Description
This enzyme, like EC 4.2.2.16 [levan fructotransferase (DFA-IV-forming)] and EC 4.2.2.18 [inulin fructotransferase (DFA-III-forming)] eliminates the fructan chain from the terminal disaccharide leaving a difructose dianhydride. These enzymes have long been known as fructotransferases, so this is retained in the accepted name. Since the transfer is intramolecular, the reaction is an elimination and, hence, the enzyme is a lyase, belonging in EC 4.
Form
Liquid or lyophilized powder
Storage
Store it at +4 ºC for short term. For long term storage, store it at -20 ºC～-80 ºC.
Synonyms
inulin fructotransferase (DFA-I-producing); inulin fructotransferase (depolymerizing, difructofuranose-1,2':2',1-dianhydride-forming); inulin D-fructosyl-D-fructosyltransferase (1,2':1',2-dianhydride-forming); inulin D-fructosyl-D-fructosyltransferase (forming α-D-fructofuranose β-D-fructofuranose 1,2':1',2-dianhydride); 2,1-β-D-fructan lyase (α-D-fructofuranose-β-D-fructofuranose-1,2':2,1'-dianhydride-forming)
Reaction
Produces α-D-fructofuranose β-D-fructofuranose 1,2':2,1'-dianhydride (DFA I) by successively eliminating the diminishing (2→1)-β-D-fructan (inulin) chain from the terminal D-fructosyl-D-fructosyl disaccharide.
