Update on Nucleotide Sugar Synthesis UDP-Sugar Pyrophosphorylase: A New Old Mechanism for Sugar Activation
Simple sugars (e.g. Glc, Gal) are the building blocks of disaccharides (e.g. Suc) and polysaccharides (e.g. cellulose, hemicellulose). To produce disaccharides and polysaccharides, a given simple sugar needs to be “activated.” This activation involves the addition of a nucleoside-diphosphate group to a sugar, resulting in the formation of a nucleotide sugar. Such an activated sugar can then be ...
متن کاملLeishmania UDP-sugar pyrophosphorylase: the missing link in galactose salvage?
The Leishmania parasite glycocalyx is rich in galactose-containing glycoconjugates that are synthesized by specific glycosyltransferases that use UDP-galactose as a glycosyl donor. UDP-galactose biosynthesis is thought to be predominantly a de novo process involving epimerization of the abundant nucleotide sugar UDP-glucose by the UDP-glucose 4-epimerase, although galactose salvage from the env...
متن کاملA common structural blueprint for plant UDP-sugar-producing pyrophosphorylases.
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 characte...
متن کاملSubstrate Specificity and Inhibitor Sensitivity of Plant UDP-Sugar Producing Pyrophosphorylases
UDP-sugars are essential precursors for glycosylation reactions producing cell wall polysaccharides, sucrose, glycoproteins, glycolipids, etc. Primary mechanisms of UDP sugar formation involve the action of at least three distinct pyrophosphorylases using UTP and sugar-1-P as substrates. Here, substrate specificities of barley and Arabidopsis (two isozymes) UDP-glucose pyrophosphorylases (UGPas...
متن کاملEfficient one-pot multienzyme synthesis of UDP-sugars using a promiscuous UDP-sugar pyrophosphorylase from Bifidobacterium longum (BLUSP).
A promiscuous UDP-sugar pyrophosphorylase (BLUSP) was cloned from Bifidobacterium longum strain ATCC55813 and used efficiently with a Pasteurella multocida inorganic pyrophosphatase (PmPpA) with or without a monosaccharide 1-kinase for one-pot multienzyme synthesis of UDP-galactose, UDP-glucose, UDP-mannose, and their derivatives. Further chemical diversification of a UDP-mannose derivative res...
