Starch-binding domains (SBDs) comprise distinct protein modules that bind starch, glycogen
or related carbohydrates and have been classified into different families of carbohydrate …

The immunoglobulin (Ig) protein domain is widespread in nature having a well-recognized
role in proteins of the immune system. In this review, we describe the proteins containing Ig …

Glycogen branching enzymes (GBE) or 1, 4-α-glucan branching enzymes (EC 2.4. 1.18)
introduce α-1, 6 branching points in α-glucans, eg, glycogen. To identify structural features in …

Glycogen is a highly-branched polysaccharide that is widely distributed across the three life
domains. It has versatile functions in physiological activities such as energy reserve, osmotic …

The present bioinformatics analysis was focused on the starch-binding domains (SBDs) and
SBD-like motifs sequentially related to carbohydrate-binding module (CBM) families CBM20 …

Glycoside hydrolase (GH) family 13 comprises about 30 different specificities. Four of them
have been proposed to form the GH13 pullulanase subfamily: pullulanase, isoamylase …

Key message The distribution of starch synthase I and starch branching enzyme IIb between
the starch granule and amyloplast stroma plays an important role in determining endosperm …

In bacteria, glycogen plays important roles in carbon and energy storage. Its structure has
recently been linked with bacterial environmental durability. Among the essential genes for …

Abstract Glycogen branching enzymes (GBEs; 1, 4-α-glucan branching enzyme; EC 2.4.
1.18) have so far been described to be capable of both α-1, 6-transglycosylation (branching) …

α-Glucan branching enzyme (GBE) catalyzes the formation of α-1, 6 branch points in starch
or glycogen by hydrolyzing α-1, 4-glucosidic linkages and then synthesizing α-1, 6 …
