Enzymes required for maltodextrin catabolism in Enterococcus faecalis exhibit novel activities
(American Society for Microbiology, 2017-07)
Maltose and maltodextrins are formed during the degradation of starch or glycogen. Maltodextrins are composed of a mixture of maltooligosaccharides formed by α-1,4- but also some α-1,6-linked glucosyl residues. The ...
ADP-glucose pyrophosphorylase: A regulatory enzyme for plant starch synthesis
(Springer, 2004-12)
In plants, the synthesis of starch occurs by utilizing ADP-glucose as the glucosyl donor for the elongation of α-1,4-glucosidic chains. In photosynthetic bacteria the synthesis of glycogen follows a similar pathway. The ...
Selection of nanobodies that block the enzymatic and cytotoxic activities of the binary Clostridium difficile toxin CDT
(Nature Publishing Group, 2015-01)
The spore-forming gut bacterium Clostridium difficile is the leading cause of antibiotic-associated diarrhea in hospitalized patients. The major virulence factors are two large glucosylating cytotoxins. Hypervirulent strains ...
Absence of Nucleoside Diphosphatase Activities in the Yeast Secretory Pathway Does Not Abolish Nucleotide Sugar-dependent Protein Glycosylation
(American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 2005-12)
It is accepted that glycosyltransferase-generated nucleoside diphosphates are converted to monophosphates in the secretory pathway by nucleoside diphosphatases (NDPases) to provide substrates for antiport transport systems ...
Sucrose synthase in unicellular cyanobacteria and its relationship with salt and hypoxic stress
(Springer, 2012-01)
Higher plants and cyanobacteria metabolize sucrose (Suc) by a similar set of enzymes. Suc synthase (SuS, A/UDP-glucose: D-fructose 2-a-D-glucosyl transferase) catalyzes a reversible reaction. However, it is in the cleavage ...
Sucrose synthase is involved in the conversion of sucrose to polysaccharides in filamentous nitrogen-fixing cyanobacteria
(Springer, 2008-06)
Higher plants and cyanobacteria metabolize sucrose (Suc) by a similar set of enzymes. Suc synthase (SuS, UDP-glucose: D-fructose 2- -D-glucosyl transferase, EC 2.4.1.13) catalyses the synthesis and cleavage of Suc, and in ...
