Popis: | The activity of the ADP-dependent glucokinase from Thermococcus litoralis (TlGK) relies on the highly conserved motifs NXXE (i.e. Asn-Xaa-Xaa-Glu) and HXE (i.e. His-Xaa-Glu). Site-directed mutagenesis of residues Glu279 (HXE) and Glu308 (NXXE) leads to enzymes with highly reduced catalytic rates. The replacement of Glu308 by Gln increased the KM for MgADP(-) and was activated by free Mg(2+). On the other hand, HXE mutants did not affect the KM for MgADP(-), were still inhibited by free Mg(2+), and caused a large increase on KM for glucose and an 87-fold weaker binding of glucose onto the non-hydrolysable TlGK·AMP-AlF3 complex. Our findings put forward the fundamental role of the HXE motif in glucose binding during ternary complex formation. |
