Origin and evolution of the main starch biosynthetic enzymes

Synthetic and Systems Biotechnology, 2023
Starch, a semi-crystalline energy storage form primarily found in plant plastids plays a crucial role in various food or no-food applications. Despite the starch biosynthetic pathway's main enzymes have been characterized, their origin and evolution ...

Purification of Glycogen Debranching Enzyme from Porcine Brain: Evidence for Glycogen Catabolism in the Brain [PDF]

Bioscience, Biotechnology, and Biochemistry, 2006
Amylo-1,6-glucosidase from porcine brain was purified to homogeneity by ammonium sulfate fractionation, followed by sequential steps of liquid chromatography on DEAE-Sephacel, Sephacryl S-300, and Super Q. The purified enzyme had both maltooligosaccharide transferase and amylo-1,6-glucosidase activities within a single polypeptide chain, and the ...

Enhanced hypocrellin production of Shiraia sp. SUPER-H168 by overexpression of alpha-amylase gene. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2018
Relative expression levels of twenty-four amylase genes in Shiraia sp. SUPER-H168 were investigated by real-time quantitative PCR when various carbohydrates, including glucose, sucrose, maltose, amylose, amylopectin and corn flour, were used as carbon ...

Protein Involved in Initiation 1 Interaction With Starch Synthase 4 From Arabidopsis thaliana Induces Inhibition of Elongating Activity

Proteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Starch is the major energy storage compound in plants. It accumulates in the form of insoluble, partly crystalline granules whose number and shape are specific to each plant species. These characteristics are defined very early in starch biosynthesis, at the initiation stage.

Revealing the Diverse Allergenic Protein Repertoire of Six Widely Consumed Crab Species: A Species‐Specific Allergen in King Crab

Allergy, EarlyView.
This study comprehended the allergen profiles of six edible crab species using proteomic and transcriptomic analyses and identified 11 putative allergens. King crab has a distinct protein and allergen profile, with the discovery of malate dehydrogenase as a novel king crab‐specific allergen registered as Para c 11.

GeARF5/GeIAA33‐GeSWEET14 module balances the secondary metabolic biosynthesis to increase the yield and quality in Gastrodia elata

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Auxin signaling regulates the formation of vegetative propagation corms in Gastrodia elata by regulating sugar‐acid interconversion, which in turn regulates polysaccharide and starch biosynthesis as well as biosynthesis of the bioactive metabolite gastrodin.

Candidate Gene Polymorphisms and their Association with Glycogen Content in the Pacific Oyster Crassostrea gigas.

PLoS ONE, 2015
BackgroundThe Pacific oyster Crassostrea gigas is an important cultivated shellfish that is rich in nutrients. It contains high levels of glycogen, which is of high nutritional value. To investigate the genetic basis of this high glycogen content and its

Glycogen debranching enzyme from chicken pectoralis muscle [PDF]

FEBS Letters, 1979
M-line proteins have been isolated by several investigators using various procedures [l-S]. Of these, low salt extraction is particularly valuable since it removes the M-line rather specifically [l-4]. Electrophoretic analysis of the low salt extract (5 mM TrisHCl (pH 8)) showed three major protein bands on NaDoS04 gel electrophoresis, with subunit ...

Hypoxia and the cytoskeleton

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Schematic outlining the activation of hypoxia‐sensitive pathways, the influence of hypoxia and associated pathways on the cytoskeleton, and the impact of these on disease progression. Abstract A highly‐regulated and dynamic cytoskeleton is vital for functional cellular physiology and the maintenance of homeostasis.
