Abstract excerpt
Enzymes of the glycosyl hydrolase family 32 are highly similar with respect to primary sequence but catalyze divergent reactions. Previously, the importance of the conserved sucrose-binding box in determining product specificity of onion fructan:fructan 6G-fructosyltransferase (6G-FFT) was established [Ritsema et al., 2004, Plant Mol. Biol. 54: 853-863]. Onion 6G-FFT synthesizes the complex fructan neo-series...
