RECOMBINANT HUMAN HEXOKINASE TYPE I COMPLEXED WITH GLUCOSE AND PHOSPHATE
Overview
Hexokinase I, the pacemaker of glycolysis in brain tissue and red blood, cells, is comprised of two similar domains fused into a single polypeptide, chain. The C-terminal half of hexokinase I is catalytically active, whereas the N-terminal half is necessary for the relief of product, inhibition by phosphate. A crystalline complex of recombinant human, hexokinase I with glucose and phosphate (2.8 A resolution) reveals a, single binding site for phosphate and glucose at the N-terminal half of, the enzyme. Glucose and phosphate stabilize the N-terminal half in a, closed conformation. Unexpectedly, glucose binds weakly to the C-terminal, half of the enzyme and does not by itself stabilize a closed conformation., Evidently a stable, closed C-terminal half requires either ATP or glucose, ...
