Abstract excerpt
Glucokinase is inhibited in the liver by a regulatory protein (GKRP) whose effects are increased by Fru-6-P and suppressed by Fru-1-P. To identify the binding site of these phosphate esters, we took advantage of the homology of GKRP to the isomerase domain of GlmS (glucosamine-6-phosphate synthase) and created 12 different mutants of rat GKRP. Mutations of three residues predicted to bind to Fru-6-P resulted in...
