The active site of SUS1 is able to bind both fructose and UDP-glucose. UDP-glucose is mainly bound by the GT-BC domain, whereas the fructose in β-furanose form is bound within a pocket in the GT-Bn domain.
The GT-B domain is highly conserved in other isoforms and in the sucrose-phosphate synthase. This conservation reinforce the evolutionary relationship of those enzymes. Furthermore, this domain is also conserved in other species.

Structure and Functional aspects of Sucrose Synthase from Arabidopsis thaliana

Sucrose Synthase 1 (EC:2.4.1.13), also known as the Sucrose-UDP glucolsyltransferase 1, is a reversible enzyme allowing the synthesis or the degradation of Sucrose in Arabidopsis thaliana. It is a 360 kDa tetramer and belongs to the Glycosyltransferase subfamily 4 (GT4).
