Levansucrase SacB from B. megaterium synthesizes high molecular weight, beta-(2,6) linked levan from sucrose by transfer of fructosyl units. In this study, the structures of SacB variants Y247A, Y247W, N252A, D257A and K373A at resolutions between 1.75 and 2.0 Å have been determined. By means of SacB, it is shown for the first time that amino acids remote to the active site of a polysaccharide-forming enzyme have a well-defined and rationally explainable effect on the sugar polymer formation activity. The structural data is consistent with the kinetic and biochemical analyses. Conformational analyses of variants Y247A, Y247W, N252A and K373A reveal an unchanged active site architecture. Supporting the crystallographic data, the kinetic para...
