'''ESCHERICHIA COLI GLYCEROL KINASE MUTANT WITH BOUND ATP ANALOG SHOWING SUBSTANTIAL DOMAIN MOTION'''<br />

==Overview==
Escherichia coli glycerol kinase (GK) displays "half-of-the-sites", reactivity toward ATP and allosteric regulation by fructose 1, 6-bisphosphate (FBP), which has been shown to promote dimer-tetramer, assembly and to inhibit only tetramers. To probe the role of tetramer, assembly, a mutation (Ser58--&gt;Trp) was designed to sterically block, formation of the dimer-dimer interface near the FBP binding site [Ormo, M., Bystrom, C., and Remington, S. J. (1998) Biochemistry 37, 16565-16572]. The substitution did not substantially change the Michaelis, constants or alter allosteric regulation of GK by a second effector, the, phosphocarrier protein IIAGlc; however, it eliminated FBP inhibition., Crystal structures of GK in complex with different nontransferable ATP, analogues and glycerol revealed an asymmetric dimer with one subunit, adopting an open conformation and the other adopting the closed, conformation found in previously determined structures. The conformational, difference is produced by a approximately 6.0 degrees rigid-body rotation, of the N-terminal domain with respect to the C-terminal domain, similar to, that observed for hexokinase and actin, members of the same ATPase, superfamily. Two of the ATP analogues bound in nonproductive conformations, in both subunits. However, beta, gamma-difluoromethyleneadenosine, 5'-triphosphate (AMP-PCF2P), a potent inhibitor of GK, bound, nonproductively in the closed subunit and in a putative productive, conformation in the open subunit, with the gamma-phosphate placed for, in-line transfer to glycerol. This asymmetry is consistent with, "half-of-the-sites" reactivity and suggests that the inhibition of GK by, FBP is due to restriction of domain motion.
