  1. ncbi New insights on trehalose: a multifunctional molecule
    Alan D Elbein
    Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, Little Rock, AR 72205, USA
    Glycobiology 13:17R-27R. 2003
    ..Recent studies in yeast indicate that the enzymes involved in trehalose synthesis (TPS, TPP) exist together in a complex that is highly regulated at the activity level as well as at the genetic level...
  2. ncbi A novel trehalase from Mycobacterium smegmatis - purification, properties, requirements
    J David Carroll
    Department of Microbiology and Immunology, University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, Little Rock, AR 72205, USA
    FEBS J 274:1701-14. 2007
    ..The enzyme has a pH optimum of 7.1, and is active in various buffers, as long as inorganic phosphate and Mg(2+) are present. Glucose was the only product produced by the trehalase in the presence of either phosphate or arsenate...
  3. ncbi Trehalose synthase converts glycogen to trehalose
    Yuan Tseng Pan
    Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, Little Rock, AR 72205, USA
    FEBS J 275:3408-20. 2008
    ..These data indicate that trehalose and TreS are both involved in the production of glycogen, and that the metabolism of trehalose and glycogen is interconnected...
