A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11920167B2) discloses an engineered sucrose synthase with specific mutations that enhance its activity. The engineered sucrose synthase comprises a polypeptide sequence with at least 90% sequence identity to SEQ ID NO:74 and includes a mutation set at specific positions. Additionally, the patent claims cover compositions containing this engineered sucrose synthase.
Furthermore, the patent describes a method for glycosylation of substrates using the engineered sucrose synthase in combination with engineered glycosyltransferases. The method involves contacting the substrate with the enzymes under specific conditions to produce glycosylated products, such as rebaudioside M, rebaudioside A, and rebaudioside D. The process also requires the provision of NDP-glucose, which can be selected from various options like ADP-glucose and GDP-glucose. These innovative methods and compositions aim to improve the production of specific glycosylated products efficiently.
