Characterization of Glycoside Hydrolase Families 13 and 31 Reveals Expansion and Diversification of α-Amylase Genes in the Phlebotomine Lutzomyia longipalpis and Modulation of Sandfly Glycosidase Activities by Leishmania Infection

Frontiers in Physiology, 2021
Sugar-rich food sources are essential for sandflies to meet their energy demands, achieving more prolonged survival. The digestion of carbohydrates from food is mainly realized by glycoside hydrolases (GH). To identify genes coding for α-glycosidases and

Structural and Functional Characterization of Drosophila melanogaster α-Amylase

Molecules, 2023
Insects rely on carbohydrates such as starch and glycogen as an energy supply for growth of larvae and for longevity. In this sense α-amylases have essential roles under extreme conditions, e.g., during nutritional or temperature stress, thereby ...

Exploration of the Transglycosylation Activity of Barley Limit Dextrinase for Production of Novel Glycoconjugates

Molecules, 2023
A few α-glucan debranching enzymes (DBEs) of the large glycoside hydrolase family 13 (GH13), also known as the α-amylase family, have been shown to catalyze transglycosylation as well as hydrolysis. However, little is known about their acceptor and donor

Design of Novel Benzimidazole Derivatives as Potential α-amylase Inhibitors by 3D-QSAR Modeling and Molecular Docking Studies

Journal of the Turkish Chemical Society, Section A: Chemistry, 2020
The α-amylase is an enzyme of a highly conserved glycoside hydrolase family, α-amylase inhibitors can be used as clinical agents for the treatment of Diabetes Mellitus (DM). A 3D-QSAR study was performed on 45 2-aryl benzimidazole derivatives, which have

Characterization of glycoside hydrolase family 11 xylanase from Streptomyces sp. strain J103; its synergetic effect with acetyl xylan esterase and enhancement of enzymatic hydrolysis of lignocellulosic biomass

Microbial Cell Factories, 2021
Background Xylanase-containing enzyme cocktails are used on an industrial scale to convert xylan into value-added products, as they hydrolyse the β-1,4-glycosidic linkages between xylopyranosyl residues.
