IUBMB Comments
Requires Mg2+ for maximal activity . The enzyme-catalysed reaction is reversible . In the reverse direction to that shown above, the enzyme is specific for alpha,alpha-trehalose as substrate, as it cannot use alpha- or beta-paranitrophenyl glucosides, maltose, sucrose, lactose or cellobiose . While the enzymes from the thermophilic bacterium Rubrobacter xylanophilus and the hyperthermophilic archaeon Pyrococcus horikoshii can use ADP-, UDP- and GDP-alpha-D-glucose to the same extent [2,3], that from the hyperthermophilic archaeon Thermococcus litoralis has a marked preference for ADP-alpha-D-glucose and that from the hyperthermophilic archaeon Thermoproteus tenax has a marked preference for UDP-alpha-D-glucose .
