Gellan lyase is a polysaccharide lyase highly specific to gellan, especially deacetylated gellan. It performs eliminative cleavage of beta-D-glucopyranosyl-(1->4)-beta-D-glucopyranosyluronate bonds of the gellan backbone, releasing tetrasaccharides containing a 4-deoxy-4,5-unsaturated D-glucopyranosyluronic acid at the non-reducing end. It appears in viruses and cellular organisms. Structurally it is a gellan lyase.
