Abstract excerpt

Trehalose (alpha,alpha-1,1-glucosyl-glucose) is essential for the growth of mycobacteria, and these organisms have three different pathways that can produce trehalose. One pathway involves the enzyme described in the present study, trehalose synthase (TreS), which interconverts trehalose and maltose. We show that TreS from Mycobacterium smegmatis, as well as recombinant TreS produced in Escherichia coli, has...
