A Metagenomic Investigation of the Duodenal Microbiota Reveals Links with Obesity. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
Few studies have tested the small intestine microbiota in humans, where most nutrient digestion and absorption occur. Here, our objective was to examine the duodenal microbiota between obese and normal volunteers using metagenomic techniques.We tested ...

Catalytic activity of the nucleic acid component of the 1,4-α-glucan branching enzyme from rabbit muscles

Nucleic Acids Research, 1987
2.5 S RNA, the nucleic acid component of the 1,4-alpha-D-glucan: 1,4-alpha-D-glucan 6-alpha-(1,4-alpha-glucano)-transferase from rabbit muscles, devoid of any protein, catalyses the branching reaction, as does the holoenzyme. The conclusion is drawn that 2.5 S RNA is a ribozyme. To get an insight into the significance of different parts of the molecule

The Synergistic Effect of GH13 and GH57 GBEs of Petrotoga mobilis Results in α-Glucan Molecules with a Higher Branch Density. [PDF]

Polymers (Basel), 2023
Glycogen is a biopolymer consisting of glycosyl units, with a linear backbone connected by α-1,4-linkages and branches attached via α-1,6-linkages. In microorganisms, glycogen synthesis involves multiple enzymes, with glycogen branching enzymes (GBEs ...

Hypoxia promotes glycogen accumulation through hypoxia inducible factor (HIF)-mediated induction of glycogen synthase 1. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2010
When oxygen becomes limiting, cells reduce mitochondrial respiration and increase ATP production through anaerobic fermentation of glucose. The Hypoxia Inducible Factors (HIFs) play a key role in this metabolic shift by regulating the transcription of ...

Primary Structure of the Nucleic Acid from the 1,4-α-Glucan Branching Enzyme [PDF]

European Journal of Biochemistry, 1979
The primary structure of the nucleic acid from the branching enzyme 1,4-alpha-D-glucan: 1,4-alpha-D-glucan 6-alpha-(1,4-alpha-glucano)-transferase (2.5-S RNA) isolated from rabbit muscles has been elucidated. The polyribonucleotide consists of 31 nucleotides; the unique features of the polyribonucleotide are the unusually high content of modified ...

Starch biosynthetic genes and enzymes are expressed and active in the absence of starch accumulation in sugar beet tap-root [PDF]

, 2014
BACKGROUND: Starch is the predominant storage compound in underground plant tissues like roots and tubers. An exception is sugar beet tap-root (Beta vulgaris ssp altissima) which exclusively stores sucrose.
