Improving the thermal stability and branching efficiency of Pyrococcus horikoshii OT3 glycogen branching enzyme

International Journal of Biological Macromolecules
In practical applications, the gelatinisation temperature of starch is high. Most current glycogen branching enzymes (GBEs, EC 2.4.1.18) exhibit optimum activity at moderate or low temperatures and quickly lose their activity at higher temperatures, limiting the application of GBEs in starch modification.

Vibrio vulnificus glycogen branching enzyme preferentially transfers very short chains: N1 domain determines the chain length transferred [PDF]

open access: yesFEBS Letters, 2015
The glycogen branching enzyme from Vibrio vulnificus (VvGBE) transfers short side chains (DP 3–5) significantly greater than any other bacterial glycogen branching enzyme (GBE).

Factors influencing glycogen branching enzyme activity in mouse liver [PDF]

open access: yes, 2022
Glycogen is the storage polysaccharide in a spectrum of organisms ranging from yeast to humans. Glycogen has a highly branched structure somewhat resembling a tree or shrub, with the branch points formed by glucose molecules being joined by α 1,6 ...

Characterization of substrate and product specificity of the purified recombinant glycogen branching enzyme of Rhodothermus obamensis

open access: yesBiochimica Et Biophysica Acta - General Subjects, 2013
Background: Glycogen and starch branching enzymes catalyze the formation of alpha(1 -> 6) linkages in storage polysaccharides by rearrangement of preexisting alpha-glucans.

Glycogen branching enzyme in Lafora myoclonus epilepsy

Biochemical Medicine, 1982
Abstract Glycogen branching enzymes (EC 2.4.1.18) in extracts of cerebral cortex from a patient with Lafora myoclonus epilepsy and several normal subjects were compared in terms of activity and physical properties of the proteins. Branching-enzyme activity in Lafora cortex tissue was significantly higher than in controls. Gel-exclusion chromatography

Differentiated structure of synthetic glycogen-like particle by the combined action of glycogen branching enzymes and amylosucrase

International Journal of Biological Macromolecules, 2022
Glycogen-like particles (GLPs) were built up from sucrose by applying de novo one-pot enzymatic process of amylosucrase (ASase; 6 U·mL-1) and glycogen branching enzymes (GBEs; 0.001 and 0.005 U·mL-1). Due to different chain-length transferring patterns of GBEs, structurally differentiated GLPs were synthesized.

Apparent absence of glycogen branching enzyme activity in phosphofructokinase deficiency

Journal of Inherited Metabolic Disease, 1991
SummaryA 30‐year‐old woman with clinical features and biochemical findings of muscle phosphofructokinase deficiency was found to have a very low level of α‐1,4‐glucan:α‐1,4‐glucan‐6‐transglucosylase (branching enzyme, EC 2.4.1.18) activity in muscle. In contrast, branching enzyme activity in the leukocytes was in the range of control values.

Alteration of mitochondrial function in the livers of mice with glycogen branching enzyme deficiency

Biochimie, 2021
Glycogen storage disease type IV (GSD IV) is caused by mutations in the glycogen branching enzyme gene (GBE1) that lead to the accumulation of aberrant glycogen in affected tissues, mostly in the liver. To determine whether dysfunctional glycogen metabolism in GSD IV affects other components of cellular bioenergetics, we studied mitochondrial function ...

Structure-function relationships of glycogen branching enzymes

open access: yes, 2011
The new findings described in the thesis of Marta Palomo (which led to a patent application) are particularly valuable for understanding how glycogen is made and are important for developing new types of branched α -glucan polymers.

Mode of Action of Glycogen Branching Enzyme from Neurospora crassa

The Journal of Biochemistry, 1990
Neurospora crassa branching enzyme [EC 2.4.1.18] acted on potato amylopectin or amylose to convert them to highly branched glycogen-type molecules which consisted of unit chains of six glucose units. The enzyme also acted on the amylopectin beta-limit dextrin, indicating that the enzyme acted on internal glucose chains as well as outer chains.
