Regulation of glycerol kinase by enzyme IIIGlc of the phosphoenolpyruvate:carbohydrate phosphotransferase system.

AUTOR(ES)
RESUMO

Wild-type glycerol kinase of Escherichia coli is inhibited by both nonphosphorylated enzyme IIIGlc of the phosphoenolpyruvate:carbohydrate phosphotransferase system and fructose 1,6-diphosphate. Mutant glycerol kinase, resistant to inhibition by fructose 1,6-diphosphate, was much less sensitive to inhibition by enzyme IIIGlc. The difference between the wild-type and mutant enzymes was even greater when inhibition was measured in the presence of both enzyme IIIGlc and fructose 1,6-diphosphate. The binding of enzyme IIIGlc to glycerol kinase required the presence of the substrate glycerol.
