Functional Families

Overview of the Structural Clusters (SC) and Functional Families within this CATH Superfamily. Clusters with a representative structure are represented by a filled circle.

Superfamily EC Annotations

Note: the EC figure is not being displayed for this superfamily as there are more than 100 different EC terms.

There are 19 EC terms in this cluster

Please note: EC annotations are assigned to the full protein sequence rather than individual protein domains. Since a given protein can contain multiple domains, it is possible that some of the annotations below come from additional domains that occur in the same protein, but have been classified elsewhere in CATH.

Note: The search results have been sorted with the annotations that are found most frequently at the top of the list. The results can be filtered by typing text into the search box at the top of the table.

      6(G)-fructosyltransferase. [EC: 2.4.1.243]
      (1-beta-D-fructofuranosyl-(2->1)-)(m+1) alpha-D-glucopyranoside + (1-beta-D-fructofuranosyl-(2->1)-)(n+1) alpha-D-glucopyranoside = (1-beta-D-fructofuranosyl-(2->1)-)(m) alpha-D-glucopyranoside + (1-beta- D-fructofuranosyl-(2->1)-)(n+1) beta-D-fructofuranosyl-(2->6)-alpha-D- glucopyranoside (m > 0, n >= 0).
      • This enzyme catalyzes the transfer of the terminal (2->1)-linked beta-D-fructosyl group of a mono- or oligosaccharide substituent on O-1 of the fructose residue of sucrose onto O-6 of its glucose residue.
      • For example, if 1-kestose (1(F)-(beta-D-fructofuranosyl)sucrose) is both the donor and recipient in the reaction shown above, i.e., if m = 1 and n = 1, then the products will be sucrose and 6(G)-di-beta-D- fructofuranosylsucrose.
      • In this notation, the superscripts F and G are used to specify whether the fructose or glucose residue of the sucrose carries the substituent; alternatively, this may be indicated by the presence and/or absence of primes.
      • Sucrose cannot be a donor substrate in the reaction (i.e. m cannot be zero) and inulin cannot act as an acceptor.
      • Side reactions catalyzed are transfer of a beta-D-fructosyl group between compounds of the structure 1(F)-(1-beta-D- fructofuranosyl)(m)-6(G)-(1-beta-D-fructofuranosyl)(n) sucrose, where m >= 0 and n = 1 for the donor, and m >= 0 and n >= 0 for the acceptor.

EC 3.2.1.153).
      • Sucrose, while being a very poor substrate, can substantially inhibit enzyme activity in some cases.
