  • Title: Functional multiplicity of phosphoglucose isomerase from Lactobacillus casei.
    Author: Pradhan PG, Nadkarni GB.
    Journal: Biochim Biophys Acta; 1980 Oct; 615(2):465-73. PubMed ID: 6251893.
    Abstract:
    Phosphoglucose isomerase (D-glucose-6-phosphate ketolisomerase, EC 5.3.1.9), purified from Lactobacillus casei, showed multiplicity with respect to electrophoretic mobility, molecular weight, kinetic properties and responses to erythrose 4-phosphate. Among the three forms isolated, one having a dimeric conformation, was specific for glucose 6-phosphate. Erythrose 4-phosphate inhibited this preparation in a sigmoid fashion, while this compound activated the enzyme for isomerization of ribose 5-phosphate. In tetrameric conformation of the similar subunits, the enzyme was more specific for ribose 5-phosphate and the inhibition exerted by erythrose 4-phosphate was hyperbolic. The possible implications of these observations have been discussed.
