AB  - Benzyl alcohol, a potent anesthetic and bacteriostatic, can be efficiently glucosylated by alpha-glucosidase from Saccharomyces cerevisiae to produce benzyl alcohol alpha-glucoside with a 75% yield. However, while studying the transglucosylation reaction conditions, it was found out that benzyl alcohol is a non-competitive inhibitor of alpha-glucosidase's hydrolytic activity (K-i = 18 mM, toward maltose). Due to its interesting ability to be glycosylated by the enzyme and to inhibit its hydrolytic activity, we proposed a plausible mechanism for the phenolic alpha-glucosydase inhibitor's binding, since the mechanism of inhibition has not yet been elucidated.

AB  - Our investigation of the catalytic properties of Saccharomyces cerevisiae alpha-glucosidase (AGL) using hydroxybenzyl alcohol (HBA) isomers as transglucosylation substrates and their glucosides in hydrolytic reactions demonstrated interesting findings pertaining to the aglycon specificity of this important enzyme. AGL specificity increased from the para(p)- to the ortho(o)-HBA isomer in transglucosylation, whereas such AGL aglycon specificity was not seen in hydrolysis, thus indicating that the second step of the reaction (i.e., binding of the glucosyl acceptor) is rate-determining. To study the influence of substitution pattern on AGL kinetics, we compared AGL specificity, inferred from kinetic constants, for HBA isomers and other aglycon substrates. The demonstrated inhibitory effects of HBA isomers and their corresponding glucosides on AGL-catalyzed hydrolysis of p-nitrophenyl a-glucoside (PNPG) suggest that HBA glucosides act as competitive, whereas HBA isomers are noncompetitive, inhibitors. As such, we postulate that aromatic moieties cannot bind to an active site unless an enzyme-glucosyl complex has already formed, but they can interact with other regions of the enzyme molecule resulting in inhibition.
