International audience. Background: The transglucosidase GBD-CD2 shows a unique ␣-(132) branching specificity among GH70 family members when catalyzing dextran glucosylation from sucrose. Results: The truncated form ⌬N 123-GBD-CD2 was biochemically studied and structurally characterized at 1.90 Å resolution. Conclusion: Dextran recognition and regiospecificity clearly involves a residue in subsite ϩ1. Significance: This is the first three-dimensional structure of a GH70 enzyme that reveals determinants of ␣-(132) linkage specificity.
