Differences in the activities of domain-swapped chimeras of two homologous GH57 glucanotransferases suggest that a glucan-binding DUF could influence donor substrate specificity

Arpita Sarkar, Pallavi Kaila Sharma, Purnananda Guptasarma

The paper shows that domain 3 of GH57 glucanotransferases determines donor substrate specificity through a glucan-binding site at its domain interface.

A glucanotransferase that uses two sub-sites and four catalytic aspartates/glutamates to disproportionate oligosaccharides ranging in length from maltotriose to starch

Arpita Sarkar, Pallavi Kaila Sharma, Prince Tiwari, Purnananda Guptasarma

This paper demonstrates that PfuAmyGT is an exo-amylase-cum-glucanotransferase capable of transferring glucose and disproportionating oligosaccharides using separate sub-sites for donor and acceptor binding.
