FunFam 135691: Glycogen operon protein GlgX homolog

There are 8 EC terms in this cluster

Please note: EC annotations are assigned to the full protein sequence rather than individual protein domains. Since a given protein can contain multiple domains, it is possible that some of the annotations below come from additional domains that occur in the same protein, but have been classified elsewhere in CATH.

Note: The search results have been sorted with the annotations that are found most frequently at the top of the list. The results can be filtered by typing text into the search box at the top of the table.

EC Term Annotations Evidence
Isoamylase. [EC: 3.2.1.68]
Hydrolysis of (1->6)-alpha-D-glucosidic branch linkages in glycogen, amylopectin and their beta-limit dextrins.
  • Also readily hydrolyzes amylopectin.
  • Differs from EC 3.2.1.41 and EC 3.2.1.142 by its inability to hydrolyze pullulan, and by limited action on alpha-limit dextrins.
  • Maltose is the smallest sugar it can release from an alpha-(1->6)- linkage.

4-alpha-glucanotransferase. [EC: 2.4.1.25]
Transfers a segment of a (1->4)-alpha-D-glucan to a new position in an acceptor, which may be glucose or a (1->4)-alpha-D-glucan.
  • An enzymic activity of this nature forms part of the mammalian and Saccharomyces cerevisiae glycogen branching system (see EC 3.2.1.33).
  • Formerly EC 2.4.1.3.

Pullulanase. [EC: 3.2.1.41]
Hydrolysis of (1->6)-alpha-D-glucosidic linkages in pullulan, amylopectin and glycogen, and in the alpha- and beta-limit dextrins of amylopectin and glycogen.
  • Different from EC 3.2.1.142 in its action on glycogen, and its rate of hydrolysis of limit dextrins.
  • Its action on amylopectin is complete.
  • Maltose is the smallest sugar that it can release from an alpha- (1->6)-linkage.
  • Formerly EC 3.2.1.69.

Glucose-1-phosphate adenylyltransferase. [EC: 2.7.7.27]
ATP + alpha-D-glucose 1-phosphate = diphosphate + ADP-glucose.
    6 A0A0E1SQJ4 A0A0E1SQJ4 A0A0H3PEU7 A0A0H3PEU7 A4N0C7 A4N0C7
    1,4-alpha-glucan branching enzyme. [EC: 2.4.1.18]
    Transfers a segment of a (1->4)-alpha-D-glucan chain to a primary hydroxy group in a similar glucan chain.
    • Converts amylose into amylopectin.
    • The description (official name) requires a qualification depending on the product, glycogen or amylopectin, e.g. glycogen branching enzyme, amylopectin branching enzyme.
    • The latter has frequently been termed Q-enzyme.
    6 A4NYI0 A4NYI0 A5UEJ3 A5UEJ3 D2QA01 D2QA01
    Phosphoribosylformylglycinamidine synthase. [EC: 6.3.5.3]
    ATP + N(2)-formyl-N(1)-(5-phospho-D-ribosyl)glycinamide + L-glutamine + H(2)O = ADP + phosphate + 2-(formamido)-N(1)-(5-phospho-D- ribosyl)acetamidine + L-glutamate.
      4 A0A073KRM5 A0A073KRM5 A0KZE0 A0KZE0
      Amylo-alpha-1,6-glucosidase. [EC: 3.2.1.33]
      Hydrolysis of (1->6)-alpha-D-glucosidic branch linkages in glycogen phosphorylase limit dextrin.
      • This enzyme hydrolyzes an unsubstituted glucose unit linked by an alpha(1->6) bond to an alpha(1->4) glucose chain.
      • The enzyme activity found in mammals and Saccharomyces cerevisiae is in a polypeptide chain containing two active centers.
      • The other activity is similar to that of EC 2.4.1.25, which acts on the glycogen phosphorylase limit dextrin chains to expose the single glucose residues, which the 6-alpha-glucosidase activity can then hydrolyze.
      • Together, these two activities constitute the glycogen debranching system.

      Glycogen phosphorylase. [EC: 2.4.1.1]
      ((1->4)-alpha-D-glucosyl)(n) + phosphate = ((1->4)-alpha-D-glucosyl)(n-1) + alpha-D-glucose 1-phosphate.
      • This entry covers several enzymes from different sources that act in vivo on different forms of (1->4)-alpha-D-glucans.
      • Some of these enzymes catalyze the first step in the degradation of large branched glycan polymers - the phosphorolytic cleavage of alpha-1,4-glucosidic bonds from the non-reducing ends of linear poly(1->4)-alpha-D-glucosyl chains within the polymers.
      • The enzyme stops when it reaches the fourth residue away from an alpha-1,6 branching point, leaving a highly branched core known as a limit dextrin.
      • The description (accepted name) of the enzyme should be modified for each specific instance by substituting 'glycogen' with the name of the natural substrate, e.g. maltodextrin phosphorylase, starch phosphorylase, etc.
