ENZYME entry: EC 2.4.1.14

Accepted Name
Sucrose-phosphate synthase.
Alternative Name(s)
Sucrosephosphate--UDP glucosyltransferase.
UDP-glucose-fructose-phosphate glucosyltransferase.
Reaction catalysed
UDP-glucose + D-fructose 6-phosphate <=> UDP + sucrose 6(F)-phosphate
Cofactor(s)
Mn(2+) or Mg(2+).
Comment(s)
  • The enzyme from Synechocystis sp. strain PCC 6803 is not specific for UDP-glucose as it can use ADP-glucose and, to a lesser extent, GDP- glucose as substrates.
  • The enzyme from rice leaves is activated by glucose 6-phosphate but that from cyanobacterial species is not.
  • While the reaction catalyzed by this enzyme is reversible, the enzyme usually works in concert with EC 3.1.3.24 to form sucrose, making the above reaction essentially irreversible.
  • The F in sucrose 6(F)-phosphate is used to indicate that the fructose residue of sucrose carries the substituent.
