متن کاملAmino acids in conserved region II are crucial to substrate specificity, reaction velocity, and regioselectivity in the transglucosylation of honeybee GH-13 α-glucosidases.
Honeybees, Apis mellifera, possess three α-glucosidase isozymes, HBG-I, HBG-II, and HBG-III, which belong to glycoside hydrolase family 13. They show high sequence similarity, but clearly different enzymatic properties. HBG-III preferred sucrose to maltose as substrate and formed only α-1,4-glucosidic linkages by transglucosylation, while HBG-II preferred maltose and formed the α-1,6-linkage. M...
متن کاملThe sim operon facilitates the transport and metabolism of sucrose isomers in Lactobacillus casei ATCC 334.
Inspection of the genome sequence of Lactobacillus casei ATCC 334 revealed two operons that might dissimilate the five isomers of sucrose. To test this hypothesis, cells of L. casei ATCC 334 were grown in a defined medium supplemented with various sugars, including each of the five isomeric disaccharides. Extracts prepared from cells grown on the sucrose isomers contained high levels of two pol...
متن کاملStudy of Hypoglycemic Effect of Juglans regia Leaves and its Mechanism
Background: Hypoglycemic effect of Juglans regia leaves was reported in other previous researches. Objective: To investigate the mechanism of hypoglycemic action of Julans regia Leaves Methanolic Extract (JRLME), we designed the following study. Methods: Male wistar rats were classified in five groups, each of six, including alloxan-induced diabetic rats treated with JRLME at doses of 250...
متن کاملMolecular evolutionary mechanisms driving functional diversification of α-glucosidase in Lepidoptera
The digestive tract of lepidopteran insects is unique given its highly alkaline pH. The adaptive plasticity of digestive enzymes in this environment is crucial to the highly-efficient nutritional absorption in Lepidoptera. However, little is known about the molecular adaptation of digestive enzymes to this environment. Here, we show that lepidopteran α-glucosidase, a pivotal digestive enzyme, d...
