Identification of a phosphate regulatory site and a low affinity binding site for glucose 6-phosphate in the N-terminal half of human brain hexokinase.

Abstract excerpt

Crystal structures of human hexokinase I reveal identical binding sites for phosphate and the 6-phosphoryl group of glucose 6-phosphate in proximity to Gly87, Ser88, Thr232, and Ser415, a binding site for the pyranose moiety of glucose 6-phosphate in proximity to Asp84, Asp413, and Ser449, and a single salt link involving Arg801 between the N- and C-terminal halves. Purified wild-type and mutant enzymes (Asp84...
