide, and the minimal product was ∆. In the final alginate digestions by rAly16-1, the fractions larger than disaccharides were ∆G-terminal (G: guluronate), while the disaccharides were mainly ∆M, showing an oligosaccharide-yielding property under the succession law. However, when degrading various oligosaccharides, rAly16-1 continued producing ∆M from the non-reducing end even when the substrates increased their sizes, quite different from the elucidated alginate lyases with variable alginate-degrading modes. Thus, co-determined by its M-preference, Aly16-1 is novel for its ∆M-yielding property in oligosaccharide preparations. Additionally, rAly16-1 can be applied in sequencing unsaturated trisaccharides, whether ∆M- or ∆G-terminal. This study provides novel insights into the characteristics and applications of a multifunctional enzyme within the PL8 family for resource explorations.
