General function:

Involved in phosphorylase activity

Specific function:

Phosphorylase is an important allosteric enzyme in carbohydrate metabolism. Enzymes from different sources differ in their regulatory mechanisms and in their natural substrates. However, all known phosphorylases share catalytic and structural properties

Gene Name:

glgP

Uniprot ID:

P0AC86

Molecular weight:

93172

Reactions

General function:

Involved in catalytic activity

Specific function:

Since only maltooligosaccharides up to a chain length of 6 glucose units are actively transported through the cytoplasmic membrane via the membrane-bound complex of three proteins, malF, malG, and malK, longer maltooligosaccharides must first be degraded by the periplasmic alpha-amylase, the malS protein

Gene Name:

malS

Uniprot ID:

P25718

Molecular weight:

75712

Reactions

General function:

Involved in hydrolase activity, hydrolyzing O-glycosyl compounds

Specific function:

Endohydrolysis of (1->4)-alpha-D-glucosidic linkages in oligosaccharides and polysaccharides

Gene Name:

amyA

Uniprot ID:

P26612

Molecular weight:

56639

Reactions

General function:

Involved in catalytic activity

Specific function:

Hydrolyzes the alpha-1,6-glucosidic linkages in glycogen which has first been partially depolymerized by phosphorylase. Shows only very little activity with native glycogen

Gene Name:

glgX

Uniprot ID:

P15067

Molecular weight:
