Preparation and characterization of alpha-D-glucopyranosyl-alpha-acarviosinyl-D-glucopyranose, a novel inhibitor specific for maltose-producing amylase.
A novel inhibitor against maltose-producing alpha-amylase was prepared via stepwise degradation of a high-molecular-weight acarbose (HMWA) using Thermus maltogenic amylase (ThMA). The structure of the purified inhibitor was determined to be alpha-D-glucopyranosyl-alpha-acarviosinyl-D-glucopyranose (GlcAcvGlc) by (13)C NMR and MALDI-TOF/MS. Progress curves of PNPG2 hydrolysis by various amylolytic enzymes, including MGase, ThMA, and CDase I-5, in the presence of acarbose or GlcAcvGlc indicated a slow-binding mode of inhibition. Analytical ultracentrifugation and X-ray crystallography analyses revealed that the presence of GlcAcvGlc increased the dimerization of ThMA. The formation of dimer complexed with GlcAcvGlc might induce a conformational change in ThMA, leading to a two-step inhibition process. The inhibition potency of GlcAcvGlc for MGase, ThMA, and CDase I-5 was 3 orders of magnitude higher than that of acarbose.
