Function

Phosphotransferase (PT) are enzymes which catalyze phosphorylation reactions. The acceptor group can be alcohol, carboxy, nitrogenous, phosphate or a pair of groups. PT which phosphoryltes six-carbon sugars is called Hexokinase. Adenylate kinase 3 (AK3) is a GTP:ATP PT.

  • Aminoglycoside PT (AGPT) inactivate aminoglycoside antibiotics by phosphorylation[1].
  • Phosphoenolpyruvate-protein PT (PEP) catalyzes the phosphorylation of protein histidine residues[2].
  • Sporulation initiation PT (Spo0B, Spo0F) are elements in the phosphorelay system which regulates the initiation of sporulation[3].
  • Microlide 2”-phosphotransferase inactivates erythroycin[4].
  • Polyphosphate:AMP phosphotransferase catalyzes phosphorylation of AMP to ADP[5].
