YicI alpha-xylosidase is a glycosyl hydrolase family 31 (GH31) enzyme that catalyzes the release of an alpha-xylosyl residue from the non-reducing end of alpha-xyloside substrates such as alpha-xylosyl fluoride and isoprimeverose. YicI forms a homohexamer (a trimer of dimers). All GH31 enzymes cleave a terminal carbohydrate moiety from a substrate that varies considerably in size, depending on the enzyme, and may be either a starch or a glycoprotein. The YicI family corresponds to subgroup 4 in the Ernst et al classification of GH31 enzymes.
