Porcine pancreatic alpha amylase (PPA) and Bacillus amyloliquefaciens alpha amylase (BAA) were allowed to react with starch granules from maize, waxy maize, amylomaize-7, and potato in an aqueous suspension with a starch to water ratio of 1:10 and in a minimum of water with a starch to water ratio of 1:1. Quantitative amounts of the maltodextrin products were determined by TLC and scanning densitometry. The two alpha amylases gave different products that were characteristic of their unique action patterns. The percent conversion differed for the different kinds of starches and for the two kinds of reaction conditions. Maize and waxy maize starches were converted into about twice as much maltodextrins than were amylomaize-7 and potato starches by both enzymes and under both reaction conditions. The aqueous suspension gave much greater conversion into maltodextrins than did the minimum water condition. BAA gave 3-14% greater conversion of the granules into maltodextrins than did PPA, with the exception of potato starch. 相似文献

Background
Native starch accumulates as granules containing two glucose polymers: amylose and amylopectin. Phosphate (0.2–0.5%) and proteins (0.1–0.7%) are also present in some starches. Phosphate groups play a major role in starch metabolism while granule-bound starch synthase 1 (GBSS1) which represents up to 95% of the proteins bound to the granule is responsible for amylose biosynthesis.Methods
Synchrotron micro-X-ray fluorescence (μXRF) was used for the first time for high-resolution mapping of GBSS1 and phosphate groups based on the XRF signal of sulfur (S) and phosphorus (P), respectively. Wild-type starches were studied as well as their related mutants lacking GBSS1 or starch-phosphorylating enzyme.Results
Wild-type potato and maize starch exhibited high level of phosphorylation and high content of sulfur respectively when compared to mutant potato starch lacking glucan water dikinase (GWD) and mutant maize starch lacking GBSS1. Phosphate groups are mostly present at the periphery of wild-type potato starch granules, and spread all over the granule in the amylose-free mutant. P and S XRF were also measured within single small starch granules from Arabidopsis or Chlamydomonas not exceeding 3–5 μm in diameter.Conclusions
Imaging GBSS1 (by S mapping) in potato starch sections showed that the antisense technique suppresses the expression of GBSS1 during biosynthesis. P mapping confirmed that amylose is mostly present in the center of the granule, which had been suggested before.General significance
μXRF is a potentially powerful technique to analyze the minor constituents of starch and understand starch structure/properties or biosynthesis by the use of selected genetic backgrounds. 相似文献3.

Potato and waxy-maize starches were separately modified for 1 h at 65° with 0.36% hydrochloric acid in methanol, ethanol, 2-propanol, and 1-butanol. All of the modified starches were readily soluble in hot water, to give crystal-clear solutions up to a concentration of at least 20% (w/v). The modified granules were studied by light-microscopy and iodine-iodide staining. All of the modified starches retained their granule appearance, although with various degrees of damage that progressively increased from methanol to 1-butanol. Both hydrolysis and alcoholysis occurred, but to different extents in the different alcohols. The highest proportion of alcoholysis occurred in methanol where 50% of the resulting molecules were glycosides, the lowest in 1-butanol where 6% were glycosides. The number-average molecular weights of the modified starches also progressively decreased from 126,670 for the methanol-modified waxy-maize starch to 4,750 for the 1-butanol-modified potato starch. The methanol- and ethanol-modified potato starches were fractionated into amylose and amylopectin components. The 2-propanol- and 1-butanol-modified potato starches gave only an amylopectin component. The amylose components were characterized by gel-permeation chromatography on Bio-Gel A-5m, and the amylopectin components, on Bio-Gels A-150m and A-0.5m. The molecular sizes of the amylose and amylopectin components progressively decreased from methanol- to 1-butanol-modified starches. Furthermore, the polymodal composition of the amylopectin component was decreased to give a more homogeneous product. Waxy-maize starch was modified in methanol and 2-propanol and gave products that were of lower molecular size and more homogeneous than the polymodal native starch. It is shown that the differential effect of the different alcohols on the modification of the starch granules is produced by effecting different concentrations of acid inside the granule, where hydrolysis occurs in the 10–12% of water contained in the granule. It is postulated that 2-propanol and 1-butanol dissolve the double-helical, crystalline regions in the starch granule to give different types of products under otherwise identical conditions of modification. 相似文献

