Almost all glucosyl transfer reactions rely on glucose-1-phosphate (Glc-1-P) that either immediately acts as glucosyl donor or as substrate for the synthesis of the more widely used Glc dinucleotides, ADPglucose or UDPglucose. In this communication, we have analyzed two Glc-1-P-related

In 1945, Earl Sutherland (1915-1974) [corrected] and associates began studies of the mechanism of hormone-induced glycogen breakdown in the liver. In 1956, their efforts culminated in the identification of cyclic AMP, an ancient molecule generated in many cell types in

Two similar genes, dnmL and rmbA in Streptomyces peucetius, which encode for glucose-1-phosphate (G-1-P) thymidylyltransferases were expressed in Escherichia coli under similar conditions. While RmbA was expressed in soluble form, DnmL was found as insoluble aggregates in inclusion bodies. The
