Abstract excerpt
The pyruvate kinase (PK) from a moderate thermophile, Geobacillus stearothermophilus, is an allosteric enzyme activated by AMP and ribose 5-phosphate but not fructose 1, 6-bisphosphate (FBP), which is a common activator of PKs. It has an extra C-terminal sequence (ECTS), which contains a highly conserved phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) binding motif, but its function and structure remain unclear. To elucidate the...
