ENZYME entry: EC 2.4.1.397

PURL: https://purl.expasy.org/enzyme/EC/2.4.1.397
Accepted Name
cyclic beta-1,2-glucan glucanotransferase
Reaction catalysed
Cyclizes part of a (1->2)-beta-D-glucan chain by formation of a (1->2)-beta-D-glucosidic bond
Comment(s)
  • This enzyme is the cyclization domain of cyclic beta-1,2-glucan synthase.
  • Enzymes from Brucella abortus and Thermoanaerobacter italicus were characterized.
  • The cyclization domain of cyclic beta-1,2-glucan synthase is flanked by an N-terminal beta-1,2-glucosyltransferase domain (cf. EC 2.4.1.391) and a C-terminal beta-1,2-glucoside phosphorylase domain (cf. EC 2.4.1.333), with the former responsible for elongation and the latter for chain length control.
  • The cyclization domain of T. italicus cyclizes linear oligosaccharides with a degree of polymerization (DP) of 21 or higher to produce cyclic glucans with DP 17 or higher.
  • The cyclization domain also disproportionates linear beta-1,2- glucooligosaccharides without cycling.
  • The entire cyclic beta-1,2-glucan synthase from B. abortus synthesizes cyclic beta-1,2-glucans with DP 17-22.
