The tyrosine-bound maltosaccharide, produced by incubation of glycogenin with UDP-glucose, reaches a maximum polymerization degree of 13 glucose units at cessation of the reaction. No exhaustion of the substrate donor occurred at the autoglucosylation end and the full autoglucosylated enzyme continued catalytically active for transglucosylation of the alternative substrate dodecyl-b-maltoside. Even the autoglucosylation cessation once glycogenin acquired the mature maltosaccharide moiety, glycogenin species ranging rM 47 to 200 kDa, isolated from purified proteoglycogen after controlled amylolytic digestion, as well as proteoglycogen, where able to autoglucosylate. It was described that the a-1,4-linked glucoses adopts a left-handed helical structure in maltoheptaose. Such a helical structure adopted by the mature glycogenin-bound maltosaccharide might leave the last incorporated glucose spatially far from the glucosylation site, a restriction which might be overcome by branched-bound a-1,4-glucans. Our work provides the first evidence to date for glycogenin intramolecular autoglucosylation ending by inaccessibility of the built maltosaccharide to the glucosylating site of the enzyme.
