The Synergistic Effect of GH13 and GH57 GBEs of Petrotoga mobilis Results in α-Glucan Molecules with a Higher Branch Density. [PDF]
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 ...

Diverse electrophysiological demyelinating features in a late-onset glycogen storage disease type IIIa case [PDF]
Glycogen storage disease type IIIa (GSD IIIa) is a rare etiology among patients with adult-onset myopathy, which is typically associated with axonopathy rather than demyelination.

An extracellular cell-attached pullulanase confers branched α-glucan utilization in human gut Lactobacillus acidophilus [PDF]
Of the few predicted extracellular glycan-active enzymes, glycoside hydrolase family 13 subfamily 14 (GH13_14) pullulanases are the most common in human gut lactobacilli.

Glycogen and its metabolism: some new developments and old themes [PDF]
Glycogen is a branched polymer of glucose that acts as a store of energy in times of nutritional sufficiency for utilization in times of need. Its metabolism has been the subject of extensive investigation and much is known about its regulation by ...

On the kinetic and allosteric regulatory properties of the ADP-glucose pyrophosphorylase from Rhodococcus jostii: An approach to evaluate glycogen metabolism in oleaginous bacteria [PDF]
Rhodococcus spp. are oleaginous bacteria that accumulate glycogen during exponential growth. Despite the importance of these microorganisms in biotechnology, little is known about the regulation of carbon and energy storage, mainly the relationship ...

Lafora disease offers a unique window into neuronal glycogen metabolism [PDF]
Lafora disease (LD) is a fatal, autosomal recessive, glycogen-storage disorder that manifests as severe epilepsy. LD results from mutations in the gene encoding either the glycogen phosphatase laforin or the E3 ubiquitin ligase malin. Individuals with LD
