Efficient biological conversion of all sugars from lignocellulosic biomass is necessary for the cost-effective production of biofuels and commodity chemicals. Galactose is one of the most abundant sugar in many hemicelluloses, and it will be important to

Galactokinase deficiency: lessons from the GalNet registry [PDF]
Galactokinase (GALK1) deficiency is a rare hereditary galactose metabolism disorder. Beyond cataract, the phenotypic spectrum is questionable. Data from affected patients included in the Galactosemias Network registry were collected to better characterize the phenotype.Observational study collecting medical data of 53 not previously reported GALK1 ...

The Leloir pathway, which consists of highly conserved enzymes, metabolizes galactose. Deficits in three enzymes in this pathway, namely galactose-1-phosphate uridylyltransferase (GALT), galactokinase (GALK1), and UDP-galactose-4′-epimerase (GALE), are ...

Reshaping the Treatment Landscape of a Galactose Metabolism Disorder. [PDF]
ABSTRACT The Leloir pathway was elucidated decades ago, unraveling how galactose is metabolized in the body. Different inborn errors of metabolism in this pathway are known, the most frequent and well‐studied being Classic Galactosemia (CG) (OMIM 230400) due to pathogenic variants in the GALT gene.

Hereditary galactokinase deficiency [PDF]
A baby with galactokinase deficiency, a recessive inborn error of galactose metabolism, is described. The case is exceptional in that there was no evidence of gypsy blood in the family concerned. The investigation of neonatal hyperbilirubinaemia led to the discovery of galactosuria.

Survival of primary human hepatocytes and death of induced pluripotent stem cells in media lacking glucose and arginine. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Tumorigenicity is an associated risk for transplantation of hepatocytes differentiated from human induced pluripotent stem (hiPS) cells. Hepatocytes express the enzymes galactokinase and ornithine transcarbamylase (OTC) to aid in their own ...

Experiences with galactosemia in Croatia [PDF]
The aim of our study was to describe the characteristics of patients with classical galactosemia in Croatia, with the description of patients with galactokinase deficiency and a patient who was a double heterozygote for mutations of the galactose-1 ...

HEK293T cell lines defective for O-linked glycosylation. [PDF]
Here we describe derivatives of the HEK293T cell line that are defective in their ability to generate mucin-type O-linked glycosylation. Using CRISPR/Cas9 and a single-cell GFP-sorting procedure, the UDP-galactose-4-epimerase (GALE), galactokinase 1 ...

D-galactose catabolism in Penicillium chrysogenum: Expression analysis of the structural genes of the Leloir pathway [PDF]
In this study, we analyzed the expression of the structural genes encoding the five enzymes comprising the Leloir pathway of D-galactose catabolism in the industrial cell factory Penicillium chrysogenum on various carbon sources.
