Abstract

Polypeptides having the ability to specifically form connections of glucosyl units in alpha 1,3 on an acceptor having at least one hydroxyl moiety are presented. The polypeptides include i) the pattern I of sequence SEQ ID NO: 1, ii) the pattern II of sequence SEQ ID NO: 2, iii) the pattern III of sequence SEQ ID NO: 3, and iv) the pattern IV of sequence SEQ ID NO: 4, or derivates from one or several of said patterns, wherein the polypeptide furthermore has an aspartic residue (D) at position 5 of the pattern II (SEQ ID NO: 2), a glutamic acid residue (E) at position 6 of the pattern III (SEQ ID NO: 3) an an aspartic acid residue (D) at position 6 of the pattern IV (SEQ ID NO: 4). Methods for producing acceptors connected to glucosyl units in alpha 1,3 using the polypeptides are also provided.
