Directed molecular evolution of ADP-glucose pyrophosphorylase.
ADP-glucose pyrophosphorylase catalyzes a rate-limiting reaction in prokaryotic glycogen and plant starch biosynthesis. Despite sharing similar molecular size and catalytic and allosteric regulatory properties, the prokaryotic and higher plant enzymes differ in higher-order protein structure. The bacterial enzyme is encoded by a single gene whose product of ca. 50,000 Da assembles into a homote...
متن کاملADP-Glucose pyrophosphorylase from potato tubers. Site-directed mutagenesis studies of the regulatory sites.
Several lysines (Lys) were determined to be involved in the regulation of the ADP-glucose (Glc) pyrophosphorylase from spinach leaf and the cyanobacterium Anabaena sp. PCC 7120 (K. Ball, J. Preiss [1994] J Biol Chem 269: 24706-24711; Y. Charng, A.A. Iglesias, J. Preiss [1994] J Biol Chem 269: 24107-24113). Site-directed mutagenesis was used to investigate the relative roles of the conserved Lys...
متن کاملMechanism of reductive activation of potato tuber ADP-glucose pyrophosphorylase.
The potato tuber (Solanum tuberosum L.) ADP-glucose pyrophosphorylase activity is activated by a incubation with ADP-glucose and dithiothreitol or by ATP, glucose- 1-phosphate, Ca2+, and dithiothreitol. The activation was accompanied by the appearance of new sulfhydryl groups as determined with 5, 5'-dithiobis(2-nitrobenzoic acid). By analyzing the activated and nonactivated enzymes on SDS-poly...
متن کاملComparative computational analysis of ADP Glucose Pyrophosphorylase in plants
ADP-glucose pyrophosphorylase (AGPase), a key enzyme involved in higher plant starch biosynthesis, is composed of pairs of large (LS) and small subunits (SS). Ample evidence has shown that the AGPase catalyzes the rate limiting step in starch biosynthesis in higher plants. In this study, we compiled detailed comparative information about ADP glucose pyrophosphorylase in selected plants by analy...
متن کاملMultiple forms of ADP-glucose pyrophosphorylase from tomato fruit.
ADP-glucose pyrophosphorylase (AGP) was purified from tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) fruit to apparent homogeneity. By sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis the enzyme migrated as two close bands with molecular weights of 50,000 and 51,000. Two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis analysis of the purified enzyme, however, revealed at least five major protei...
