Abstract:The enzymatic hydrolysis of the non-reducing disaccharide trehalose in yeasts is carried out by trehalase, a highly specific α–glucosidase. Two types of such trehalase activity are present in yeasts, and are referred to as neutral and acid enzymes. They are encoded by distinct genes (NTH1 and ATH1, respectively) and exhibit strong differences in their biochemical and physiological properties as well as different subcellular location and regulatory mechanisms. Whereas a single gene ATH1 codes for acid trehalase… Show more
