Starch accumulates in the plastids of green plant tissues during day to provide carbon for metabolism at night. hydrolysis is catalyzed by members β-amylase (BAM) family, which Arabidopsis thaliana (At) includes nine structurally and functionally diverse members. One these enzymes, AtBAM2, a plastid-localized enzyme that unique among characterized β-amylases since it tetrameric exhibits sigmoidal kinetics. Sequence alignments show BAM domains AtBAM7, catalytically inactive, nuclear-localized...
Starch in plants is a large polymer of glucose that stores excess for times limited photosynthesis. used many industrial processes such as laundry and papermaking. In plants, regulation starch storage degradation multifaceted system allows the plant to adjust carbohydrate response variety environmental developmental conditions. However, we are unsure how this process regulated. β-amylases (BAMs) hydrolyze produce maltose. Plants contain BAM proteins possibly each has unique function...
Starch in plants is a large polymer of glucose which stores excess for times limited photosynthesis such as at night. and derivatives starch are used many industrial processes laundry papermaking while also playing nutritional role humans other animals. In plants, regulation storage degradation multifaceted system allows the plant to adjust carbohydrate response variety environmental stress conditions. However, we have an incomplete picture how this process regulated. β-amylases or BAMs...
