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 ...

Simultaneous Repression of GLUCAN WATER DIKINASE 1 and STARCH BRANCHING ENZYME 1 in Potato Tubers Leads to Starch With Increased Amylose and Novel Industrial Properties. [PDF]
Biotechnol JGraphical Abstract and Lay Summary Post‐transcriptional gene silencing was used to manufacture potato plants repressed in glucan water dikinase 1 and/or starch branching enzyme 1. This led to an altered starch structure, which affected its physical properties, meaning that the starch can be used in novel industrial processes.

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 ...

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 ...

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
