Abstract excerpt
Polyphosphate (polyP) is a ubiquitous biopolymer whose function and metabolism are incompletely understood. The polyphosphate kinase (PPK) of Acinetobacter sp. strain ADP1, an organism that accumulates large amounts of polyP, was purified to homogeneity and characterized. This enzyme, which adds the terminal phosphate from ATP to a growing chain of polyP, is a 79-kDa monomer. PPK is sensitive to magnesium...
