IUBMB Comments
Levoglucosan is formed from the pyrolysis of carbohydrates such as starch and cellulose and is an important molecular marker for pollution from biomass burning. The enzyme, found in yeast and fungi, requires a magnesium ion. cf. EC 1.1.1.425, levoglucosan dehydrogenase.

Substrates: although the enzyme binds its sugar substrate in a similar orientation to the structurally related 1,6-anhydro-N-acetylmuramic acid kinase (AnmK, EC 2.7.1.170), it forms markedly fewer bonding interactions with the substrate. In this orientation, the sugar is in an optimal position to couple phosphorylation with ring cleavage. A second alternate binding orientation for levoglucosan is found, and in these structures, ADP binds with lower affinity, explaining the high Km of enzyme LGK for levoglucosan. LGK binds the reaction product ADP through multiple hydrogen bonds, including bonds between the adenyl moiety and Asp237, between the nucleotide ribose and Asp221, and between the ADP phosphates and protein residues Ser24, Gly189, and Gly328, mechanism of 1,6-anhydro bond cleavage, overview

the enzyme requires Mg2+ or Mn2+, apparent binding of two magnesium ions in the active site showing ideal octahedral binding of the metals. The first of the bound metals, designated M1, forms an electrostatic interaction with the beta-phosphate, and its positioning suggests that it plays a direct role in phosphoryl transfer. The second of these metals, designated M2, likely plays a key role in coordinating the position of the alpha- and beta-phosphates since it binds to both of these phosphates, although a role in modulation of electrostatic charges is also plausible
Mg2+
required, the enzyme binds two magnesium ions in the active site, four manganese atoms in the dimeric structure, that are additionally coordinated with the nucleotide and water molecules to result in ideal octahedral coordination. The magnesium ions are observed in ideal octahedral coordination with Glu362 and Asp26, several water molecules, and the ADP, overview. The first of the bound metals, designated M1, forms an electrostatic interaction with the beta-phosphate, and its positioning suggests that it plays a direct role in phosphoryl transfer. The second of these metals, designated M2, likely plays a role in coordinating the position of the alpha- and beta-phosphates because it binds to both of these phosphates, whereas a role in modulation of electrostatic charges is also plausible

Mg2+
the enzyme contains two Mg2+ ions. Using 4 and 8 mM Mg2+, the activity is highest at a Mg2+/ATP ratio of 2 and drastically drops if the ratio is less than 1. Employing a constant ATP concentration (2.5 mM), the enzyme activity increases with the Mg2+ concentration until a Mg2+/ATP ratio of 8 is reached at 20 mM MgCl2
