摘要： Carbohydrate degradation is crucial for living organisms due to their essential functions in providing energy and composing various metabolic pathways. Nevertheless, in the catalytic cycle of polysaccharide degradation, the details of how the substrates bind and how the products release need more case studies. Here, we choose an inulin fructotransferase (SpIFTase) as a model system, which can degrade inulin into functionally difructose anhydride I. At first, the crystal structures of SpIFTase in the absence of carbohydrates and complex with fructosyl-nystose (GF4), difructose anhydride I, and fructose are obtained, giving the substrate trajectory and product path of SpIFTase, which are further supported by steered molecular dynamics simulations (MDSs) along with mutagenesis. Furthermore, structural topology variations at the active centers of inulin fructotransferases are suggested as the structural base for product release, subsequently proven by substitution mutagenesis and MDSs. Therefore, this study provides a case in point for a deep understanding of the catalytic cycle with substrate trajectory and product path.
