Trehalose Degradation

Homo sapiens
Trehalose, also known as mycose or tremalose, is a sugar consisting of two 1-1 alpha bonded glucose molecules. It is produced by some plants, bacteria, fungi and invertebrates, and can be used as a source of energy, such as for flight in insects, and as a survival mechanism to avoid freezing and dehydration. After ingestion in the intestine lumen, trehalose can interact with trehalase, which exists in the brush border of the cells there. In a reaction that also requires a water molecule, it is broken. These are then transported into the epithelial cells along with a sodium ion by a sodium/glucose cotransporter, which can bring glucose up its gradient along with sodium moving down its gradient. Once inside the cell, the glucose can then be transported out of the basolateral membrane by a solute carrier family 2 facilitated glucose transporter. From there, the glucose enters the blood stream, and is transported to liver hepatocytes. Once in the liver, glucokinase can use the energy and phosphate from a molecule of ATP to form glucose-6-phosphate, which then goes on to start the process of glycolysis.

Trehalose Degradation I (Low Osmolarity)

Providencia rustigianii DSM 4541
In E.coli, trehalose can be only synthesized with high osmolarity, and if the osmolarity is low, then the source of trehalose can be only obtained from external via transportation with trehalose PTS permease. However, sugar can be degraded with both low or high osmolarity in E.coli. Glucokinase can phosphorylate free gluocose into glucose-6-phosphate and both glucose-6-phosphate moieties enter glycolysis.
