Alternansucrase (EC 2.4.1.140, sucrose: (1-->6), (1-->3)-alpha-D-glucan 6(3)-alpha-D-glucosyltransferase) is a D-glucansucrase that synthesizes an alternating alpha-(1-->3), (1-->6)-linked D-glucan from sucrose. It also synthesizes oligosaccharides via D-glucopyranosyl transfer to various acceptor sugars. We have studied the acceptor products arising from methyl glycosides

The specificity of Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast on the removal of carbohydrates by fermentation was studied. The common monosaccharides, D-glucose, D-fructose, D-mannose, and D-galactose were completely removed; D-glucuronic acid and D-ribose were partially removed; but D-xylose, D-rhamnose, and L-sorbose were not

Drugs are transported by cotransporters with widely different turnover rates. We have examined the underlying mechanism using, as a model system, glucose and indican (indoxyl-beta-D-glucopyranoside) transport by human Na+/glucose cotransporter (hSGLT1). Indican is transported by hSGLT1 at 10% of the

The ion-trap technique is an experimental approach allowing measurement of changes in ionic concentrations within a restricted space (the trap) comprised of a large-diameter ion-selective electrode apposed to a voltage-clamped Xenopus laevis oocyte. The technique is demonstrated with oocytes expressing

The sodium-dependent glucose co-transporter (SGLT1) is regulated by protein kinases. The aim of the present study was to examine the role of protein kinase C (PKC) in the regulation of rabbit (rb) SGLT1 activity as determined by alpha-methyl-D-glucopyranoside (AMG) uptake