Antibodies were used to probe the degree of association of starch biosynthetic enzymes with starch granules isolated from maize (Zea mays) endosperm. Graded washings of the starch granule, followed by release of polypeptides by gelatinization in 2% sodium dodecyl sulfate, enables distinction between strongly and loosely adherent proteins. Mild aqueous washing of granules resulted in near-complete solubilization of ADP-glucose pyrophosphorylase, indicating that little, if any, ADP-glucose pyrophosphorylase is granule associated. In contrast, all of the waxy protein plus significant levels of starch synthase I and starch branching enzyme II (BEII) remained granule associated. Stringent washings using protease and detergent demonstrated that the waxy protein, more than 85% total endosperm starch synthase I protein, and more than 45% of BEII protein were strongly associated with starch granules. Rates of polypeptide accumulation within starch granules remained constant during endosperm development. Soluble and granule-derived forms of BEII yielded identical peptide maps and overlapping tryptic fragments closely aligned with deduced amino acid sequences from BEII cDNA clones. These observations provide direct evidence that BEII exits as both soluble and granule-associated entities. We conclude that each of the known starch biosynthetic enzymes in maize endosperm exhibits a differential propensity to associate with, or to become irreversibly entrapped within, the starch granule. 相似文献

Microbial starch-binding domains as a tool for targeting proteins to granules during starch biosynthesis 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
Modification of starch biosynthesis pathways holds an enormous potential for tailoring granules or polymers with new functionalities. In this study, we explored the possibility of engineering artificial granule-bound proteins, which can be incorporated in the granule during biosynthesis. The starch-binding domain (SBD)-encoding region of cyclodextrin glycosyltransferase from Bacillus circulans was fused to the sequence encoding the transit peptide (amyloplast entry) of potato granule-bound starch synthase I (GBSS I). The synthetic gene was expressed in the tubers of two potato cultivars (cv. Kardal and cv. Karnico) and one amylose-free (amf) potato mutant. SBDs accumulated inside starch granules, not at the granule surface. Amylose-free granules contained 8 times more SBD (estimated at ca. 1.6% of dry weight) than the amylose-containing ones. No consistent differences in physicochemical properties between transgenic SBD starches and their corresponding controls were found, suggesting that SBD can be used as an anchor for effector proteins without having side-effects. To test this, a construct harbouring the GBSS I transit peptide, the luciferase reporter gene, a PT-linker, and the SBD (in frame), and a similar construct without the linker and the SBD, were introduced in cv. Kardal. The fusion protein accumulated in starch granules (with retainment of luciferase activity), whereas the luciferase alone did not. Our results demonstrate that SBD technology can be developed into a true platform technology, in which SBDs can be fused to a large choice of effector proteins to generate potato starches with new or improved functionalities. 相似文献

Starches from waxy maize and potato were treated in methanol and 2-propanol either with or without 0.36% hydrochloric acid at 65 °C for 1 h. The granule morphology, molecular structure and pasting properties of the starches were determined and the effects of treatments on the granule and molecular structures of starch were investigated. Starch treated in alcohols without acid showed loss of native order through the hilum of granules, and no obvious molecular degradation was found. However, acid–alcohol treated starch showed many cracks inside granules, and both waxy maize and potato starches showed obvious molecular degradation after treated. Furthermore, the amylose chains and long chains of amylopectin of starch were more easily degraded with acid–alcohol treatment. The pasting viscosity of acid–alcohol treated starches were also obviously less than that of their counterpart native starch and starch after alcohol treatment. The extent of degradation of molecules and the decrease of pasting viscosity on potato starch after acid–alcohol treated were more obvious than that of waxy maize starch. The result indicates that the degradation preferentially occur in the amorphous region when starch treated by acid–alcohol, and the degradation of starch molecules enhances the amorphous excretion and the occurrence of cracks inside the granules. 相似文献

Microscopic examination of starch granules in 90:10 (v/v) Me(2)SO-H(2)O indicated that the granules were slowly being gelatinized from their surfaces. The rate of gelatinization was dependent on two variables: (1) the amount of water in Me(2)SO and (2) the temperature. An increase of water in Me(2)SO and/or an increase in temperature increased the rate of gelatinization and vice versa. Specific ratios of Me(2)SO and H(2)O (85:15-95:5) and temperatures (0-15 degrees C) were found to give controlled sequential peeling/gelatinization of eight kinds of starch granules in 1-12h, with amounts of 10-25% gelatinization per hour. It was observed that the percent of starch granule remaining versus time gave curves that were linear and others that had linear parts separated by one or more abrupt changes. No two starches had a similar gelatinization curve for the same two conditions of the amount of water and the temperature. It is hypothesized that these curves reflect different structural characteristics for the individual kinds of starch granules. 相似文献

