a

+, a change in fluorescence is detectable, but the data do not fit a simple model to determine a Kd value. Values are shown ±1 standard deviation. Dissociation constants were measured at 20°C, except for that of RbsB, which was measured at 55°C.

b

Enzymes whose genes encode potential signal peptides are listed as “extracellular,” while those that do not are listed as “cytoplasmic.”

c

Ninety-five-percent pure; remainder, other xylooligosaccharides.

d

TM0809 is similar (E value of 10−178) to a β-N-acetylglucosaminidase from T. neapolitana (CbsA, GenBank accession number AF34391).

e

Value determined by equilibrium dialysis using radiolabeled ribose, as described in the text.

f

Data for substrate affinities for MalE1 and MalE2 were published previously (33).

g

Annotated as oligopeptide SBPs.
