Abstract
The cell-associated beta-D-fructosyltransferase of Streptococcus saliv arius, which is devoid of the cell wall anchoring motif, LPXTG, is rel eased on exposure to its substrate, sucrose. Deletions within the C te rminus of the enzyme im plicated both the hydrophobic a nd the proline -glycine-serine-threonine-rich wall-associated domain in stabilizing t he enzyme on the cell surface.
