2.7.1.175 | physiological function |
the cell envelope of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the bacillus causing tuberculosis, is coated by an alpha-glucan-containing capsule that has been implicated in persistence. Maltokinase Pep2 forms a heterooctameric complex with trehalose synthase TreS, the complex formation markedly accelerates the maltokinase activity of Pep2. Synthesis of alpha-glucan in mycobacteria involves the heterooctameric complex in the GlgE pathway. The complex formation may act as part of a regulatory mechanism of the GlgE pathway, which overall must avoid accumulation of toxic pathway intermediates, such as maltose-1-phosphate, and optimize the use of scarce nutrients |

2.7.1.175 | metabolism |
the enzyme catalyzes the fourth and last step of the GlcE pathway that channels trehalose to glycogen synthesis and is also likely involved in the biosynthesis of two other crucial polymers: intracellular methylglucose lipopolysaccharides and exposed capsular glucan |

2.7.1.175 | metabolism |
the enzyme is part of the Mycobacterium smegmatis TreS:Pep2 complex, containing trehalose synthase (TreS, EC 2.4.1.245) and maltokinase (Pep2), which converts trehalose to maltose 1-phosphate as part of the TreS:Pep2-GlgE pathway. Proximity of the ATP-binding site in Pep2 to the complex interface provides a rational basis for rate enhancement of Pep2 upon binding to TreS, but the complex structure appears to rule out substrate channeling between the active sites of TreS and Pep2 |
