| Abstract |
|---|
Glycogen debranching enzyme (GDE) has two enzymatic activities, 4-
-glucanotransferase and amylo-
-1,6-glucosidase. Products with 6-O-
-glucosyl structures formed from phosphorylase limit dextrin by the 4-
-glucanotransferase activity are hydrolyzed to glucose by the amylo-
-1,6-glucosidase activity. Here, we probed the active site of amylo-
-1,6-glucosidase in porcine liver GDE using various 6-O-
-glucosyl-pyridylamino (PA)-maltooligosaccharides, with structures (Glc

1-6)Glc
1-4(Glc
1-4)nGlcPA (GlcPA, 1-deoxy-1-[(2-pyridyl)amino]-D-glucitol residue). Fluorogenic dextrins were prepared from 6-O-
-glucosyl-
-, ß-, or
-cyclodextrin through partial acid hydrolysis, followed by fluorescent tagging of the reducing-end residues of the hydrolysates and separation by gel filtration and reversed-phase HPLC. Porcine liver GDE hydrolyzed dextrins with the structure Glc

1-4Glc to glucose and the corresponding PA-maltooligosaccharides, whereas other dextrins were not hydrolyzed. Thus, substrates must have two glucosyl residues sandwiching the isomaltosyl moiety to be hydrolyzed. The rate of hydrolysis increased as m increased and reached maximum at m = 4. The rates were the highest when n = 1 but did not vary much with changes in n. Of the dextrins examined, Glc

1-4GlcPA (63-O-
-glucosyl-PA-maltoheptaose) was hydrolyzed most rapidly, suggesting that it fits the best in the amylo-
-1,6-glucosidase active site. It is likely that the active site accommodates 62-O-
-glucosyl-maltohexaose and that the interactions of seven glucosyl residues with the active site allow the most rapid hydrolysis of the
-1,6-glucosidic linkage of the isomaltosyl moiety.
