title: The stereochemical course of the reaction mechanism of trehalose phosphorylase from Schizophyllum commune.
abstract: Phosphorolysis of alpha,alpha-trehalose catalyzed by trehalose phosphorylase from the basidiomycete Schizophyllum commune proceeds via net retention of anomeric configuration and yields alpha-D-glucose 1-phosphate and alpha-D-glucose as the products. In reverse reaction, only the alpha-anomers of D-glucose 1-phosphate and D-glucose are utilized as glucosyl donor and acceptor, respectively, and give exclusively the alpha,alpha-product. Trehalose phosphorylase converts alpha-D-glucose 1-fluoride and phosphate into alpha-D-glucose 1-phosphate, a reaction requiring the stereospecific protonation of the glucosyl fluoride by a Brønsted acid. The results are discussed with regard to a plausible reaction mechanism of fungal trehalose phosphorylase.
