Abstract excerpt
alpha-Phosphoglucomutase (alpha-PGM) plays an important role in carbohydrate metabolism by catalyzing the reversible conversion of alpha-glucose 1-phosphate to glucose 6-phosphate. Isolation of alpha-PGM activity from cell extracts of Lactococcus lactis strain MG1363 led to the conclusion that this activity is encoded by yfgH, herein renamed pgmH. Its gene product has no sequence homology to proteins in the...
