Citation | Journal: J Enzyme Inhib Med Chem / Year: 2026Title: Porcine serum maltase-glucoamylase: structure, kinetics, and inhibition.

MGAM serves as a ...Maltase-glucoamylase (MGAM) is a small-intestinal enzyme comprising two tandem α-glucosidase units, NtMGAM and CtMGAM, each capable of hydrolysing maltodextrins into glucose. MGAM serves as a therapeutic target for managing postprandial hyperglycaemia; comprehensive insights into its full-length three-dimensional structure and inhibitor kinetics remains limited. Here, we demonstrate that the α-glucosidase in porcine serum is comparable to that encoded by the MGAM gene. Using cryo-electron microscopy, we determined the complex structure of serum MGAM with the inhibitor acarviosyl-maltotriose (AC5), which was found to bind exclusively to the active sites of each unit, confirming the presence of independent catalytic sites. AC5 was shown to exhibit mixed-type inhibition towards full-length serum MGAM and competitive inhibition against both recombinant NtMGAM and CtMGAM. The apparent mixed-type inhibition can be more accurately attributed to dual competitive inhibition mechanisms. These findings contribute to the advancement of functional foods and therapeutic interventions for postprandial hyperglycaemia and type 2 diabetes. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
