Abstract Since the first description of galactosemia in 1908 and despite decades of research, the pathophysiology is complex and not yet fully elucidated. Galactosemia is an inborn error of carbohydrate metabolism caused by deficient activity of any of the galactose metabolising enzymes.

Inborn errors of metabolite repair
Abstract It is traditionally assumed that enzymes of intermediary metabolism are extremely specific and that this is sufficient to prevent the production of useless and/or toxic side‐products. Recent work indicates that this statement is not entirely correct.

Assignment of the human gene for hexose-1-phosphate uridylyltransferase to chromosome 3.
Mouse-human hybrid clones were tested for the presence of human hexose-1-phosphate uridylyl-transferase (EC 2.7.7.12;UDPglucose:alpha-D-galactose-1-phosphate uridylyltransferase).

Recent advances in the enzymatic synthesis of sugar-nucleotides using nucleotidylyltransferases and glycosyltransferases [PDF]
Sugar-nucleotides are imperative to carbohydrate metabolism and glycoconjugate biosynthesis. Enzymatic methods to access these key materials offer a powerful alternative to traditional chemical synthesis routes.

Dual role of hexose-1-phosphate uridylyltransferase in galactosamine metabolism.
The metabolism of 2-amino-2-deoxy-d-galactose (galactosamine) in liver involves the formation of UDP-galactosamine, UDP-glucosamine, UDP-N-acetylglucosamine and UDP-N-acetylgalactosamine; however, the conversion of the UDP-hexosamines to the UDP-N ...

Biosynthesis of GDP-fucose and other sugar nucleotides in the blood-stages of Plasmodium falciparum [PDF]
Carbohydrate structures play important roles in many biological processes, including cell adhesion, cell-cell communication, and host-pathogen interactions. Sugar nucleotides are activated forms of sugars used by the cell as donors for most glycosylation

UTP-glucose-1-phosphate uridylyltransferases (UGPases) are enzymes that produce UDP-glucose from UTP and glucose-1-phosphate. In Bacillus subtilis 168, UDP-glucose is required for the decoration of wall teichoic acid (WTA) with glucose residues and the ...

Using gene expression data and network topology to detect substantial pathways, clusters and switches during oxygen deprivation of Escherichia coli [PDF]
Background Biochemical investigations over the last decades have elucidated an increasingly complete image of the cellular metabolism. To derive a systems view for the regulation of the metabolism when cells adapt to environmental changes, whole genome ...

Potato is one of the world’s most important food crops, with a time-consuming breeding process. In this study, we performed a genome-wide association (GWAS) analysis of the two important traits of potato tuber shape and eye depth, using the tetraploid ...
