A novel alpha-d-galactosynthase from Thermotoga maritima converts beta-d-galactopyranosyl azide to alpha-galacto-oligosaccharides
GLYCOBIOLOGY, 21(4), 448–456.
author keywords: alpha-galacto-oligosaccharides; glycosynthase; alpha-gal epitope; carbohydrate synthesis; protein engineering
MeSH headings : Aspartic Acid / chemistry; Azides / chemistry; Chromatography, Thin Layer; Disaccharides / biosynthesis; Galactose / metabolism; Glycine / chemistry; Kinetics; Mutagenesis, Site-Directed; Mutant Proteins / chemistry; Mutant Proteins / genetics; Mutant Proteins / metabolism; Protein Engineering; Thermotoga maritima / enzymology; alpha-Galactosidase / chemistry; alpha-Galactosidase / genetics; alpha-Galactosidase / metabolism

2007 journal article
Functional-genomics-based identification and characterization of open reading frames encoding alpha-glucoside-processing enzymes in the hyperthermophilic archaeon Pyrococcus furiosus
APPLIED AND ENVIRONMENTAL MICROBIOLOGY, 74(4), 1281–1283.
MeSH headings : Computational Biology; Gene Expression Regulation, Bacterial / genetics; Genomics / methods; Open Reading Frames / genetics; Pyrococcus furiosus / enzymology; Pyrococcus furiosus / genetics; alpha-Glucosidases / genetics; beta-Amylase / genetics
TL;DR:
Bioinformatics analysis and transcriptional response information for Pyrococcus furiosus led to the identification of a novel isomaltase representing a new glycoside hydrolase family, a novel GH57 β-amylase, and an extracellular starch-binding protein.

2007 journal article
Rheological properties of guar galactomannan solutions during hydrolysis with galactomannanase and alpha-galactosidase enzyme mixtures
BIOMACROMOLECULES, 8(3), 949–956.
MeSH headings : Carbohydrate Conformation; Galactans / metabolism; Galactose / analogs & derivatives; Hydrogen-Ion Concentration; Hydrolysis; Kinetics; Mannans / chemistry; Mannans / metabolism; Mannose / chemistry; Mannosidases / chemistry; Models, Chemical; Models, Statistical; Plant Gums / metabolism; Polysaccharides / chemistry; Rheology / methods; Time Factors; alpha-Galactosidase / chemistry
TL;DR:
A rheology-based kinetic model is developed to estimate the reaction rate constants and interpret synergistic effects of multiple enzyme contributions and reveals that both the native and the debranched guar have the same activation energy for beta-mannanase action, although debranching considerably increases the frequency of enzyme-guar interactions.

Transcriptional and biochemical analysis of starch metabolism in the hyperthermophilic archaeon Pyrococcus furiosus
JOURNAL OF BACTERIOLOGY, 188(6), 2115–2125.
MeSH headings : Archaeal Proteins / genetics; Bacterial Proteins / genetics; DNA, Archaeal / chemistry; DNA, Archaeal / genetics; Gene Expression Profiling; Gene Expression Regulation, Archaeal; Glucose / metabolism; Glucosephosphates / metabolism; Glucosyltransferases / genetics; Glycogen Debranching Enzyme System / genetics; Glycoside Hydrolases / genetics; Monosaccharide Transport Proteins / genetics; Oligonucleotide Array Sequence Analysis; Pyrococcus furiosus / genetics; Pyrococcus furiosus / metabolism; Sequence Analysis, DNA; Starch / metabolism; Substrate Specificity
TL;DR:
Starch metabolism in P. furiosus was examined by biochemical analyses in conjunction with global transcriptional response data for cells grown on a variety of glucans, and several hypothetical proteins encoded by three gene clusters are also involved in the transport and processing of alpha-glucan substrates by this organism.

An expression-driven approach to the prediction of carbohydrate transport and utilization regulons in the hyperthermophilic bacterium Thermotoga maritima
JOURNAL OF BACTERIOLOGY, 187(21), 7267–7282.
MeSH headings : 5' Flanking Region / genetics; ATP-Binding Cassette Transporters / chemistry; ATP-Binding Cassette Transporters / genetics; Biological Evolution; Biological Transport / genetics; Carbohydrate Metabolism; Computational Biology; Gene Duplication; Gene Expression Profiling; Genes, Bacterial; Genes, Regulator; Genomics; Monosaccharide Transport Proteins / genetics; Nucleic Acid Conformation; Oligosaccharides / metabolism; Pentose Phosphate Pathway / genetics; Regulon / physiology; Rhamnose / metabolism; Thermotoga maritima / genetics; Thermotoga maritima / metabolism; Xylose / metabolism
