Different fructan types are synthesized by an array of different plant fructosyltransferases (FTs) belonging to family 32 of glycoside hydrolases (GH32), clustering together with GH68 in Clan-J. Here, the 3D structure of a plant FT from a native source, the Pachysandra terminalis 6-SST/6-SFT (Pt6-SST/6-SFT) is reported. Besides its 1-SST (1-kestose forming) and hydrolytic side activities, the enzyme uses sucrose to create graminan- and levan-type fructans, which are probably associated with cold tolerance in this species. Furthermore, a Pt6-SST/6-SFT complex with 6-kestose was generated, representing a genuine acceptor binding modus at the +1, +2 and +3 subsites in the active site. The enzyme shows a unique configuration in its active site vicinity, including a unique D/Q couple located at the +1 subsite playing a dual role in donor and acceptor substrate binding. Furthermore, it shows a unique orientation of some hydrophobic residues, probably contributing to its specific functionality. A model is presented showing the formation of a beta(2-6) fructosyl linkage on 6-kestose to create 6,6-nystose, a mechanism that differs from the creation of a beta(2-1) fructosyl linkage on sucrose to produce 1-kestose. The structures shed light on the evolution of plant FTs from their vacuolar invertase ancestors, and contribute to further understand the complex structure-function relationships within plant GH32 members.
