Application

Kojibiose, a disaccharide product of glucose caramelization and an inhibitor of plant glucosidase I, may be used to help identify and characterize glucosidase I enzymes involved in terminal deglycosylation of high-mannose oligosaccharides. Kojibiose may be used as a substrate to study the biological species, enzymes and catabolic processes that catabolize it as an energy source. Kojibiose may be used to identify, differentiate and characterize kojibiose phosphorylase(s) (KP).

Biochem/physiol Actions

Kojibiose is an inhibitor of plant glucosidase I. It inhibits the removal of terminal glucose from the high-mannose oligosaccharide (Glc)3(Man)9(GlcNAc)2, either from the free oligosaccharide or from the oligosaccharide attached to a protein via N-linkage.

A unique gene cluster responsible for kojibiose utilization was identified in the genome of Pyrococcus sp. strain ST04. The proteins it encodes hydrolyze kojibiose, a disaccharide product of glucose caramelization, and form glucose-6-phosphate (G6P) in two steps. Heterologous expression of

Glycoside hydrolase (GH) family 65 contains phosphorylases acting on maltose (Glc-α1,4-Glc), kojibiose (Glc-α1,2-Glc), trehalose (Glc-α1,α1,-Glc), and nigerose (Glc-α1,3-Glc). These phosphorylases can efficiently catalyze the reverse reactions with high specificities, and thus can be applied to the practical synthesis of α-glucosyl

Molecular level insight into water structure and structural dynamics near proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids is critical to the quantitative understanding of many biophysical processes. Unfortunately, understanding hydration and hydration dynamics around such large molecules is challenging because of the
