Metabolic pathway analysis of the biodegradation of cellulose by Bacillus velezensis

Heliyon
A green strategy that using Bacillus velezensis to degrade cellulose in bamboo forest waste was demonstrated. The cultivation conditions of microorganism, identified as Bacillus velezensis by 16S rDNA, were optimized by response surface methodology (RSM).

Blocking glycogen synthase 1 in white adipose tissue alleviates hypermetabolism following severe burn injury through inhibition of JAK2 by UDPG

Cell Reports
Summary: Browning of white adipose tissue (WAT) contributes to the sustained hypermetabolism observed in patients with burns. How glycogen metabolism in WAT is linked to burn-induced hypermetabolism remains unknown.

Targeting UGCG sensitizes AML cells to venetoclax through RAB32-mediated endoplasmic reticulum-mitochondria communication

Cell Reports
Summary: Uridine diphosphate (UDP)-glucose ceramide glucosyltransferase (UGCG) is an enzyme that glycosylates ceramide and blunts its pro-apoptotic activity in cancer cells. Targeting UGCG sensitizes solid cancer cells to chemotherapy.

UDP-D-glucose 4-epimerase activity of the tissue culture of white poplars (Populus alba L. var. pyramidalis)

, 1982
The presence of UDP-D-glucose 4-epimerase (EC 5.1.3.2) in the culture tissue of white poplar was evidenced. As found, the partially purified enzyme preparation contained UDP-D-glucose glucosyltransferase, UDP-D-galactose galactosyltransferase and non ...

A DFT study on the catalytic mechanism of UDP-glucose dehydrogenase

, 2010
Uridine 5′-diphosphate glucuronic acid (UDPGlcUA) is a key intermediary metabolite in many species, including pathogenic bacteria and humans. It is biosynthesized from UDP-glucose (UDPGlc) by uridine diphosphate glucose dehydrogenase (UDPGlcDH) via a ...

Alteration of the substrate specificity of Thermus caldophilus ADP-glucose pyrophosphorylase by random mutagenesis through error-prone polymerase chain reaction

, 2006
Expanding the scope of stereoselectivity is of current interest in enzyme catalysis. In this study, using error-prone polymerase chain reaction (PCR), a thermostable adenosine diphosphate (ADP)-glucose pyrophosphorylase (AGPase) from Thermus caldophilus ...
