Unravelling the Specificity of Laminaribiose Phosphorylase from Paenibacillus sp. YM‐1 towards Donor Substrates Glucose/Mannose 1‐Phosphate by Using X‐ray Crystallography and Saturation Transfer Difference NMR Spectroscopy [PDF]
Glycoside phosphorylases (GPs) carry out a reversible phosphorolysis of carbohydrates into oligosaccharide acceptors and the corresponding sugar 1‐phosphates.

Glycogen phosphorylase inhibitor N-(3,5-dimethyl-benzoyl)-N'-(β-Dglucopyranosyl) urea improves glucose tolerance under normoglycemic and diabetic conditions and rearranges hepatic metabolism [PDF]
Glycogen phosphorylase (GP) catalyzes the breakdown of glycogen and largely contributes to hepatic glucose production making GP inhibition an attractive target to modulate glucose levels in diabetes.

Two new gene clusters involved in the degradation of plant cell wall from the fecal microbiota of Tunisian dromedary. [PDF]
Dromedaries are capable of digesting plant cell wall with high content of lignocellulose of poor digestibility. Consequently, their intestinal microbiota can be a source of novel carbohydrate-active enzymes (CAZymes).

A UV/Vis Spectroscopy-Based Assay for Monitoring of Transformations Between Nucleosides and Nucleobases [PDF]
Efficient reaction monitoring is crucial for data acquisition in kinetic and mechanistic studies. However, for conversions of nucleosides to their corresponding nucleobases, as observed in enzymatically catalyzed nucleoside phosphorylation reactions, the

Glucose-derived spiro-isoxazolines are anti-hyperglycemic agents against type 2 diabetes through glycogen phosphorylase inhibition [PDF]
International audienceGlycogen phosphorylase (GP) is a target for the treatment of hyperglycaemia in the context of type 2 diabetes. This enzyme is responsible for the depolymerization of glycogen into glucose thereby affecting the levels of glucose in ...

RNA degradation by the plant RNA exosome involves both phosphorolytic and hydrolytic activities
The yeast and human RNA exosome is structurally related to prokaryotic phosphorylases but degrades RNA only via associated hydrolytic activities. Here the authors show that the RNA exosome of plants, and likely those of a few basal eukaryotes, combines ...

Three novel oligosaccharides synthesized using
Background Recently synthesized novel oligosaccharides have been produced primarily by hydrolases and glycosyltransferases, while phosphorylases have also been subject of few studies.

The evolution of an allosteric site in phosphorylase [PDF]
Background: Glycogen phosphorylases consist of a conserved catalytic core onto which different regulatory sites are added. By comparing the structures of isozymes, we hope to understand the structural principles of allosteric regulation in this family of
