| Comments | This esterase is the N-terminal CE1 catalytic module of XynZ from Clostridium thermocellum and catalyses the hydrolysis of the 4-hydroxy-3-methoxycinnamoyl (feruloyl) group from an esterified sugar | which is usually arabinose in "natural" substrates. Methyl ferulate is a poorer substrate. Microbial ferulate esterases are secreted into the culture medium. They are sometimes called hemicellulase accessory enzymes | since they help xylanases and pectinases to break down plant cell wall hemicellulose |
