2.4.1.359 |
| Accepted name: |
glucosylglycerol phosphorylase (configuration-retaining) |
| Reaction: |
2-O-α-D-glucopyranosyl-glycerol + phosphate = α-D-glucose 1-phosphate + glycerol |
| Other name(s): |
2-O-α-D-glucosylglycerol phosphorylase (retaining) |
| Systematic name: |
2-O-α-D-glucopyranosyl-glycerol:phosphate α-D-glucosyltransferase (configuration-retaining) |
| Comments: |
The enzyme, characterized from the halotolerant bacterium Marinobacter adhaerens, is likely responsible for degradation of the compatible solute 2-O-α-D-glucopyranosyl-glycerol when the environmental salt concentration decreases. cf. EC 2.4.1.332, 1,2-α-glucosylglycerol phosphorylase. |
