Abstract excerpt
ADP-glucose pyrophosphorylase (AGPase) is a key regulatory enzyme of bacterial glycogen and plant starch synthesis as it controls carbon flux via its allosteric regulatory behavior. Unlike the bacterial enzyme that is composed of a single subunit type, the plant AGPase is a heterotetrameric enzyme (alpha2beta2) with distinct roles for each subunit type. The large subunit (LS) is involved mainly in allosteric...
