Competition between Granule Bound Starch Synthase and Starch Branching Enzyme in Starch Biosynthesis [PDF]
Rice, 2019 Background Starch branching enzymes (SBE) and granule-bound starch synthase (GBSS) are two important enzymes for starch biosynthesis. SBE mainly contributes to the formation of side branches, and GBSS mainly contributes for the synthesis of amylose ...

Effects of Variations in Starch Synthase on Starch Properties and Eating Quality of Rice [PDF]
Plant Production Science, 2008 We evaluated the effects of functional variation in three starch synthases in rice (Oryza sativa L.)−granule-bound starch synthase I (GBSSI, wx), starch synthase I (SSI, SSI), and starch synthase IIa (SSIIa, alk)−between indica cultivar Kasalath and ...

Critical roles of soluble starch synthase SSIIIa and granule-bound starch synthase Waxy in synthesizing resistant starch in rice [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2016 Changes in human lifestyle and food consumption have resulted in a large increase in the incidence of type-2 diabetes, obesity, and colon disease, especially in Asia. These conditions are a growing threat to human health, but consumption of foods high in

Soluble Starch Synthase Enzymes in Cereals: An Updated Review
Agronomy, 2021 Cereal crops have starch in their endosperm, which has provided calories to humans and livestock since the dawn of civilization to the present day. Starch is one of the important biological factors which is contributing to the yield of cereal crops ...

Genome-Wide Identification and Genetic Variations of the Starch Synthase Gene Family in Rice [PDF]
Plants, 2021 Starch is a major ingredient in rice, and the amylose content of starch significantly impacts rice quality. OsSS (starch synthase) is a gene family related to the synthesis of amylose and amylopectin, and 10 members have been reported.

Crystal Structures of the Catalytic Domain of Arabidopsis thaliana Starch Synthase IV, of Granule Bound Starch Synthase From CLg1 and of Granule Bound Starch Synthase I of Cyanophora paradoxa Illustrate Substrate Recognition in Starch Synthases [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2018 Starch synthases (SSs) are responsible for depositing the majority of glucoses in starch. Structural knowledge on these enzymes that is available from the crystal structures of rice granule bound starch synthase (GBSS) and barley SSI provides incomplete ...

Starch Synthesis in Ostreococcus tauri: The Starch-Binding Domains of Starch Synthase III-B Are Essential for Catalytic Activity [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2018 Starch is the major energy storage carbohydrate in photosynthetic eukaryotes. Several enzymes are involved in building highly organized semi-crystalline starch granules, including starch-synthase III (SSIII), which is widely conserved in photosynthetic ...

Loss of starch synthase IIIa changes starch molecular structure and granule morphology in grains of hexaploid bread wheat. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2022 Starch synthase III plays a key role in starch biosynthesis and is highly expressed in developing wheat grains. To understand the contribution of SSIII to starch and grain properties, we developed wheat ssIIIa mutants in the elite cultivar Cadenza using ...

Identification and phylogenetic analysis of a novel starch synthase in maize [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2015 Starch is an important reserve of carbon and energy in plants, providing the majority of calories in the human diet and animal feed. Its synthesis is orchestrated by several key enzymes, and the amount and structure of starch, affecting crop yield and ...

Understanding the Binding of Starch Fragments to Granule-Bound Starch Synthase
Biomacromolecules, 2021 Granule-bound starch synthase (GBSS) plays a major role, that of chain elongation, in the biosynthesis of amylose, a starch component with mostly (1 → 4)-α connected long chains of glucose with a few (1 → 6)-α branch points.
