Amylomaltases in Extremophilic Microorganisms

Abstract: Amylomaltases (4-α-glucanotransferases, E.C. 2.4.1.25) are enzymes which can perform a double-step catalytic process, resulting in a transglycosylation reaction. They hydrolyse glucosidic bonds of α-1,4′-D-glucans and transfer the glucan portion with the newly available anomeric carbon to the 4′-position of an α-1,4′-d-glucan acceptor. The intramolecular reaction produces a cyclic α-1,4′-glucan. Amylomaltases can be found only in prokaryotes, where they are involved in glycogen degradation and maltose metaboli… Show more

“…BLASTP analysis of the 48-amino-acid insert did not provide significant results. The H. walsbyi enzyme was also characterized by a high percentage of acidic amino acids (16.7%), the highest value detected so far among extreme amylomaltases [25]. This reflects the origin of the enzyme from a halophilic archaeal microorganism.…”

“…Amylomaltases are gaining interest in the food and pharmaceutical industries for their ability to modify starch, and several enzymes from thermophilic and hyper-thermophilic prokaryotes have already been produced as recombinant molecules and characterized [25]. Since amylomaltases from halophilic microorganisms have never been isolated, we considered it interesting to characterize the putative H. walsbyi enzyme.…”

“…Nakapong et al, 2022 focused on heterologous expression of 4αGTases including CGTase and amylomaltase for overproduction and beneficial properties for industrial applications [10]. Leoni and co-workers emphasized thermostability of amylomaltases from the extremophiles [11]. Ahmad et al, 2015 provided a review of structural similarities and mechanism of thermostable 4αGTases in comparison with other starch processing enzymes from other glycoside hydrolase (GH) families [12].…”
