Abstract excerpt
Alignment of amino acids of the region implicated in glucose binding from a series of hexokinases showed that Schizosaccharomyces pombe hexokinase 1 had a Ser residue in a place where all other kinases had an Asn. We changed an AGT codon to AAT to place an Asn in the Ser213 position. This mutation decreased Km for glucose from 9.4 mM to 1.6 mM and the ratio Vmax (Fructose)/Vmax (Glucose) from 5 to 2.5. Also the...
