Structural analysis of bioengineered alpha-D-glucan produced by a triple mutant of the Glucansucrase GTF180 enzyme from Lactobacillus reuteri strain 180: generation of (alpha1-->4) linkages in a native (1-->3)(1-->6)-alpha-D-glucan.

Abstract excerpt
Site-directed mutagenesis of the glucansucrase gtf180 gene from Lactobacillus reuteri strain 180 was used to transform the active site region. The alpha-D-glucan ( mEPS-PNNS) produced by the triple mutant V1027P:S1137N:A1139S differed in structure from that of the wild-type alpha-D-glucan ( EPS180). Besides (alpha1-->3) and (alpha1-->6) linkages, as present in EPS180, mEPS-PNNS also contained (alpha1-->4)...
