A basic .beta.-galactosidase (.beta.-Galase) has been purified 281-fold from imbibed radish (Raphanus sativus L.) seeds by conventional purification procedures. The purified enzyme is an electrophoretically homogenous protein consisting of a single polypeptide with an apparent molecular mass of 45 kilodaltons and pI values if 8.6 to 8.8. The enzyme was maximally active at pH 4.0 on p-nitrophenyl .beta.-D-galactoside and .beta.-1,3-linked galactobiose. The enzyme activity was inhibited strongly by Hg2+ and 4-chloromercuribenzoate. D-Galactono-(1.fwdarw.4)-lactone and D-galactal acted as potent competitive inhibitors. Using galactooligosaccharides differing in the types of linkage as the substrates, it was demonstrated that radish seed .beta.-Galase specifically split off .beta.-1,3- and .beta.-1,6-linked D-galactosyl residues from the nonreducing ends, and their rates of hydrolysis increased with increasing chain lengths. Radish seed and leaf arabino-3,6-galactan-proteins were resistant to the .beta.-galase alone but could be partially degraded by the enzyme after the treatment with a fungal .alpha.-L-arabinofuranosidase leaving some oligosaccharides consisting of D-galactose, uronic acid, L-arabinose, and other minor sugar components besides D-galactose as the main product.
