Function
TREA_ECOLI Provides the cells with the ability to utilize trehalose at high osmolarity by splitting it into glucose molecules that can subsequently be taken up by the phosphotransferase-mediated uptake system.[HAMAP-Rule:MF_01060]

Publication Abstract from PubMed
Two novel casuarine-6-alpha-D-glucoside analogues, as well as the parent compound, were synthesized and tested as inhibitors towards Chironomus riparius, mammalian pig kidney and Escherichia coli trehalases. Their potent and selective activity is promising for the development of new insecticides.
Casuarine-6-O-alpha-D-glucoside and its analogues are tight binding inhibitors of insect and bacterial trehalases.,Cardona F, Goti A, Parmeggiani C, Parenti P, Forcella M, Fusi P, Cipolla L, Roberts SM, Davies GJ, Gloster TM Chem Commun (Camb). 2010 Apr 21;46(15):2629-31. PMID:20461849[1]
