The crystal structure of phosphoglucose isomerase from rabbit muscle
Overview
Phosphoglucose isomerase (PGI) is a housekeeping enzyme of metabolism that, catalyses the interconversion of glucose 6-phosphate and fructose, 6-phosphate, with roles in the glycolytic and gluconeogenic pathways. PGI, is also a multifunctional protein that manifests the properties of a, cytokine in a wide array of cellular processes, including the production, of immunoglobulin by B cells and tumour-cell differentiation. The crystal, structure of PGI in the native form from rabbit muscle has been solved at, a resolution of 2.5 A by a combination of multiple isomorphous replacement, and multi-crystal averaging techniques. Comparison with published, structures of rabbit PGI in complex with three inhibitors and with the, substrate fructose 6-phosphate reveals a number of conformational changes, that may be associated with catalytic function. These occur in the small, domain around the sugar phosphate-binding site, in a small helix carrying, His388 and in a helix near the C-terminal end. One of these may be the, structural rearrangement that has been postulated to be the rate-limiting, step for catalysis.
