Publication Abstract from PubMedFructokinase (FK), one of the crucial enzymes for sugar metabolism in bacterial systems, catalyses the unidirectional phosphorylation reaction from fructose to fructose 6-phosphate, thereby allowing parallel entry of fructose into glycolysis beside glucose. The cscK gene from Vibrio cholerae O395 coding for the enzyme FK has been cloned, overexpressed in Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3) and purified using Ni-NTA affinity chromatography. Crystals of V. cholerae FK (Vc-FK) and its cocrystal with fructose, adenosine diphosphate (ADP) and Mg2+ were grown in the presence of polyethylene glycol 6000 and diffracted to 2.45 and 1.75 A resolution, respectively. Analysis of the diffraction data showed that both crystal forms have symmetry consistent with space group P2(1)2(1)2, but with different unit-cell parameters. Assuming the presence of two molecules in the asymmetric unit, the Matthews coefficient for the apo Vc-FK crystals was estimated to be 2.4 A3 Da(-1), which corresponds to a solvent content of 48%. The corresponding values for the ADP- and sugar-bound Vc-FK crystals were 2.1 A3 Da(-1) and 40%, respectively, assuming the presence of one molecule in the asymmetric unit.
