DE   mannosylfructose-phosphate synthase.
AN   mannosylfructose-6-phosphate synthase.
AN   MFPS.
CA   beta-D-fructose 6-phosphate + GDP-alpha-D-mannose = beta-D-
CA   fructofuranosyl alpha-D-mannopyranoside 6(F)-phosphate + GDP + H(+).
CC   -!- GDP-mannose can be replaced by ADP-mannose but with a concomitant
CC       decrease in activity.
CC   -!- The product of this reaction is dephosphorylated by EC 3.1.3.79 to
CC       form the non-reducing disaccharide mannosylfructose, which is the
CC       major endogenous osmolyte produced by several alpha-proteobacteria in
CC       response to osmotic stress.
CC   -!- The F in the product name is used to indicate that the fructose
CC       residue of sucrose carries the substituent.
