ENZYME entry: EC 2.4.1.395

PURL: https://purl.expasy.org/enzyme/EC/2.4.1.395
Accepted Name
reuteransucrase
Reaction catalysed
formation of reuteran from sucrose
Comment(s)
  • The glucansucrases transfer a D-glucosyl residue from sucrose to a glucan chain.
  • They are classified based on the linkage of the transferred glucosyl residue.
  • The enzyme, characterized from the lactic acid bacterium Limosilactobacillus reuteri strain 121, catalyzes the hydrolysis of sucrose and the transfer of the D-glucose moiety to suitable acceptors (inclduing sucrose), forming the glucan reuteran, which is typical for these strains.
  • The enzyme forms mostly alpha(1->4) glucosidic linkages, but also alpha(1->6) linkages.
  • The presence of maltose significantly accelerate the initial rate of the reaction. See EC 2.4.1.5.
