Requires Mg2+ or Mn2+ for maximal activity [2]. The enzyme from Synechocystis sp. strain PCC 6803 is not specific for UDP-glucose as it can use ADP-glucose and, to a lesser extent, GDP-glucose as substrates [2]. The enzyme from rice leaves is activated by glucose 6-phosphate but that from cyanobacterial species is not [2]. While the reaction catalysed by this enzyme is reversible, the enzyme usually works in concert with EC 3.1.3.24, sucrose-phosphate phosphatase, to form sucrose, making the above reaction essentially irreversible [3]. The F in sucrose 6F-phosphate is used to indicate that the fructose residue of sucrose carries the substituent.
knockdown and knockout mutants of isoform SPS1 show a 29-46% reduction in enzyme activity in the leaves, but the carbohydrate content in the leaves and plant growth are not significantly different from those of wild type plants. In a double knockout mutant of SPS1 and SPS11, an 84% reduction in leaf enzyme activity results in higher starch accumulation in the leaves than in the wild type leaves. However, the double knockout mutant plants grow normally
