Phosphoglucose isomerase (PGI) is a key enzyme in glycolysis and glycogenesis that catalyses the interconversion of glucose 6-phosphate (G6P) and fructose 6-phosphate (F6P). For crystallographic studies, PGI from the human malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum (PfPGI) was overproduced in Escherichia coli, purified and crystallized using the hanging-drop vapour-diffusion method. X-ray diffraction data to 1.5 A resolution were collected from an orthorhombic crystal form belonging to space group P2(1)2(1)2(1) with unit-cell parameters a = 103.3, b = 104.1, c = 114.6 A. Structural analysis by molecular replacement is in progress.
磷酸葡萄糖异构酶(PGI)是糖酵解和糖原生成过程中的关键酶,催化6-磷酸葡萄糖(G6P)和6-磷酸果糖(F6P)的相互转化。为进行晶体学研究,来自人类疟原虫恶性疟原虫(PfPGI)的PGI在大肠杆菌中过量表达,采用悬滴气相扩散法进行纯化和结晶。从属于空间群P2(1)2(1)2(1)、晶胞参数a = 103.3、b = 104.1、c = 114.6 Å的正交晶型中收集到了分辨率为1.5 Å的X射线衍射数据。目前正在通过分子置换进行结构分析。
