  • A Soluble Starch Synthase I Gene, Ibssi, Alters the Content, Composition, Granule Size and Structure of Starch in Transgenic
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN A soluble starch synthase I gene, IbSSI, alters the content, composition, granule size and Received: 23 January 2017 Accepted: 11 April 2017 structure of starch in transgenic Published: xx xx xxxx sweet potato Yannan Wang, Yan Li, Huan Zhang, Hong Zhai, Qingchang Liu & Shaozhen He Soluble starch synthase I (SSI) is a key enzyme in the biosynthesis of plant amylopectin. In this study, the gene named IbSSI, was cloned from sweet potato, an important starch crop. A high expression level of IbSSI was detected in the leaves and storage roots of the sweet potato. Its overexpression significantly increased the content and granule size of starch and the proportion of amylopectin by up- regulating starch biosynthetic genes in the transgenic plants compared with wild-type plants (WT) and RNA interference plants. The frequency of chains with degree of polymerization (DP) 5–8 decreased in the amylopectin fraction of starch, whereas the proportion of chains with DP 9–25 increased in the IbSSI-overexpressing plants compared with WT plants. Further analysis demonstrated that IbSSI was responsible for the synthesis of chains with DP ranging from 9 to 17, which represents a different chain length spectrum in vivo from its counterparts in rice and wheat. These findings suggest that theIbSSI gene plays important roles in determining the content, composition, granule size and structure of starch in sweet potato. This gene may be utilized to improve the content and quality of starch in sweet potato and other plants. In plants, starch consists of amylose and amylopectin. Amylose mainly comprises linear chains that are linked by α-1, 4 O-glycosidic bonds, whereas amylopectin is highly branched and contains 5–6% α-1,6 O-glycosidic bonds to generate glucan branches of various lengths1.

As a by-product of pea protein processing, current uses for pea starch are limited to low-value, commodity markets. The globally growing demand for pea protein poses a great challenge for the pea fractionation industry to develop new markets for starch valorization. However, there exist gaps in our understanding of the genetic mechanism underlying starch metabolism, and its relationship with physicochemical and functional properties, which is a prerequisite for targeted tailoring functionality and innovative applications of starch. This review Citation: Yu, B.; Xiang, D.; outlines the understanding of starch metabolism with a particular focus on peas and highlights Mahfuz, H.; Patterson, N.; Bing, D. the knowledge of pea starch granule structure and its relationship with functional properties, and Understanding Starch Metabolism in industrial applications.

An ADI "not specified" was established at the 68th JECFA (2007). SYNONYMS Debranching enzyme; α-1,6-glucan hydrolase SOURCES Isoamylase is produced by submerged fed-batch pure culture fermentation of Pseudomonas amyloderamosa. The enzyme is isolated from the fermentation broth by filtration to remove the biomass and concentrated by ultrafiltration. The final product is formulated using food-grade stabilizing and preserving agents. Active principles Isoamylase Systematic names and Glycogen α-1,6-glucanohydrolase; EC 3.2.1.68; CAS No. 9067-73-6 numbers Reactions catalysed Hydrolysis of α-1,6-D-glucosidic linkages in glycogen, amylopectin and their β-limit dextrins.

GENERAL Must conform to the latest edition of the JECFA General SPECIFICATIONS Specifications and Considerations for Enzyme Preparations Used in Food Processing. CHARACTERISTICS IDENTIFICATION Isoamylase activity The sample shows isoamylase activity. See description under TESTS. TESTS Isoamylase activity Principle Isoamylase activity is determined by incubating the enzyme with soluble waxy corn starch as a substrate in the presence of iodine for 30 min under standard conditions (pH=3.5; 40.0±0.1o) and measuring absorbance of the reaction mixture at 610 nm. The change in absorbance represents the degree of hydrolysis of the substrate. Isoamylase activity is calculated in isoamylase activity units (IAU) per gram of the enzyme preparation.

  • Extra-Cellular Isoamylase Production by Rhizopus Oryzae in Solid-State Fermentation of Agro Wastes
    867 Vol.54, n. 5: pp. 867-876, September-October 2011 BRAZILIAN ARCHIVES OF ISSN 1516-8913 Printed in Brazil BIOLOGY AND TECHNOLOGY AN INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL Extra-cellular Isoamylase Production by Rhizopus oryzae in Solid-State Fermentation of Agro Wastes Barnita Ghosh and Rina Rani Ray * Microbiology Laboratory; Department of Zoology; Molecular Biology and Genetics; Presidency University; Kolkata, 700 073, India ABSTRACT Extra-cellular isoamylase was produced by Rhizopus oryzae PR7 in solid-state fermentations of various agro wastes, among which millet, oat, tapioca, and arum (Colocasia esculenta ) showed promising results. The highest amount of enzyme production was obtained after 72 h of growth at 28°C. The optimum pH for enzyme production was - 8.0. Among the various additives tested, enzyme production increased with ions such as Ca 2+ , Mg 2+ and also with cysteine, GSH, and DTT. The enzyme synthesis was reduced in the presence of thiol inhibitors like Cu 2+ and pCMB. The surfactants like Tween-40, Tween-80 and Triton X-100 helped in enhancing the enzyme activity. The production could be further increased by using the combinations of substrates. The ability to produce high amount of isoamylase within a relatively very short period and the capability of degrading wastes could make the strain suitable for commercial production of the enzyme. Key words: Isoamylase, Rhizopus oryzae , SSF, waste utilization INTRODUCTION products, less effluent generation, requirement for simple fermentation equipments and cost Enzymes are among the most important products effectiveness. Actually, SSF process takes place in obtained for human needs through microbial the absence and near absence of free water, thus sources.

Recombinant Ec Iso13A (CBM48-GH13), purified Substrate specificity from Escherichia coli , is a modular family 13 Glycoside Hydrolase (GH13) with N-terminal family 48 Carbohydrate Binding Module Ec Iso13A (CBM48-GH13) hydrolyses α-1,6-glycosidic linkages of (CBM48) (www.cazy.org). The enzyme is provided in 35 mM phosphorylase-limit dextrins. NaHepes buffer, pH 7.5, 750 mM NaCl, 200 mM imidazol, 3.5 mM CaCl 2 and 25% (v/v) glycerol, at a 0,25 mg/mL concentration. Bulk quantities of this product are available on request. Temperature and pH optima The pH optimum for enzymatic activity is 5 while temperature optimum is 37 °C. Electrophoretic Purity Ec Iso13A (CBM48-GH13) purity was determined by sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) Enzyme activity followed by BlueSafe staining (MB15201) (Figure 1). Substrate specificity and kinetic properties of Ec Iso13A (CBM48- GH13) are described in the reference provided below. Follow the instructions described in the paper for the implementation of enzyme assays and to obtain values of specific activity. To measure catalytic activity of GHs, quantify reducing sugars released from polysaccharides through the method described by Miller (1959; Anal. Chem.
