Abstract:

Plant pyrophosphorylases that are capable of producing UDP-sugars, key precursors for glycosylation reactions, include UDP-glucose pyrophosphorylases (A- and B-type), UDP-sugar pyrophosphorylase and UDP-N-acetylglucosamine pyrophosphorylase. Although not sharing significant homology at the amino acid sequence level, the proteins share a common structural blueprint. Their structures are characterized by the presence of the Rossmann fold in the central (catalytic) domain linked to enzyme-specific N-terminal and C-terminal domains, which may play regulatory functions.

Abstract:

ABSTRACT The commercial gelling agent gellan is a heteropolysaccharide produced by Sphingomonas elodea ATCC 31461. In this work, we carried out the biochemical characterization of the enzyme encoded by the first gene (rmlA) of the rml 4-gene cluster present in the 18-gene cluster required for gellan biosynthesis (gel cluster). Based on sequence homology, the putative rml operon is presumably involved in the biosynthesis of dTDP-rhamnose, the sugar necessary for the incorporation of rhamnose in the gellan repeating unit. Heterologous RmlA was purified as a fused His6-RmlA protein from extracts

Abstract:

Leishmaniasis is a neglected disease that is caused by different species of the protozoan parasite Leishmania, and it currently affects 12 million people worldwide. The antileishmanial therapeutic arsenal remains very limited in number and efficacy, and there is no vaccine for this parasitic disease. One pathway that has been genetically validated as an antileishmanial drug target is the biosynthesis of uridine diphosphate-glucose (UDP-Glc), and its direct derivative UDP-galactose (UDP-Gal). De novo biosynthesis of these two nucleotide sugars is controlled by the specific UDP-glucose pyrophosp

Abstract:

Skeletal-muscle UDP-glucose pyrophosphorylase is inactivated by reaction with 2-ethoxy-N-(ethoxy-carbonyl)-1,2-dihydroquinoline (EEDQ) and 1-(3-dimethylaminopropyl-3-ethylcarbodi-imide (EDAC), two reagents specific for carboxylate groups. The former reagent is a more effective inactivator than EDAC. Although no evidence of reversible enzyme-reagent complexes of the affinity-labelling type was obtained by kinetic analysis of the inactivation, the selective protection of UDP-glucose pyrophosphorylase activity against inactivation by EEDQ in the presence of uridine substrates is indicative of an

Abstract:

<p>UDP-glucose pyrophosphorylase (UGPase) is a key component of carbohydrate production in plants, especially with respect to sucrose synthesis/ metabolism, by producing UDP-glucose, a key precursor to sucrose and to many polysaccharides in cell walls. UDP-glucose is also utilized in the synthesis of carbohydrate moiety of glycolipids, glycoproteins and a variety of secondary metabolites, among other functions. The UGPase enzyme may have a rate-limiting function in sugar biosynthesis, and its activity is now known to increase upon variety of abiotic stresses, with possible effects on an overal

Abstract:

Avena sativa L. (2n = 6x = 42, AACCDD genome composition) or common oat is the cereal grain possessing the highest levels of water-soluble seed (1-3,1-4)-β-D-glucan (β-glucan), a hemicellulose important to human health due to its ability to lower serum LDL cholesterol levels. Understanding the mechanisms of β-glucan accumulation in oat endosperm is, consequently, of great interest. We report a genome-wide association study (GWAS) to identify quantitative trait loci (QTLs) controlling β-glucan production in oat, identifying 58 significantly associated markers.
