Summary

YcjM and an enzyme from Meiothermus silvanus both belong to the same subfamily of the GH13_18 family of phosphorylases. The purified M. silvanus enzyme as well as overexpressed, but unpurified YcjM are able to catalyze synthesis of glucosylglycerol from glucose-1-phosphate and glycerol. YcjM showed no activity with sucrose and many other potential acceptor substrates [Franceus17]. Glucosylglycerate phosphorylase activity was later shown for purified YcjM; the enzyme is specific for α-(1,2)-D-glucose-D-glycerate [Mukherjee18].
