Association between phosphoglucomutase-1 gene y420h polymorphism and type 2 diabetes mellitus: A Case-control study

Archives of Medicine and Health Sciences, 2021
Background and Aim: Phosphoglucomutase 1 (PGM1) is an enzyme that catalyzes the key step that links glycogen synthesis with glucose metabolism. Single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) (rs11208257) is a functional variant in the PGM1 gene that codes for this

S-Assimilation Influences in Carrageenan Biosynthesis Genes during Ethylene-Induced Carposporogenesis in Red Seaweed Grateloupia imbricata

Marine Drugs, 2022
The synthesis of cell-wall sulfated galactans proceeds through UDP galactose, a major nucleotide sugar in red seaweed, whilst sulfate is transported through S-transporters into algae.

Modified Monosaccharides Content of Xanthan Gum Impairs Citrus Canker Disease by Affecting the Epiphytic Lifestyle of Xanthomonas citri subsp. citri

Microorganisms, 2021
Xanthomonas citri subsp. citri (X. citri) is a plant pathogenic bacterium causing citrus canker disease. The xanA gene encodes a phosphoglucomutase/phosphomannomutase protein that is a key enzyme required for the synthesis of lipopolysaccharides and ...

Jasmonates disrupt carrageenan synthesis during carposporogenesis in the red seaweed Grateloupia imbricata

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023
In this study, we monitored changes in cell wall sulfated galactans in the red seaweed Grateloupia imbricata after the rapid (48 h) induction of cystocarp maturation and carpospore development by the volatile hormone methyl jasmonate (MEJA). Synthesis of

Glucose-1,6-Bisphosphate, a Key Metabolic Regulator, Is Synthesized by a Distinct Family of α-Phosphohexomutases Widely Distributed in Prokaryotes

mBio, 2022
The reactions of α-d-phosphohexomutases (αPHM) are ubiquitous, key to primary metabolism, and essential for several processes in all domains of life. The functionality of these enzymes relies on an initial phosphorylation step which requires the presence

The Glaesserella parasuis phosphoglucomutase is partially required for lipooligosaccharide synthesis

Veterinary Research, 2020
Lipooligosaccharides (LOSs) are virulence determinants of Glaesserella parasuis, a pathogen of the respiratory tract of pigs. We previously reported that disruption of the galU or galE gene in G. parasuis results in increased sensitivity to porcine serum,

The inhibition of phosphoglucomutase by beryllium [PDF]

Biochemical Journal, 1966
1. The inhibition of phosphoglucomutase by beryllium has been examined. 2. Inhibition by beryllium does not occur unless a complex-forming agent such as cysteine or imidazole is present. It is therefore similar to activation by magnesium. 3. The inhibition is progressive and the rate follows first-order kinetics, which may be defined by a bimolecular ...

Sensitivity of yeast to lithium chloride connects the activity of YTA6 and YPR096C to translation of structured mRNAs.

PLoS ONE, 2020
Lithium Chloride (LiCl) toxicity, mode of action and cellular responses have been the subject of active investigations over the past decades. In yeast, LiCl treatment is reported to reduce the activity and alters the expression of PGM2, a gene that ...

Candidate pathogenicity factor/effector proteins of ‘Candidatus Phytoplasma solani’ modulate plant carbohydrate metabolism, accelerate the ascorbate–glutathione cycle, and induce autophagosomes

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023
The pathogenicity of intracellular plant pathogenic bacteria is associated with the action of pathogenicity factors/effectors, but their physiological roles for most phytoplasma species, including ‘Candidiatus Phytoplasma solani’ are unknown.
