Phosphatase-Inert Glucosamine 6-Phosphate Mimics Serve as Actuators of the glmS Riboswitch
The glmS riboswitch is unique among gene-regulating riboswitches and catalytic RNAs. This is because its own metabolite, glucosamine-6-phosphate (GlcN6P), binds to the riboswitch and catalytically participates in the RNA self-cleavage reaction, thereby providing a novel negative feedback mechanism. Given that a number of pathogens harbor the glmS riboswitch, artificial actuators of this potenti...
متن کاملGlucosamine metabolism. V. Enzymatic synthesis of glucosamine 6-phosphate.
Studies in viva on the biosynthesis of n-glucosamine, with the use of specifically labeled glucose in the rat (1,2) and in group A streptococci (3-5) showed that the glucose carbon chain was preserved during its conversion to the hexosamine. Leloir and Cardini (6, 7) noted that extracts obtained from Neurospora crassa converted glutamine and hexose phosphate to glutamic acid and a product tenta...
متن کاملGlucose-6-phosphate as a probe for the glucosamine-6-phosphate N-acetyltransferase Michaelis complex.
Glucosamine-6-phosphate N-acetyltransferase (GNA1) catalyses the N-acetylation of d-glucosamine-6-phosphate (GlcN-6P), using acetyl-CoA as an acetyl donor. The product GlcNAc-6P is an intermediate in the biosynthesis UDP-GlcNAc. GNA1 is part of the GCN5-related acetyl transferase family (GNATs), which employ a wide range of acceptor substrates. GNA1 has been genetically validated as an antifung...
متن کاملN-Acetylation of glucosamine-6-phosphate in Leuconostoc mesenteroides.
A partially purified enzyme (120-fold) from Leuconostoc mesenteroides catalyzed the reversible N-acetylation of d-glucosamine-6-phosphate. Coenzyme A was not required and inhibited the reaction rate. Neither d-glucosamine nor N-acetyl-d-glucosamine served as a substrate for the reversible reaction. The enzyme preparation retained 50% of its original activity after 5 min at 100 C. The K(m) for a...
متن کاملGlucosamine 6-phosphate synthase of regenerating rat liver.
When rats were subjected to partial hepatectomy, glucosamine 6-phosphate synthase (EC 5.3.1.19) of the remaining liver underwent alterations both in activity and in molecular form. To study the molecular alterations, glucosamine 6-phosphate synthase was purified from regenerating as well as control liver and was analyzed by isoelectric focusing. Although control liver exhibited only one form of...
