Disease relevance of spl

The genes encoding putative sucrose degrading enzymes, namely, the scrP (sucrose phosphorylase) and the cscA (beta-fructofuranosidase), were cloned from B. longum NCIMB 702259(T) and expressed in Escherichia coli DH5alpha [1].
Cloning and expression of sucrose phosphorylase gene from Bifidobacterium longum in E. coli and characterization of the recombinant enzyme [2].

High impact information on spl

In the cloned DNA fragment, a gene encoding a sucrose phosphorylase (splP) and a partially cloned putative sucrose regulator gene (splR) were identified using the deletion analysis and sequence analysis [2].
