Abstract excerpt
In Aspergillus niger cells spontaneous posttranslational modification of 6-phosphofructo-1-kinase (PFK1) occurs. In a two step process the native enzyme (85kDa) is first cleaved to an inactive fragment (49kDa) that regains its activity after phosphorylation of the protein. The shorter PFK1 fragment exhibits changed kinetics, such as resistance to citrate inhibition. In order to avoid spontaneous complex...