In maize, three isoforms of starch-branching enzyme, SBEI, SBEIIa, and SBEIIb, are encoded by the Sbe1a, Sbe2a, and Amylose extender (Ae) genes, respectively. The objective of this research was to explore the effects of null mutations in the Sbe1a and Ae genes alone and in combination in wx background on kernel characteristics and on the morphology and physical behavior of endosperm starch granules. Differences in kernel morphology and weight, starch accumulation, starch granule size and size distribution, starch microstructure, and thermal properties were observed between the ae wx and sbe1a ae wx plants but not between the sbe1a wx mutants when compared to wx. Starch from sbe1a ae wx plants exhibited a larger granule size with a wider gelatinization temperature range and a lower endotherm enthalpy than ae wx. Microscopy shows weaker iodine staining in sbe1a ae wx starch granules. X-ray diffraction revealed A-type crystallinity in wx and sbe1a wx starches and B-type in sbe1a ae wx and ae wx. This study suggests that, while the SBEIIb isoform plays a dominant role in maize endosperm starch synthesis, SBEI also plays a role, which is only observable in the presence of the ae mutation. 相似文献

Waxy maize starch (100% amylopectin) granules were modified by reaction of the granules with glucoamylase in a minimum amount of water to give 29% (w/w) d-glucose inside the granules [Kim, Y.-K.; Robyt, J. F. Carbohydr. Res.1999, 318, 129−134]. These granules were made into beads by dropping an ethanol slurry of starch and different amounts of Eudragit L100-55 in a constant ratio of 100:1 from a pipette onto Whatman 3MM filter paper. The starch beads were air dried and then repeatedly sprayed 0-12 times with 2.0% (w/v) Eudragit L100-55 in ethanol, with drying between each spraying, to coat the surface of the starch beads, giving different amounts of Eudragit L100-55 coating. Seven different kinds of beads, with different amounts of Eudragit L100-55 binding and coating agent, were obtained. The rates of release of d-glucose into water from the seven kinds of beads were inversely proportional to the amount of binding and coating agent. Bead type I, which was without any binding and coating gave a fast 100% release of d-glucose in 30 min. Beads II and III also gave a fast 100% release in 60 min and 90 min, respectively. Bead IV gave a near linear release of 97% d-glucose in 150 min; Bead V gave a 50% release in 120 min followed by the remaining 50% in 60 min; and Beads VI and VII gave a slow release of 10% and 4%, respectively, from 0 to 120 min, followed by a rapid 100% release from 120 to 180 min. 相似文献

Cyclodextrins (CDs) are cyclic oligosaccharides of wide industrial application, whose synthesis is catalyzed by Cyclodextrin glycosyltransferase (CGTase) from starch. Here, CDs were produced using CGTase from Bacillus circulans DF 9R in continuous process and an ultrafiltration membrane reactor. The batch process was conducted as a control. This method allowed increasing the yield from 40 to 55.6% and the productivity from 26.1 to 99.5 mg of CD per unit of enzyme. The method also allowed obtaining a high‐purity product. The flow rate remained at 50% of its initial value after 24 h of process, improving the results described in the literature for starch hydrolysis processes. CGTase remained active throughout the process, which could be explained by the protective effect of the substrate and reaction products on CGTase stability. In addition, batch processes were developed using starches from different sources. We concluded that any of the starches studied could be used as substrate for CD production with similar yields and product specificity. © 2015 American Institute of Chemical Engineers Biotechnol.

Succinylation of cyclodextrin glycosyltransferase from Thermoanaerobacter sp. 501 enhances its transferase activity using starch as donor 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Alcalde M Plou FJ Teresa Martín M Valdés I Méndez E Ballesteros A 《Journal of biotechnology》2001,86(1):71-80
A simple modification procedure, the succinylation of amino groups, was suitable to increase the transferase (disproportionation) activity of cyclodextrin glycosyltransferase (CGTase) from Thermoanaerobacter sp. 501 using different linear oligosaccharides as acceptors. On the contrary, the synthesis of cyclodextrins (CDs), the coupling of CDs with oligosaccharides, and the hydrolysis of starch decreased after chemical modification. The degree of succinylation of amino groups (45%) was accurately determined by MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry. The formation of CDs under industrial conditions was analyzed for native and succinylated CGTases, showing similar selectivity to alpha-, beta-, gamma-CD. The acceptor reaction with D-glucose using soluble starch as glucosyl donor was studied at 60 degrees C and pH 5.5. Malto-oligosaccharides (MOS) production was notably higher using the semisynthetic enzyme at different ratios (w/w) starch:D-glucose. Thus, more than 90% of the initial starch was converted into MOS (G2-G7) in 48 h employing a ratio donor:acceptor 1:2 (w/w). 相似文献

