The diverse roles of glycogen branching enzymes and their synergistic activity [PDF]

open access: gold
Branched α-glucans like starch and glycogen are vital for storing energy in organisms. Glycogen accumulates when nutrients are scarce but carbon is available. Its structure, including chain length and branching, varies among bacteria and is crucial for its function.

The Structure of Maltooctaose-Bound Escherichia coli Branching Enzyme Suggests a Mechanism for Donor Chain Specificity

open access: yesMolecules, 2023
Glycogen is the primary storage polysaccharide in bacteria and animals. It is a glucose polymer linked by α-1,4 glucose linkages and branched via α-1,6-linkages, with the latter reaction catalyzed by branching enzymes. Both the length and dispensation of

Molecular basis of impaired glycogen metabolism during ischemic stroke and hypoxia. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
BACKGROUND: Ischemic stroke is the combinatorial effect of many pathological processes including the loss of energy supplies, excessive intracellular calcium accumulation, oxidative stress, and inflammatory responses.

Dysfunctional muscle and liver glycogen metabolism in mdx dystrophic mice. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a severe, genetic muscle wasting disorder characterised by progressive muscle weakness. DMD is caused by mutations in the dystrophin (dmd) gene resulting in very low levels or a complete absence of the dystrophin ...

Alleviation of a polyglucosan storage disorder by enhancement of autophagic glycogen catabolism

open access: yesEMBO Molecular Medicine, 2021
This work employs adult polyglucosan body disease (APBD) models to explore the efficacy and mechanism of action of the polyglucosan‐reducing compound 144DG11.

Liver Transplantation for Glycogen Storage Disease Type IV

open access: yesFrontiers in Pediatrics, 2021
Glycogen storage disease type IV (GSD IV) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder caused by glycogen–branching enzyme (GBE) deficiency, leading to accumulation of amylopectin–like glycogen that may damage affected tissues.
