E. COLI GLUCOSAMINE-6-P SYNTHASE IN COMPLEX WITH GLUCOSE-6P AND 5-OXO-L-NORLEUCINE

Overview

Glucosamine-6P synthase catalyzes the synthesis of glucosamine-6P from, fructose-6P and glutamine and uses a channel to transfer ammonia from its, glutaminase to its synthase active site. X-ray structures of, glucosamine-6P synthase have been determined at 2.05 Angstroms resolution, in the presence of fructose-6P and at 2.35 Angstroms resolution in the, presence of fructose-6P and 6-diazo-5-oxo-L-norleucine, a glutamine, affinity analog that covalently modifies the N-terminal catalytic, cysteine, therefore mimicking the gamma-glutamyl-thioester intermediate, formed during hydrolysis of glutamine. The fixation of the glutamine, analog activates the enzyme through several major structural changes: 1), the closure of a loop to shield the glutaminase site accompanied by, significant domain ...