It has been shown previously that mutan can be co-synthesized with starch when a truncated mutansucrase (GtfICAT) is directed
to potato tuber amyloplasts. The mutan seemed to adhere to the isolated starch granules, but it was not incorporated in the
starch granules. In this study, GtfICAT was fused to the N- or C-terminus of a starch-binding domain (SBD). These constructs were introduced into two genetically
different potato backgrounds (cv. Kardal and amf), in order to bring GtfICAT in more intimate contact with growing starch granules, and to facilitate the incorporation of
mutan polymers in starch. Fusion proteins of the appropriate size were evidenced in starch granules, particularly in the amf background. The starches from the various GtfICAT/SBD transformants seemed to contain less mutan than those from transformants
with GtfICAT alone, suggesting that the appended SBD might inhibit the activity of GtfICAT in the engineered fusion proteins.
Scanning electron microscopy showed that expression of SBD-GtfICAT resulted in alterations of granule morphology in both genetic
backgrounds. Surprisingly, the amf starches containing SBD-GtfICAT had a spongeous appearance, i.e., the granule surface contained many small holes and grooves,
suggesting that this fusion protein can interfere with the lateral interactions of amylopectin sidechains. No differences
in physico-chemical properties of the transgenic starches were observed. Our results show that expression of granule-bound
and “soluble” GtfICAT can affect starch biosynthesis differently. 相似文献

In this work, the chayote tuber starch (CHS) was isolated and its chemical composition and its physical and microscopic characteristics were determined, and compared with potato (PS) and maize (MS) starches. The starch content in chayote tubers (728 g kg−1 dry weight) was similar to potato tubers (700 g kg−1 dry weight), with a high level of purity (>98%), while its phosphorous content was higher (0.15%) than PS (0.08%) and MS (0.01%). Starch granules were oval, irregular, truncated and rounded with sizes between 7 and 50 μm with smooth surfaces. CHS dispersions (1% and 4%, w/w) showed higher viscosity (75 and 1715 mPa s), than PS (350% and 50% lower) and MS (715% and 600% lower). The gelatinization temperature (65 to 74 °C) was similar in CHS and PS. The pasting properties (RVA) of the starches suggest that CHS showed better characteristics than the commercial potato and maize starches. Therefore, CHS could be used as a thickening agent and a substitute to PS in food dispersions where a high viscosity is needed. 相似文献

Porcine pancreatic alpha-amylase hydrolysis of native starch granules as a function of granule surface area 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Porcine pancreatic alpha-amylase activity on native starch granules is more accurately described as a function of surface area of the granules rather than of substrate concentration. The apparent K(m) of alpha-amylolysis of native starch from potato, maize, and rice expressed as a function of substrate concentration was largest for potato with a single value of V(max). However, the ratio of the slope of a Lineweaver-Burk plot to that of rice for enzymatic hydrolysis of native potato and maize starch were 7.78 and 2.58, respectively, which were very close to the ratio of surface area per mass of the two starch granules to that of rice. Therefore, the reciprocal of initial velocity was a linear function of the reciprocal of surface area for each starch granule. Surface area was calculated assuming the starch granules were spherical. The values obtained by this calculation were in good agreement with the value obtained by the photomicrographic method. By comparing enzymatic digestion of native maize granules to that of rice granules, it was concluded that the presence of pores in maize granules appeared to significantly affect overall rate of digestion after sufficient reaction time, but not at the very initial stage of hydrolysis. 相似文献

Kinetic analysis of glucoamylase-catalyzed hydrolysis of starch granules from various botanical sources 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
The kinetics of glucoamylase-catalyzed hydrolysis of starch granules from six different botanical sources (rice, wheat, maize, cassava, sweet potato, and potato) was studied by the use of an electrochemical glucose sensor. A higher rate of hydrolysis was obtained as a smaller size of starch granules was used. The adsorbed amount of glucoamylase on the granule surface per unit area did not vary very much with the type of starch granules examined, while the catalytic constants of the adsorbed enzyme (k(0)) were determined to be 23.3+/-4.4, 14.8+/-6.0, 6.2+/-1.8, 7.1+/-4.1, 4.6+/-3.0, and 1.6+/-0.6 s(-1) for rice, wheat, maize, cassava, sweet potato, and potato respectively, showing that k(0) was largely influenced by the type of starch granules. A comparison of the k(0)-values in relation to the crystalline structure of the starch granules suggested that k(0) increases as the crystalline structure becomes dense. 相似文献

