The first identification and characterization of a prokaryotic gene (spsA) encoding sucrose-phosphate synthase (SPS) is reported for Synechocystis sp. strain PCC 6803, a unicellular non-nitrogen-fixing cyanobacterium. Comparisons of the deduced amino acid sequence and some relevant biochemical properties of the enzyme with those of plant SPSs revealed important differences in the N-terminal and UDP-glucose binding site regions, substrate specificities, molecular masses, subunit compositions, and regulatory properties.
