Enzymatic transglucosylation from maltose to L-ascorbic acid (AA) with mammalian tissue homogenates was determined by a high-performance liquid chromatography method and compared with the reaction catalyzed by alpha-glucosidase from Aspergillus niger. The homogenates of small intestine and kidney had a high transglucosylase activity to form a new type of glucosylated AA, which was associated with alpha-glucosidase activity. The new compound was demonstrated to be an equimolar conjugate of AA and glucose by the spectral and quantitative analyses. In particular, it showed a high stability in a neutral solution and no reducing activity toward cytochrome c and a dye. These properties were very different from those of AA and L-ascorbic acid alpha-glucoside formed with alpha-glucosidase from A. niger, but they were consistent with those of L-ascorbic acid 2-O-phosphate and L-ascorbic acid 2-O-sulfate. Moreover, it exhibited a reducing power associated with AA after mild acid hydrolysis or treatment with rat intestinal alpha-glucosidase. These results indicate that it should be assigned the 2-O-alpha-glucoside structure. Consequently, it is concluded that mammalian alpha-glucosidase is able to form a very stable and nonreducing form of glucosylated AA through a specific transglucosylation reaction distinct from that of microbial alpha-glucosidase.
