Abstract excerpt
Escherichia coli glycerol kinase (EC 2.7.1.30; ATP:glycerol 3-phosphotransferase) is a key element in glucose control of glycerol metabolism. Its catalytic activity is inhibited allosterically by the glycolytic intermediate, fructose 1,6-biphosphate, and by the phosphotransferase system phosphocarrier protein, IIIGlc (also known as IIAGlc). These inhibitors provide mechanisms by which glucose blocks glycerol...
