Glucokinase/hexokinase catalyzes the phosphorylation of glucose to glucose 6-phosphate, which is the first step of glycolysis. The open reading frame TTHA0299 of the extreme thermophile Thermus thermophilus encodes a putative glucokinase/hexokinase which contains the consensus sequence for proteins from the repressors, open reading frames and sugar kinases family. In this study, the glucokinase/hexokinase from T. thermophilus was purified and crystallized using polyethylene glycol 8000 as a precipitant. Diffraction data were collected and processed to 2.02 Å resolution. The crystal belonged to space group P2(1), with unit-cell parameters a = 70.93, b = 138.14, c = 75.16 Å, β = 95.41°.
葡萄糖激酶/己糖激酶催化葡萄糖磷酸化生成6-磷酸葡萄糖,这是糖酵解的第一步。嗜热栖热菌(Thermus thermophilus)的开放阅读框TTHA0299编码一种假定的葡萄糖激酶/己糖激酶,它包含来自阻遏物、开放阅读框和糖激酶家族蛋白质的共有序列。在本研究中,使用聚乙二醇8000作为沉淀剂对嗜热栖热菌的葡萄糖激酶/己糖激酶进行了纯化和结晶。收集了衍射数据并处理至2.02 Å分辨率。晶体属于空间群P2(1),晶胞参数为a = 70.93,b = 138.14,c = 75.16 Å,β = 95.41°。
