The crystal structure of human phosphoglucose isomerase complexed with 5-phosphoarabinonate
Structural highlights
Disease[G6PI_HUMAN] Defects in GPI are the cause of hemolytic anemia non-spherocytic due to glucose phosphate isomerase deficiency (HA-GPID) [MIM:613470]. It is a form of anemia in which there is no abnormal hemoglobin or spherocytosis. It is caused by glucose phosphate isomerase deficiency. Severe GPI deficiency can be associated with hydrops fetalis, immediate neonatal death and neurological impairment. Function[G6PI_HUMAN] Besides it's role as a glycolytic enzyme, mammalian GPI can function as a tumor-secreted cytokine and an angiogenic factor (AMF) that stimulates endothelial cell motility. GPI is also a neurotrophic factor (Neuroleukin) for spinal and sensory neurons.[1] [2] [3] Evolutionary Conservation Check, as determined by ConSurfDB. You may read the explanation of the method and the full data available from ConSurf. Publication Abstract from PubMedPhosphoglucose isomerase (PGI) is a workhorse enzyme of carbohydrate metabolism that interconverts glucose 6-phosphate and fructose 6-phosphate. Outside the cell, however, the protein appears to function as a cytokine. A crystal structure of human PGI bound with 5-phosphoarabinonate, a strong inhibitor that mimics the cis-enediol(ate) intermediate of the reaction, has been determined at 2.5 A resolution. The structure helps to confirm the assignment of Glu357 as the base catalyst in the isomerase reaction.
