Trehalase: A New Pollen Enzyme [PDF]

Plant Physiology, 1969
Pollen from 5 plant species (Lycopersicon pimpinellifolium Mill., Hermerocallis minor Mill., Galtonia condicans Decne., Camellia japonica L., and Lathyrus odoratus L.) representing 4 families germinated well in media containing trehalose as the sole carbon source.

The Evolutionary History and Functional Divergence of Trehalase (treh) Genes in Insects

Frontiers in Physiology, 2019
Trehalases (treh) have been found in different organisms, such as bacteria, fungi, yeast, nematodes, insects, vertebrates, and plants. Their biochemical properties are extremely variable and not yet fully understood.

Different functions of the insect soluble and membrane-bound trehalase genes in chitin biosynthesis revealed by RNA interference. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2010
BACKGROUND: Trehalase, an enzyme that hydrolyzes trehalose to yield two glucose molecules, plays a pivotal role in various physiological processes. In recent years, trehalase proteins have been purified from several insect species and are divided into ...

Probing the Influence of Linker Length and Flexibility in the Design and Synthesis of New Trehalase Inhibitors

Molecules, 2018
This work aims to synthesize new trehalase inhibitors selective towards the insect trehalase versus the porcine trehalase, in view of their application as potentially non-toxic insecticides and fungicides.

Trehalose itself plays a critical role on lipid metabolism: Trehalose increases jejunum cytoplasmic lipid droplets which negatively correlated with mesenteric adipocyte size in both HFD-fed trehalase KO and WT mice

Nutrition & Metabolism, 2020
Background Trehalose is a functional disaccharide that has anti-metabolic activities such as suppression of adipocyte hypertrophy in mice and alleviation of impaired glucose tolerance in humans.

Exploiting macrophage autophagy-lysosomal biogenesis as a therapy for atherosclerosis [PDF]

, 2017
Macrophages specialize in removing lipids and debris present in the atherosclerotic plaque. However, plaque progression renders macrophages unable to degrade exogenous atherogenic material and endogenous cargo including dysfunctional proteins and ...

Impact of photoperiod on circadian trehalose and trehalase rhythms in the digestive system of silkworm, Bombyx mori [PDF]

, 2013
Circadian trehalose and trehalase rhythms were studied in the digestive system of Bombyx mori under 12 hr light-dark cycle (LD), continuous light (LL) and continuous dark (DD).

Inhibitory effects of plant latex on trehalase activity and trehalase gene expression in the red flour beetle, Tribolium castaneum (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae)

European Journal of Entomology, 2014
Plant latex contains proteins and other components that defend plants against herbivorous insects. We determined the inhibitory activity of methanolic extracts of latex obtained from three species of plant: mulberry, Morus alba; jackfruit, Artocarpus ...

RNAi-mediated abrogation of trehalase expression does not affect trehalase activity in sugarcane [PDF]

SpringerPlus, 2012
AbstractTo engineer trehalose metabolism in sugarcane (Saccharumspp. hybrids) two transgenes were introduced to the genome: trehalose-6-phosphate synthase- phosphatase (TPSP), to increase trehalose biosynthesis and an RNAi transgene specific for trehalase, to abrogate trehalose catabolism.

In silico and in vivo analysis reveal a novel gene in Saccharomyces cerevisiae trehalose metabolism

BMC Genomics, 2003
Background The ability to respond rapidly to fluctuations in environmental changes is decisive for cell survival. Under these conditions trehalose has an essential protective function and its concentration increases in response to enhanced expression of ...
