All1371 is a polyphosphate-dependent glucokinase in Anabaena sp. PCC 7120

Abstract: The polyphosphate glucokinases can phosphorylate glucose to glucose 6-phosphate using polyphosphate as the substrate. ORF all1371 encodes a putative polyphosphate glucokinase in the filamentous heterocyst-forming cyanobacterium Anabaena sp. PCC 7120. Here, ORF all1371 was heterologously expressed in Escherichia coli, and its purified product was characterized. Enzyme activity assays revealed that All1371 is an active polyphosphate glucokinase that can phosphorylate both glucose and mannose in the presence of d… Show more

“…2A). We took advantage of the existence of strictly polyP-dependent glucokinase (PPGK) enzymes from cyanobacteria that cannot use nucleoside triphosphates (NTPs) as phosphodonors (16,17). We codon optimized the gene for one such enzyme, all1371 (here referred to as ppgK), from Anabaena sp.…”

“…We codon optimized the gene for one such enzyme, all1371 (here referred to as ppgK), from Anabaena sp. strain PCC 7120 (17), for expression in E. coli and cloned it into a plasmid with an arabinose-inducible promoter (72). E. coli has two glucose phosphorylation systems that catalyze the essential first step in assimilating glucose via glycolysis: the ATP-dependent cytoplasmic enzyme glucokinase (GLK; encoded by the glk gene) and the phosphoenolpyruvate-dependent phosphotransferase system (PTS), which phosphorylates glucose during its transport across the cell membrane (73-75).…”

“…PPGKs have been discovered in numerous organisms, such as mycobacterial species (11), Propionibacterium shermanii (12), Microlunatus phosphovorus (13), Arthrobacter spp. (14), Corynebacterium glutamicum (15), diazotrophic cyanobacterial species (16,17), and so on. However, nearly all reported PPGKs have been isolated from mesophilic sources, and the only thermophilic PPGK from Thermobifida fusca suffers from rapid deactivation at 50°C (i.e., half-life [t 1/2 ], 15 min) (2).…”

“…2). The polyP-dependent glucokinase found in several bacteria [14][15][16][17] may be involved in the synthesis of glucose 6-phosphate as one of the substrates for OtsA. The reason why the N9T-4 cells accumulate glycogen, trehalose, and polyP under these oligotrophic conditions is not clear.…”
