Journal ArticleDOI
Regulation of the Amount of Starch in Plant Tissues by ADP Glucose Pyrophosphorylase
TL;DR: Plant and bacterial systems for starch and glycogen biosynthesis are similar and distinct from yeast and mammalian systems, wherein glycogen synthase has been demonstrated to be the rate-limiting regulatory step.
Journal ArticleDOI
From glycogen to amylopectin: a model for the biogenesis of the plant starch granule.
Steven G. Ball,Hanping Guan,Martha G. James,Alan M. Myers,Peter L. Keeling,Grégory Mouille,Alain Buléon,Paul Colonna,Jack Preiss +8 more
TL;DR: The induced fit hypothesis for starch growth only requires the understanding of amylopectin cluster synthesis as proposed in the two dimensional model.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bacterial glycogen synthesis and its regulation
TL;DR: Allosteric Regulation of Bacterial ADP-glucose Pyrophosphorylase has In Vivo Functionality and possible Regulation by Cyclic AMP is investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Functional analysis of conserved histidines in ADP-glucose pyrophosphorylase from Escherichia coli.
Margaret A. Hill,Jack Preiss +1 more
TL;DR: Kinetic analysis of H83Q and H83N indicates that histidine 83 is not involved in the catalytic mechanism or in substrate binding but possibly in maintenance of the active catalytic structure, which is more susceptible to proteolysis than wild-type enzyme.
Journal ArticleDOI
Regulation of the Biosynthesis and Degradation of Starch
TL;DR: In vivo Evidence Strongly Suggesting that the [3-P-glycerate]l[P,] Regulates Leaf Starch Synthesis is suggested.
