Donor substrate recognition in the raffinose-bound E342A mutant of fructosyltransferase Bacillus subtilis levansucrase.

BMC structural biology - 17 Mar 2008

Meng Guoyu, Fütterer Klaus

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Fructans - beta-D-fructofuranosyl polymers with a sucrose starter unit - constitute a carbohydrate reservoir synthesised by a considerable number of bacteria and plant species. Biosynthesis of levan (alphaGlc(1-2)betaFru [(2-6)betaFru]n), an abundant form of bacterial fructan, is catalysed by levansucrase (sucrose:2,6-beta-D-fructan-6-beta-D-fructosyl transferase), utilizing sucrose as the sole...
