The group 2 σ factor for RNA polymerase SigE plays important role in regulating central carbon metabolism in cyanobacteria. However, the regulation of SigE for these pathways at a proteome level remains unknown. Using a sigE-deficient strain (ΔsigE) of Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 and quantitative proteomics, we found that SigE depletion induces differential protein expression for sugar catabolic pathways including glycolysis, oxidative pentose phosphate (OPP) pathway, and glycogen catabolism. Two glycogen debranching enzyme homologues Slr1857 and Slr0237 are found differentially expressed in ΔsigE. Glycogen determination indicated that Δslr0237 accumulated glycogen under photomixotrophic condition but was unable to utilize these reserves in the dark, whereas Δslr1857 accumulates and utilizes glycogen in a similar way as the WT strain does in the same condition. These results suggest that Slr0237 plays the major role as the glycogen debranching enzyme in Synechocystis.

Article Synopsis
- The study analyzed the genetic and clinical profiles of 26 patients with glycogen storage disease type III (GSD III), focusing on the effects of different genetic mutations in the AGL gene.
- It found that the most common symptoms included elevated liver enzymes, hepatomegaly, and fasting hypoglycemia, and that liver biopsies revealed significant fibrosis in 83.3% of cases.
- After treatment with uncooked cornstarch for over a year, patients showed improvements in growth, liver size, and metabolic markers, although a subset of cases still experienced clinical issues.

Background & Aims: Glycogenosis type III is a rare autosomal recessive disease caused by a mutation in the AGL gene that results in a deficiency of the glycogen debranching enzyme. This deficiency impairs fasting tolerance and leads to hypoglycemia. While the symptomatology tends to improve with age, pregnancy can trigger a recurrence of hypoglycemia due to increased carbohydrate requirements.

Reuteran is a functional homopolysaccharide comprising major (α1 → 4) and interspersed (α1 → 6) linkages whose properties and functions are directly associated with the structure. In order to enrich the structural variety and application prospects of reuteran, a GtfB-type 4,6-α-glucanotransferase from L24-B (LmGtfB), which can synthesize reuteran with high-content linear (α1 → 6) linkages, was screened. LmGtfB exhibited 4,6-α-glucanotransferase activity against starch or dextrin and can synthesize both linear and branching (α1 → 6) linkages, which offered advantages in terms of source and cost.

Article Synopsis
- Researchers have explored a novel enzyme, LrN1 GtfB, from the GtfB subfamily that modifies pea starch by creating new types of linkages.
- The enzyme increases the amount of specific (α1 → 6) linkages and reduces the molecular weight of the starch, resulting in shorter, low-molecular-weight molecules.
- The modified pea starch exhibits weaker structural properties and lower retrogradation, suggesting valuable applications in creating starch-based products with unique characteristics.
Mitochondrial Dysfunction in Glycogen Storage Disorders (GSDs).

Article Synopsis
- - Glycogen storage disorders (GSDs) are genetic metabolic conditions caused by enzyme defects that affect glycogen metabolism, leading to mitochondrial dysfunction and issues like oxidative stress and impaired cell metabolism.
- - Specific GSD types, such as Pompe disease and Cori disease, demonstrate how enzyme deficiencies lead to glycogen accumulation, which disrupts normal mitochondrial function, causing issues like muscle weakness and liver enlargement.
- - Addressing mitochondrial dysfunction through treatments like antioxidants, enhancing mitochondrial growth, and gene therapy may offer new ways to alleviate symptoms and complications associated with GSDs, including cardiac and cognitive issues.
