Comments: |
The enzyme, characterized from the bacterium Lactobacillus fermentum NCC 2970, possesses hydrolysis and transglycosylase activities on malto-oligosaccharides with a degree of polymerization of at least 6, as well as polymers such as amylose, potato starch, and amylopectin. The enzyme, which belongs to glycoside hydrolase 70 (GH70) family, attaches the glucosyl residues by α(1→3) linkages in both linear and branched orientations. While capable of forming large polymers, the enzyme produces mainly oligosaccharides in vitro. |

The enzyme, characterized from the bacterium Ignavibacterium album, transfers a glucosyl residue from the non-reducing end of a 1,2-β-D-glucan to a glucose residue of an acceptor molecule, forming a β(1,2) linkage. The donor molecule can be as small as sophorose (which contains two glucosyl residues). The enzyme has a very broad specificity for the acceptor, and can act on various aryl- and alkyl-glucosides. In addition, the accepting glucose unit can be in either α or β configuration. |

Comments: |
The enzyme, originally discovered in lactic acid bacteria but later found in other organisms, is similar to EC 2.4.1.395, reuteransucrase, yet is not able to act on sucrose. The enzyme, which belongs to the glycoside hydrolase 70 (GH70) family, possesses both hydrolase and transglycosylase activities, cleaving α(1→4) linkages from the non-reducing end of linear maltooligosaccharides and synthesizing linear α(1→6)-glucan chains. It also possesses an endo-α(1→4)-glycosidase activity. Due to its narrow binding groove, it is not able to act on branched substrates. cf. EC 2.4.1.396, 4,6-α-glucanotransferase (linear and branched substrates, branched products). |

reuteransucrase |
Reaction: |
formation of reuteran from sucrose |
Glossary: |
reuteran = a high-molecular-mass branched α-glucan produced by the lactic acid bacterium Limosilactobacillus reuteri. |
Systematic name: |
sucrose:α-D-glucan 4-α/6-α-D-glucosyltransferase |
Comments: |
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, catalyses 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 α(1→4) glucosidic linkages, but also α(1→6) linkages. The presence of maltose significantly accelerate the initial rate of the reaction. See EC 2.4.1.5, dextransucrase. |

Systematic name: |
branched (1→4)-α-D-glucan:(1→4)/(1→6)-α-D-glucan 6-α-D-glucosyltransferase |
Comments: |
The enzyme, discovered in several bacterial species, is similar to EC 2.4.1.395, reuteransucrase, yet is not able to act on sucrose. The enzyme, which belongs to the glycoside hydrolase 70 (GH70) family, possesses both hydrolase and transglycosylase activities, cleaving endo α(1→4) linkages from the non-reducing end of maltooligosaccharides and adding the resulting oligosaccharides to the non-reducing end of α-D-glucan chains that terminate with a residue linked by an α-(1→4) linkage, forming an α(1→6) linkage. The enzyme is not able to form successive α(1→6) linkages. Unlike EC 2.4.1.394, 4,6-α-glucanotransferase (linear substrates/linear products), which can only act on linear substrates, this enzyme is able to act on both linear and branched substrates, and can form the branched reuteran type of α-glucan. |

Systematic name: |
(1→2)-β-D-glucan:(1→2)-β-D-glucan 2-β-D-[(1→2)-β-D-glucano]-transferase (cyclizing and configuration-retaining) |
Comments: |
This enzyme is the cyclization domain of cyclic β-1,2-glucan synthase. Enzymes from Brucella abortus and Thermoanaerobacter italicus were characterized. The cyclization domain of cyclic β-1,2-glucan synthase is flanked by an N-terminal β-1,2-glucosyltransferase domain (a UDP-α-D-glucose-dependent synthase, not EC 2.4.1.391) and a C-terminal β-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 Thermoanaerobacter 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 β-1,2-glucooligosaccharides without cycling. The entire cyclic β-1,2-glucan synthase from Brucella abortus synthesizes cyclic β-1,2-glucans with DP 17-22. |