The distribution pattern of substituents within the granules and the components of two cationised and two oxidised potato starches was studied. The level of crystallinity in wet-cationised (WC) and hypochlorite oxidised (HO) starch granules was similar to that of native starch granules but lower in dry-cationised (DC) and peroxide oxidised (PO) granules. However, the melting temperature of DC granules remained similar to native granules but was decreased in the other samples. With all modified starches, the initial rate of acid hydrolysis (lintnerisation) was increased compared to native granules. The degree of substitution decreased only slightly in WC granules after the lintnerisation, whereas virtually all the substituted glucosyl units in DC starch were hydrolysed already at initial stages. The decrease of substituents in the HO and PO starches was intermediate. The starches were partly resistant to the action of isoamylase and the successive beta-amylolysis, suggesting that substituents were found both close to the branches and near the nonreducing ends in the amylopectin component. It is suggested that the DC starch was preferentially cationised at the surface of the granules, whereas WC and oxidised starches were modified throughout the granules. 相似文献

Four varieties of starch granules from potato, wheat, maize, and rice were fractionated into homogeneous 10-μm-sized ranges. The size with the largest amount of granules was reacted with ADP-[14C]Glc, washed, and peeled into 7−9 layers, using a controlled peeling process, involving 90:10 volume proportions of Me2SO-H2O at 10 °C. All of the starches showed biosynthesis of starch throughout the granules. Starch synthase activities were determined for each of the layers. Three of the starches had a relatively large amount of synthase activity in the second layer, with only a small amount in the first layer. Potato starch had the largest amount of activity in the first layer. Starch synthase activity was found to alternate between higher and lower activities throughout all of the varieties of granules, showing that the synthesis was not uniform and also was not exclusively occurring at the surface of the starch granules, which had previously been hypothesized. From these results and our previous studies on the mechanism of starch chain elongation by the addition of d-glucose to the reducing end of a growing chain that is covalently attached to the active site of starch synthase, a hypothesis is proposed for how starch granules grow in vivo. 相似文献

The effects of starch granules on the rheological behaviour of gels of native potato and high amylopectin potato (HAPP) starches have been studied with small deformation oscillatory rheometry. The influence of granule remnants on the rheological properties of samples treated at 90 °C was evident when compared with samples treated at 140 °C, where no granule remnants were found. The presence of amylose in native potato starch gave to stronger network formation since potato starch gave higher moduli values than HAPP, after both 90 and 140 °C treatments. In addition, amylose may have strengthened the network of HAPP because higher moduli values were obtained when native potato starch was added to the system. The moduli values of the mixtures also increased with increasing polysaccharide concentration in the system, which is due to an increment in the polysaccharide chain contacts and entanglements. Finally, it was found that a mixture of commercial amylose from potato starch and HAPP resulted in lower values of G′ compared to native potato starch. This indicates that the source of amylose is important for the properties in a blend with native amylopectin. 相似文献

D-[14C]glucose was incorporated into starch when 12 varieties of starch granules were incubated with [14C]sucrose. Digestion of the 14C-labeled starches with porcine pancreatic alpha amylase showed that a high percentage (16.1-84.1%) of the synthesized starch gave a relatively high molecular weight alpha-limit dextrin. Hydrolysis of the 12 varieties of starch granules by alpha amylase, without sucrose treatment, also gave an alpha-limit dextrin, ranging in amounts from 0.51% (w/w) for amylomaize-7 starch to 8.47% (w/w) for rice starch. These alpha-limit dextrins had relatively high molecular weights, 2.47 kDa for amylomaize-7 starch to 5.75 kDa for waxy maize starch, and a high degree of alpha-(1-->6) branching, ranging from 15.6% for rice starch to 41.1% for shoti starch. ADPGlc and UDPGlc did not synthesize a significant amount (1-2%) of the branched component, suggesting that sucrose is the probable substrate for the in vivo synthesis of the component and that sucrose is not first converted into a nucleotide-glucose diphosphate intermediate. 相似文献
