Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Reactions are disclosed herein comprising water, alpha-glucose-1-phosphate (alpha-G1P), an acceptor molecule, and an alpha-1,4-glucan phosphorylase. Novel alpha-1,4-glucan phosphorylase enzymes are also disclosed. Additional disclosures herein regard sucrose phosphorylase enzymes and methods of use thereof to produce alpha-G1P.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. An isolated composition comprising: (i) an isolated sucrose phosphorylase that comprises an amino acid sequence that is at least 90% identical to SEQ ID NO:10, SEQ ID NO:12, SEQ ID NO:14, or SEQ ID NO:22, and (ii) an isolated alpha-1,4-glucan phosphorylase that comprises an amino acid sequence that is at least 90% identical to SEQ ID NO:26, SEQ ID NO:28, SEQ ID NO:30, SEQ ID NO:32, SEQ ID NO:34, SEQ ID NO:36, SEQ ID NO:38, SEQ ID NO:40, SEQ ID NO:42, SEQ ID NO:44, SEQ ID NO:46, SEQ ID NO:48, SEQ ID NO:50, or SEQ ID NO:54. 2. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the sucrose phosphorylase comprises an amino acid sequence that is at least 95% identical to SEQ ID NO:10, SEQ ID NO:12, SEQ ID NO:14, or SEQ ID NO:22. 3. The composition of claim 2 , wherein the sucrose phosphorylase comprises an amino acid sequence that is at least 97% identical to SEQ ID NO:10, SEQ ID NO:12, SEQ ID NO:14, or SEQ ID NO:22. 4. The composition of claim 3 , wherein the sucrose phosphorylase comprises an amino acid sequence that is at least 98% identical to SEQ ID NO:10, SEQ ID NO:12, SEQ ID NO:14, or SEQ ID NO:22. 5. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the composition further comprises at least water, inorganic phosphate, sucrose, and an acceptor molecule, wherein the sucrose phosphorylase produces alpha-glucose-1-phosphate in the composition, and wherein the alpha-1,4-glucan phosphorylase produces alpha-1,4-glucan in the composition. 6. The composition of claim 5 , wherein the sucrose phosphorylase comprises an amino acid sequence that is at least 95% identical to SEQ ID NO:10, SEQ ID NO:12, SEQ ID NO:14, or SEQ ID NO:22. 7. The composition of claim 6 , wherein the sucrose phosphorylase comprises an amino acid sequence that is at least 97% identical to SEQ ID NO:10, SEQ ID NO:12, SEQ ID NO:14, or SEQ ID NO:22. 8. The composition of claim 7 , wherein the sucrose phosphorylase comprises an amino acid sequence that is at least 98% identical to SEQ ID NO:10, SEQ ID NO:12, SEQ ID NO:14, or SEQ ID NO:22. 9. The composition of claim 5 , wherein the acceptor molecule comprises a monosaccharide, disaccharide, or oligosaccharide. 10. The composition of claim 5 , wherein the acceptor molecule comprises alpha-1,4 glycosidic linkages and has a degree of polymerization (DP) of 2 to 35. 11. The composition of claim 5 , wherein the acceptor molecule comprises a polysaccharide. 12. The composition of claim 5 , wherein the alpha-1,4-glucan has at least about 90% alpha-1,4 glycosidic linkages. 13. The composition of claim 12 , wherein the alpha-1,4-glucan has at least about 99% alpha-1,4 glycosidic linkages. 14. The composition of claim 5 , wherein the alpha-1,4-glucan phosphorylase comprises an amino acid sequence that is at least 90% identical to SEQ ID NO:26, SEQ ID NO:30, SEQ ID NO:32, SEQ ID NO:34, SEQ ID NO:38, SEQ ID NO:40, SEQ ID NO:42, SEQ ID NO:44, SEQ ID NO:46, SEQ ID NO:48, or SEQ ID NO:50.
