dimer | Tk-GK is a dimer in solution in absence of glycerol | Thermococcus kodakarensis |
hexamer | Tk-GK has a hexameric form with a threefold axis in the crystal lattice | Thermococcus kodakarensis |
More | in the absence of glycerol, Tk-GK is a dimer in solution. In the presence of its glycerol substrate, it becomes a hexamer consisting of three symmetrical dimers about the threefold axis. Through glycerol binding, all Tk-GK molecules in the hexamer are in closed form as a result of domain-motion. The closed form of Tk-GK has 10fold higher ATP affinity than the open form of Tk-GK. The hexamer structure stabilizes the closed conformation and enhances ATP binding affinity when the glycerol kinase is bound to glycerol | Thermococcus kodakarensis |

General Information | Comment | Organism |
---|---|---|
evolution | glycerol kinase is a member of the ATPase superfamily, which includes hexokinase, actin, and heat shock protein. These share a common betabetabetaalphabetaalphabetaalpha folding motif and markedly change conformation upon substrate binding because of interdomain motion | Thermococcus kodakarensis |
metabolism | glycerol kinase (GK) is a key enzyme of glycerol metabolism. It participates in glycolysis and lipid membrane biosynthesis | Thermococcus kodakarensis |
physiological function | glycerol kinase (GK) catalyzes the Mg/ATP-dependent phosphorylation of glycerol to produce glycerol-3-phosphate which is an important metabolic intermediate in glycolysis. In the absence of glycerol, Tk-GK was a dimer in solution. In the presence of its glycerol substrate, it becomes a hexamer consisting of three symmetrical dimers about the threefold axis. Through glycerol binding, all Tk-GK molecules in the hexamer are in closed form as a result of domain-motion. The closed form of Tk-GK has 10fold higher ATP affinity than the open form of enzyme Tk-GK. The hexamer structure stabilizes the closed conformation and enhances ATP binding affinity when the glycerol kinase is bound to glycerol | Thermococcus kodakarensis |
