• Redox Regulation of a Novel Plastid-Targeted β-Amylase of Arabidopsis1[W] (2006, background): “Two types of amylopectin phosphorylating enzymes have been identified, namelya-glucan water dikinase (GWD; Ritte et al., 2002) and phosphoglucan water dikinase (Baunsgaard et al., 2005; Kötting et al., 2005).”
• The Toxoplasma glucan phosphatase TgLaforin utilizes a distinct functional mechanism that can be exploited by therapeutic inhibitors (2022, background): “In plants, the cycle begins with the actions of glucan, water dikinase (GWD) and phosphoglucan, water dikinase (PWD) that use ATP to phosphorylate glucose at the C6- and C3-hydroxyl positions within the glucan, respectively (16, 17).”
• Starch: its metabolism, evolution, and biotechnological modification in plants. (2010, background): “These experiments support the idea that phosphorylation in vivo serves to disrupt the crystalline structure of amylopectin (Figure 2) (113, 169).”
• Starch biosynthesis in developing seeds (2010, background): “…(GWD), E.C. 2.7.9.4, previously designated R1], which phosphorylates glucose residues at the C6 position in amylopectin, probably preparing the polymer for degradation by hydrolytic enzymes (Ritte et al., 2002, 2004; Kötting et al., 2005; Hejazi et al., 2008; Zeeman et al., 2010).”
• The molecular structures of starch components and their contribution to the architecture of starch granules: A comprehensive review (2010, background): “An enzyme, glucan water dikinase (GWD), was found to be responsible for the phosphorylation of amylopectin in potato [166, 167].”
