Using Natural Variation to Investigate the Function of Individual Amino Acids in the Sucrose-Binding Box of Fructan:Fructan 6G-Fructosyltransferase (6G-FFT) in Product Formation [PDF]
Enzymes of the glycosyl hydrolase family 32 are highly similar with respect to primary sequence but catalyze divergent reactions. Previously, the importance of the conserved sucrose-binding box in determining product specificity of onion fructan:fructan ...

Characterization of the Fructosyltransferase Gene of Actinomyces naeslundii WVU45 [PDF]
ABSTRACT Oral actinomycetes produce fructosyltransferase (FTF) enzymes which convert sucrose into polymers of d -fructose, known as levans, and these polymers are thought to contribute to the persistence and virulence of the organisms.

Fructosyltransferase Activities in the Leaf Growth Zone of Tall Fescue [PDF]
High concentrations of water-soluble carbohydrates, mainly fructan, accumulate in the growth zone of tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea Schreb.) leaf blades. We studied sucrose-hydrolyzing activities in the leaf growth zone because of their importance in carbohydrate partitioning.

Development and Characterization of an Enzyme Membrane Reactor for Fructo-Oligosaccharide Production
Fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS) are linear fructans comprising 2−5 fructose units linked to a terminal glucose residue. They are widely used as food and feed additives due to their sweetness, low calorific value, and prebiotic properties.

Heterologous expression of Aspergillus terreus fructosyltransferase in Kluyveromyces lactis
Fructo-oligosaccharides are prebiotic and hypocaloric sweeteners that are usually extracted from chicory. They can also be produced from sucrose using fructosyltransferases, but the only commercial enzyme suitable for this purpose is Pectinex Ultra, which is produced with Aspergillus aculeatus.
