[Kinetic studies of the (1 linked to 4)-alpha-D-glucopyranosyltransferase reaction catalyzed by cyclodextrin glycosyltransferase, particularly the cyclization with amylose, amylopectin and total starch as substrate].
The time course of the (1 leads to 4)-alpha-D-glucopyranosyltransfer reactions catalyzed by the cyclodextrin glycosyltransferase ((1 leads to 4)-alpha-D-glucan: [(1 leads to 4)-alpha-D-glucopyranosyl]transferase (cyclizing), EC 2.4.1.19, CGT) from Klebsiella pneumoniae was studied with several commercial amyloses, potato starch, and amylopectin, respectively. Amyloses were poor substrates for the cyclization reaction. In the initial phase of the transfer reactions, the CGT catalyzed a rapid shortening of the amylose chains. The rate of this shortening reaction was significantly accelerated by addition of maltooligosaccharides. Maximum rate of cyclohexaamylose formation was reached with amylose chains sufficiently short (less than Glc100) for the cyclization reaction. Cyclohexaamylose was formed with maximum rate from amyloses containing amylopectin impurities in the initial phase of the transfer reactions, suggesting that the non-reducing ends of the outer amylopectin chains serve as acceptors for the disproportionation of the amylose. Accordingly, water-soluble, high-molecular-weight products containing higher percentages of lengthened outer-chains were obtained from potato starch or amylopectin. In the course of the transfer reactions, only traces of smaller maltooligosaccharides were detected chromatographically.
