Elucidation of D-alanine biosynthetic pathways in the hyperthermophiles: Characterization of alanine racemase from Thermus thermophilus and the structure and dual physiological functions of lysine racemase from Thermotoga maritima.

The hyperthermophilic bacterium Thermotoga maritima contains a peptidoglycan comprising D-alanine, D-glutamate, and D-lysine. We have previously identified the biosynthetic pathways of D-lysine and D-glutamate; however, the biosynthetic pathway of D-alanine is unclear in T. maritima. The present study elucidated the D-...

GH172 Difructose Dianhydride I Synthase: A Two-Stepped Journey via Glycosylation and Cyclization Using QM/MM Metadynamics.

The difructose dianhydride I synthase/hydrolase α FFase 1 catalyzes the reversible transformation of inulobiose into difructose dianhydride I, a component of caramel. The proposed reaction mechanism of such a transformation consists of a glycosylation step followed by a cyclization to yield the dianhydride from the dis...

Structural mechanism defining product specificity in glycoside hydrolase family 66 cycloisomaltotetraose glucanotransferase

The crystal structures of CI4Tase are determined and the strict size-control mechanism of CI4Tase is elucidated, providing a structural foundation for engineering cycloisomaltooligosaccharide-producing enzymes with optimized transglycosylation efficiency and specificity for industrial applications.

Crystal structure of a class II UDP-glucose—hexose-1-phosphate uridylyltransferase from Bifidobacterium longum involved in human milk oligosaccharide metabolism

Infant-associated bifidobacteria utilize lacto-N-biose I (LNB) and galacto-N-biose (GNB), major components of human milk oligosaccharides and intestinal mucin, respectively, through the GNB/LNB metabolic pathway. A UDP-glucose–hexose-1-phosphate uridylyltransferase (GalT) from Bifidobacterium longum JCM 1217 (BlGalT2)...
